Elive

Una vez instalado todo los programas que son ejecutados en menu que necesitan root no se ejecutan piden clave pero se queda parado, en terminal funcionan perfectamente.

Version 1.8.6 al actualizar (upgrade) deja de aparecer automaticamente al reiniciar la red. Teniendola que habilitar en panel cada vez que reinicias.

system: elive 1.8.8 (downloaded from elivecd.org) installed on inspiron 1520

the default language is us and it is OK... the problem is when i change the keyboard layout to estonian in elpanel, the output of the keys is totally mangled. it looks something like a mix between webdings and chinese

since the layout is NOT giving latin letters, the user is unable to log in. this is a big problem for those new users trying out linux/elive... they have no idea how to fix xorg.conf themselves.

logging in from command line i was able to see that the xorg.conf had “et” as a layout instead of “ee”

after changing the layout to “ee” manually, everything works again

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.

Hi,

I just have installed the last development release of elive on my dell inspiron 1300 laptop.

Everything went ok except that after the “fine tuning” of the installed system the network connection is not activated by the default by the system when doing a normal boot. For the moment i am using elive panel to access the network connector to connect the card to the internet (via DHCP) or ifconfig in the terminal.

I saw that the netconnector has a “auto-connect” feature which is ticked yet it seems it doesn’t work.

My ethernet card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-Tx card.

Thanks a lot for your help on this and congratulations for a fine linux distribution.

In elive panel it would have to ask the root password only once, when somebody click on the “admin and system configurations” menu, and not every time when click on one of it’s submenu.

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.

Repeated lines to Standard out for close error: [Errorno 10] No child processes. It seems similar in nature to this bug at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2007-July/039036.html. Additionally the program that seems to be causing it is netconnectord.

Hi!

since the version 1.9.21 i got some problem with a lot of application. Here is a example with gmail-notify. The application is installed but doest start.

[wordE ~]$ gmail-notify
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./notifier.py", line 6, in <module>
  import gtk
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
  from gtk import _gtk

ImportError: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size

Some solution!

Best regards

The options in the grub menu for the no sensors boot are wrong. It has duplicated the “nobluetooth” parameter from the No bluetooth option above, and doesn’t contain any options to disable sensors.

(Apologies for not being able to provide much in the way of technical info.)

1.9.22 ecomp version
Eeepc901, ssd, first ssd partitioned in ext3/boot, reiserfs/root, linuxswap/.

What happens that I can see is the following. I choose hibernate, the system finds the swap- partition, writes to it, and shuts down. Upon reboot, tuxonice cannot find the hibernation state, and the system loses the swap. Seems likely this is normal, since the swap- partition is marked, and shouldn’t be overwritten - still, I am not able to figure out why tuxonice won’t attempt the restore. Attempted to set verbose mode, but no luck on the boot- section.. The init says swap:’huge md5- like checksum’, etc. Attempted to increase the swap- partition, also change it to a different drive, with the same result.

Hi!

Can you please add this Driver of this Printer to Elive, it is a great Printer. The Link of the Driver is:

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031118.asp?model=

There is a simple instruction how to add this Driver and the Printer to Debian, but it did not work for me well, i had to start cups whenever i want to print out somthing, and under the superuser mode. This is the Link for it :

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much

Hi!

When i click on Audacious, the mouse pointer jump to the left high corner of the screen automatically, please fix this Problem.

FreeEagle

Many applications, such as aTunes, OpenOffice, and Audacious have different screen corruption issues. Audacious has problems scaling and the player window shows elements of last application used.

Openoffice sometimes displays documents off-center with no scrollbars to re-center.

aTunes song info window remains on desktop with off-center information.

Version 1.9.32 updated last week with ‘aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude dist-upgrade’

After returning from ibernate there is no more sound.

‘lspci’ shows the card :
05:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS

The enlightenment-sound-gadget disappeared too.
Tellme what you need to investigate.

After upgrade to new version ( did burning new version, booting and upgrading/installing )
all programs I had installed has been deleted.

Don’t know if you think this is a bug, but for me would be very important, once I suited a system
with hours and hours spent for installing what needed and configuring, tricking to make programs
reacts as I would, have all this job vanished for a normal, upgrade

When waking up from Suspend the screen brightness seems to be at the lowest - I have to use the function keys to turn up the brightness.

This is on a HP Pavilion DV6000.

Version 1.9.32 updated three weeks ago with ‘aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude dist-upgrade’

I have since two days no more sound. No more enlightenment-sound-gadget, nothing
with alsamixer. The only way is to give as root ‘alsa reload’. So sound came back, but
alsamixer continue to display no channels.
Tried to reconfigure sound with elivepanel, with ‘audiomanager’, with ‘audio-configurator’ but nothing change. Just ‘alsa reload’

My tv card do not work whith tvtime and any other program, I installed tvtime in debian lenny 5.0 and it got work but in elive unstable do not work, my tv card is a pinnacle whith chip philips, if someone can helpme whit this bug it is important to me.

After dist-upgrade yesterday (1.9.60) and restarted, module places disappeared from system. Whats’ wrong?

When trying to change resolution screen goes black and a box appears showing that Enlightenment SEGV’d.

To reproduce this bug please boot Elive from a CD, selecting automatic resolution. After full boot up enter Settings Panel/Screen/Resolution and choose some other resolution and frequency but do not save your selection, just click “restore” button and then change frequency again. Now this crash should happen.
I supose this behaviour is easier to reproduce using CRT display.

My guess is that this SEGV happens because when you mark resolution and frequency for the first time and cancel, the choice of resolution is not remembered, but you are still able to choose frequency and try to set it.

My rig has GeForce 5700 FX and thus uses nvidia 173 driver.
