Elive

Xpdf is not a bad reader but I think they are very better pdf reader now:

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evince (mulitpe document viewer)

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPdf (but now Evince remplace it)

Perhaps an other??

Chosing keyboard layout diferent from english switches direktly to it. And loging becomes inposible. I think there should be some hot key for swutching between english and other kayboard layout.

Is not possible to erase a cdrw device since thunar automounts it directly and only has the “eject” option, maybe fix that in ivman ? (if cdrw, popup to ask if umount)

run this command from the live mode using CDROM (no usb): dmesg | grep -i error | grep “I/O” and please paste in the comments a block of ‘code’ mode the result

In Elive (cvs20060516) there is problems with cdripping. cdda2wav is not working, cdparanoia is painfully slow. (To rip 1 CD in elive takes 80 minutes on my old debian install on the same computer it took less then 10 min) Ubuntu-users has reported similar problems.

if you put a cd/dvd in system at boot, it does not mount until you open thunar and click on it.

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.

Which is annoying

Hi!

Can you please add this Driver of this Printer to Elive, it is a great Printer. The Link of the Driver is:

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031118.asp?model=

There is a simple instruction how to add this Driver and the Printer to Debian, but it did not work for me well, i had to start cups whenever i want to print out somthing, and under the superuser mode. This is the Link for it :

Thank you very much.

I tried to update my 3.8.12 64-bit beta installation with the 14 updates in “Software 3.30.6”. That fails.

[I do not appear to be able to upload an image file and hence cannot paste the screen snapshot I took.]

The message (in a semi-transparent overlay window) indicated:

Unable to download updates:
E: http://repo.buster.elive.elivecd.org buster/main amd64 smb-admin amd64 3.8.14+git43bbo34df-6buster1 is not (yet) available )Something wicked happened resolving ‘repo.buster.elive.elivecd.org:http’ (-5 - No address associated with hostname))

“OK” I said to myself, “I should be able to download the 3.8.14 64-bit beta ISO and re-install.” That I do not seem to be able to do without coughing up more money for the download.

hi, i’m using the asus eee-pc 900a and everytime i tried watching videos of any kind (flv, avi, ...), the player crashed. i tried totem, mplayer, vlc and so on, but it’s the same with all of them, also there was no bugreport, they where just closed after a second...can you help me?

My system has a TDK 48/14/48D USB CD-Burner, which I have used to burn all of my Linux distros, then subsequently boot and install from them in the same drive.

Not so with Elive 1.0 GEM! By the way, I checked the Checksum and it matched.

When I boot from this CD in this drive, I see two lines at the top of the screen:
Unknown keyword in the config file
Unknown keyword in the config file

Then I can select ‘English’ and ‘Default’, after which I can go no further than this screen:

Loading, please wait..... 
[: missing] 
[: missing] 
Unifing: base ls: /DSSCD/cdrom/xserver/: No such file or directory 
ls: /DSSCD/cdrom/deliver/: No such file or directory 
overall 
Something wrong with the image mounting 
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash) 
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands 
/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off 
(initramfs) 

....and nothing else happens :(

I have sent a copy of lsmod.txt to Thanatermesis

Thanks!

Once we set a user to Autologin (at installation or later using the user configurator) we can’t turn it off

Hello dear,
I can’t remove a application item context menu. The setup only add.

A lot of people will be switching over to Elive from a distrobution other than Elive (I, for example, am coming from debian). It would be nice to not have to format my /home partition to mount it as the /home in Elive (Gem). Thanks :)

Can’t login to system because I set Russian language.
I can’t switch to US input language.

xorg.conf:

XkbLayout "us"

US language must be use always as mandatory language.
Any another language must be added as next language.

xorg.conf:

XkbLayout  "us,ru(winkeys)"
XkbOptions "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"

tryed to create an account forthe forum.
Nick, password, email and the code was ok. But I never got the email for activate account.

Hi,
after installing 1.7.2, i create user and login. All works fine, but after some time i can run on application, enligthenment return an error code without output, and can’t log back with my user account, if i try entrance will come back after trying to login. Only root work.
After some reboots i can login back with my user.

I just installed Elive 3.0.3 yesterday. I’m using my WIFI connection without problem. I just updated with “apt-get update” and then tried to install “apt-get install gsmartcontrol”, but after key “s” as usual on any Debian based system, in console it shows “Err http://.... gsmartcontrol...i386.deb” ... “301 moved permanently”, so I can’t install the application. Is like it’s not on repositories.

Any idea to solve this?

when i start in livecd or installed mode i can’t get more than 800×600 in the graphics mode, tried:
graphical-configuration-suite changedriver trident
graphical-configuration-suite resolution 1024×768

but doesn’t work.
my xorg.conf is this: http://debian.pastebin.com/m4ae22372

my laptop is a Gateway solo 9100 with a Trident Microsystems Cyber 9397 who work in Elive 1.0

Brasero is unable to copy CDs. Once it is done reading the source CD, it says it cannot eject the CD and so ejecting it manually and putting in the destination CD doesn’t do anything because the operation has failed.

I even downloaded and installed the latest Beta 2.9.92 and the same thing? happened to me (Some of these are double clicks all left after the first one):
Right click on desktop→ Click on Settings tab at bottom right→Click on the Look button at top→Click on theme→Click on Basic theme[it has a checkmark next to it]→Click on Elive Light or Lucas since Dark is already chosen→Click Apply button

BOOM the bottom 20% of the dialog screen goes black and the mouse while movable can do nothing.
In less than a minute screen flashes and the “voice” says that “Elive desktop has initiated recovery”

BUT nothing has changed it’s still the Dark theme.

SOLUTION: Before clicking the theme you want to change to: Click on the Basic button in the bottom right→ Choose your theme to change to→Click the apply button.
The screen flashes again but this time the theme you chose is now the theme.

Tried to post on the forums but there are always WORDS not allowed by the forum tool.

I installed ELive on an old Acer laptop without problems. LIke it

But I tried to install it on a more recent laptop, my mane work laptop when on the road, a small HP Stream with a 32 Gig SSD drive to see if that slow laptop would go faster than with Ubuntu

The installation is having problem with my drive. (Partitioning / erase it)
It says something like the USB STick is listed as the 1st device, to reboot so the BIOS can adjust.

BTW I need to boot in safe mode with the Elive Stick, else ELive can’t initialize the GUI

SO If I reboot, go back to the install, the instal STOP with an error, " no details in the window”.. At the formatting drive stage...

How could I help you help me ?

Would Elive be faster than LUbuntu ?

JF
For now I still keep Ubuntu 18.04 on my main HP i7, 16 gig, SSD drive Workstation, want to test it more on my Laptop 1st...

In specified at installation time that I didn’t want to have bluetooth management modules installed / started.
At every session startup, a popup “Required dependency” (dépendance requise, in french) asks for, ether install bluez-utils OR unload bluetooth module.

Gateway 7422gx broadcom wi-fi makes system freeze. This driver is only able to be used in 64bit linux distros. Running this firmware on 32bit will cause a kernel freeze.

Proprietary drivers are stupid, buy linux compatible hardware.

0.6.5

will update with lspci info in a few minutes
