Elive

My system has a TDK 48/14/48D USB CD-Burner, which I have used to burn all of my Linux distros, then subsequently boot and install from them in the same drive.

Not so with Elive 1.0 GEM! By the way, I checked the Checksum and it matched.

When I boot from this CD in this drive, I see two lines at the top of the screen:
Unknown keyword in the config file
Unknown keyword in the config file

Then I can select ‘English’ and ‘Default’, after which I can go no further than this screen:

Loading, please wait..... 
[: missing] 
[: missing] 
Unifing: base ls: /DSSCD/cdrom/xserver/: No such file or directory 
ls: /DSSCD/cdrom/deliver/: No such file or directory 
overall 
Something wrong with the image mounting 
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash) 
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands 
/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off 
(initramfs) 

....and nothing else happens :(

I have sent a copy of lsmod.txt to Thanatermesis

Thanks!

Hi I can’t use my wireless Edimax card as the shipped rt61 driver won’t work so i have to instead use this:

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz

BUT it won’t compile in elive. the make command doesnt work even with headers and source installed. can someone please help.

I know i need to use this driver as i’ve used it before. the MAKE worked in ubuntu and fedora and was simple to get my edimax card working.

i’ve uninstalled the rt61 generic driver from elive ready to install this specific legacy one, can someone please give advice, i’m sure it’s just cos some symlinks are wrong or something.

terminal output:

root@EliveCanvas[/home/jonah/Desktop/rt61-cvs-2007100406/Module]# make
make: * /lib/modules/2.6.18-elive/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt61.ko failed to build!
make: * [module] Error 1

Tried Elive on a cd. works great. Loaded Elive using the installer on the cd and all went well. I rebooted after it finished, I type in my user name and password and hit enter. The system will go down for a second and Elive will start again and the process starts all over. I cannot log in. Any help would be great.....

Hi there!

I installed today Elive Gem on my PC, everthing worked well, even my Linksys USB Wifi, were recognized and worked smoothly, but after updating the system online through apt-get, i get some Problems:

1. The System does not shutdown. It reach the line the System will shutdown now and then keep at this point without doing anything.
2. My Syslink USB Wireless-G adapter, is not anymore recognized under Elive. When try to list the Lan cards with ifconfig or through elive Panel, it show me just my eth0 and IEEE but no eth1 which it is my first Wifi USB adapter. I have another Wifi card, which is built in the system, but it does not work with Elive.

So please try to fix this Problem urgently to be able to surf the Net.

For any further information i am ready to help

This is the second time i experience the following problem:
if i set powersave governor, and leave the pc on overnight
the next morning the mouse pointer has disappeared
everything works, but i have no mouse pointer.
i have to open a terminal as root and reboot in order to regain control of the system.
This happens only with powersave governor or userspace fixed at the lowest speed (600 over 1300)

I don’t know why I can’t get dual screen (monitors) setup in Elive one is an lcd the other is a regular monitor...I got them both working in Ubuntu...Video card is 512MB Nvidia GeForce 6800...With three outs 1.VGA monitor connector 2.TV/S- HDTV connector 3.DVI connector...The monitor connected to DVI is the one that doesn’t work...VGA works fine...Haven’t tried TV/s-HDTV yet...I’m using the new Nvidia driver also.

A lot of people will be switching over to Elive from a distrobution other than Elive (I, for example, am coming from debian). It would be nice to not have to format my /home partition to mount it as the /home in Elive (Gem). Thanks :)

Thanks for a distro that has wireless working right out of the box, and flash, and quicktime, and even avi playing. But that is even a little flaky. But it wont play dvd’s using mplayer or oxine, or any of the players that are on the rep. I have a compaq armada notebook that needs all networking connections working, internet working and I want my multimedia. Thanks for the try but I’m moving down the road to the next distro...One of these will work like it should....good luck

Hi, it is not a big bug,

after installing the Live CD to my system (Think Pad T22) the system didn’t work.
so i go through the config files, and there it was, in grub there was the first mistake, the drive was labeled there as sda2 and had to be hda2.
The same mistakes were in fstab, all drives were labeled with sda where hda were recommanded.
As i fixed it manual Elive workes grate for me.

Hi !

Hi!

The auto luncher in GEM does not work. Whenever i insert a new empty CD to burn it, the auto luncher started and asks about if it should start the burner Program to start burning, and when i confirm the task, it did nothing ( do not start the Burner Program automatically ) so i have to do it myself.

Hi!

i tried to do apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade my Wlan-Firmware but i get always this message:

Update held back ... ( in German update zurückgehalten ) and i do not know why?

FreeEagle

When I start for example the Elive-panel, and try to access items requiring the root passwd, gksu pops up, prompting me for the password, and upon entering it, it just goes back to the elive panel without anything else happening.

If i first fire up the elive-panel as root in the terminal, everything works fine - and I can configure the system.

Starting the panel from terminal without root privileges prints out this, as gksu disappears after trying to launch a program.

(gksu:30556): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “experience”,
Xlib: connection to “:0.0” refused by server

Wifi intel 3945ABG don’t run

The firmware aka microcode for the intel 3945 wireless fails to load (update) at boot. This causes the wireless card to be detected but not work properly. It is unusable due to that nature.

if you put a cd/dvd in system at boot, it does not mount until you open thunar and click on it.

Ejecting of media (usb key) gives following error message:

“Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL.”
