At least with the “vmware player” bundle script, thunar looks like to want to open with the wrong application (mplayer), do some kind of launcher for it, with terminal and etc...

Hi !

I have the last Elive Development version elive_1.9.28_unstable installed on my Desktop. I know you will say who use FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) now adays. But i need to use it for my Keyboard to load new Keyboard Styles and Rhythems. The Floppy Drive write too slow. it takes more than 20 Minutes to finish writing and deleting.

Please try to fix that.

Regards,
FreeEagle

If I drag the edge of a window to resize, the window will freeze for about 5-10 seconds. Happens on Live or Installed versions 1.9.27 and 1.9.29.

Three different installs give the same result.

I have a Pentium D with Nvidia 9500gt and a gig of RAM.

Solved this issue by typing this in cmd line, thanks to user Asides:

nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1 &

Hello!

I’m running 1.9.29-Compiz.
The System HAS the file /dev/video0
And the webcam works well with “Cheese” (apt-get install cheese)

Now comes the weird Stuff:
When trying to use “Webcam-Viewer” it replies:

Exiting... (End of file)

Not much info, i just know that it not works, so:

• see if the module loads correctly (modprobe nvidia and run dmesg too)
• see if the version of the module package and the glx package are the same version
• read X logs
• use the xorg.conf of the installed system

Keyboard layout problem.
Found on Elive 1.9.30 When Elive installed on russian (at least & seems the same when change system language from elpanel). The problem appear after loggin in.
It is in xorg.conf

	Option "XkbLayout" "ru,us(winkeys)"

Correct is

	Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"

When I attempt to change the theme for Entrance using using the command entrance_edit –theme <path to theme file>, entrance & x will not start. Fortunately I have Gdm installed as well & am able to boot from the Elive CD, then was able to edit /mnt/(my partition)/etc/X11/default-display-manager from entranced to gdm.
This allowed me to log back into my account after rebooting. To get it back to normal I have to completely uninstall all entrance files, reboot, log back in & then reinstall the entrance files & reboot again & entrance is back working. but how ever I am not able to change the theme for entrance using the entrance_edit –theme <path to theme file> command.

After perspide a lot I started the live version via usb-pendrive

well, the 1.9.31 unstable is very attractive
I’m a long term OpenSuSE user and elive seems very fast and beatiful.

But now the problem :
with the aspire one D150 ( 10 inches netbook ) the audio does not works
I had the same problem in OpenSuSE 11.1 and I heard in many other distributions
The problem is due to the kernel version and to alsa version ( I would ask you, why if this release is out yesterday
you choose to exit with a 2.6.26 kernel when kernel.oeg report last stable at 2.6.30 ?? )
for audio to works it is necessary 2.6.29 or newer and alsa 1.0.19 or newer.
( can I install update them without problem or have I to wait they are suited for elive itself ? )
wifi ( atheros ) and eth works good and the Iceweasel is very very light and fast.
card reader too works perfectly
I tried to connect a umts usb-stick but did not found any program who manages it ( maybe I have to work on it )
webcam works

Subj: elive_1.9.31_unstable ISO file - Grub Menu is wrong!

If you check the contents of the menu.lst file in the boot/grub folder and compare the kernel and initrd filenames in the menu to the actual filenames, you will see that they do not match (spelling issue with “_” and “-” characters), thus it is not possible to boot the system.
Since I was using FAT32 partition (with grub4dos and the original menu.lst file from the iso) to which I extracted the contents of the ISO file, I was able to boot the installer after editing the grub menu.lst file. I have yet to get the installer working correctly, since the system boots but doesn’t continue with the installer...

Acer Aspire One A110L support lacking.
Elive CD Development 1.9.31 iso downloaded and transferred to USB as per the Linux instructions.
Upon boot, system hangs after populating the udev framework, if there is a FAT32 formatted SD card in either the left or the right internal card reader.
If the SD card is not present, boot continues so keymap and resolution can be selected.

After bypassing  bug 413  (http://bugs.elivecd.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=413&project=2&order=dateopened&sort=desc) and booting without an SD card present, keymap selection and resolution selection can take place.
After X starts up, and the Enlightment desktop displays, the system will shut down after about 30 seconds to 1 minute, whether one uses the system or not.

I think it might be related to the loading of both acer-wmi and MadWifi, since they are known not to play nice together. Other distros such as ubuntu blacklist acer-wmi for the Acer Aspire One models. Using geubuntu (a E17 based ubuntu distro) no such shutdown happens.

Further debugging is not possible, since any logfiles are gone when the system shuts down.

The options in the grub menu for the no sensors boot are wrong. It has duplicated the “nobluetooth” parameter from the No bluetooth option above, and doesn’t contain any options to disable sensors.

This is a bunch of tests, please see if you can reproduce these problems and if happens to you too, add a comment on this ticket

After upgrading the system the sleep feature is lost:
closing the lid the computer doesn’t go to sleep
selecting sleep from the menu has no effect.

this package should be installed in the final system

After the verifying speeds steps of the installer, if you have a NTFS partition, the /root files will be vanished (see how your gtk theme of the installer looks ugly now)

Solutions: update aufs version (kernel) or copy the root files back

Note: This DOESN’T affect to the installed system, it is just a bug for the live mode, installed system is perfectly clean and stable... if will be not the case, Elive won’t use this way :))

(Apologies for not being able to provide much in the way of technical info.)

1.9.22 ecomp version
Eeepc901, ssd, first ssd partitioned in ext3/boot, reiserfs/root, linuxswap/.

What happens that I can see is the following. I choose hibernate, the system finds the swap- partition, writes to it, and shuts down. Upon reboot, tuxonice cannot find the hibernation state, and the system loses the swap. Seems likely this is normal, since the swap- partition is marked, and shouldn’t be overwritten - still, I am not able to figure out why tuxonice won’t attempt the restore. Attempted to set verbose mode, but no luck on the boot- section.. The init says swap:’huge md5- like checksum’, etc. Attempted to increase the swap- partition, also change it to a different drive, with the same result.

A friend of mine has an ethernet modem
It worked fine till yesterday when i upgraded his system, from then it didn’t work anymore.
pppoeconf tells that it can’t find any address concentrator on the ethernet, and it doesn’t work.
I have no clue how to fix it, since there shouldn’t be any kernel or driver issue (since is an ethernet modem).

Hello, i don’t know if u have seen, but when u quit Elive, u have the screen with elive started, but elive quit, maybe a bug?

Recode the IBM video, it has a very noisy sound

Net connector doesn’t autoconnect to a profile in ethernet even if auto connect is set up.
this as today upgrade

EEEpc701:can’t change any options in the installer:
i choose ext3 partition, no bluetooth, but after reboot i got a reiserFS partition and all packages.

Ubuntu doesn’t set any password to root by default, this is a very good idea (ironic), so that the migration mode of the installer works perfectly but when the user want to do anything with root... can’t do anything, cant login, nothing... since there’s no password

Add a verifier of root passwords in the migration/upgrade mode so that will request it if is empty

I will need a sample line of the root file / etc/shadow in order to know how to detect it
