 743 2020-02-062020-02-21Bug Report Gdebi-gtk unable to install .deb files Closedstoppy98
100%
3.x (beta's) Task Description

It looks like Gdebi-gtk is unable to install .deb files since (at least) elive 3.8.1.
THese are the reports from the forum:
“gdebi gui does not work, exits without doing anything, invoking this installation with terminal goes off well without problems”

“It dies silently without giving any errors”

The lack of sudo rights was excluded by Thanatermesis since users should be able to handle packages without requiring any root privilege by default (though further testing do not support this theory), moreover it looks like an Thunar related Issue.
A video is attached, showing me trying to “reinstall package” and “remove package” from the gtk. In both cases, as stated above, gdebi dies silently. Downloading the package from the main repository gives no issues (looks like). The same happens when installing a fresh program.
After trying with gdebi gtk, i run gdebi within a terminal. Without sudo rights, it exists without error stating “you need administrator rights!”, while running it with sudo installs the package without issues.
Need to find the roots of this evil behaviour to allow average users to install packages without requiring terminal knowledge.

Task Description

Synaptic will not update everything. If i update lists, and select the option to mark all, it cannot update. (it displays the folowwing error:)

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package libglu1-xorg due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option. E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libglu1-xorg


This is a problem of the upgrade of xorg7, well, the more simple option is “upgrade your Elive” from the Elive installer (a new feature similar a upgrade than a installation), it reinstall the system automatized saving your /home partition, users, files, main configurations, etc

 32 2006-09-282006-11-06Feature Request Add gPodder to Elive Repositories! Closedlontra
100%
Task Description

This is a request to add gPodder to the Elive repositories. There’s already a Debian package at their website but it’s always nicer to pull in .deb goodness with apt!

http://perli.net/projekte/gpodder/index.html

gPodder media aggregator

gPodder is a Podcast receiver/catcher written in Python, using GTK. It manages podcast feeds for you and automatically downloads all podcasts from as many feeds as you like.
gPodder is released under the GNU GPL.
gPodder can copy podcasts to your iPod automatically, so you can take your podcasts anywhere you like.
gPodder is lightweight - it does not need much power and integrates nicely into your (GTK-based) desktop.

Task Description

Mouse speed REALLY slow for dell inspiron 510m when x is started..

To fix it, I needed to add:

Option        "SHMConfig"     "on"

to the section in xorg.conf:

Section “InputDevice”

Identifier  "Synaptics"
Driver      "synaptics"

EndSection

(this allows one to set the synaptic properties in real time in X)

Also, these needed to be set:

      Option      "LeftEdge"         "75"
      Option      "RightEdge"        "790"
      Option      "TopEdge"          "58"
      Option      "BottomEdge"       "600"
      Option      "FingerLow"        "14"
      Option      "FingerHigh"       "15"
      Option      "MaxTapTime"       "180"

      Option      "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "0"
      Option      "UpDownScrolling" "1"
      Option      "TouchpadOff"    "0"

      Option      "CircularScrolling" "0"
      Option      "CircScrollDelta" "0.05"
      Option      "CircScrollTrigger" "1"
      Option      "CircularPad"    "0"
      Option      "PalmDetect"     "0"
      Option      "PalmMinWidth"   "10"
      Option      "PalmMinZ"       "200"
      Option      "CoastingSpeed"  "1"

I think that not having the”SHMConfig” is a bug in eLive, and possible having incorrect synaptics settings could be a bug in the synaptic driver.

But it could be possible to probe for specific laptop type, and set up decent parameters based on that.

sorry for an annoying bug! And close it if it’s too hardware specific..

 36 2006-10-152008-09-11Bug Report Booting from Firewire DVD-Recorder not possible. ClosedTalyzP
100%
Task Description

This bug, which I earlier posted for “Revolution”, occurs in 0.5 dev as well.


The live cd does not boot from a firewire dvd-recorder; at least not the one which came with my Acer Travelmate 3012wtmi.

Both Debian and Ubuntu boot with no problem at all (Debian used to have the same problem before, though) and in Gentoo, it works when the “doscsi” kernel argument is passed. I have not successfully booted Elive with this drive, however.

I don not think this will be a problem very hard to fix; it just needs to be detected ;).

I will try the latest Elive as well (downloading now) and report, but I don not expect it to work, since this bug is not mentioned on the “Fixed Bugs” list.

Task Description

APM is not being loaded during bootup. Even if acpi is disabled and apm is modprobe’d after boot, upon shutdown, the screen of the laptop will only blur and the laptop will not turn off. If you are in live mode, the cd will eject, but the laptop will not turn off. One note to keep in mind is that you cannot modprobe apm in version 0.5.1 as the OS complains about missing libraries.
