Elive

The live cd does not boot from a firewire dvd-recorder; at least not the one which came with my Acer Travelmate 3012wtmi.

Both Debian and Ubuntu boot with no problem at all (Debian used to have the same problem before, though) and in Gentoo, it works when the “doscsi” kernel argument is passed. I have not successfully booted Elive with this drive, however.

I don not think this will be a problem very hard to fix; it just needs to be detected ;).

I will try the latest Elive as well (downloading now) and report, but I don not expect it to work, since this bug is not mentioned on the “Fixed Bugs” list.

This is by far my favourite Linux distro Thanks.

The Bug
System hangs(with mouse pointer disappearing) on my IBM Thinkpad T22 (P3, 512mb ram) every time I use the internet. Problem occurs in both e16 and e17(more frequently here) versions of elive 0.4, 0.5 all and so far on Revolution livecd.

I don’t know if its elive, firefox or just a general problem with Debian and the Thinkpad.

Hi

I have elive Rev rl2 on my IBM thinkpad and for some reason when I try to boot I end up with a black screen or a blackscreen with a non-flashing comand promt just as the entrance logon screen is about to load as though the system has crashed at this point. It didn’t happen when I first installed elive but then when I tried to boot a second time after installation it happened. I thought maybe it was something I did and tried to reinstall but this time it took about 10 restarts before even the eliveCD would boot entrance properly in live mode. Anyway I reinstalled it seemed to work for a while and then again just now, entrance would not boot properly again even in recovery mode. I finally got it up again after repeatedly turning the laptop off and on again.

When entrance loads elive 0.6+ rl2 works perfectly, (such a perfect lil distro my battery even lasts 3-4hr twice that that with any other OS) it just this issue with entrance not being booted properly that’s the problem.

Is there something I have to change in the monitor setup, i.e. frequency? how do I do this in recovery mode comand line?

Thank

During booting the system hangs and I have to unmount the battery to turn the thinkpad off. It works perfectly on my pc.
the last messages during booting:
Ramdisk: compressed image found at block 0

Live CD doesn’t stops loading due to kernel panic: Thinkpad 600E with toshiba cdrom (24x) drive

message on screen:

(on my desktop PC live mode works fine) Revolution 2 works fine on my thinkpad (has there been a change in method of compression??)

Hi!

I tried after installing the last version of Elive
elive-codename: Revolution rl2+
elive-version: 0.6.8
date-builded: 2007-04-30
debian-version: etch
stable-release: no

to update the System apt-get update && apt-get install e16, everything went well, except that Internet work very Slow under E16.I use WLAN .

Please try to complete the Mime under Elive, its not finished.

There is some files that are ziped but are protected with passwords, the concerned programme under Elive can not recognize that automatically, i should first start the Archievmanager manually then put the password in the field to be able to unzip the file, but i know it is possible to make this automatically but just one click, ( Unzip ) then the Programme gives a field this just in case that the File are protected with password to enter.

AUtmatic Update manager, its a really need for Elive. I would like to see it in the next versions.

Users do not know when they should do Update, especially New users.

Hi!

After updating my System today, i get this message whenever i started my Scite it says:

Scite has a BUG, do not save your files in UFT-8 codification or use a better editor like vim! :)

you do not need UTF-codification if you do not use accents or other special charts than used on “simple plain English”

elive uses oldatapi driver. brasero and k3b and xcdroast all recognize the drive but don’t burn CD’s.

XCdroast advizes to use scsi emulation, but that doesn’t seem to work also.

Hi !

after a new install of Elive Gem 1.0 on my Laptop, i had this Problem again. Elive does not show the time and Date correctly again.

I Updated the whole system but the Problem Still exist, then i tried to use tzconfig to solve it but even when i choose the correct time Zone it keeps showing the wrong time, another thing i did is to use the UTC timezone but then it shows me the correct time but a wrong Date.

BTW. I have only ELive on my System and there is no Windows on it

I use Aspire Laptop : Model 5550 from Acer.

Please upgrade to the new enlightenment, this version is completely obsolete.

Hi there!

I installed today Elive Gem on my PC, everthing worked well, even my Linksys USB Wifi, were recognized and worked smoothly, but after updating the system online through apt-get, i get some Problems:

1. The System does not shutdown. It reach the line the System will shutdown now and then keep at this point without doing anything.
2. My Syslink USB Wireless-G adapter, is not anymore recognized under Elive. When try to list the Lan cards with ifconfig or through elive Panel, it show me just my eth0 and IEEE but no eth1 which it is my first Wifi USB adapter. I have another Wifi card, which is built in the system, but it does not work with Elive.

So please try to fix this Problem urgently to be able to surf the Net.

Best Regards,
FreeEagle
