package oss-compat solves the issue, recommend to add in the default install

Does not work the option of updating via the Internet hours

Doesn’t found the installed ntp package

I’m using Elive-dev 1.9.24 with latest upgrades.

Now the graphical Logout Manager fails. It does not show the window it should but only a part of it.
To show you what I mean I took a screenshot:

On the latest Elive testing ISO (1.9.24), the system fails to boot since it can’t detect the base system. Debian Lenny also does the same thing.

I asked on the Debian IRC and apparently there is no support for my cd drive in the 2.6.26 kernel. I’d like this added so I can boot elive. might as well just update to a newer kernel if you ask me (but that’s not my place).

Elive Gem works fine. If you want I can provide additional information.

Hi!

since the version 1.9.21 i got some problem with a lot of application. Here is a example with gmail-notify. The application is installed but doest start.

[wordE ~]$ gmail-notify
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./notifier.py", line 6, in <module>
  import gtk

ImportError: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size

Some solution!

Best regards

I noticed that net-connector on eeepc doesn’t autoconnect anymore or does it seldom.

I have just downloaded and burnt elive, tried to install on PC & get the following on screen:

My sys is an asus P5E3, intel core 2 duo, GeForce 8800gt with 4gig of ddr3.

There’s needed some extra modules in the initrd in order to boot elive from an usb that are plugged in (some) pcmcia devices

I’m using 1.9.26.
From time to time it simply “looses” the resolution-settings of xorg.conf
Manually rewriting it does not help a thing.
The only way to solve this is to completely overwrite it with a backupfile.

Synaptic or root terminal will not open. asks for root password, then it dissappears. I’m kind of stuck if I cant get to either of those.....

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.

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.
