Elive

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:

On the latest Elive testing ISO (1.9.24), the system fails to boot since it can’t detect the base system. Debian Lenny also does the same thing.

I asked on the Debian IRC and apparently there is no support for my cd drive in the 2.6.26 kernel. I’d like this added so I can boot elive. might as well just update to a newer kernel if you ask me (but that’s not my place).

Elive Gem works fine. If you want I can provide additional information.

Hi!

since the version 1.9.21 i got some problem with a lot of application. Here is a example with gmail-notify. The application is installed but doest start.

[wordE ~]$ gmail-notify
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./notifier.py", line 6, in <module>
  import gtk
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
  from gtk import _gtk

ImportError: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size

Some solution!

Best regards

I noticed that net-connector on eeepc doesn’t autoconnect anymore or does it seldom.

I have just downloaded and burnt elive, tried to install on PC & get the following on screen:

Tried fail-safe, crashed with differentish set of errors

My sys is an asus P5E3, intel core 2 duo, GeForce 8800gt with 4gig of ddr3.

There’s needed some extra modules in the initrd in order to boot elive from an usb that are plugged in (some) pcmcia devices

I’m using 1.9.26.
From time to time it simply “looses” the resolution-settings of xorg.conf
Manually rewriting it does not help a thing.
The only way to solve this is to completely overwrite it with a backupfile.

Synaptic or root terminal will not open. asks for root password, then it dissappears. I’m kind of stuck if I cant get to either of those.....

At least with the “vmware player” bundle script, thunar looks like to want to open with the wrong application (mplayer), do some kind of launcher for it, with terminal and etc...

Hi !

I have the last Elive Development version elive_1.9.28_unstable installed on my Desktop. I know you will say who use FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) now adays. But i need to use it for my Keyboard to load new Keyboard Styles and Rhythems. The Floppy Drive write too slow. it takes more than 20 Minutes to finish writing and deleting.

Please try to fix that.
