Elive

When trying to build an eap the icon selector confuses and piles the folders randomly, so that is hard to browse for icons: most folders are hidden by other ones..
moreover selecting an icon is possible only with double click and that opens gimp.

It would be also nice to have a small gui for ndiswrapper, an ncurses one would be nice, so that user can find the inf file and install comfortably from a gui.

Buenas noches, este bug es significativo desde e punto de vista de un usuario de nivel administrador pero a nivel de usuario no administrador es importante.
Empecemos, el administrador instala una impresora usb al pc portátil etc y la programa y la deja lista para que el usuario la use, aquí es cuando esta este pequeño fallo cuando el usuario sin conocimiento de la clave de root quiere imprimir algo enciende la impreso ya previamente instalada y sorpresa salta la autoconfiguracion de la impresora ya instalada pidiendo de nuevo la clave root que no sabe el usuario, el usuario puede imprimir lo que quiera pero se le quedara la dichosa ventana e incomoda de pedir la clave de root que el no posee.
La question:
Si ya tenemos una impresora instalada cuando esa dicha impresora la conectamos de nuevo porque salta la autoconfiguracion?

Maybe not for the 2.0 but for the 3.0 !!!

Sometime the installer request the user to make a choice: for example, do u want to upgrade the system? Yes Cancel..
Cancel should be NO!

I tried the live version. There is a link to ‘set up the repositories’ and I noticed it was failing to find a few websites. The process takes a while to complete, and that is why I bothered to look at what the delay was all about. I will attempt it again to see if a 24-hour interval will make a difference.

Used LiveCd for 1.7.7 dev.,but numerous problems. One no support for English (US), just UK, even though Portugal and Brazil get their own language settings. Also, when I tried to load the graphical system, I get the error (EE) no devices detected. Also, the CD did not detect my wireless card, Cisco MPI350, and forced me to use the Ndiswrapper option. Nice music though.

Even if i deselect the “show label” button a name of the icon is always shown with init-ng.

The installer failed to detect (and install on) /dev/sdc2. It is a 16G USB thumb drive total, with two partitions. I wanted to install elive on the second partition, but this error came up:

We found something that we want to be informed about its details, it may be a problem in Elive or a simple state that we want to know, since it happened to you it can happen to anybody and we want to make Elive as much stable as possible, please take 1 minute to report this message to our developers:

Thank you

If you try to install on existing partition, there’s little in your install GUI to identify the partition you are attempting to install to. In my case hdb1 hdb4 hdb5 were what was listed, with no specific info about any. I had two windows 2000 fat32 partitions, c: and d: and two linux partitions, a swap, and the main EXT3 partition to which Mepis was installed. as I installed, I reasoned that d: would be the middle, thus hdb4, but something made me retrace my steps. I quit the install and started again. I opened gparted this time, My mepis partition was hdb5! I would have overwritten 30 gig of data had I used hdb4! I can usually recognize the partition if a size is given, or even better, if the format type (fat 32 or linux swap or EXT2, or EXT3 or reiserfs or whatever...) I felt left in the dark at this stage, I caught my error, but not by much... If there’s a way to add this info to the installer it would greatly help people like me...

This is a bit confusing. When you are installing Elive on a disk that has already partitioned, it could be nice if we can show the “partition type” and “partition size” in order to identify where Elive will be installed.
It’s not a bug, but it’s still opened as a “feature request” </Thanatermesis>

During my install of Elive from the development live cd, the text box came first, then the choice box came under it, hidden. I may have clicked the text box as the choice came up, causing this trouble. When nothing seemed to happen, I moved the box to find the choices underneath. Possible confusion, If the choice comes out beside and visible, no more trouble...

Recieved the below error when attempting to install Elive 1.0. I Have verified that the .iso image file I burned onto CD is valid.

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

Whenever i want to install Elive, i have to install a certain Module in order to be able to install Elive on my Hard disk. Is there any Solution for this Problem????

And if i do not have any Internet connection because of the Bug in ADSL and PPPOE Configuration, then there is no any Chance to install Elive on my HDD.

This could be not considered even a “feature request” because is my own desire.

During the installation of Elive, sometimes you have to wait several minutes between installation steps. During this minutes I have tempted to do some other things (in fact I was using the IRC).

But I had a problem with my installation because an installation window suddenly raised to focus and I pressed “space” (because I’m writting on the IRC) and, obviously the installation window assumed that I’ve pressed some button on its screen.

The fact is that maybe installation windows doesn’t have to raise to focus or maybe, no keyboard shortcuts would be available on those screens.

i tried to install cxoffice, and the installation goes fine, however no menu entry is created, even if everything works fine.
this happens with many programs and it is a pity

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

Looks like grub is not installed correctly on the MBR, in a clean hard disk, automatic+easy mode install, (automatic grub install), elive 1.9.14

When installing elive 1.9.39 from the live cd creating a boot partition, the installer stops with an error stating that there is not enough free space on the hd.
i used a 60gb hd entirely dedicated to elive.
40 mb /boot (reiserfs)
3.5 gb / (reiserfs)
56.5 gb /home (xfs)

any thoughts?

Installer hangs on ‘rmmod floppy’, after selecting gparted as the partioner

Floppy drive is not connected

3997 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /bin/bash /usr/sbin/eliveinstaller
4063 ? D 0:00 \_ rmmod floppy

installer updated on 20070602

.6.6 Installer Issue - Floppy module hangs gparted weather floppy drive exists or not.

Many users are stuck with gparted trying to get drive information. They must close gparted and installer. Type su <enter>, rmmod floppy <enter> , then start installer again.

May not be elive-specific problem but does hang some people installing.

I have established elive_2.0_Topaz_old-kernel_up001.iso. There is no 3D, a problem with a kernel. At me ATI xpress 200. Therefore I wished to establish elive_1.9.42-compiz_unstable.iso, but the installer-module.cod has appeared not true. I have bought it 16 Martha of 2010 for 15€ at Elive download@elivecd.org. To me it is necessary correct installer-module.cod for elive_1.9.42-compiz_unstable.

Installer modules are not made to work with these versions of Elive, do you have tried the version “new kernel” (of topaz) ?
Is not this problem actually fixed ? (i think that i have replied some email lke this one)

Installer Module, Artikelnr.62e2edfcb does not approach for elive_1.9.42-compiz_unstable. The fitter asks the correct module...

yesterday 13march ipaid for the installer module,but when it started to erase my hd it freezes,so i had to restart the procedure,it wanted the installer module,so i paid again. the same incident occured.so now i have 2 problem =(1)=i was unable to find where to email for my money back.or (2) how to get the installer without paying again. please tell me what to do. i was installing topaz.

Ubuntu doesn’t set any password to root by default, this is a very good idea (ironic), so that the migration mode of the installer works perfectly but when the user want to do anything with root... can’t do anything, cant login, nothing... since there’s no password

Add a verifier of root passwords in the migration/upgrade mode so that will request it if is empty

I will need a sample line of the root file / etc/shadow in order to know how to detect it

Installing Crossover Linux (both Pro and Games) from CodeWeavers causes either enlightenment or Xorg to hang or crash.

When the install is finishing up Xorg/enlightenment freezes, mouse can be moved, but nothing happens - and I am unable to change to another desktop using CTRL + ALT + arrow key

The same thing happens when trying to install applications or managing bottles. Though sometimes I get an error message that enlightenment has SEGV’ed with the options to Recover or Quit.

I think it might be when Crossover tries to generate menu links for the application, but I am not entirely sure.

I am sorry to say that this used to work under Ubuntu/enlightenment.

You can download a trial of Crossover Games here:

(This is important for gamers - hence the severity)
