Elive

Hello,
a problem for elive 1.9.56 and earlier versions up from about 1.9.30: (where older versions did not have this problem, but i don’t know exactly)

description:
the startup elive sound is much too loud (almost breaking the speakers)

on Lenovo R61i (and probably other laptops of this brand)
on DELL Latitude C540 (and also other laptops of this brand)

i found a workaround:
after selection of language you add nosound to the command line options
then the sound will be just audible but not annoy your neighbourhood.

on other computers like Apple MacMini or Samsung the sound level is ok.

on Apple iMac elive does not sound at all.

Maybe not for the 2.0 but for the 3.0 !!!

PLEASE be describable, clear, and direct. Think that we need to understand, found, and solve the bug.

Remember to set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

Thank you
In devel.version 1.9.58 and 1.9.59 - live mode - several programs cannot be started. Examples are synaptic and gparted

System: elive 1.9.57
Language: English
Keyboard: US

If root password [and possibly user passwd] is set during HD install with “$” as the first character, elive appears to accept the password. Once the system is installed ‘esu’ and terminal commands like ‘su’ fail to accept the password.

This works perfectly on every other Distro I’ve ever used, so I think it must be specific to the elive installer.

Also, once the system is installed, attempting to change the password using the GUI user manager attempting to set a password beginning with “$” fails with the message “The passwords are not equals, please try again”.

It appears to accept other non-alphanumeric characters. It only fails with “$”

The best solution would be for the password setting to work correctly with “$” as the first character in the passwd.

A less professional but at least acceptable alternative would be to generate an error telling the user not to start a password with “$”. This would be a useful workaround but might appear as a shortcoming relative to other distributions.

After dist-upgrade yesterday (1.9.60) and restarted, module places disappeared from system. Whats’ wrong?

When trying to change resolution screen goes black and a box appears showing that Enlightenment SEGV’d.

To reproduce this bug please boot Elive from a CD, selecting automatic resolution. After full boot up enter Settings Panel/Screen/Resolution and choose some other resolution and frequency but do not save your selection, just click “restore” button and then change frequency again. Now this crash should happen.
I supose this behaviour is easier to reproduce using CRT display.

My guess is that this SEGV happens because when you mark resolution and frequency for the first time and cancel, the choice of resolution is not remembered, but you are still able to choose frequency and try to set it.

My rig has GeForce 5700 FX and thus uses nvidia 173 driver.

After changing resolution or frequency with the Screen Resolution Setting box the tick mark doesn’t change it’s place. However it marks the proper option after closing and reopening this box.

When graphical system crashes and a box with “Enlightenment SEGV’d” message shows up, this box is displayed in the centre of a screen with resolution set while booting up.
If resolution was changed after loading graphical system, this box shows out of the centre of current screen as if it matched centre of a sceen of resolution set at boot up. If resolution was changed a lot, part (or possibly whole) of this box is displayed out of visible screen and thus it’s hard to find out what actions are possible to recover from this situation.

I’m trying Elive 1.9.60

There are strange values in a box on the right.
As far as I know these values should look more like 60 Hz, 70 Hz, 75 Hz, 85 Hz...

You may also notice that there’s no marked refresh frequency on the right although 77 Hz (it really stands for 85 Hz) was just selected and saved (it’s what I mean in report #542)

... and probably other windows, although they are correctly displayed in menu.

Elive 1.9.60

Rectangles mark places where those characters should be displayed.

Hello can u add by defalt thie logs , please

Running on a Dell Optiplex 320, 4Gb Ram, ATI Vid -Running Live CD

Video and audio hardware detected correctly.
Opening screen (Desktop) should have not only clock but also the current date somewhere.
Ice Weasel browser handles multimedia well. I have noticed odd behavior browsing on Piratebay.org, after loading initial page, subsequent ones, after clicking navigation controls on bottom of page, refuse to load???
Need to have an email client (s/b able to be configured & tested on live CD)
-Outstanding distro. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to next version.

Since 1.9.52 Unstable and 2.6.30.9 kernel version all the Elive releases are very “unstable” and buggy for my system,both in live and installed mode,with or without ecomorph enabled,the system totally freezes after no more than 5 minutes and it can’t be unlocked with ctrl+alt+backspace or alt+PrintScreenSysRq+REISUB,only with forced reboot.The pppoe internet connection is very unstable too with many disconnections and very slow speed.In rest the system is very fast even in ecomorph mode.
Personally I blame the latest 2.6.30.9 kernel version,with older 2.6.26-2 version I haven’t got these problems.

First the hard facts(version, hw):

EeePC 701 4g
WiFi AP configured to WAP2
Elive version: elive 1.9.61

Now for the problem.

I try to configure my wlan through the configurator but I couldn’t set it up since it constantly rescanned and also refreshed/wiped all the other fields(ESSID, Pass Key, Profile Name) each time I tried to enter them.

I changed the refresh and rescan times in the options but it didn’t respect them. On top of that the constant refreshing seriously loaded the system and caused quite a bit of battery use(not to mention heat).

After a reboot though it is now respecting them and I can actually configure wlan.

1.9.60

hotkey for suspend/hibernate not working anymore.. (dell D620)
I think it’s something with new gnome power management?

And If I choose to power down from menu and select suspend,
the message with warning (probably this one causing this) stopped to suspend machine-
only black screen, nothing I can do, switch to another user ctrl+alt+f1 and there with SU
tried to reboot and after this the machine suspends .. strange..
And after waking up there is this messagi-warning which I have to cancel everytime, no matter if it tells click cancel not to see this anymore..

The same thing happends if I LID the LCD panel - the system hangs and I have to switch user or power down the PC to suspend the machine..

Hello, I tried to play with flash player to install it in chrome, found some solutin with dynamic link of libraries, but it worked only in terminal admin su manual run of chrome.. After “tweaking” I’m not able to run flash in opera, iceweasel also :( The report is something like:
ERROR: .... adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so : /usr/local/lib/libnss3.so : version “NSS_3.11” not found (required by /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so)

the same with native_library_linux.cc

I know I’ve upgraded somewhere something and I think it did the installer of flash directly from adobe, but what now?
Thank U

wlan with bcm4312 broadcom chip no more connecting with network connector in RC-versions of Elive.

Version 2.0 new kernel Topaz

laptop Dell Vostro13, touchpad synaptics, gsynaptics 0.9.14-6 installed

No scrolling at all with the touchpad (vertical, horizontal...)

tap is ok (double tap= 1 click)

It seems that’s it doesn’t work at all, when I try to load the touchpad menu, I get :
“Synaptics couldn’t initialize.
You have to set ‘SHMConfig’ ‘true’ in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics”

I’ve added these lines to the xorg.conf file, and also a shmconfif in hal (like in this doc : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/touchpad ...in french), reloaded the system and nothing (the ibar only disappear the 1st time...)

saw on some boards it could be a problem with the kernel (?)

If U end some dialogs from setup panel without exit as expected - for example not to wait for EXIT button and end it with close window or ESC, there is E17 error appeared..

some problem with USB appeared after trying to wake up from hibernate.. Enumerate USB or something.. ?
System wont launch and the text with error report is running on the screen..

HP mini 2133 with CPU VIA x86 C7-m 1.6Ghz and probably all of these from VIA
- kernel not supported scaling, scale module error so CPU module in E17 makes only ???

I have burned a few .iso of Elive Topaz 2.0 (stable) 001 that have passed the MD5-Checksum comparison and that I have burned at slow speeds to ensure no errors. Every time I boot the CD I get stuck at this error “mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically” Where it waits for 7 minutes before finally performing the rest of the boot process. This has happened both on a Latitude D630 and Latitude E6400.

Looks like when the partition label has a space, blocks e17
