Elive

i have installed elive 1.9.51 on a acer aspire one A150L but i can’t write any symbol like @,# and any other symbol that needs ALT GR. the keyboard is italian and it’s well configured.

a strange thing is that i can write them only in the command launcher (alt+esc). in any other applications they don’t work.

I have dual booted a HP paviliion dv7-2170us with dev version 1.9.5 [i think] of elive & vista. it is x64 architecture. These are the bugs that I am finding:

[1] unrecognized file system when rebooting into vista; this doesn’t always happen though, so I wondered if it had anything to do with selecting full ntfs support when I installed. I reinstalled using the read only but unmounted by default option which has not corrected it.

[2] soundcard only plays through subwoofer speakers at bottom of device, leaving the primary speakers unused; this results in a horrible sound.

[3] no 3d, but I haven’t spent much time trying to fix this yet, but it is an ATI radeon HD 4650 with 1024 MB video RAM, so it would be nice to utilise it.

I am using suspend when I am not using my gateway computer. When I brought it back up, the sound was not working.

Hi

Just wondering if there is a way to get elive to access a wireless network using Protected EAP (PEAP) as WPA authentication.

I have installed FreeRadius from synaptic but don’t know how to configure it.

The Keyboard setting qwertz is still falling back to qwerty after a reboot or log-off.
It’s on: 1.9.5.0, 1.9.5.1 and 1.9.5.2
The bug is up to 1 or 2 packages I install from elive-repo,
Nvidia-xconfig and/or Nvidia-settings (I need them for my 2. Monitor)

In Menu>Settings>Settings Panel>System, when “Esu” is called, the window asking for root password lacks in my opinion a “close” or “cancel” button.
This could be handy for someone who selected the wrong setting to open, a user that does not know the root password, or anyone who finally prefers to just cancel the requested action.

Additionally, the text about Esu when it asks for password is presently :
“Welcome to Esu, this program will give you access to other users providing you have there password.” This text could be improved and become :
“Welcome to Esu, this program will give you access to other users provided you have their password.” (italics to show corrections)

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..

I’ve read about this problem and it’s not problem of elive, it’s global problem and I don’t know solution. Mplayer and VLC stopped playback video and mozilla plugin doesn’t work. Win32codecs have installed but it seems like VLC and Mplayer are unable to find them. Kaffeine/Kmplayer/Xine/gxine plugin.. all of them works still but these two - mplayer (the root of elive) and VLC don’t...

The CPU speed stand still low even after plugging power cord to adapter and the speed doesn’t grow up to full or to medium possibility. Still low power-saved mode. I have installed advanced power management, powertweak and gnome power management-the new one feature.

I think this shoul be nice feature and maybe easy to do.. Add this feature to possiblities settings of feature - for example to have watch all the time above the windows or volume or others often needed..

Hello,
a problem for elive 1.9.56 and earlier versions up from about 1.9.30: (where older versions did not have this problem, but i don’t know exactly)

description:
the startup elive sound is much too loud (almost breaking the speakers)

on Lenovo R61i (and probably other laptops of this brand)
on DELL Latitude C540 (and also other laptops of this brand)

i found a workaround:
after selection of language you add nosound to the command line options
then the sound will be just audible but not annoy your neighbourhood.

on other computers like Apple MacMini or Samsung the sound level is ok.

on Apple iMac elive does not sound at all.

Hello,
can u use scons 1.2
because the 1.0 it’s too old, and i can’t instlal application, and install scons is difficult :
i can do it!

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
In devel.version 1.9.58 and 1.9.59 - live mode - several programs cannot be started. Examples are synaptic and gparted

System: elive 1.9.57
Language: English
Keyboard: US

If root password [and possibly user passwd] is set during HD install with “$” as the first character, elive appears to accept the password. Once the system is installed ‘esu’ and terminal commands like ‘su’ fail to accept the password.

This works perfectly on every other Distro I’ve ever used, so I think it must be specific to the elive installer.

Also, once the system is installed, attempting to change the password using the GUI user manager attempting to set a password beginning with “$” fails with the message “The passwords are not equals, please try again”.

It appears to accept other non-alphanumeric characters. It only fails with “$”

The best solution would be for the password setting to work correctly with “$” as the first character in the passwd.

A less professional but at least acceptable alternative would be to generate an error telling the user not to start a password with “$”. This would be a useful workaround but might appear as a shortcoming relative to other distributions.

I’m trying Elive 1.9.60

There are strange values in a box on the right.
As far as I know these values should look more like 60 Hz, 70 Hz, 75 Hz, 85 Hz...

You may also notice that there’s no marked refresh frequency on the right although 77 Hz (it really stands for 85 Hz) was just selected and saved (it’s what I mean in report #542)

... and probably other windows, although they are correctly displayed in menu.

Elive 1.9.60

Rectangles mark places where those characters should be displayed.

Hello can u add by defalt thie logs , please

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???

-Outstanding distro. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to next version.

Since 1.9.52 Unstable and 2.6.30.9 kernel version all the Elive releases are very “unstable” and buggy for my system,both in live and installed mode,with or without ecomorph enabled,the system totally freezes after no more than 5 minutes and it can’t be unlocked with ctrl+alt+backspace or alt+PrintScreenSysRq+REISUB,only with forced reboot.The pppoe internet connection is very unstable too with many disconnections and very slow speed.In rest the system is very fast even in ecomorph mode.
Personally I blame the latest 2.6.30.9 kernel version,with older 2.6.26-2 version I haven’t got these problems.

1.9.60

hotkey for suspend/hibernate not working anymore.. (dell D620)
I think it’s something with new gnome power management?

And If I choose to power down from menu and select suspend,
the message with warning (probably this one causing this) stopped to suspend machine-
only black screen, nothing I can do, switch to another user ctrl+alt+f1 and there with SU
tried to reboot and after this the machine suspends .. strange..
And after waking up there is this messagi-warning which I have to cancel everytime, no matter if it tells click cancel not to see this anymore..

The same thing happends if I LID the LCD panel - the system hangs and I have to switch user or power down the PC to suspend the machine..

Hello, I tried to play with flash player to install it in chrome, found some solutin with dynamic link of libraries, but it worked only in terminal admin su manual run of chrome.. After “tweaking” I’m not able to run flash in opera, iceweasel also :( The report is something like:
ERROR: .... adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so : /usr/local/lib/libnss3.so : version “NSS_3.11” not found (required by /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so)

the same with native_library_linux.cc

I know I’ve upgraded somewhere something and I think it did the installer of flash directly from adobe, but what now?
Thank U

wlan with bcm4312 broadcom chip no more connecting with network connector in RC-versions of Elive.

After upgrade system from ISO the volume setup to 100% - too loud for the first time..

The needed “features” for upgrading system from ISO (CD or HDD ISO):

- let the gadgets be as they were before
- let the background be as it was
- lost the hotkey setup from the keyboard shortcuts made by myself
- lost the installed applications, they’re still on HDD but they’re not installed

If U end some dialogs from setup panel without exit as expected - for example not to wait for EXIT button and end it with close window or ESC, there is E17 error appeared..
