Elive

I noticed twice that my eeepc becames unresponsive after a few wifi disconnections, this happens using wicd or exalt.
Wicd stops telling it is trying to clean the routing table, exalt instead doesn’t show any particular message
From then every keyboard event is ignored, all the hotkey combination are not working
Could be a kernel panic since is not possible to do anything else than an hard reboot, the system appears freezed at the maximum CPU speed.

Hello i tested the 1.8.5 installed on my eeepc and found a bunch of bugs:

• exalt doesn’t recognizes interfaces, so is not possible to connect to anything

• during bootup i had a loop where messages ran very fast on the screen, to fix i had to hard reboot, didn’t happen again yet...this was happening also in 1.8.4

• thunar doesn’t mount devices, no usb pen, nor the usb SD card reader of the eeepc, they are not even seen by thunar

• trying to disable then re-enable exalt results in E17 segfault

• the cpufreq module is unable to change the governor

Beside that the system seems stable, however i can’t test it since no connection to internet.

love the distro but just can’t get the wireless driver working,using elive 1 running with a prism 3886 wireless card which is not recognized,loaded windows driver with ndis wrapper,loaded wicd.wicd will not load and can’t get any access to internet other then through Ethernet.

Version 1.8.6 al actualizar (upgrade) deja de aparecer automaticamente al reiniciar la red. Teniendola que habilitar en panel cada vez que reinicias.

En la versión 1.8.7 como en la antecesora la 1.8.6 aparte que se cambia de idioma solo el control del raton se hace complicado asin como la utilización de el escritorio, aparte de consumir el 100% de la cpu constantemente.

Write here a informational but simple description

Hello
noticed some small bugs:

1) the dpms config in laptop mode is uncorrectly linked..so it won’t change the screen brightness when going from battery mode to AC mode..easy to fix

2) thunar works fine, but opens 2 instances when installing an usb device..needs to be addressed...

Write here a informational but simple description Sur Elive 1.8.8, Exalt ne fonctionne pas du tout, alors que sur la 1.8.4, il est parfaitement opérationnel.

hi,
My Intel PRO/Intel 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g) wlan card works in all distributions fine (including debain). i have tested now Elive 1.7.7 & Elive 1.9.02. i can find the network and if i try to connect i can also find the access point but i can´t enter the wlan.

Elive 1.9.0.5
Kernel 2.6.25.16-elive-i686

Sound doesn’t work

The Ethernet adapter in my secondary laptop is a Tigon3 chipset. I need this module to be able to use Ethernet.

The Dell D610 is one of the many laptops with an adapter that uses this driver.

I am unable to get the live-cd mode to start the nvidia legacy 96xx driver/module. It fails after trying to unpack the 96xx kernel and uses the NV driver instead (meaning no 3d acceleration). 96xx is the correct version for my nvidia mx440 card and has worked perfectly in previously in past elive versions up to Gem. Unstable version 1.8.8 and the two previous unstable releases of them all had the same problem. Good slow burn at 8x speed and Md5 checked. not a particular release as it is exactly the same in those three 1.8.8 and below. Also an error box prompts at startup saying not all features have been started and recommends rebooting to try to get them working.

Installs fine, It installs the NV driver etc and when i try to switch to/install the 96xx after install I am not good enough at linux to get it working. It never starts x and pushes me to a login prompt.

During boot it even tells me there is an error and report it here.

Cron jobs call /usr/sbin/anacron to execute tasks, but anacron is not installed as a default package

HP 6715b notebook NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express does not work. Works in Gem fine.

HP 6715b notebook

HP 6715b notebook with radeon X1250 integrated graphics - fglxr driver. Auto mode reports failure, but x loads fine. Setting monitor to 1600×1280 shows no error message and x loads fine

I am making a syslinux.cfg for my USB stick, and I noticed that the arguments passed to the kernel are the same if you choose No Bluetooth or No Temperature.

Can’t installing Elive on VMWare. The Eliveinstaller reports this:

Error Information:
	An exit code of 1 was returned from sudo eliveinstaller.

Output Data:
	There was no output

Error Logs:
	There was no error message

It happens after I make the partitions, then I choose where goes Swap and where goes Root, and so Eliveinstaller crashes saving this in the log!

Thanks for the attention on this, I’m a truly fan of this distro.

Cheers!

net configurator works like when wrong DNS entered. Several weeks ago, I missed my dns address on elive gem, and result was that I couldn’t open some of my internet provider’s pages. Now in the development version of elive I, entered the correct DNS number, but with same result.

Can’t get net connector to work in 1.9.10 I try start it it says to stop it first, so i try to stop it and it says it’s not running. The only way to get on the internet is to run iconfig in the terminal and i have to do that every time i log in

Wireless Settings, does not work using Elpanel Icon, manual iwconfig commands work fine. Using iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid does set and associate with my base router; iwlist wlan0 scan does list the many networks around me; dhclient wlan0 does get an IP from the server.

None of which happens from the icon based script(?) but just sits there running continuously (for 4-5 minutes atleast.) After doing a manual setup, the Status for wlan0: window does list the correct state.

wlan0 is an Airlink pci .11G card, works with many other distros’ wizards, e.g. Mepis, Puppy, Sudix, some of the BSD’s that I have tried.

(As I have just a few machines on line that don’t change, I use Mac Filtering and neither WEP nor either WPA.)

The machine running Elive is a relatively new GeForce6100SM-M MoBo with an Athlon 64×2 and 1GB of ram.

In 1.9.02 version, while moving/copying files with special character (accented letters - Brasillian), Thunar report error.

HP DX5150 SFF with NIC Broadcom BCM5751 Gigabit Ehternet Express does not work.

The device is shown with lspci but no lan interface with ifconfig

Tried to insmod tg3 module but not found.

Worked fine with GEM.

1.9.10 elive with latest updates, can’t connect to a hex wep local wifi network, there is no option to choose hex key (only wep, wpa and none), the network is there, but the connection is not made due to password failure

wicd finds and connects to the same network without a problem
