Using beta 2.9.2 trying to enable persistence, gives me error “You don’t have enough space available.” I re-sized the partition from winbugs ( UsbWriter-1.3 installs it to the pendrive formatting only the image size needed), created partitions next to the Live_OS one, etc and always gave me that error. But persistence works anyway.

There’s needed some extra modules in the initrd in order to boot elive from an usb that are plugged in (some) pcmcia devices

Not much info, i just know that it not works, so:

• see if the module loads correctly (modprobe nvidia and run dmesg too)
• see if the version of the module package and the glx package are the same version
• read X logs
• use the xorg.conf of the installed system

don’t have tty1,2,3,4,5,6
when I press < ctrl + alt + F2,3,4,5,6 > I just see a black screen with blinking cursor on top left ( no login ). Pressing < ctrl + alt + F1 > I see boot logs, but not login. ‘ps -A | grep getty’ gives me no results. In /etc/inittab tty lines are uncommented and the file was not modified.
version 1.9.31 upgraded with ‘aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude dist-upgrade’ the problem was the same before upgrade too.
The problem/bug happen on my both pc desktop and netbook aspire1

Installation of 1.9.41 does not ask locality. No facility to set keymap or timezone at installation or in Elpanel.

There isn’t the driver for Linux Realtek RTL8111(B)/RTL8168(B)
(module r1000).

Attempting to escape from prisoner status at M$. Have tried many distros over past few months, E17-Compiz my favorite so far. Have downloaded and installed latest version, 1.9.40 and during installation process, of course, installer verfied my download as being good.

Problem 1) No audio, Audacity (the Denon player)and Audio CD extractor both DEAD, nothing happens, no instruction. However, when I play a DVD, using movie player, I have sound? Either bug or are there special codecs that need to be downloaded to play CD’s and MP3‘s?

Problem 2) Each and EVERY time I boot E17-compiz, after it finalizes, a window pops up saying it needs to “fine tune”. This process takes almost 10-15 mins and always ends with: ERROR: Module slamr does not exist in /proc/modules. It would seem something in the loading of the info off the Live CD is incompatible? I have deleted and re-installed whole system, same problem, cannot stop/prevent “FINE TUNE”

Problem 3) E17-Compiz will NOT shut down. Go to System, power off and a window pops up advising of shut down, but stating: “please wait” After 10 minutes of waiting, still nothing happening. This problem happens every single time requiring me to Alt + SysRq+O to get out. Perhaps the shut down and fine tune are related as E17-compiz is not shutting down properly and is noted on the next boot triggering the “fine tune”.

If these are not “bugs” (although I have spent hours on each problem) please advise corrective measures in simple, easy to follow instruction. I note forum is not much help on most problems and this is one thing that really discourages people who are trying to leave M$ from going to Linux.

I am happy to pay for support or even to financially invest in this project as I like what I see, but am discouraged that basic things like sound, boot up and shut down do not work. I can understand and appreciate E17-Compiz is not stable, but one would think basics such as these would be way beyond the unstable/in development mode.

Thanks for any help you can provide and if bugs, I hope they can be corrected asap.

Upgraded to 1.9.10 and REAL NICE, saved all old data, even OZ themes with animated wallpaper that I had to configure previously.
I would like to recommend that the “profile name field” be filled in the network connector default such as “eliveuser” as the network does not work because the field is blank.
Upgrade did not remove Exalt from menu, just the icon.
I know you are working on network Icon so I won’t ask.
Beautiful, smoooth, upgrade!

In 1.9.18 and 1.9.19 in installed mode I have to open the network config.and click on connect every time i login to get on the internet, it will not remember my isp settings

Net connector doesn’t autoconnect to a profile in ethernet even if auto connect is set up.
this as today upgrade

error on an insert of a CD rewritable on the second (slave) CD-driver

the error message display “échec au montage de disque CD-RW” (the title was translated and means the mount failed ;
the next part of the message wasn’t translated):
Method “mount” with signature “ssas” on interface “org.freedesktop.hal.device.volume” doesn’t exist
– End of the error message

The CD wasn’t mounted.
Next try with the same CD on the first (master) CD-Driver : works fine.

I installed 1.9.21.
Installation worked fine. But after reboot I could not login again.
The login-screen appears and works well untill the system tries to start the “Desktop” But the Desktop does not appear, instead of the Login-Screen appears again and again and again and....

I also tried a login-console and login worked fine! But the bash did not “know” the command “entranced”.

Hi,

my System:
Notebook Asus G1s, Dualcore Intel 7500 - 2,2GHz, 4GB Ram, Nvidia m8600GT, running on a second Monitor.
OS:
Elive 1.51 Dev - lang=de

The Bugs:

1. Keyboard - Live works fine in German with QWERTZ Keyboard. The installed System is in German but the Keyboard falls back to QWERTY. If I change it with Elpanel QWERTZ works only for the actual Session, after Log-Off or Reboot the Keyboard is falling back to QWERTY and didn’t save my settings. There is one Error Message while changing:
Die Konfigurationsdatei /etc/default/console-setup spezifiziert eine Tastaturbelegung und -variante, die von dem Konfigurationsprogramm nicht unterstützt wird. Deshalb werden keine Fragen über die Tastaturbelegung gestellt und Ihre gegenwärtige Konfiguration wird erhalten.

2.
a) The System freeze while trying Themes and changing them for a few times. I have to break the session with ctrl alt f1/f2.
b) or if its not freezing there comes an Error Message like: enlightment is crashing, recover or exit.

Thx and LG

When installing elive 1.9.39 from the live cd creating a boot partition, the installer stops with an error stating that there is not enough free space on the hd.
i used a 60gb hd entirely dedicated to elive.
40 mb /boot (reiserfs)
3.5 gb / (reiserfs)
56.5 gb /home (xfs)

any thoughts?

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

Terminal takes all the free power of CPU on multilanguage system+keyboard layout-easily solved: Remove indication of switched keyboard in xorf.conf by lightening Scroll or something else. CPU falls back to normal!!! (unbelievable,but works for me-Czech lang. install+keyb CZ+US)

Installing in /dev/hdb1 for example, grub generates a configuration using (hd0,0), where it should be (hd1,0)

The questions is...

• with which disk you boot the computer ? hda or hdb ?
• where you have selected to install grub ? (if the installer has asked you this)

I think that the selector of grub needs to be rewrited... in case that is not hda or sda, ask allways to the user about which/where to install grub, a better look needs to be made on this side

please comment this ticket, i need your info for fix it :P

If you partition up your disk and want /boot to be JFS then Grub just shows the “Grub is now loading” with the “Stage 1.5” at the top.

I’ve tried to load up the livecd and mount and chroot into the installed environment to run grub manually, but that does not work either.

This is both for elive 1.9.36-compiz and the .37 non-compiz.

I’m using Elive-dev 1.9.24 with latest upgrades.

Now the graphical Logout Manager fails. It does not show the window it should but only a part of it.
To show you what I mean I took a screenshot:

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

I’ve just tried to use the Elive 1.7.9 unstable LiveCD version, but the X Window system doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried all kind of workable configurations for my monitor and even tried to boot with the “Video Problems” option. It doesn’t matter what i do, the message it gives me is the following:

(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Just for beeing more specific, i’ve used the EliveGem 1.0 LiveCD version and it works very well, on the same pc with the same especifications. Also, i’m using the 1.7.9 LiveCD version on a virtual machine and everything is just fine (but it’s actually another computer, i know).

Here are some especifications of my computer, where the graphical interface of 1.7.9 development version didn’t work:

Chipset: VIA 8VM800M
Bios: P4M80P
Graphics adapter: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
Video Monitor: LG Flatron ez T530S
Processor: Pentium 4 2.8GHz
Network: VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter
RAM: 768MB

I guess i could help you, and i hope everything i’m telling you will be usefull. Anyway, bellow is also the Xorg log file that i’ve saved on my Ubuntu partition, before i restarted the PC. I’m ready to help on any direction. Thanks and good job, developers, Elive is wonderfull!!

Can’t installing Elive on VMWare. The Eliveinstaller reports this:

Error Information:
	An exit code of 1 was returned from sudo eliveinstaller.

Output Data:
	There was no output

Error Logs:
	There was no error message

It happens after I make the partitions, then I choose where goes Swap and where goes Root, and so Eliveinstaller crashes saving this in the log!

Thanks for the attention on this, I’m a truly fan of this distro.

PS: I’m submittin’ this again ‘cause I didn’t fill the left questionaire.

Cheers!

• If you create a new user, it can’t login to entrance since you dont wait that the selector of graphical system appears (at least having other graphical systems in the list like e16 listed in the list of window-managers to select (top-left corner))

i noticed that the default way elive boots on eeepc is in spanish language!!! i think this is an error, it should boot in english!!
