Elive

Under elive 0.5.1 (is this the same as 0.5 dev?) the icon for usb disks doesn’t disappear when I right click and unmount one under Thunar. I upgraded to the latest Thunar yet this still occurs. Is this an upstream bug?

Would be good if the elive installer could detect what other OSs are installed and add them to the grub menu automatically. It didn’t find my OpenSUSE 10.1 install on hda1 anyway.

Boot from liveCD is impossible on laptop Dell E1505/6400 with SONY DVD RW DW-Q58A.

All any choice of boot menu fails with the following message :

Loading, please wait...

Something wrong with the image mounting.

I found more indication when i tred to launch qemu, all the log will be displayed on screen (dots mean text snip):

...

I see an another Dell E1505 with same problem : http://edevelop.org/node/2814

and I found some tip about ATAPI on : http://www.debian-administration.org/users/fsateler/weblog/5

thanks for reading ;)

APM is not being loaded during bootup. Even if acpi is disabled and apm is modprobe’d after boot, upon shutdown, the screen of the laptop will only blur and the laptop will not turn off. If you are in live mode, the cd will eject, but the laptop will not turn off. One note to keep in mind is that you cannot modprobe apm in version 0.5.1 as the OS complains about missing libraries.

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..

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?

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

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..

simple test of mail server

If I insert a floppy in my floppy drive (normal desktop system), it will be not mounted, respectevely is not visible in Thunar. I have seen in Hal-Device-Manager, the floppy is available, but the value of the block device is /dev/fd0. But I have no /dev/fd0.

<Thanatermesis>
Please, take care of this request. I don’t have a floppy disc in order to confirm the request. However on the Elive (Expert) installation there is a question about the automounter.
Wait for the user’s answer and please take a look to it.

Cdparanoia has a known issue (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391901) with SATA drives when ripping CD’s. Grip using it’s own internal cdparanoia code and also the cdparanoia binary freezes the entire system when ripping starts.

I think there’s a patch available but not sure if it’s implemented. Grip would also occasionally freeze teh system using cdda2wav ripper too although not every time.

Can’t login to system because I set Russian language.
I can’t switch to US input language.

xorg.conf:

XkbLayout "us"

US language must be use always as mandatory language.
Any another language must be added as next language.

xorg.conf:

XkbLayout  "us,ru(winkeys)"
XkbOptions "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"

I just installed Elive stable and when I reboot and try to login, Elive tells me that my password is incorrect (I tryed it a lot of times, included in failsafe mode)

Cinelerra won’t launch for me using the latest e17 from the “tests” branch of the Elive repos (it has never launched, even when I tried
it under the default e17 from Gem).

When I try to run it, I get a small, transparent window in the upper
left corner of my screen. When I close that window, I get this error
message:

“Application Execution Error: Cinelerra stopped running unexpectedly.
There was no error message. An exit code of 1 was /usr/bin/cinelerra.”

By the way, it does launch under e16, but with an error message about memory...

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.....

....and nothing else happens :(

I have sent a copy of lsmod.txt to Thanatermesis

Thanks!

Please upgrade to the new enlightenment, this version is completely obsolete.

Hi all!
I’ve try to capture whit kino, but give me this error:

WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or faliure to read/write /dev/raw1394!

what can i do?
thanx!!!

A tool for changing user and groups preferences is not available in elive even if it shows in the menu.

Installed 1.8.2 on an HP Pavilion, the touch pad is fine but when the USB mouse is plugged in it won’t pull up application menu’s, or it will pull them up REAL fast and then close them when you release the button. What they do seems consistant of the application like Firefox3 won’t pull up the pull down menu’s where as Pidgin will come up with menu’s but hide them when you let go of the mouse button.

This is new when 1.8.2 was installed from previous version.

All those icons look crap in ibox...
they need to be changed with higher res ones..

1. Pidgin
2. Transmission
3. Cream
4. icedove (not so nice icon)
5. Avidemux
6. meld
7. nicotine
8. amule
9. synaptic
10. openoffice’s
11. please try all the icons of elive and see yourself, lazy !

Those among all the ones i have installed.

a patch from debian (about xscreensaver) made it that doesn’t run, rebuild mplayer (patch to remove patch actually added to the builder of packages of elive)

When the install is finished and the update script has run - then it displays “News in elive”, but displays News for elive 1.9.02.

It would be also nice to have a small gui for ndiswrapper, an ncurses one would be nice, so that user can find the inf file and install comfortably from a gui.

• If you plug a linux* disk, thunar (exo-utils) mount it without uuid=user mode (so root owner),

this not looks like to be very correct, user can’t access/modify files

• If you insert a Cdrom to record it (like cdrw), brasero (burner) doesn’t has permissions to do anything with it,

thunar doesn’t has also a “umount” option but that’s other case

• remember that big problems requires big solutions
