some error messages when you run smb-usershare are shown in the terminal, but not graphically, this can be a problem when the user is running the application from graphical mode only (menu applications launchers).

In my case, just repackaging it for the new version i found these messages:

Lacking to install the “samba” package:

net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No existe el fichero o el directorio
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smb-usershare", line 580, in <module>
    gui.msgbox(START_MSG)
TypeError: msgbox() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

Lacking to add the user to “samba” (sudo adduser me sambashare), i comment the exact parameter because maybe is a good idea to request the root password via “gksu” tool to do it for the user

net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permiso denegado
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.

Chromium complains about outdated flash version, like in www.electroswing-radio.com , there’s some bugs reported in debian (bts show chromium), so we need to wait the release of debian first to see what happens with this

If you put the laptop to suspend, when you put it back you cannot browse shared folders, this happens on my acer-aspire-one laptop in live mode at least

Maybe there’s a post-suspend hook/script that needs to be added for reload sambasomething ?

Try to reproduce:

- /etc/default/keyboard is set to “es” - configure E to use US instead
- when you restart e17 is set back to ES

Note: use a new elive install, which sets correctly all those things

There’s multiple packages on gimp for edit raw files, we need to know which one to include (betatesting)

I received these messages on IRC thanks to elmo40, but it doesn’t happens to me as you can see on this screenshot:

https://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-549198d97b8fe3.16604264.jpg

Still having the problem ? How I can reproduce it ?

<elmo40> Thanatermesis: did you get the message ?
<elmo40> AlexAnt couldn't read his existing ext4 partition while trying the latest live image.
<elmo40> (2:37:54 PM) AlexAnteMachina: ext4 is an unknown filesystem to elive??? really???
<elmo40> (2:51:41 PM) AlexAnteMachina: thunar rejects to access my hdd
<Thanatermesis> elmo40, thx, ill check that

after creating the bootable usb with the elive tool the img isn’t trusted and therefor can’t be installed or upgrade systems

set-up:
Hardware:
azerty Belgian period keyboard

settings:
Language setting: English
keyboard setting: Belgium

On this type of keyboard if you need numbers you have to use shift. This works but when using caps lock it doensn’t tis only effect the numbers and special chars. not for the normal letters there it works fine as it should.

This is tested on 2 laptops and both have the same problem so it isn’t a hardware problem.

The new multiple screens betatesting is ready to be used, this task will be to better track all that is needed to betatest:

How to use it: Everything should be automated, so just upgrade your system with the command “apug” and restart to a new desktop configuration (from elive menus), which is important too. It should detect that you have multiple screens and ask you to configure them, or use an existing configuration, etc in contrary case you still have the configurator available (only one now, which is an elive tool)

Things to betatest: This is the list:

1. all the options and behaviours (what if select no, yes, save, not save, remove, etc), this is more or less already betatested by me
2. try to disconnect the extra screen, reboot computer, your desktop should be equally functional (and I assume not asking/saying anything about)
3. poweroff again the computer, connect again the extra screen, it should remember that configuration for your second screen and going back to these settings (without asking anything, i assume)
4. there’s some games that changes your screen resolution (in order to play in fullscreen), if the game exits with an error your desktop is messed up (desktop running in a strange resolution), the normal behaviour is to return to the correct resolution when the game exits correctly, but i dont know if this happens or even if goes to the correct multiscreen mode. Also: a reboot should perfectly return to the normal behaviour
5. maybe already said before, but switching between “using and not using” the external screen should be not a painful experience (and/or with reboots), it should be “work on the fly”
6. ecomorph (special effects) should work correctly, except for the “exposé effect” which doesn’t seems to like it so much (confused numbers of desktops, etc, not sure if this one works better after the full implementation)
7. detail: technically speaking, there’s two launching of the “load screen settings”, one happens before the desktop is loaded and the other when the desktop has started to load... in other words: if there’s a widget/question that asks for anything it should always happen when you already have access to the window controls (including window borders for example)
8. since i found a strange behavior with the “automated fonts sizing calculation” feature, i include this betatest point: test if the font sizes are not reconfigured “smaller than normal”
9. we have hotkeys to switch between virtual desktops, do we have a setup for between screens? i just tried to configure a new keyboard hotkey (ctrl + alt + shift + arrows) for switch to another screen 0/1 but doesn’t looks like to work on virtualbox... will need to do test in a real machine (and implement the hotkey in the default configuration)

Notes: if any of these betatests are not working as expected, please include the details of the “steps” about how to reproduce it, and the exact (first words) of the “conflicting” message found

• Install the system in Language A
• New desktop configuration, selecting language B
• Re-login in destkop, directory names wants to be renamed (not!!)

This is due to some gnome xdg pre-desktop launcher that knows the language of the system but not the one that we have selected in the desktop

Notes:

• Brainstorming: on which cases we should want to have the directories renamed? only from elive-topaz (statically english) maybe

I booted today and I can only see the mouse on my 2 screen.

I can go into console mode to reboot, but at reboot, same scenario. 2 BLack screen, only see the mouse

Weird that it happen suddenly, I had to reboot in Elive yesterday 2 or 3 times without having that problem.

What are your recommendations to avoid reinstalling ?

Cause: ecomorph
TODO: do not allow ecomorph at emodule level (loading module)

JF

In my old nettop ‘Acer aspire one’, the inserted SD memory card of my photo camera doesn’t shows in emodule-places unless “only ermovable devices” option is unset

Seems like we need to specify these values in cases that it is one of these cards, but in any case is needed to debug the output to see what it looks like

hi there,
trying to get screen lock to work but dont look like happening
i click on window + L button locked the screen but when i entered my pass to unlock just waited waited and nothing happened stayed on that .. had to had reboot.

any ideas ? thnx

Thank you

Hi Luis,

I added this issue in order to know what is the cause that the other options gives you a black screen

To install in failsafe mode could remove some features so if you are able to install it in normal mode it could be better, so let’s investigate the cause

The new disks health feature doens’t reports the correct values:

❯❯❯ cat /etc/elive/disks-health
disks_scanned=""
count_gshock="0"
count_sectors_reallocated="0"
count_sectors_pending="0"

Installing 3.8.2 beta as permanent on a PNY 32 GB USB key plugged in a dell Latitude 630, everything went fine except the following : every choices on packages to be kept on disk (themes, softwares…) were discarded, resulting in a minimal install (2 themes, 1 language…)

Hola! Tengo tres problemas:

1- Al cerrar sesión el sistema se bloquea.

2- Cuando pongo el equipo en suspensión o le doy a hibernar, me ocurre que al volver al escritorio Internet no funciona y si reinicio todo vuelve a la normalidad, esto ya me pasaba con el sistema estable.

3- Cuando intento actualizar no me deja y todo es darle al botón pero ahí se queda sin poder actualizar.

P. D. - Por lo demás todo perfecto.

Un saludo!

Hello,

I got this error message while using elive-health from command line :

find: paths must precede expression: `/home/jack/.local/share/Trash'
find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-type'?

I found out that a ‘find’ command at line 100 of this script was incorrectly formatted, it showed :

find -type f "$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -delete

where it should be :

find "$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -type f -delete

So it prevents removal of Trash content.

Patch available, just ask!

Regards,

When I open software center I get a error warning say (something went wrong sorry). And also when theres updates the same software center says (Failed to install file: not supported). Not a programmer so hope someone can figure what is going on I noticed there is a newer version of gnome software center available but I don,t know how to install manually. Wish it could be in the software center repository somehow.

net-configurator works good, but it should put default netmasks when an ip is entered. unfortunately i was unable to lease an ip from my ap using dhcp, either via exalt either via net-configurator.

I think the default governor should be ondemand instead of performance. in this way the user won’t be scared of the full power fan always running

iceweasel shows some websites in memory when trying to write a website, it shouldnt have any sign of previous use. it would be also nice to have the fullscreen plugin available, on eeepc it works really nicely!
