Elive

Create a system of Shared folders using Samba

It would be nice to add the files for playing m4a sound files:
i was able to play right after adding the two plugin files (.so) to the xmms plugin directory
i would suggest to avoid compilation and take the precompiled plugins

here is the source page http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/realisations/

installing unofficial packages is a very bad practice, it can broke the system. We need to notice the user with a popup in gdebi about this issue.

I noticed that from time to time resuming the eeepc from sleep results in a frozen screen with entrance showing. Is not possible to type name or password, and the system is responsive only to “poweroff reboot by hardware button”.
This has happened a few times after long standby (over 20 minutes).
I’ve been unable to switch to tty for further investigations..

According to the ppl in #eeepc the cpu of the eeepc4g doesn’t support speedstep and they advised me to disable p4-clockmod since can cause unstability.
I found also on wiki.eeeuser.com that the default clock of the eeepc is 630mhz and is not possible to change it in any way (but there is an experimental linux kernel module to bring up to 900mhz the clock, at a cost of unstability).
this needs investigation, if its true, then it should be advisable to remove the modules from the eeepc special install...
w/o p4-clockmod my system seems very responsive while on battery, and the duration of the battery seems unchanged: 2.50h.
I suggest to make some test with the eeepc, i am doing the same.

very simply:
EEEPC mute hotkey is not configured

Hello
i confirm that 1.9.20-1.9.21 kernel panic during bootup when using the latest nonfree virtualbox (2.1.0).
This happens on an Athlon Xp 2200, on a centrino 1.4Ghz which have different versions of elive installed:
The athlon has 1.9.20 upgraded and the centrino has 1.9.18 dist-upped to current.

new installation of 1.9.21, the machine has a matrox card, seems that it keeps double clicking.

With the 2.9.18 upgrade the timezone is off with 1 hour.

No access to my other partitions (Windows partition) for normal users. (Root user has access) This is not really a bug, but in the 0.4 all users had access.

Using Thunderbird on a Elive 0.5 on my laptop. The default language is French (Fr_fr), and default charset is utf8 for the system.
Some headers of emails don’t print correctly in the headers window of thunderbird, and changing the charset in the menu View→ Character Encoding doesn’t solve the pb... Maybe a pb of compilation of the pgm ?

I also had a pb with accents in xfe, I didn’t manage to solve (Those french and their accents !...)

Thanks for all with this wonderfull distro !
FX

mount ntfs filesystem with rw attributes in live mode, it forced re-check filesystem for win in the next boot.

As in the Kanotix it will be very usefull to use the menu for bluetooth, devices detection and setting up, also menu for GPRS connection

i have NVIDIA fuzion fx5500 pci 256mb when elive tryes to login all i get is command prompt with user:,it doesnt get to real login screen,when i take out the card elive works fine with my intel internal

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
Xlib: No protocol specified

Seems gdebi is still b0rked, i suggest removing it from the final release.

Crash with no reason

i have installed elive 1.9.18 on my laptop dell latitude d630.
and E17 crashed with no reason, for twice install.

i have wallpaper with blanck windows who write f1 resume or F4 quit, and when i put F1 i have entrance i relog, and same problem

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf

+BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 3"
+LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15"
+BRIGHTNESS-OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness"

this is the most up to date and correct link to be set up in laptop-mode tools.

With ELive 1.9.20 and on my Acer Aspire One I cannot boot up into X when on battery.

The boot is taking EXTREMELY long time and when it finally does something I get a console login.
Upon login it complains that all FS are readonly and hence fails to create the proper locks for X to startup.

Ubuntu doesn’t set any password to root by default, this is a very good idea (ironic), so that the migration mode of the installer works perfectly but when the user want to do anything with root... can’t do anything, cant login, nothing... since there’s no password

Add a verifier of root passwords in the migration/upgrade mode so that will request it if is empty

I will need a sample line of the root file / etc/shadow in order to know how to detect it

I just tried to use Google Talk for videoconference (calls) but seems to not work, I tried it on chrome and even installed a .deb package provided by google, it complains about that is not correctly installed or something similar, I will need to make future look to it

Lastest e17, after to finish wizard go fast to the applications menu and scroll it, e17 freezes

This bug reported by AlexAnteMachina has nothing to do with composite, not even with vbox, I tried it in laptop and e17 simply gets frozen, seems like X11 is died, very strange bug! even with my libs updated without the optimize options (please somebody confirm that we have debug messages now), there’s simply no way to get a backtrace because everything is blocked (well, you can kill X11, but you lose everything)

Maybe there’s not even needed to select German language, it looks like an efreet bug

This is another bug, but seems like caused by the same reason, sometimes, and just sometimes, e17 starts looking like this (some hang in the startup of efreet, or uncomplete or similar, idk)
http://main.elivecd.org/tmp/enlightenment/shot-2013-06-01_22-24-45.jpg

A restart of e17 will solve the problem, but is not a good way to start e17 of course

Another bug: if you install eltrans (here is elive in version 2.1.40), and you try to open the menus, it becomes frozen

While booting numlock doesn’t enable this could be handy for passwords

Hello,
After install Elive Beta to NTB and login to GUI it is not posible to set song to “No song” or any else default.
If it is clicked for example to “NO SONG” aplication would set song by default.
