Powernowd hangs at boot for approx 10 minutes while booting in VMWare.

Confirmed on Hardware as well, intel and amd of via, intel, and nvidia sli chipsets.

Occurs in latest release candidate.

Sound card not found in VMWare, sound configuration tool states:

No supported PnP or PCI card found. Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips?

In previous versions the sound worked.

This occurs in the latest release candidate.

In “games” section many included games are not listed for the Elive menu. Such games as elitare as well as others are not listed.

This occurs in latest development version and beyond

Installer hangs on ‘rmmod floppy’, after selecting gparted as the partioner

Floppy drive is not connected

3997 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /bin/bash /usr/sbin/eliveinstaller

installer updated on 20070602

kernel module missing for:
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)

This prevents installation on systems with this card.

I believe that support is added for this controller in newer Linux kernels

To print anything I can select in Abiword my printer. But nothing happens. From all other applications (browser, xpdf), the prints are ok. On the other hand to create a pdf file with Abiword is also ok.

The eap file of Elitaire is wrong. The executable “Elitaire”, must be “elitaire”

iceweasel crashes about every 1-1 1/2 hours

Cdparanoia has a known issue (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391901) with SATA drives when ripping CD’s. Grip using it’s own internal cdparanoia code and also the cdparanoia binary freezes the entire system when ripping starts.

I think there’s a patch available but not sure if it’s implemented. Grip would also occasionally freeze teh system using cdda2wav ripper too although not every time.

Can’t login to system because I set Russian language.
I can’t switch to US input language.

xorg.conf:

XkbLayout "us"

US language must be use always as mandatory language.
Any another language must be added as next language.

xorg.conf:

XkbLayout  "us,ru(winkeys)"
XkbOptions "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"

Hi !

I asked many times before to add the VPNC to Elive, but what is good to have the last VPNC, simply because it is much more better than the included version to Elive now.

See this site for more information about the current version of VPNC:

Thunar lost his root privilegue after some apt-get upgrade to umount device. Only in console as a root I can now do it..

Some feature taken from forexample gnome would be nice..

Computer : Dell Inspiron 1100 with intel i845 graphic chip

Problem : with VLC or mplayer

I can switch a video to fullscreen mode, but, i can’t switch back to normal size, i have a black screen, with all possible video output (XV, X11, OpenGL.....)

I found a temporary solution :

Open a video normaly with mplayer, then do ALT + Right Click, fullscreen

There, E17 will switch the window in fullscreen, mplayer doesn’t anything and to switch back in normal size, do the same operation, ALT = Right Click, uncheck fullscreen.

This problem appears since 0.6.7 from memomry.

Cinelerra hangs on start and it’s not possible to do anything.

Is it possible to add bidi support to e17 so right to left languages wont be displayed backwards. and also after changing font of the titlebar the title font of windows with default borders wont change.

I would like to request a couple of items be added to the installer for ease of use.

• I use VPN to get into my home network, this would be a nice package to have installed already.
• The package installer seems straight forward, but when you choose to install the extra apps, where do they go? Did they get installed or just downloaded? Maybe some literature included as a help link within the installer would be nice, or an interaction from the installer to place downloaded items into the programs menu, even under one category like recent installs or something.
• E16 and E17 are very different in nature, but I would like to see some of the features combined. I like the raise up of the E16 on the bottom menu, but hate that it does not show battery consumption, Temperature and time. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

I can be the guinea pig for these changes if necessary. I think this is one of the better distros, so keep up the good work.

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.

During my install of Elive from the development live cd, the text box came first, then the choice box came under it, hidden. I may have clicked the text box as the choice came up, causing this trouble. When nothing seemed to happen, I moved the box to find the choices underneath. Possible confusion, If the choice comes out beside and visible, no more trouble...

If you try to install on existing partition, there’s little in your install GUI to identify the partition you are attempting to install to. In my case hdb1 hdb4 hdb5 were what was listed, with no specific info about any. I had two windows 2000 fat32 partitions, c: and d: and two linux partitions, a swap, and the main EXT3 partition to which Mepis was installed. as I installed, I reasoned that d: would be the middle, thus hdb4, but something made me retrace my steps. I quit the install and started again. I opened gparted this time, My mepis partition was hdb5! I would have overwritten 30 gig of data had I used hdb4! I can usually recognize the partition if a size is given, or even better, if the format type (fat 32 or linux swap or EXT2, or EXT3 or reiserfs or whatever...) I felt left in the dark at this stage, I caught my error, but not by much... If there’s a way to add this info to the installer it would greatly help people like me...

This is a bit confusing. When you are installing Elive on a disk that has already partitioned, it could be nice if we can show the “partition type” and “partition size” in order to identify where Elive will be installed.
It’s not a bug, but it’s still opened as a “feature request” </Thanatermesis>

I am not able to compile things such as vmware server or the cisco vpn client against the running kernel despite having kernel headers and/or source installed and linked.

NOT A BUG - Request for feature
