Elive

Elive 1.9.0.5
Kernel 2.6.25.16-elive-i686
Thoshiba Sattelite L40
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 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.

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.

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!

Made something nice to made working by default wacom devices in Elive

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.

Upgraded to 1.9.10 and REAL NICE, saved all old data, even OZ themes with animated wallpaper that I had to configure previously.
I would like to recommend that the “profile name field” be filled in the network connector default such as “eliveuser” as the network does not work because the field is blank.
Upgrade did not remove Exalt from menu, just the icon.
I know you are working on network Icon so I won’t ask.
Beautiful, smoooth, upgrade!

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.

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

We have the need for a working net-connector as soon as possible in order to iron out all the bugs
I would suggest that LinuxNit does the packaging himself in order to provide always up to date packages, this package should be labeled net-connector-dev in order to prevent normal users to install if not willing.

When on the road and staying at hotels - it becomes necessary to connect to their unencrypted networks, but net-connector from the control panel refuses to connect to unencrypted networks.

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

tried to install:
kdepim_3.5.5.dfsg.1-6_all.deb from file manager

Failed to run gdebi-gtk ‘–non-interactive’ ‘/home/r/Downloads/firefox/kdepim_3.5.5.dfsg.1-6_all.deb’ as user root.

Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.

amsn in svn now supports audio conferencing as well as audio video calls.
also is very stable.
tested in ubuntulu

merge the eeepc configuration for eeepc with the original e17 configuration, there’s wrong things like setvolume hotkeys

try to made the capture mode for the mic enabled by default (skype and other apps working out of the box then)

put a script for the after-suspend step that just call the daemon with a option to “refresh” or something like this

Elive Gem run in my computer,
but is not possible to install 1.9.14 in my computer (acer travelmate alpha-550 -256M ram), is not possible to choose the right resilution video

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.

2007, 2.14Ghz Macbook (white) does not connect to wep hex network on the livecd.
LSPCI:

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros COmmunications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

net-connector simply tries to connect then stops trying.
iwconfig essid name key yeahitshere gives the following error:
Error for wireless request “Set Encode” (8B2A): SET failed on device ath0 ; Operation not supported.

All the problems I have with net-connector since I have started using it, have been ironed out very very fast. I know only have one known minor issue in that I can select wlan0 from eth0 and both are running. I have to disconnect eth0 first then select wlan0 then things are good. The side affects of both running is that pages load very slowly, you think that your card is the problem. Once disconnecting from one then selecting the other things run great. Just thinking of the new users that will get there first experience with Elive 2.0, not myself as I don’t mind dealing with miner issues myself.

Using skype, I discovered the webcam works but the built in microphones do not. The exact model number of this laptop is dv6768se.

when i start in livecd or installed mode i can’t get more than 800×600 in the graphics mode, tried:
graphical-configuration-suite changedriver trident
graphical-configuration-suite resolution 1024×768

but doesn’t work.
my xorg.conf is this: http://debian.pastebin.com/m4ae22372

my laptop is a Gateway solo 9100 with a Trident Microsystems Cyber 9397 who work in Elive 1.0
