Elive

In network manager (gnome one,default in Elive)
If I choose from pre-defined location setting (I have made by myself months before) network-manager switch but closes with error report.

If I switch from active network eth0 from static IP to dynamic IP, nothing is changed until I deactive network and active it again.

If I deactive eth0 (it disapper in the default network connection used), again active it with another setting,close down manager, again open manager, there is still NO default network used-no connection.

Mounted devices after unmounting still let their directory in /media/
visible and not been deleted.

After downloading .bin file (targed linux executable)
There is no signature for RUN the file.Must go to terminal and:
chmod +x file.bin logged as root. Better to do this automatically..

After installing OpenOffice (the ones for reading XLS and DOC already incuded in live CD are MUCH faster,but does not know everything :( )
there is wrong association with DOC in Thunar - associate with packing program is not what I expect from DOC file..

[polish] - ntfs directories which has polish national signs in their names are not visible after ntfs is mounted

The system freeze when configure in the menu panel the key binding settings.

When trying to build an eap the icon selector confuses and piles the folders randomly, so that is hard to browse for icons: most folders are hidden by other ones..
moreover selecting an icon is possible only with double click and that opens gimp.

I installed the num lock package for having num lock enabled in x sessions, however every time i reboot there is no num lock in my elive.

Hi

I have elive Rev rl2 on my IBM thinkpad and for some reason when I try to boot I end up with a black screen or a blackscreen with a non-flashing comand promt just as the entrance logon screen is about to load as though the system has crashed at this point. It didn’t happen when I first installed elive but then when I tried to boot a second time after installation it happened. I thought maybe it was something I did and tried to reinstall but this time it took about 10 restarts before even the eliveCD would boot entrance properly in live mode. Anyway I reinstalled it seemed to work for a while and then again just now, entrance would not boot properly again even in recovery mode. I finally got it up again after repeatedly turning the laptop off and on again.

When entrance loads elive 0.6+ rl2 works perfectly, (such a perfect lil distro my battery even lasts 3-4hr twice that that with any other OS) it just this issue with entrance not being booted properly that’s the problem.

Is there something I have to change in the monitor setup, i.e. frequency? how do I do this in recovery mode comand line?

Thank

I found out that if i browse with thunar then i launch mplayer for example to play a movie, it crashes if i close thunar window.
i tried the same with oxine but it doesn’t.

I’m absolutely unable to switch SMTP even I have two/three, thunderbird always takes the first one in que.Installing plugin with SMTP switch button does not solve anything..

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

During booting the system hangs and I have to unmount the battery to turn the thinkpad off. It works perfectly on my pc.
the last messages during booting:
Ramdisk: compressed image found at block 0

invalid compressed format (err=1)
no filesystem could mount root, tried: cramfs
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (1,0)

.6.6 Installer Issue - Floppy module hangs gparted weather floppy drive exists or not.

Many users are stuck with gparted trying to get drive information. They must close gparted and installer. Type su <enter>, rmmod floppy <enter> , then start installer again.

May not be elive-specific problem but does hang some people installing.

CPU plugin works,but if X desktop is in dualhead version, it shows the right info only on one of them,on the other there is something between 1-2% of CPU consuptation (left number).And the measuring looks like this:80% / 0% Zero is on both screens(right number).What does meen the next number - 0 ? CPU is Intel Pentium IV 1.8ghz

After the update via Synaptic, Opera does not start. I get the message “Speicherzugriffsfehler”.

The apt sources list was not changed to “etch”.

en livecd, o en la version instalada, (0.6.7) la webcam Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0ac8:305b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. no funciona, es reconocida y la imagen sale en negro, en debian etch con el gspca-modules para su nucleo funciona, pero con el nucleo de elive no :/ eso es todo :D

(on my desktop PC live mode works fine) Revolution 2 works fine on my thinkpad (has there been a change in method of compression??)

The dutch translation in the installer doesn’t work. The header in the title are fine, but the text is still in English

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.

Using IceWeasel 2.0.0.3-1-2 (elive repository) extensions are forcedfully added for known fyletypes. Given a file filename.pdf, once downloaded it will be called filename.pdf.pdf, unles the user removes the extension in the file save dialog. I’ve seen the same behaviour with ppt, doc, tgz and other kind of files.
Unknown extensions are preserved with no problem (edj files).

Hi,

I noticed that PCMan does not recognize( Show ) the deleted files or the downloaded files directly,but just after refreshing the directory or to move to another one and then come back to the same one. Just in this case i can see if the file is deleted or not. Sometimes PCman remove the files immediately, but most of the time not.
I use the last developed version of Elive
elive-codename: Revolution rl2+
elive-version: 0.6.8
date-builded: 2007-04-30
debian-version: etch
stable-release: no
