Elive

If i use slovenian language keyboard all the keys dont work. There are only few keys working. Aproximatly 10 keys. If i use english language all keys are working but i dont have then support for special regional letters like (Š???Ž)

I noticed this problem in all elive version (stable and development)

This is a picture how the layout is looking like

There’s a big problem with the updates of the system that will broke the graphical system, this bug has Critical severity

The problem is that, if you upgrade your system, it will update the GLX package of your ati/nvidia drivers, this means, that you will have a X version of the kernel with an ati (or nvidia) module in the version Y, that is incompatible with the updated version Z of the GLX package

To solve that problem, I have used all this time a block (hold mark) of the GLX package (the user should have the same kernel all the time)

But the problem is, for example, that if the user update the system that include an updated kernel, and an update of the ati kernel module, the GLX package for ati is not updated so it is incompatible and the user can’t reach the graphical system

Actual case: updated system: update the kernel, but the packages fglrx-driver, fglrx-glx and fglrx-kernel-2.3.26.8-elive-686 are holded, so not updated, the kernel can’t simply load that old version of the ati driver and the user can’t reach the graphical system

If we hold the packages, there’s the problem that everything needs to be updated (so, do not hold anything) in order to work correctly. But if we don’t lock them, also if the user upgrade the system, will use the same version of the kernel, so then the ati GLX package will be updated and not work with the old kernel/module, the only solution for that and everything is that update the version of the kernel too (with a virtual-package for example)... this was requested by some users but, it is a good idea ? what happens if a user dont want to update his kernel ? what about if a version of the kernel mades the computer of a user to NOT boot or not work ? and finally... the grub menu needs to be updated on that case then

Comments about this problematic issue ?

On the latest Elive testing ISO (1.9.24), the system fails to boot since it can’t detect the base system. Debian Lenny also does the same thing.

I asked on the Debian IRC and apparently there is no support for my cd drive in the 2.6.26 kernel. I’d like this added so I can boot elive. might as well just update to a newer kernel if you ask me (but that’s not my place).

Elive Gem works fine. If you want I can provide additional information.

Synaptic or root terminal will not open. asks for root password, then it dissappears. I’m kind of stuck if I cant get to either of those.....

Acer Aspire One A110L support lacking.
Elive CD Development 1.9.31 iso downloaded and transferred to USB as per the Linux instructions.
Upon boot, system hangs after populating the udev framework, if there is a FAT32 formatted SD card in either the left or the right internal card reader.
If the SD card is not present, boot continues so keymap and resolution can be selected.

After bypassing  bug 413  (http://bugs.elivecd.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=413&project=2&order=dateopened&sort=desc) and booting without an SD card present, keymap selection and resolution selection can take place.
After X starts up, and the Enlightment desktop displays, the system will shut down after about 30 seconds to 1 minute, whether one uses the system or not.

I think it might be related to the loading of both acer-wmi and MadWifi, since they are known not to play nice together. Other distros such as ubuntu blacklist acer-wmi for the Acer Aspire One models. Using geubuntu (a E17 based ubuntu distro) no such shutdown happens.

Further debugging is not possible, since any logfiles are gone when the system shuts down.

Hello,
i ask for a features, because the terminla on Elive, not cool!
we need the best of the terminal :

Terminator: A multi-view terminal

Terminator gives the possibility of having multiples terminal within the sa
As such, it makes it easier to handle multiple terminal sessions as for instance, working in one console and monitoring another one without constantly switching from a window to another.

At the moment, Terminator is available for Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Sid. Anyhow, the source are available from https://launchpad.net/terminator/+download. Once installed, you can start a new terminator session by executing terminator :).
From there, you will be able to split views either by Right-Clicking on a terminal view or by typing the following keybindings:
terminator: terminator multi-view terminalterminator: terminator multi-view terminal

• Ctrl-Shift-E: will split the view vertically.
• Ctrl-Shift-O: will split the view horizontally.
• Ctrl-Shift-P: will focus be active on the previous view.
• Ctrl-Shift-N: will focus be active on the next view.
• Ctrl-Shift-W: will close the view where the focus is on.
• Ctrl-Shift-Q: will exit terminator.
• F11: will make terminator go fullscreen.

i hope i can see it on the next release, what do u think about this?

Hello, i don’t know if u have seen, but when u quit Elive, u have the screen with elive started, but elive quit, maybe a bug?

Hi!

I installed today the last Elive dev. Version elive_1.9.37_unstabl , when i tried to Drag and Drop the Icon of Streamtuner in the IBar, the IBar got Crashed and did not appear again.

Please Fix this Problem.

Hi!

I noticed yesterday when i tried after 2 hours of working on Elive (last Dev. Version elive_1.9.37_unstable) to restart my X-server, that the x-server restarts, but it keeps can’t loging in in my system again, and show me just the Black Screen. I have Nvidia Graphic Card, i user the Nvidia Driver shipped with Elive, but not the last one ( the one with Graphic Card up to 512M RAM) my Graphic Card is Nvidia FX 5200 AGP, and the resolution of my Monitor is 1920×1080 Full HD , Viewsonic Flat screen. I had at last to restart my system by pressing at one Ctrl-alt- del combination to restart the estem, because the system did not want to give me anyone of the other console modes to login and do anything. By the way, i added my xorg.conf to add my resolution manually. thats all what i did. Please repare this Problem.

Best Regards,

This might be considered both a bug and a feature request, depending on your point of wiev.

It is (as of verision 1.9.37, as far as I know also in 1.9.39) impossible to connect to wireless networks protected by WEP encryption using a shared key (as opposed to having an open system).

In the standard connection/network manager application this seems to be due to the fact that there is no oprion to actually set the encryption of a WEP-protected network to “shared” as you don’t get any options besides condifuring the key used (i.e. you can’t select the key index, key number etc).

However, even after switching network management software to something more complete/full-featured (such as Wicd, which I tested) and configuring the connection properly the problem persist, in that it refuses to connect.

The midnight commander is missing. That is the most essential tool around!
