Elive

Hello - I have just earlier tried to download Elive stable and was forced to make a donation just to do that. The download failed because my computer crashed and since I was using a DSL-Linux live cd the link to the ftp site has not been saved. I live on a very tight budget and can not afford to waste my hard earned money for nothing. I need access to the download without having to make another donation or at least return the money back to my account so that I can give it another try without making a unneccesary loss.

Thanks, Patrick.

At first live boot on a pentium III 600Mhz medion model LT9399 (3D AGP 8Mo), asus L7000G)portable the screen is black with slight difference. Unable to see and to manage with installation when Ctrl+ALt+Tab change user seem to give the correct light screen but in a little while the system shut down....

If i use slovenian language keyboard all the keys dont work. There are only few keys working. Aproximatly 10 keys. If i use english language all keys are working but i dont have then support for special regional letters like (Š???Ž)

I noticed this problem in all elive version (stable and development)

This is a picture how the layout is looking like

Looks like it is not really possible to have a full utf-8 working system on console mode, this mades a lot of translated messages (like in spanish(á, é, í...), or russian) bad readable, broken, crappy...

Maybe is a fixable bug since looks like to work in the installed system

If is not fixable, remove liveboot translations

during install get error not enough free space message reads
filesystem 1kblocks used availible used% mounted on
udev 10240 84 10156 1% /dev
tmpfs

during install of live cd crashes out at about 90-95% saying not enough free space and following message

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev 10240 84 10156 1% /dev

I added Gadgets-Icons to my Desktop. Then I found that they have no function and, even worse, I cant remove them anymore!

I added them like this:
Left-clicked the Desktop →Settings →Gadgets → select “Settings” or “Temperature” →click apply.

But I cannot find a way to remove them!
AND they cannot be moved and also do not have any use.

If unetbootin is selected, there’s no a language set, if is the case, popup a dialog asking for a language

What does if you dont press anything in the boot menu ? (maybe keyboard not working?), is the variable set to english or to nothing ? (Note: there’s a part in the boot that sets english if there’s not anything set)

Hibernate/suspend features are not stable in some computers, maybe the hibernate* tool in elive should ask/warning about this before to do it

Hi! I really like working with Eltrans. It’s a really nice tool!
It would be nice to have the Possibility of translating everything Elive-related with Eltrans. For example all e17-Modules. And later maybe even other Applications?

:)

PS: Thana your work really rocks! I’ve never been so keen on any OS! I wish I could help you more.

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.

The intel pro 5100 wifi card doesn’t work with Elive. There is an Intel driver : intel linux driver but I’m a newbie and I don’t know how to install it ... Somebody can help me ? thanks!

There’s a big problem with the updates of the system that will broke the graphical system, this bug has Critical severity

The problem is that, if you upgrade your system, it will update the GLX package of your ati/nvidia drivers, this means, that you will have a X version of the kernel with an ati (or nvidia) module in the version Y, that is incompatible with the updated version Z of the GLX package

To solve that problem, I have used all this time a block (hold mark) of the GLX package (the user should have the same kernel all the time)

But the problem is, for example, that if the user update the system that include an updated kernel, and an update of the ati kernel module, the GLX package for ati is not updated so it is incompatible and the user can’t reach the graphical system

Actual case: updated system: update the kernel, but the packages fglrx-driver, fglrx-glx and fglrx-kernel-2.3.26.8-elive-686 are holded, so not updated, the kernel can’t simply load that old version of the ati driver and the user can’t reach the graphical system

If we hold the packages, there’s the problem that everything needs to be updated (so, do not hold anything) in order to work correctly. But if we don’t lock them, also if the user upgrade the system, will use the same version of the kernel, so then the ati GLX package will be updated and not work with the old kernel/module, the only solution for that and everything is that update the version of the kernel too (with a virtual-package for example)... this was requested by some users but, it is a good idea ? what happens if a user dont want to update his kernel ? what about if a version of the kernel mades the computer of a user to NOT boot or not work ? and finally... the grub menu needs to be updated on that case then

Comments about this problematic issue ?

Net-connectors gui no longer displays interfaces or configuration options after upgrade run through synaptic on 3/24/09. Results have been replicated on 3 laptops and one virtual machine. program dump is as follows.

the e17 transparency should be reenabled as soon as possible, w/o transparency the quality of the desktop drops alot.

package oss-compat solves the issue, recommend to add in the default install

if the user select the “static” mode, the entry’s should be writed automatically with the actual ip variables (the ones done by dhcp or the actual used)

It is needed a nice search utility for the menus and/or the file-manager

Does not work the option of updating via the Internet hours

Doesn’t found the installed ntp package

Synaptic does not start , failure in the application.
Version 1.9.25 compiz.

I’m using Elive-dev 1.9.24 with latest upgrades.

Now the graphical Logout Manager fails. It does not show the window it should but only a part of it.
To show you what I mean I took a screenshot:
