Elive

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

I booted Live Mode on a Lenovo 110s ideapad laptop using a USB created with Etcher. Everything seems to work well with the exception of my wireless network adapter, it’s not recognized: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Plus Bluetooth.

Hope you can make it work.

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

Unable to setup mode=AP in network config, there is no choose for hotspot in network applet, just ad-hoc and infrastructure.
Atheros driver is with master mode enabled, AP possible, but no luck.. Wired LAN with DHCP, wifi no sharing.

Greet you! I have some problem with grub of eLive. It cannot display other systems except for eLive. I have ElementaryOS Juno and Linuxt Mint 19.

Thanks,

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?

hi there

PLEASE be describable and clear. We need to understand the issue and being able to reproduce it.

By reporting the problem you also help every user in the world that can be affected too! :)

Thank you

any ideas ? thnx

Thank you

Hi Luis,

I added this issue in order to know what is the cause that the other options gives you a black screen

To install in failsafe mode could remove some features so if you are able to install it in normal mode it could be better, so let’s investigate the cause

The new disks health feature doens’t reports the correct values:

❯❯❯ cat /etc/elive/disks-health
disks_scanned=""
count_gshock="0"
count_sectors_reallocated="0"
count_sectors_pending="0"

Elive’s automatic configurator worked fine both in live mode (DVD) and post-install (initially). Elive Stable 3.0.6, Motherboard Asus PRIME X470-PRO, Ryzen 7 1700X, 16 Gb Corsair Vengeance RAM, Sound Blaster Audigy Rx (SB1550), Zotac nvidia 1040 Graphics (2 Gb). At first I thought it was because I changed from default Xsystem to Enlightenment. Booted tonight and no sound, only the nvidia graphics HDMI connection showing. When the system boots I see a terminal wording about “perfectr” unknown hardware which I assume is the Audigy Rx card. The only OS that appears to be stable with Sound Card is Feren OS, Makulu Lindoz 15 and Sparky Linux 5.7. Zorin 15 Beta which is based on Ubuntu 18.04 only works with ALSA - then I have to reinstall PulseAudio to listen to sound with streaming video from Web as ALSA can’t cope with it.

My laptop works regularly, however I receive a notification about excessive shaking while in use.

The message is correct but the title spells SHACKING so it does not make sense why one is correctly spelled but the other is not; there will be confusion, no doubt.

I put this on low priority because it is minor and does not prevent continuing one’s work. The notification disappears or fades based on the default duration.

PLEASE fix wired connection to auto using eth0. Yhis is critical issue for those on older computers. Both in newest beta and in stable. Every other distro does why not Elive??

Thank you

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…)

My first bug report, so let us start with an easy one !

I run Elive 3.8.2 Beta on a HP-Z620.
When I want to eject a USB stick, a notification pops up to say not to unplug the peripheral because it is busy (some data having to be written on it) and stays indefinitely.
No clue when/if I can pull out the stick safely …

My test machine :
HP-Z620, no nVME BIOS support (and no chance to ever have it)
480GB PCIe nVME module, no option ROM (not bootable without BIOS support)
2GB USB stick, plugged on mother board (glued inside computer)
Multiboot : Ubuntu 18 LTS + Elementary Hera + Trisquel Flidas

USB stick : /dev/sda 1.8GB
/dev/sda1 fat32 210MB boot,esp * EFI partition
/dev/sda2 ext4 410MB * UBUNTU boot partition
/dev/sda3 ext4 410MB * HERA boot partition
/dev/sda4 ext4 410MB * FLIDAS boot partition
/dev/sda5 ext4 410MB * spare boot partition

nVME module : /dev/nvme0n1 448GB
/dev/nvme0n1p1 ext4 60GB * UBUNTU root partition
/dev/nvme0n1p2 ext4 60GB * HERA root partition
/dev/nvme0n1p3 ext4 60GB * FLIDAS root partition
/dev/nvme0n1p4 ext4 60GB * spare root partition
/dev/nvme0n1p5 ext4 200GB * HOME partition, common

Trick : USB stick is bootable, holds the EFI and BOOT partition of each system.
Each boot partition contains all necessary drivers to acces the nVME root partition
to finish associated OS activation.
Trick : the single HOME partition is shared and used by all systems (one at a time, obviously), each system having different users names, no need to explain why !!!

So far, so good, everything working like a charm.
Then I decided to install Elive on the spare partitions to test it.

I installed Elive 3.8.2 Beta using option “my disk is already partioned”, selecting /dev/nvme0n1p4 for ROOT (with format), then adding /dev/sda1 for EFI (no formatting), /dev/sda5 for BOOT (with format) and at last /dev/nvme0n1p5 for HOME (definitely NO formatting).
I did not understood the last installation step where I had to specify the boot partition of my other system ??? Which one, I have 3 bootable OSes ?! So picked Hera at random.
Elive installation successfully finished, I reboot the computer. All installed OSes are visible in Grub, Elive is default and I let it start, works nice.

The killing.
I decide to check that all my other OSes still perform well.
I reboot and select Hera as it was the system specified during the last installation step.
It starts booting, I get the Elementary logo, but never ending. I try again and again but Hera does not boot anymore, OS is definitely dead !
Flidas and Ubuntu boot normally, but impossible to log in, no users exist anymore !
I boot a live stick to analyse the HOME partition and I see it has been renamed to Elive_home and no other user than Elive exists. It is like renaming the partition has lost all existing data or the partition has been re-formatted.

Please help.

I have just installed E16 64 bits on my Acer laptop, and when I close the lid, the whole system freezes and I have to do a forced shutdown to start it up again.
It does not go into hibernation, it only freezes. I have trouble starting the pc up after hibernation as well.

Thank you for an otherwise great and very pretty OS.

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.

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,

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
