Elive

NOT A BUG - Request for feature

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”.

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.

Regards!

There is any way to go back one or, maybe, several steps on the installation?... because I made a mistake and I couldn’t go back.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Can you please add this driver to Elive in the next version. I have this Sound card:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

It works under Elive, but i am not able to control it well :

Simple Example:

When i insert the Jack of the Mic the speakers of the Laptop keep on, whatever i did , then are all the time active.

When i try to mute the sound from Sound Mixer then i can not get sound through the MIC ( Both the Mic and the Speakers are muted ).

The next version of Mandriva solved this Problem. As i installed the Cooker version on my Laptop, i was able to control the sound correctly. You can have a look to there next version and fix this under Elive.

Thanks alot in advance,
FreeEagle

Please upgrade to the new enlightenment, this version is completely obsolete.

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.

Elive lacks a GUI for managing users and groups.

I think the default governor should be ondemand instead of performance. in this way the user won’t be scared of the full power fan always running

iceweasel shows some websites in memory when trying to write a website, it shouldnt have any sign of previous use. it would be also nice to have the fullscreen plugin available, on eeepc it works really nicely!

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.

Create a system of Shared folders using Samba

Made something nice to made working by default wacom devices in Elive

Upgraded to 1.9.10 and REAL NICE, saved all old data, even OZ themes with animated wallpaper that I had to configure previously.
I would like to recommend that the “profile name field” be filled in the network connector default such as “eliveuser” as the network does not work because the field is blank.
Upgrade did not remove Exalt from menu, just the icon.
I know you are working on network Icon so I won’t ask.
Beautiful, smoooth, upgrade!

It would be nice to add the files for playing m4a sound files:
i was able to play right after adding the two plugin files (.so) to the xmms plugin directory
i would suggest to avoid compilation and take the precompiled plugins

here is the source page http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/realisations/

The new kernel has fixed the broken headers issue according to debian buglist and to #debian.
I would suggest to switch asap to .26 and start providing headers as well

We have the need for a working net-connector as soon as possible in order to iron out all the bugs
I would suggest that LinuxNit does the packaging himself in order to provide always up to date packages, this package should be labeled net-connector-dev in order to prevent normal users to install if not willing.

1.9.10 elive with latest updates, can’t connect to a hex wep local wifi network, there is no option to choose hex key (only wep, wpa and none), the network is there, but the connection is not made due to password failure

wicd finds and connects to the same network without a problem

please add this module to elive, it works perfectly in ubuntu: only the 0.8.4 compiles correctly!

It would be nice if there was an option of “Automatically connect when in range of network” - like in for instance WiCD (or windows netmanager).

amsn in svn now supports audio conferencing as well as audio video calls.
also is very stable.
tested in ubuntulu

put a script for the after-suspend step that just call the daemon with a option to “refresh” or something like this

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.

In elive panel it would have to ask the root password only once, when somebody click on the “admin and system configurations” menu, and not every time when click on one of it’s submenu.
