Elive

version: 9 b9 elivemac
When the keyboard layout is changed from the elive panel, it is not changed on ttys. The layout is changed in X but the keyboard is always qwerty on ttys.

Keyboard layout problem.
Found on Elive 1.9.30 When Elive installed on russian (at least & seems the same when change system language from elpanel). The problem appear after loggin in.
It is in xorg.conf

	Option "XkbLayout" "ru,us(winkeys)"

Correct is

	Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"

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)

Hello, first of all this is such a great distro. I will keep donating~

I just have one problem that is i cannot use the korean keyboard. Even though i have set the input to the korean keyboard nothing happens.

I have tried to install ibus etc. but nothing seems to work. Please help me.

In the file manager ( Date), Time Gadget, the english language doest not apply properly

I mean, example in THunar, the Date modified column is in a language I don’t understand even if I choosed english when installing

I tried other English ( canada, USA) same problem

BTW when I change the language, my desktop Application bar is move to the wrong monitor ( not the primary anymore)

JF
Same thing for the Clock Gadget, Calendar of that gadget, wrong language

If unetbootin is selected, there’s no a language set, if is the case, popup a dialog asking for a language

What does if you dont press anything in the boot menu ? (maybe keyboard not working?), is the variable set to english or to nothing ? (Note: there’s a part in the boot that sets english if there’s not anything set)

With ELive 1.9.20 and on my Acer Aspire One I cannot boot up into X when on battery.

The boot is taking EXTREMELY long time and when it finally does something I get a console login.
Upon login it complains that all FS are readonly and hence fails to create the proper locks for X to startup.

I’ve installed version 1.9.16 and when I try to make the laptop enter Hibernation then it goes through the steps and ends up with a black console with a cursor blinking - and then it wakes up immediately and plays the sound “elive has been restored”.

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
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.

Could be nice if we have an e17 module to limit the windows to be in the screen limits, instead to pass over it. This is a useful feature for non-experienced users.

Note: this report has somewhere (i dont remember where) a list of features needed, like which options to have on it (like: limit the windows to be in-screen, limit the windows to be not entirely out of the screen, allow the window to be partially out, etc etc), is needed to check this list first (in hackers or in dev ? i dont remember right now)

Useful code: iirk module

Hi!

Please install either this Programme or any other similar one.

Mouse and wifi (Intel® Dual-Band Wireless-AC 8265?) not being detected (in live move) on Dell Latitude 7480 i7
a usb mouse plugged into the laptop is a work around.

The startup menus (keyboard settings etc) are not usable with just the keyboard, you need a mouse at this stage to start the distro

Livecd crashes randomly several times, if a crash occurs during upgrade of the system, all the upgrade process is lost and it works as a clean install on next reboot.
I have been unable to test the upgrade feature since eeepc has crashed 4-4 times during the upgrade of the system, thus losing all data of users and password.

I installed 1.9.21.
Installation worked fine. But after reboot I could not login again.
The login-screen appears and works well untill the system tries to start the “Desktop” But the Desktop does not appear, instead of the Login-Screen appears again and again and again and....

I also tried a login-console and login worked fine! But the bash did not “know” the command “entranced”.

at the login : the password given for the user is not accepted

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…)

Install using LVM gives the error message: “/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol06 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!”

Created 11 lvm logical volumes thru Sabayon 5 install with LogVol06 as spare partition of 10.gb. Tried to select LogVol06 as / and got the above error message. Tried twice with ext4 and ext3.

Hp desktop, Amd x2, 3gb ram. Elive 1.9.51, Separate /boot partition of 10 gb. Logical volumes /home /usr /opt /var /tmp.

Hope this can get resolved , Love Elive. Best wishes Murray

I tried to install LXDE and to start it tru entrance.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work, every time i try to start LXDE entrance reboots..
thus is impossible to use LXDE.

2007, 2.14Ghz Macbook (white) does not connect to wep hex network on the livecd.
LSPCI:

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros COmmunications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

net-connector simply tries to connect then stops trying.
iwconfig essid name key yeahitshere gives the following error:
Error for wireless request “Set Encode” (8B2A): SET failed on device ath0 ; Operation not supported.

On a laptop Lenovo ideapad 100S, I cannot install Elive on disk because the main hard drive (SSD) is not detected. Once booted in live mode, the list of detected drives showed by the Elive installer is empty. I also started Gparted which did not see my hard drive, only the USB stick.

I’m opening this bug but I will not be able to follow the resolution since I will not have access to this laptop anymore. It is just in case you can find the solution without my further help and inputs.

Thank you !

Sorry for using this url to report suggestion. I don’t like the forum tool

1) Trial : I know you want to live from Elive, but making it difficult to try it, with so many distros on the market, does it help you ? Just brainstorming, I am not sure neither. Exemple I signed as a patreon to give Elive " little amount” of money monthly, but I still have to wait 24 hours to try the last version ( as a patreon).

I asked to try the last version and the link I received is is not that simple, I clicked it and click USB and still endup on the page where I need to enter my email to get the trial in 24 hours... I am sure may have missed something but other will to... Wouldn’t be better to make it simple to try and cross your finger people will pay ( Patreon ) to support your “amazing” product ?

2) Everything is about perception : may be I would use more modern / good looking forum &tools for support (I know, money is needed to use tools as discourse [www.discourse.org] ) ? real techies won’t care about the support tools you use but may be other yes...

JF
Can’t wait to try last version !

Eltrans was the easiest way to get big parts of the os translated for free. It needs to go live again, so what is the problem that prevents it from working? Is there any way we could write a new version of it so you do not need to waste your time? In that case, what are your requiremetns and what kind of interface should we give it so that it can just be put in place of the older one?

I use the USB image on a dual boot laptop.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think the install software is a shell script using a lot of dialog boxes.
It’s powerful, cute and original at this time where all others use the same software installer. Unfortunately it’s weak in ergonomy.

First blocking is about (non-)payment procedure. Use accounts, serial numbers, etc. Whatever but it’s not clear about those who wants to pay, those who already paid and those who won’t pay. Closing the web browser frame is not obvious.

Second is when I want to keep some partitions. Help looks like a choice. choice is always automatic when I want to keep control, etc. writing on my partitions is always frightening and the script is not very reassuring.

Last is hardware support and software options : no way to go back.

Just my $0.02, have a nice day.

I have elive installed but it is flawed. I cannot use any of the current tools to connect using my DELL 6440 laptop’s wifi card.

I notice that Bodhi can use the same hardware and connect to wifi with no problem.

They implement GNOME keyring-GNOME network manager GNOME-pcs11 econnman bundle that makes this wireless solution work out-of-the-box. I would like to install them on my elive but using synaptic a lot of the installed software would have to be removed first.

I would make a donation to promote Elive 3 but I have been using a wired connection with elive because internet manager complains about something missing and it is less than ideal to use if I have to use a wired ethernet cable all the time, with my laptop.
