Elive

There isn’t the driver for Linux Realtek RTL8111(B)/RTL8168(B)
(module r1000).

I have a couple old computers with Ati Rage 128 Pro 32MB cards. In both Revolution releases the detection of the video card dos not work properly and asks to choose fglrx, radeon or VESA drivers for X11, the first two failing, obviously, and the third one being terribbly slow.
The driver to use is r128, and changing that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restarting the X system everything works perfectly.

i have a problem with shares-admin-manager, when i run this program for directory shared , the app freeze.

Module Mount kills ALSA + net eth0 + wlan. IBM T30+EliveCD installed 5.4 + Kernel 2.6.15.7 + usbmgr

2.6.7.15 kernel IBM T no hibernate (due too old kernel/no partition prepared after install (no notice)).Suspend works strange.Sometimes wakes up/sometimes hangs within suspending/waking.Hibernate tries to work but only beeps after insertin IBM_ACPI - should be inserted automaticaly when install recognized IBM ntb.LID switch only power off the lamp,not display.Power button doesn’t work-not recognized by acpi.No rules to run dimmer of LCD (battery/AC).. Some plugin/module would be fine..

Terminal takes all the free power of CPU on multilanguage system+keyboard layout-easily solved: Remove indication of switched keyboard in xorf.conf by lightening Scroll or something else. CPU falls back to normal!!! (unbelievable,but works for me-Czech lang. install+keyb CZ+US)

I am noticing a complete slow down in computer operations when opening the interface properties menu for wifi configuration.
Using the clock applet as a gauge, the seconds get updated every 2 to 4 seconds (this time interval varies.) Mouse and text operations are only accessible in these intervals, as well.

Also, for example, once finished filling the properties and clicking OK, the little activation window that comes up with the little bar scanning back and forth (while the wifi signal is being captured) takes 15 seconds to go from one side to the other!!!
This slowdown has been noticed on all versions .5.1 through the rel2!

I have not been successful at wifi connection in ANY of versions .5.1 through rel2!

After the notification of the first activication notice, most of the time the computer returns to normal operation speed...but not always. Re-boot is then necessary to return to normal speed.

Averatec AV3270-EH1, ralink 2500,

Also when updating to rel2, during the install it said I needed the bcm-43xx driver...and I have the ralink. I used synaptic to remove the bcm-43xx driver thinking there may be a conflict, but that did not help.

Be patient with these installs:

Wine + WinMed.player (ie6),localization of Firefox,loacalization of Thunderbird,VLC,maybe Xine or others..

These will overwrite default settings for plugins to firefox and is not very easy to get them back to be driven by MP Embeded plugin.Can’t be deleted or rerouted.

Not bug,just stupid made programs-they don’t ask,just do.

When installing Elive Revolution rl2 on hard drive (SATA drive), I asked the installer to place GRUB in the root partition (I wanted to keep the NT bootloader). However, my MBR was deleted and booting was impossible (actually I don’t know where GRUB was installed, if it was). I had to launch the installer again and ask to put GRUB on the MBR to recover a working system. So this is not a critical problem, but it can be stressing !

on detection ati 3d rage pro (mach64) 8 mo has choice between radeon,fglrx and vesa : fglrx and radeon fails, vesa is very slow.i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose “ati” : but only works in 60hz.... is there another solution?

running .6.1 unstable as live...
after filling out info for wifi config (this version works at this point, see bug report 57) I then hit the ‘activate’ button
keyboard entry is locked immediately...
after ~one minute (and/or after clicking activation button for the second time, as wifi was not enabled) mouse clicks no longer work, although cursor can still move around the screen and to different desktops, and after another minute, movement of cursor is limited to current desktop... I have not witnessed cursor being immobilized, but imagine that would happen after another period of time...
(witnessed this in dreamlinux 4.2 which also has the 2.6.18 kernel)

Two sound card configuration:
1.
I have in desktop PC two soundcards.After configuring them in elpanel,choosing one of them,I’m able to use sound through the choosen one. BUT after few restarts, the config autoswitch to the second one which means audio is OK,but play from the second sound card EVEN I have chosen other one.The audio mixer autoswitch to the proper features which support the sound card now playing.

2.
If I want to use one sound car for sounds and the other for forexample skype,there is something missing.. In XMMS I’m able to choose ONLY one soundcard,even I have two.I can choose the card which is set from elpanel..

In network manager (gnome one,default in Elive)
If I choose from pre-defined location setting (I have made by myself months before) network-manager switch but closes with error report.

If I switch from active network eth0 from static IP to dynamic IP, nothing is changed until I deactive network and active it again.

If I deactive eth0 (it disapper in the default network connection used), again active it with another setting,close down manager, again open manager, there is still NO default network used-no connection.

Mounted devices after unmounting still let their directory in /media/
visible and not been deleted.

After downloading .bin file (targed linux executable)
There is no signature for RUN the file.Must go to terminal and:
chmod +x file.bin logged as root. Better to do this automatically..

After installing OpenOffice (the ones for reading XLS and DOC already incuded in live CD are MUCH faster,but does not know everything :( )
there is wrong association with DOC in Thunar - associate with packing program is not what I expect from DOC file..

[polish] - ntfs directories which has polish national signs in their names are not visible after ntfs is mounted

The system freeze when configure in the menu panel the key binding settings.

When trying to build an eap the icon selector confuses and piles the folders randomly, so that is hard to browse for icons: most folders are hidden by other ones..
moreover selecting an icon is possible only with double click and that opens gimp.

I installed the num lock package for having num lock enabled in x sessions, however every time i reboot there is no num lock in my elive.

Hi

I have elive Rev rl2 on my IBM thinkpad and for some reason when I try to boot I end up with a black screen or a blackscreen with a non-flashing comand promt just as the entrance logon screen is about to load as though the system has crashed at this point. It didn’t happen when I first installed elive but then when I tried to boot a second time after installation it happened. I thought maybe it was something I did and tried to reinstall but this time it took about 10 restarts before even the eliveCD would boot entrance properly in live mode. Anyway I reinstalled it seemed to work for a while and then again just now, entrance would not boot properly again even in recovery mode. I finally got it up again after repeatedly turning the laptop off and on again.

When entrance loads elive 0.6+ rl2 works perfectly, (such a perfect lil distro my battery even lasts 3-4hr twice that that with any other OS) it just this issue with entrance not being booted properly that’s the problem.

Is there something I have to change in the monitor setup, i.e. frequency? how do I do this in recovery mode comand line?

Thank

I found out that if i browse with thunar then i launch mplayer for example to play a movie, it crashes if i close thunar window.
i tried the same with oxine but it doesn’t.

I’m absolutely unable to switch SMTP even I have two/three, thunderbird always takes the first one in que.Installing plugin with SMTP switch button does not solve anything..
