Elive

After much difficulty and with help from Than, I was finally able to install Topaz. Everything “seems” perfect, EXCEPT when I click on Wallpaper, every time, that very action freezes TOPAZ totally. Only way I can get out is forced, hard shut down as ctrl, alt, delete, K & X do not work.

I have many wallpapers I wish to use with slideshow to alternate my desktop and this is a major turnoff and worries that other parts of the menu might not be stable. Please check this and advise. Thank you, John Vincent: vincent4success@gmail.com preferred over yahoo, but I could not get the bug site to recognize my user name or email from previous,

Shutdown process hangs and will never terminate properly.

I`m using elive 2.0 on my ThinkPad T60. After fresh installation I face the problem that the system is not shutting down or reboot properly.
If I shutdown the system from the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2) I see that the process is going to run till the message
“Asking all processes to terminate ...” appears. Then it hangs. I have to press the Hardwarebutton.

There seems to be more IBM ThinkPads affected. Please see the Forum entries ...: http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?5,4635

Do you know why?
Thank you

The driver loaded after the installation by the module cpufreq is wrong. In the Live version, it use the acpi-cpufreq driver, which is the good one for Intel Atom proc I guess. In the Installed version, the driver used is p4-clockmod so the cpu scaling frequency and power management is not done correctly.

The hibernation process seems to work perfectly. When I turn my EeePC 901 (which supports hibernation), it recovery until I heard the sound which told me “Elive system restored”, I can see and move the mouse cursor, but the screen still black and nothing append, even if I press Alt+Ctrl+Del or Alt+Ctrl+Backspace or power button or anything else. I have to hard reboot it. It does the same with wifi On and Off before hibernation but it works perfectly if ecomorph is not loaded.

ecomorph default hotkey for ‘scale’ is the same as for ‘expose’ which is Ctl-Alt-o. Shouldn’t it be Ctl-Alt-p?
After correcting this hotkey, scale doesn’t work until it has 2 instances of a same program to show and also rxvt windows don’t show up.

Hi, i have made a first installation, with the install code that i have received by mail. When i try to reinstall elive with my liveCD, the program tell my that the install code is not correct !

Missing drivers for Realtek 8191se PCI wireless card.

Iceweasel browser will not open email with hotmail.com. Hotmail.com says outdated and errors with mismatch tag. Tried to upgrade with synaptic package manager but synaptic package manager error message when reloading update lists and firefox is not available. Old versions of firefox (as in Mint 8 or other old linux distros) continue to work in Hotmail but iceweasel errors. Google Chrome does not offer add-ons that Firefox offers such as download helper so is not a good iceweasel replacement. I recently just paid for elive 2.0 and am facing errors with it being outdated. William

yesterday 13march ipaid for the installer module,but when it started to erase my hd it freezes,so i had to restart the procedure,it wanted the installer module,so i paid again. the same incident occured.so now i have 2 problem =(1)=i was unable to find where to email for my money back.or (2) how to get the installer without paying again. please tell me what to do. i was installing topaz.

Hi,
I am using elive_2.1.58_alpha_hybrid from live CD (not installed)

I want to kick the pre-installed chromium browser as it not usable with this lot of annoying ads.
So I remove it using synaptics, but df or free displays even more RAM in use, so I do not know whether it is really gone.

Then I can install iceweasel (or iceape) using synaptics and they are working fine also with noscript.

Would it be possible to pre-install iceweasel or iceape instead of chromium?

Hi Team,

Thanks a lot for great work of art and development!
There is however a critical bug for Russian l10n: if one chooses Russian from the initial boot menu of Topaz 2.0 stable, the encodings for NTFS become look like this: ru_RU.KOI-8.utf8 and because there is no such encoding set, all those partitions must first after booting in become unmounted (as the distro mounts them automatically which is great, but sadly not in this error case), then the encoding for ALL ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab must be manually changed under root to one of the normal one, like ru_RU.utf8 (I always just deleted that obsolete KOI-8 records), and then become again mounted normally.
This bug also causes an error or a couple of them during the boot-in process, and definitely prevents users from adequate access onto their ntfs partitions, as naturally all Cyrillic chars become unavailable, and mount problems, etc.

Just to mention: when the world does already have UTF, national encodings look as obsolete and as odd as using the sudo scheme while I totally agree with your philosophy of “if you want to become root, simply type “su -”, enter password and become root”.

The bug spoils everything equally out of a live CD or a live USB stick.

Just to notice: KOI-8 as a Russian national localization encoding is almost not used anywhere by now (March 2014). UTF8 has already for pretty long been a recommended and much more effective encoding set to properly map and operate over Cyrillic chars. The great example of simple UTF8 implementation of l10n is in a commercial by now live CD/USB distro of PartedMagic.
Thus a question: is it posssible to get a rebuilt version of the same Topaz 2.0 or much better a newer stable bootable elive system with the described bug fixed?

Thank you!

PLEASE be describable, clear, and direct. Think that we need to understand, found, and solve the bug.

Remember to set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

Thank you

If the connection manager module is enabled, it states that it needs econnman to work and please download it.
It would be useful if econnman was in the repository and would make getting online a tad easier methinks.

With the new installer in 2.3.1 iso the reiserfs4 cab still be selected ad the desired FS but after install on boot it seems the reiserfs4 modules are still missing!

Hibernation just blanks screen, session still life in background (sound movie still playing) system unresponsive (mouse works, no screen). Calling the hibernation script with kill apps that prevent hibernation switch does shutdowns the system but on restart a whole bunch of journal replays are done and a clean desktop is shown (all applications have been killed). Sleep mode works like a charm!

Latest 2.3.1 ISO

installed from...iso 2.3 beta / kernel 3.14
all updated through synaptic.
Both Thunar and EFM freeze the system when trying to open a new folder or document
I have not tried anything else as I keep having to reboot

Good afternoon.
I first use your OS.
And I am having difficulties with its installation.

I downloaded the beta version of the distribution.
Here at this link: http://www.elivecd.org/downloads/other/2.3.3/elive_2.3.3_beta_usb.img

I recorded image on a USB drive.
Reboot your PC.
In the beginning there was the menu.
I choose “graphics mode” - but nothing happens.
Next I choose “Install” - but also nothing happens.

Then I choose 2 item on the menu and run the Live mode.

Running passes without problems.

Next I select the icon “Install.”

It is updated, then asks to select the partition for SWAP.
But in the choice - it is empty. I can `t choose anything.

Next I miss this step and proceed to sleduyuyuschemu.

Where, I asked to select a primary partition for the system.
But in this window, as empty and again I can not do anything to choose from.

* The note says that you need to unmount the partitions which will be installing, I - it did.
But during installation, windows were still empty and again I could not select the partition to install.

Please tell me how to install your OS?

After to close blender in the static version, it exits with an error value, maybe because of an error setting the audio card to 44100

so enlightenment shows a window with error dialog, annoying

OS: Elive Topaz+ (beta)
Arch: 32bit (x86)
update status: Fully up to date as per official elive repos.

how to reproduce:
Open a folder in Thunar, right click, point at create document = window manager freeze (Entrance?)

heres a video for demonstration:

videos are sluggish on a Sandy Bridge ..
I had to disabe AIGLX in xorg.conf,
¿why is aiglx enabled anyway?

Version 2.3.6 installed on HDD.

Hibernate are not working at all.
When I press button Hibernate the screen become totally black,
only mouse is active and can’t do anything,
i waited around 2 minutes and nothing changes so i restarted my laptop by power button.

PS. I installed “powermanagement-interface” package
and edited “/etc/default/grub” by adding there new line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”resume=/dev/sda5”

and now i am using “pm-hibernate” (from terminal) and it’s works well but i want do it from button.

Also i want to know where this action scripts are stored i mean “Power Off”, “Suspend”, “Lock”, “Reboot”, “Hibernate”, “Log Out” ?
I edited file “/etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf”
by editing line:
“action: hibernate /usr/sbin/hiber.sh”

in hiber.sh i have > “pm-hibernate” command.
But this doesn’t work so i only can go to hibernate from console by command “pm-hibernate” :(

After installing it on Latitude e5410 and setting up some extra libraries such as mono-complete for keepass2. I noticed that terminology stopped working.
I get only one error when trying to access terminology –help from cli:

ERR<10762>:efreet_cache lib/efreet/efreet_cache.c:1108 on_send_register() org.enlightenment.DBus.Canceled Canceled by user.

Thats it. and since this system is always updated, I also had this reported into the chat room, some updates were made it did not helped.
