Elive

more and more often when i open small windows such as pidgin or amsn e17 puts them on the border of the screen so that i can see only a tiny piece...
i have then to grab then and move to a better position.
I don’t know if is smth related to wrong settings but for sure i didn’t have this is gnome and it doesn’t look nice..

When in wizard module (first e17 start), if you click fastly to next you get wrong configurations, the Next button should be disabled until all the interface has finished to load and calculate what is needed (languages list generated, pages rendered, etc...)

A common case is to start e17 with the “Mobile” interface (even if default is computer)

on the menu when you want to uninstall an app right click with a drop down and uninstall

If the connection manager module is enabled, it states that it needs econnman to work and please download it.
It would be useful if econnman was in the repository and would make getting online a tad easier methinks.

No wifi drivers for eeepc 1008ha.
The driver can be found for ubuntu 9.04.
Cheers.

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf

+BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 3"
+LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15"
+BRIGHTNESS-OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness"

this is the most up to date and correct link to be set up in laptop-mode tools.

Hotkeys doesn’t correctly disable and enable the wifi adaptor.

There are a few problems which prevent 1.8.2 to work flawlessly in eeepc:

Fn-f2 doesn’t work at all, i tested puppylinux and there is working perfectly, they found there is a particular way of modprobbing and rmmodding modules in order for it to work, they have made available a pet package, which is not else than a compressed tar.gz with all the stuff needed, might be nice to give a look to it: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1394464815&t=31947

on the same, the wireless driver is extremely buggy, it shows every wireless hotspot as protected (even if they are open) and with minimal signal, and shows many troubles in connecting...again in puppylinux it worked perfectly, showing correct power, they use a patched madwifi driver, like eeedebian does, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1394464815&t=31947

fn-volume keys have no effect, probably the script is not implemented yet, the scripts for puppy do it fine, you could shortcut by giving a look at their work.

I would suggest to run locale purge after installing on eeepc in order to save space, i recovered 200mb with it.

At the moment is almost not usable because the buggy wireless driver, is too hard to connect to hotspots.

if i try to shutdown and after issuing the shutdown close the lid,
the eeepc goes into sleep instead.
It should be made to disable the sleep when the shutdown has been issued.

this package should be installed in the final system

See diff for /etc/init.d/eeepc-elive-scripts:

#diff eeepc-elive-scripts.old eeepc-elive-scripts
23c23
< echo -n 1 » /proc/acpi/asus/camera 2>/dev/null
—

echo -n 1 » /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera 2>/dev/null

Reason: 2.6.26 and later kernel has moved /proc/acpi/asus to /sys/devices/platform/eeepc

I will check also other scripts, volume, brightness, etc...

very simply:
EEEPC mute hotkey is not configured

According to the ppl in #eeepc the cpu of the eeepc4g doesn’t support speedstep and they advised me to disable p4-clockmod since can cause unstability.
I found also on wiki.eeeuser.com that the default clock of the eeepc is 630mhz and is not possible to change it in any way (but there is an experimental linux kernel module to bring up to 900mhz the clock, at a cost of unstability).
this needs investigation, if its true, then it should be advisable to remove the modules from the eeepc special install...
w/o p4-clockmod my system seems very responsive while on battery, and the duration of the battery seems unchanged: 2.50h.
I suggest to make some test with the eeepc, i am doing the same.

EEEpc701:can’t change any options in the installer:
i choose ext3 partition, no bluetooth, but after reboot i got a reiserFS partition and all packages.

The eap file of Elitaire is wrong. The executable “Elitaire”, must be “elitaire”

In “games” section many included games are not listed for the Elive menu. Such games as elitare as well as others are not listed.

This occurs in latest development version and beyond

**CD/DVD image is valid. Tried diffent brands of CD/DVD still doesn't work.

My system is an IBM Lenovo Intel Core Duo CPU @2.33GHz with 2GB of ram.

When attempting to install elive 1.0 gem I get the below error. 

Loading, please wait.....

There are a few minor stuff in elive 1.8.4:

• the cpufreq module is not working correctly and gives error

• exalt doesn’t work properly (but is well known)

• trackpad configuration is almost perfect but still some strange behaviour when trying to tap

• on resume from suspend wicd sometimes behaves crappy

• logging should be disabled, all the logging daemons should be disabled in order to extend ssd life

• there are quite a few daemons which could be disabled

• menu ghost applications are still there as well as thunar umount strangerness (well known)

great release, almost 100% works!

Write here a informational but simple description

Hello
noticed some small bugs:

1) the dpms config in laptop mode is uncorrectly linked..so it won’t change the screen brightness when going from battery mode to AC mode..easy to fix

2) thunar works fine, but opens 2 instances when installing an usb device..needs to be addressed...

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.

On the latest Elive testing ISO (1.9.24), the system fails to boot since it can’t detect the base system. Debian Lenny also does the same thing.

I asked on the Debian IRC and apparently there is no support for my cd drive in the 2.6.26 kernel. I’d like this added so I can boot elive. might as well just update to a newer kernel if you ask me (but that’s not my place).

Elive Gem works fine. If you want I can provide additional information.

Hello,

I upgraded my system to 3.0.4 and after that, while I’m working, very often, session end and GUI restart into log screen (usually I logged in automatically, because I’m the only user of my computer).

It’s a critical problem to me because I lost almost all work in LibreOffice even if I try to save my documents very often.

Even while I was writing this bug report my system crashed again. I’ll try to reinstall 3.0.4 or even returns to 3.0.3 version.

Hoping this bug will be solved.

Best regards.

It mentions Xeon but I promise, its a Haswell I’m sure you will need more logs to track the issue. Just let me know where to find them (Ctrl-Alt-F2) gives me a prompt.

Hi there,

I wated yesterday to watch the World Trade Center Movie by using my Elive the development Version, the DVD Luncher works, but neither Mplayer nor Gxine could start the DVD, it can’t read the DVD, always give faults.In the gxine it gives ( Null ) when i brows to the DVD instead of showing its name.
