With ELive 1.9.20 and on my Acer Aspire One I cannot boot up into X when on battery.

The boot is taking EXTREMELY long time and when it finally does something I get a console login.
Upon login it complains that all FS are readonly and hence fails to create the proper locks for X to startup.

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

If you partition up your disk and want /boot to be JFS then Grub just shows the “Grub is now loading” with the “Stage 1.5” at the top.

I’ve tried to load up the livecd and mount and chroot into the installed environment to run grub manually, but that does not work either.

This is both for elive 1.9.36-compiz and the .37 non-compiz.

When the install is finished and the update script has run - then it displays “News in elive”, but displays News for elive 1.9.02.

I am making a syslinux.cfg for my USB stick, and I noticed that the arguments passed to the kernel are the same if you choose No Bluetooth or No Temperature.

When on the road and staying at hotels - it becomes necessary to connect to their unencrypted networks, but net-connector from the control panel refuses to connect to unencrypted networks.

It would be nice if there was an option of “Automatically connect when in range of network” - like in for instance WiCD (or windows netmanager).

I’ve installed version 1.9.16 and when I try to make the laptop enter Hibernation then it goes through the steps and ends up with a black console with a cursor blinking - and then it wakes up immediately and plays the sound “elive has been restored”.

I’d like to be able to select JFS for /boot

When installing on a HP Pavilion dv6000, sl-modem-daemon (and sl-modem-modules-KERNEL) gets installed, and they mess up the fine tune process.

Sometimes it just freezes and goes no further but sometimes it produces a kernel oops.

I’ve removed the sl-modem-daemon and modules since I have no use for it (and I cannot turn off the modem in the bios of the laptop).
And now the fine tune just completed.

(a newcomer might not realize what to do to make it work and then give up on the installation)

When asking to create a user - it might be a good idea to ask if the installer should create more users.

This could be useful if it was to be installed on a family computer.

(Something along the lines of the request to add more partitions when partitioning the hard disk)

When waking up from Suspend the screen brightness seems to be at the lowest - I have to use the function keys to turn up the brightness.

This is on a HP Pavilion DV6000.

Installing Crossover Linux (both Pro and Games) from CodeWeavers causes either enlightenment or Xorg to hang or crash.

When the install is finishing up Xorg/enlightenment freezes, mouse can be moved, but nothing happens - and I am unable to change to another desktop using CTRL + ALT + arrow key

The same thing happens when trying to install applications or managing bottles. Though sometimes I get an error message that enlightenment has SEGV’ed with the options to Recover or Quit.

I think it might be when Crossover tries to generate menu links for the application, but I am not entirely sure.

I am sorry to say that this used to work under Ubuntu/enlightenment.

You can download a trial of Crossover Games here:

(This is important for gamers - hence the severity)

If you use VM-ware then you need to have the kernel-headers on your system for compiling the needed modules.

It would be nice to have a package “kernel-headers” to point to the current headers for the current kernel, that you can install in Synaptic - instead of having to hunt down the source for the current kernel version, then use make-kpkg kernel_headers to create a kernel-headers package.

If this already exists - then please point me to it.

The installation process of any Jetbrains IDE ends in error. This installation works on Ubuntu, Kali, Arch, and it is very straightforward.

This occurs after unpacking zip files and running the install script.

Running on a Dell Optiplex 320, 4Gb Ram, ATI Vid -Running Live CD

Video and audio hardware detected correctly.
Opening screen (Desktop) should have not only clock but also the current date somewhere.
Ice Weasel browser handles multimedia well. I have noticed odd behavior browsing on Piratebay.org, after loading initial page, subsequent ones, after clicking navigation controls on bottom of page, refuse to load???
Need to have an email client (s/b able to be configured & tested on live CD)
-Outstanding distro. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to next version.

PLEASE be describable, clear, and direct. Think that we need to understand, found, and solve the bug.

Remember to set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

Thank you

Waking up after suspend is unpredictable. Typically stops before attempting to restore the desktop. (Sometimes the recovery is normal).

Swap is 1100Mb on sdb5, RAM is 1Gb. Added kernel... resume=/dev/sdb5 to menu.lst. Save- operation completes, restore fails.
