Elive

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

Some application which are not installed show anyway in elive menu: blender, cinelerra and a few others.
Clicking on them results in an error.

Bad key or directory name: “/apps/gnome-alsamixer/display_mixers/”: Key/directory may not end with a slash (/)
Bad key or directory name: “/apps/gnome-alsamixer/display_names/”: Key/directory may not end with a slash (/)

/apps does not exist.

1. There are several windows in the installation of Elive GEM that has a “generic” name on the top. And would be really better if we could write a correct description. Examples:

• Many windows has “SELECTS ITEMS FROM THE LIST”. That’s a generic name and it doesn’t reveal the content of the window when you press alt+tab. For example in: “Select partitioning method”, “Choose partition”, “Choose filesystem”.

This is particulary annoying when you are doing other things while installing. For example I had many windows opened and I didn’t noticed that “SELECTS ITEMS FROM THE LIST” was the “Select partitioning mehotd”.

Marvell Technology Yukon 88E8058, apple iMac 20” driver non-existent in gem. Development Livecd has the driver, but no installer.

Users are requesting a updated gem with newer and mac-compatible drivers.

This driver is reported in being in current kernels, have not tested it though.

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.

installing unofficial packages is a very bad practice, it can broke the system. We need to notice the user with a popup in gdebi about this issue.

gdebi doesn’t install anything in 1.7.7 every package ends as a failed install just at the “database reading” 1st step.
Purging gdebi and reinstalling doesn’t fix this.
dpkg works fine

Seems gdebi is still b0rked, i suggest removing it from the final release.

hello,
well, i talk in other post of random crashed, well i think i have found wwhy!

i think he is gadjet, who crashed elive, and we have a segdev windows, and impossible , to connect on my desktop!!

Bonjour,

je parle dans un autre post de crash aléatoire, je pense avoir toruvé ce qui cause ces crash,
je pense au gadjet, car sa m’arrive aprés avoir lancé le gadget du son
voila j’espére avoir une réponse

Getting close to release, can you take down the current forums? I cannot suggest the disto to people , the first thing they do is go to the forum, and its mostly spam, not a lot of real content there. the main page is great, but the forums are a big let down to people I think. you need a nice new forum with the web page theme :~)

setings are saying use yahoo, but i found http://www.weather.com/ codes from url do a trick, they work

yahoo already uses something different, so no use from new url code:

as example, Kaunas - Lithuania: at
http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/LHXX0002?lswe=kaunas&from=searchbox_localwx

i took from it “LHXX0002” and thats exactly what i needet ;]

Looks like not all the fonts for special languages are installed by default (see google translator for chinese or japanese, or see also to configure hte language with langconf (characters not readable for some languages)), langconf should show ALL the caracters because i have made it one by one and i have read all of them

Could be need to try to install manually some font packages and see which ones are remaining, but WARNING, some fonts packages takes a LOT of space in hard disk and the size of the ISO is pretty limited, install just the ones that are needed, not waste space of the limited ISO size standard

Note: is possible that could be need to restart X after to install a font. Use the livecd mode better

If I insert a floppy in my floppy drive (normal desktop system), it will be not mounted, respectevely is not visible in Thunar. I have seen in Hal-Device-Manager, the floppy is available, but the value of the block device is /dev/fd0. But I have no /dev/fd0.

<Thanatermesis>
Please, take care of this request. I don’t have a floppy disc in order to confirm the request. However on the Elive (Expert) installation there is a question about the automounter.
Wait for the user’s answer and please take a look to it.

The actual version of flash 10.0.12.36-elive1 is unstable, firefox crashes (like in badoo.com), for the stable version of Elive we need to use a newest (stable) version or go back to a backup

Hi !

in GEM 1.0 the stable version, i have this Problem. It started as i did the update.

I can not get the full screen mode when i play any video clip in youtube . I get just a small window in the left corner of my Screen, and the normal screen of youtube keeps running.

Hello, I tried to play with flash player to install it in chrome, found some solutin with dynamic link of libraries, but it worked only in terminal admin su manual run of chrome.. After “tweaking” I’m not able to run flash in opera, iceweasel also :( The report is something like:
ERROR: .... adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so : /usr/local/lib/libnss3.so : version “NSS_3.11” not found (required by /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so)

the same with native_library_linux.cc

I know I’ve upgraded somewhere something and I think it did the installer of flash directly from adobe, but what now?
Thank U

With 3D OFF youtube even on full screen is OK, with HW compiz/openGL ON, it lags..

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

By some reason the first boot doesn’t allows the user to suspend/hiberante, what is the cause?

* debug pm-suspend
* try with e23 first boot
* try with reboot after post-install of eliveinstaller

Assign some default applications for the firefox files (like .deb downloaded files, .edj, etc)

Firefox 3.5 isn’t available yet!!

When installing on a HP Pavilion dv6000, sl-modem-daemon (and sl-modem-modules-KERNEL) gets installed, and they mess up the fine tune process.

Sometimes it just freezes and goes no further but sometimes it produces a kernel oops.

I’ve removed the sl-modem-daemon and modules since I have no use for it (and I cannot turn off the modem in the bios of the laptop).
And now the fine tune just completed.

(a newcomer might not realize what to do to make it work and then give up on the installation)

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,
