Elive

A friend of mine has an ethernet modem
It worked fine till yesterday when i upgraded his system, from then it didn’t work anymore.
pppoeconf tells that it can’t find any address concentrator on the ethernet, and it doesn’t work.
I have no clue how to fix it, since there shouldn’t be any kernel or driver issue (since is an ethernet modem).

Hello,
i ask for a features, because the terminla on Elive, not cool!
we need the best of the terminal :

Terminator: A multi-view terminal

Terminator gives the possibility of having multiples terminal within the sa
As such, it makes it easier to handle multiple terminal sessions as for instance, working in one console and monitoring another one without constantly switching from a window to another.

At the moment, Terminator is available for Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Sid. Anyhow, the source are available from https://launchpad.net/terminator/+download. Once installed, you can start a new terminator session by executing terminator :).
From there, you will be able to split views either by Right-Clicking on a terminal view or by typing the following keybindings:
terminator: terminator multi-view terminalterminator: terminator multi-view terminal

• Ctrl-Shift-E: will split the view vertically.
• Ctrl-Shift-O: will split the view horizontally.
• Ctrl-Shift-P: will focus be active on the previous view.
• Ctrl-Shift-N: will focus be active on the next view.
• Ctrl-Shift-W: will close the view where the focus is on.
• Ctrl-Shift-Q: will exit terminator.
• F11: will make terminator go fullscreen.

i hope i can see it on the next release, what do u think about this?

Hello, i don’t know if u have seen, but when u quit Elive, u have the screen with elive started, but elive quit, maybe a bug?

Recode the IBM video, it has a very noisy sound

After loading in live mode or after install with Russian (Ukranian,Bulgarian and so) as language for system. We need to Elive automaticaly change default font to Sans. It is needed for them who using cyrillics. Without this we can see only squares Instead of letters somewhere (in control panel for example).

Font of E17 theme, basically

How about adding some nice tools to overcome wifi-encryption?
It would be nice not to have to seek for public-hotspots, but to be able to break into nearly each wifi-network to use it for free.
;)

Net connector doesn’t autoconnect to a profile in ethernet even if auto connect is set up.
this as today upgrade

EEEpc701:can’t change any options in the installer:
i choose ext3 partition, no bluetooth, but after reboot i got a reiserFS partition and all packages.

Ubuntu doesn’t set any password to root by default, this is a very good idea (ironic), so that the migration mode of the installer works perfectly but when the user want to do anything with root... can’t do anything, cant login, nothing... since there’s no password

Add a verifier of root passwords in the migration/upgrade mode so that will request it if is empty

I will need a sample line of the root file / etc/shadow in order to know how to detect it

Assign some default applications for the firefox files (like .deb downloaded files, .edj, etc)

Installing in /dev/hdb1 for example, grub generates a configuration using (hd0,0), where it should be (hd1,0)

The questions is...

• with which disk you boot the computer ? hda or hdb ?
• where you have selected to install grub ? (if the installer has asked you this)

I think that the selector of grub needs to be rewrited... in case that is not hda or sda, ask allways to the user about which/where to install grub, a better look needs to be made on this side

please comment this ticket, i need your info for fix it :P

Aparently if you install Elive with / as JFS and rebooting from the e17 menus, the JFS root partition is mounted as RO in the next boot

Please do details about how to reproduce this bug, in a updated version of elive (< 1.9.30)

Aparently the configuration for console-setup is not set

Somebody has reported me that recently, no one of its computers will connect to internet automatically (wired), after to talk a bit with him i have discover that he has just set a own profile name to their connections (instead to keep the default name)

Cause: He has changed the default profile to other name

This could be a very common problem, the users don’t know that they needs to use the name default in order to have it to autoconnect or it will not work.

Fix: What I think that could be a good fix is to don’t permit the user to change the name default on the profile, until there’s actually a profile called default existing and that has the autoconnect set to Yes. Any better idea ?

Add a feature in the elpanel configurator of entrance that enable/disable autologin, based on this howto http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?18,1244

run this command from the live mode using CDROM (no usb): dmesg | grep -i error | grep “I/O” and please paste in the comments a block of ‘code’ mode the result

It would be nice to have a multimedia manager on the style of itunes added to elive repositories:
Its a while i’ve been using Songbird and it really works amazingly, much better than rhythmbox
At the moment is available as a tar.gz, but is a precompiled executable, just depack in /usr/local/bin/ and you are good to go, but it would be nice to have it added as a .deb to elive repositories.

The spaces on the ESSID is not fully supported, on some pieces of the interface (list of essid’s and status) are only show the first word, the good point is that it does connect correctly here (essid is “scg & volcanica”), but the status looks like are not correctly showed (like it not connected).

This is a minor-preference bug

I like using “Sticky mode” (i.e. traditional X sticky so it sticks on all desktops)because I keep one terminal window with a screen session on all desktops.

When setting “Sticky mode” for a window, window often spontaneously disappears or moves somewhere else. Temporary solution is to left-click on desktop and click “Lost Windows” and find it there. The window will then usually be found on desktop 0:1.

I am using dual-monitor configuration with both monitors as one desktop with elive-compiz. I do not have this problem on single-screen elive-compiz on a laptop, so this is probably some kind of issue with X and twinview/xinerama.

Thanks for the most awesome distro ever.

See diff for /etc/init.d/eeepc-elive-scripts:

#diff eeepc-elive-scripts.old eeepc-elive-scripts
23c23
< echo -n 1 » /proc/acpi/asus/camera 2>/dev/null
—

echo -n 1 » /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera 2>/dev/null

Reason: 2.6.26 and later kernel has moved /proc/acpi/asus to /sys/devices/platform/eeepc

I will check also other scripts, volume, brightness, etc...

Hi!

Can you please add this Driver of this Printer to Elive, it is a great Printer. The Link of the Driver is:

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031118.asp?model=

There is a simple instruction how to add this Driver and the Printer to Debian, but it did not work for me well, i had to start cups whenever i want to print out somthing, and under the superuser mode. This is the Link for it :

Thank you very much.

Hi!

Would you please add this Resolution to Elive:

Hi!

I miss this Application in Elive deve. , we need such a Programme to Brows other shares in our Network, especially shares that have user name and Password (Protected shares).

Please install either this Programme or any other similar one.
