Elive

After upgrading my elive i noticed that XV video was no longer playable in mplayer.
Fiddled around till i found the reason the
Option “VideoOverlay” “on”
which i had in my previous xorg.conf was missing in the new one
I added it under Section “Device” restarted it and the XV is working again
moreover now changing desktop with animation is far faster and more fluid.

here is my current xorg.conf

Hello
i confirm that 1.9.20-1.9.21 kernel panic during bootup when using the latest nonfree virtualbox (2.1.0).
This happens on an Athlon Xp 2200, on a centrino 1.4Ghz which have different versions of elive installed:
The athlon has 1.9.20 upgraded and the centrino has 1.9.18 dist-upped to current.

I’m running Elive 1.9.18 Development on laptop Msi VR630X. While running Skype I received a message that I don’t have webcam and microphone wasn’t working either (microphone and webcam are built-in).

new installation of 1.9.21, the machine has a matrox card, seems that it keeps double clicking.

Due in ver 2.0

please link prntscrn button to a prntscrn command

also please add

Shift+prntscrn for video recording

thank you

<roxville> <roxville> for Thana: <eshep> roxville, if you see him before i do, ask him about a keymap selector on the bootup blue screens
<roxville> <roxville> <eshep> that should be simple to add
<roxville> <roxville> <eshep> and just have it do an automation of “dpkg-reconfigure console-data” <Thanatermesis> mmmh, keymaps reconfigurator in elpanel doesn’t configure keymaps of console

more and more often when i open small windows such as pidgin or amsn e17 puts them on the border of the screen so that i can see only a tiny piece...
i have then to grab then and move to a better position.
I don’t know if is smth related to wrong settings but for sure i didn’t have this is gnome and it doesn’t look nice..

I tried to install LXDE and to start it tru entrance.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work, every time i try to start LXDE entrance reboots..
thus is impossible to use LXDE.

when using GUI to import a new theme, a file selection window is displayed. The problem is that from the default directory, the “Go up a Directory” button is grayed out (unselectable).

This can be ugly-fixed by clicking “Add to Favorites” button, after which the “Go up a Directory” button is activated.

System - elive 1.9.21-6

The Swiss French keymap dont work.
it does not work on live and installed mode. I can change.

when install the elive gem after confirm whit eliveuser and elive like password y see this in the panel: `
eliveuser@Elive[`]$_
after that nothing
what y due wrong ???

Evince can’t open web links, see it at for example this pdf http://www.vimeo.com/groups/cinelerra/file:1612

The video thumbnails in thunar fails when the video is too short (time)

They may also be wrong...

See the videos on your Nokia phone (thanatermesis talks himself) to have an example

There’s a kind of mess between these 2 interfaces (wifi and wired), i removed all the netconnector configurations and then started the daemon and configured only for my wired connection, that is a static ip with autoconnect=yes, after to reboot i have:

A different ip (a dhcp one) for my wired interface, if I run netconnector (gui), in the Wired part i have my static ip set/configured, and in the Status values says that i have a different one (this dhcp obtained one), if i run ifconfig i have the static ip set to the WIFI interface instead of the wired one. Again in the GUI, in the Wifi part, i have the “autoconnect” box set in ON (of course i have not set it, maybe the problem is from here?), and the status for the wifi says that I have the static ip.

A more descriptive image can be found at http://thana.no-ip.org/shots/deleteme-netconnector-strange.jpg

My configurations are:

root@Babylon:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces-eth0 
iface network inet dhcp
root@Babylon:~# cat /etc/net-connector/profiles.conf 
[ath0]
[eth0]
[[casa]]
wireless = No
wireless-mode = None
essid = None
encryption_key = None
wpa-driver = None
encryption = None
dhcp = No
gateway = 192.168.2.1
address = 192.168.2.166
netmask = 255.255.255.0
auto_connect = yes
dns1 = None
dns2 = None
root@Babylon:~# 

I just found that Eltrans discarded and replaced my nearly finished “eltrans”(over 90%) Translations. Now it’s at about 30%! And I got no idea where all the work has gone to! Additionally both, the Fuzzy and “ready” Translations are of a really bad quality.

Update marillat (multimedia) dependency packages, specially ogmrip to the version 0.12.3 (elm0 report)

Move all the multimedia-repository packages to a new repository branch

Like it says in the review article http://news.softpedia.com/news/Elive-Compiz-104523.shtml , when you mouse-in around a window in the pager or the minimized applications, there’s not a kind of popup information about “what” is that window, could be nice to add this feature ?

Could be nice to boot from USB devices for computers that can’t boot from USB (bios) (and that doesn’t has a CDROM), for that, could be needed to boot a grub, this grub should load the kernel and the initrd (the kernel include the drivers needed for the USB’s), and then the initrd (eli) will list all the devices so the user select his USB to boot from

This is very nice to have for computers that can’t boot USB’s (or doesn’t has cdrom), and a easy way to upgrade to newest elive versions

More info or scripts can be available in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992426

Update: This feature actually exists (tested and working), just add the parameters boot=eli changedevice to your grub and you are able to boot from the USB :) (only a Elive system, so it scans for it)

For some old computers (like my new old dell latitude c400), the default synaptics configuration not works

It is needed to remove the default configuration of synaptics, use gsynaptics from user instead
