Elive

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.

Every time, even for the first time with nothing installed there is a dialog at the time of logging out/powering down/restarting that this process takes too long time and I have to confirm what I want to do - shut down system..

From bug  FS#70 : [polish] - some polish national signs shows up as boxes on windows description and in aplication menu which is accesible after left click on desktop.

Maybe need retype this descriptions in pure UTF-8 environment?

Hello
i wish to know if it would be possible to have a gimp unstable build, since the old gimp is almost unusable due to having menues completely crazy, the new one is totally stable i am currently using on ubuntu.

Hi,

I noticed that PCMan does not recognize( Show ) the deleted files or the downloaded files directly,but just after refreshing the directory or to move to another one and then come back to the same one. Just in this case i can see if the file is deleted or not. Sometimes PCman remove the files immediately, but most of the time not.
I use the last developed version of Elive
elive-codename: Revolution rl2+
elive-version: 0.6.8
date-builded: 2007-04-30
debian-version: etch
stable-release: no

After the update via Synaptic, Opera does not start. I get the message “Speicherzugriffsfehler”.

The apt sources list was not changed to “etch”.

I was exploring the games your included in ELive
Opened PAcMan ( I come from that era)

and it opened on my 2 screen, brought back my 2 screen in mirroring mode

I had to reconfigure my screens

Probably not a problem on a one monitor config

Elive works well at older computers like Amilo M 7400, 512 MB RAM and about 1.2 GHz.

But Office solutions like LibreOffice too much bloated for old computers.

Because looking for Beginners using Elive (I think it’s perfect, because intuitive using is nearly perfect), giving a choose by using Elive, if old hardware is detected.
Beginners don’t know, that Abiword and gnumeric for example are good enough for the most office works.

And there are much less performance needing office solutions, i don’t know.

In germany we would say, thats the point of the letter “i”.
;)

Whenever I am away from my PC for about five minutes without putting it to sleep, when I move the mouse it decides to have a blank screen with lines on it. The PC then stops responding and I have to force-reboot which wastes time and battery.

Thanks!! (Version 3.8.2 beta)

I installed the Elive_1.9.23_unstable and after installing nvidia-settings and started it in the Superuser mode. I had a wierd thing. It changed the default Keyboard from German to English and could not restore it again to German.

I am unable to get the live-cd mode to start the nvidia legacy 96xx driver/module. It fails after trying to unpack the 96xx kernel and uses the NV driver instead (meaning no 3d acceleration). 96xx is the correct version for my nvidia mx440 card and has worked perfectly in previously in past elive versions up to Gem. Unstable version 1.8.8 and the two previous unstable releases of them all had the same problem. Good slow burn at 8x speed and Md5 checked. not a particular release as it is exactly the same in those three 1.8.8 and below. Also an error box prompts at startup saying not all features have been started and recommends rebooting to try to get them working.

Installs fine, It installs the NV driver etc and when i try to switch to/install the 96xx after install I am not good enough at linux to get it working. It never starts x and pushes me to a login prompt.

During boot it even tells me there is an error and report it here.

livecd 1.9.51
The live cd bootups, i choosed nvidia 173...driver (recomended by the system), resolution 1280×1024, but no way, the screen is shown on 640×480, after taht i tried with al the drivers avaliable on the elivecd without luck.

Opcions Panel > screen > screen resolution: shows only avaliable 640×480

The same thing happened with a FX7200

In my installation of elive 1.7.8 nvidia drivers work offering only a 800×600 definition.
Installing nvidia-xconfig packages and running it fixes the resolution but breaks glx
Seems the DCC is not properly working.

Hi,
I update my stable version and my NVIDIA card not run actually.
I would compil the nvidia-kernel to resolv this problem but it’s impossible (problem whit gcc version).

Hi!
I’m using Elive-dev 1.9.48 and tried testing nurse-mode.
It started booting and when the System asked for my root-password it did not accept it but kept on asking for the password again and again.

Is it possible the system simply loaded the wrong keymap?

thank you very much!

I installed the num lock package for having num lock enabled in x sessions, however every time i reboot there is no num lock in my elive.

Running on a Dell Optiplex 320, 4Gb Ram, ATI Vid -Running Live CD

Video and audio hardware detected correctly.
Opening screen (Desktop) should have not only clock but also the current date somewhere.
Ice Weasel browser handles multimedia well. I have noticed odd behavior browsing on Piratebay.org, after loading initial page, subsequent ones, after clicking navigation controls on bottom of page, refuse to load???
Need to have an email client (s/b able to be configured & tested on live CD)
-Outstanding distro. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to next version.

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

It’d be great a non graphical installtion like debian’s one, so that older hardware with low memory (under 512mb) will be able to install the os without needing to swap and, possibly, taking less than a hour.

It would be useful to be able to choose a partition for /home without formatting it during the elive installation

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!

love the distro but just can’t get the wireless driver working,using elive 1 running with a prism 3886 wireless card which is not recognized,loaded windows driver with ndis wrapper,loaded wicd.wicd will not load and can’t get any access to internet other then through Ethernet.

Trying to install Elive 3.8.9 beta and get message of no wifi drivers found.This is a HP Envy x360 convertible laptop.This is the output of my wireless interface.

The Ethernet adapter in my secondary laptop is a Tigon3 chipset. I need this module to be able to use Ethernet.

The Dell D610 is one of the many laptops with an adapter that uses this driver.

Some feature taken from forexample gnome would be nice..

Sorry, I write this post in Spanish.

Version 1.9.41 con el live cd tengo sonido , al instalar no hay sonido , intento cargar el emodule mixer y
me da error “Gestreamer no puede cargar ningun codec” desde El Panel no hay posibilidad de configuracion ya que
solo dispongo de una tarjeta de audio.

Asi que decido hacer un reinicio i sorpresa tengo sonido i funciona todo perfecto.

De todas formas lo expongo aqui para que lo tengan en cuenta , se necesitan 3 reinicios para que esta version funcione bien.

Greetings:
Agust
