Elive

My Ralink RT2561 PCI wifi-card worked “out-of-the-box” with LinuxMint 4.0 and 5.0.
But even latest Elive dev 1.9.07 cannot handle it.
Drivers are available here:
http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0723_RT61_Linux_STA_v1.1.2.2.tar.bz2

Unfortunately I got no Idea how to deal with those files. Do I have to switch to LinuxMint for using it?

Can’t installing Elive on VMWare. The Eliveinstaller reports this:

Error Information:
	An exit code of 1 was returned from sudo eliveinstaller.

Output Data:
	There was no output

Error Logs:
	There was no error message

It happens after I make the partitions, then I choose where goes Swap and where goes Root, and so Eliveinstaller crashes saving this in the log!

Thanks for the attention on this, I’m a truly fan of this distro.

Cheers!

Even if i deselect the “show label” button a name of the icon is always shown with init-ng.

Sometime the installer request the user to make a choice: for example, do u want to upgrade the system? Yes Cancel..
Cancel should be NO!

net configurator works like when wrong DNS entered. Several weeks ago, I missed my dns address on elive gem, and result was that I couldn’t open some of my internet provider’s pages. Now in the development version of elive I, entered the correct DNS number, but with same result.

Can’t get net connector to work in 1.9.10 I try start it it says to stop it first, so i try to stop it and it says it’s not running. The only way to get on the internet is to run iconfig in the terminal and i have to do that every time i log in

Livecd crashes randomly several times, if a crash occurs during upgrade of the system, all the upgrade process is lost and it works as a clean install on next reboot.
I have been unable to test the upgrade feature since eeepc has crashed 4-4 times during the upgrade of the system, thus losing all data of users and password.

Some messages of the installer needs to have YES NO messages:

the message “you have got an older version..” and the other one requesting to upgrade should be corrected.

Moreover, the installer doesn’t identify correctly the version, it tells me i am upgrading 1.9.11 with 1.9.11 while i am upgrading 1.9.10 with 1.9.11

Wireless Settings, does not work using Elpanel Icon, manual iwconfig commands work fine. Using iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid does set and associate with my base router; iwlist wlan0 scan does list the many networks around me; dhclient wlan0 does get an IP from the server.

None of which happens from the icon based script(?) but just sits there running continuously (for 4-5 minutes atleast.) After doing a manual setup, the Status for wlan0: window does list the correct state.

wlan0 is an Airlink pci .11G card, works with many other distros’ wizards, e.g. Mepis, Puppy, Sudix, some of the BSD’s that I have tried.

(As I have just a few machines on line that don’t change, I use Mac Filtering and neither WEP nor either WPA.)

The machine running Elive is a relatively new GeForce6100SM-M MoBo with an Athlon 64×2 and 1GB of ram.

• If you plug a linux* disk, thunar (exo-utils) mount it without uuid=user mode (so root owner),

this not looks like to be very correct, user can’t access/modify files

• If you insert a Cdrom to record it (like cdrw), brasero (burner) doesn’t has permissions to do anything with it,

thunar doesn’t has also a “umount” option but that’s other case

• remember that big problems requires big solutions

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

In 1.9.02 version, while moving/copying files with special character (accented letters - Brasillian), Thunar report error.

HP DX5150 SFF with NIC Broadcom BCM5751 Gigabit Ehternet Express does not work.

The device is shown with lspci but no lan interface with ifconfig

Tried to insmod tg3 module but not found.

Worked fine with GEM.

have istalled elive on oqo 01+
this has usb wifi branded by oqo, it’s based on atmel 76..505 chip

when loading the atm_76 module for it, nothing happens... doesn’t work

Some programs (amsn on top of all) request the device /dev/sound/dsp and /dev/sound/mixer
both are missing in the latest elive
then no sound is possible.

tried to install:
kdepim_3.5.5.dfsg.1-6_all.deb from file manager

Failed to run gdebi-gtk ‘–non-interactive’ ‘/home/r/Downloads/firefox/kdepim_3.5.5.dfsg.1-6_all.deb’ as user root.

merge the eeepc configuration for eeepc with the original e17 configuration, there’s wrong things like setvolume hotkeys

try to made the capture mode for the mic enabled by default (skype and other apps working out of the box then)

Looks like grub is not installed correctly on the MBR, in a clean hard disk, automatic+easy mode install, (automatic grub install), elive 1.9.14

Elive Gem run in my computer,
but is not possible to install 1.9.14 in my computer (acer travelmate alpha-550 -256M ram), is not possible to choose the right resilution video

Its needed to make the shutdown prioritary on the sleep mode. Most of the time if i select shutdown, then close the lid, the pc goes into sleep instead of shutdown..
shutdown on eeepc can take up to 20 secs it should disable every suspend once the shutdown process is triggered

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

2007, 2.14Ghz Macbook (white) does not connect to wep hex network on the livecd.
LSPCI:

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros COmmunications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

net-connector simply tries to connect then stops trying.
iwconfig essid name key yeahitshere gives the following error:
Error for wireless request “Set Encode” (8B2A): SET failed on device ath0 ; Operation not supported.

I’ve installed version 1.9.16 and when I try to make the laptop enter Hibernation then it goes through the steps and ends up with a black console with a cursor blinking - and then it wakes up immediately and plays the sound “elive has been restored”.

if i try to shutdown and after issuing the shutdown close the lid,
the eeepc goes into sleep instead.
It should be made to disable the sleep when the shutdown has been issued.
