Elive

.xsession-errors file of the home of the users, contains the logs of the X when they are running, this should be removed at every e17 startup

Hi,
I update my stable version and my NVIDIA card not run actually.
I would compil the nvidia-kernel to resolv this problem but it’s impossible (problem whit gcc version).

Could be nice and not very hard to implement an automatic tracer reporter, this means, a kind of pre-launcher for the interface (bash that calls the python code) with waiting error trace messages, if there’s these messages, they will be send to... somewhere, in some way

What you think ?

Thanks to the report of DronAn[BY], aparently the connect and disconnect buttons has dissapeared, there’s a few screenshots:

http://bayimg.com/BaDfkaAcf http://bayimg.com/BADFnAacF

The reason of this is the russian language that screws something somewhere... there’s an error message found in the terminal:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I don’t know the reason of why this affects the button and no other parts of the interface (see screenshot), but for now, since this is a very important bug (some ppl will not connect!), i have just disabled from gettext the message that broke this :) (note: the broking thing is not the button message but other element, please see the commit in this ticket comments)

After to upgrade net-connector im unable to use it (daemon not running aparently), the daemon doesn’t want to start (init.d) because there’s teh file /var/run/net-connectord.pid existing, if this doesn’t do any problem, i will recommend to remove it at every “stop” action of the daemon (+ kill/close any possible daemon running), maybe also at every “start” of the daemon ? so i dont think that there will be a problem to restart the daemon (connection doesn’t drops, if im not wrong)

problems getting Intel Wireless pro 5100AGN card working. According to all wiki the iwlagn module and mac8*** module required to run these cards should be built into the kernel but not there and for some reason elive doesn’t allow its installation. The iwlagn module is different from the iwp module.

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.

When installing elive 1.9.39 from the live cd creating a boot partition, the installer stops with an error stating that there is not enough free space on the hd.
i used a 60gb hd entirely dedicated to elive.
40 mb /boot (reiserfs)
3.5 gb / (reiserfs)
56.5 gb /home (xfs)

any thoughts?

It is needed to set some extra configurations for when there’s Intel cards in Elive Compiz:

• change mplayer conf to use X11 (or GL is better option?), and set the zoom ON
• Update: set the X11 or GL as a choice for the user (in case of any elive-compiz, not only intel), explaining how to configure it later and what’s the difference between them
• xine: use xshm or gl output (ask to the user too, or better, include the answer of the previous question for selection there too)
• gstreamer-properties for configure gstreamer to use X11 instead of XV
• xorg: set XAA instead of EXA (see deliver configuration for eeepc)
• export INTEL_BATCH=1 in /etc/profile
• set a different launcher for skype (.desktop) that uses: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=4417cd748721d80e99c902e2857eb6d8&showtopic=328901&st=0&p=1622441&#entry1622441

When asking to create a user - it might be a good idea to ask if the installer should create more users.

This could be useful if it was to be installed on a family computer.

(Something along the lines of the request to add more partitions when partitioning the hard disk)

When installing on a HP Pavilion dv6000, sl-modem-daemon (and sl-modem-modules-KERNEL) gets installed, and they mess up the fine tune process.

Sometimes it just freezes and goes no further but sometimes it produces a kernel oops.

I’ve removed the sl-modem-daemon and modules since I have no use for it (and I cannot turn off the modem in the bios of the laptop).
And now the fine tune just completed.

(a newcomer might not realize what to do to make it work and then give up on the installation)

If you partition up your disk and want /boot to be JFS then Grub just shows the “Grub is now loading” with the “Stage 1.5” at the top.

I’ve tried to load up the livecd and mount and chroot into the installed environment to run grub manually, but that does not work either.

This is both for elive 1.9.36-compiz and the .37 non-compiz.

Version 1.9.38(18/08/09) , boot problems , no graphical system , single boot: option (Failsafe boot problems).
After install, no usplash.

don’t have tty1,2,3,4,5,6
when I press < ctrl + alt + F2,3,4,5,6 > I just see a black screen with blinking cursor on top left ( no login ). Pressing < ctrl + alt + F1 > I see boot logs, but not login. ‘ps -A | grep getty’ gives me no results. In /etc/inittab tty lines are uncommented and the file was not modified.
version 1.9.31 upgraded with ‘aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude dist-upgrade’ the problem was the same before upgrade too.
The problem/bug happen on my both pc desktop and netbook aspire1

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.

Hi!

I miss this Application in Elive deve. , we need such a Programme to Brows other shares in our Network, especially shares that have user name and Password (Protected shares).

Please install either this Programme or any other similar one.

Hi!

Would you please add this Resolution to Elive:

1920×1080 , this should be directly recognized by start of Elive.

Thank you very much

Hi!

Can you please add this Driver of this Printer to Elive, it is a great Printer. The Link of the Driver is:

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031118.asp?model=

There is a simple instruction how to add this Driver and the Printer to Debian, but it did not work for me well, i had to start cups whenever i want to print out somthing, and under the superuser mode. This is the Link for it :

Thank you very much.

See diff for /etc/init.d/eeepc-elive-scripts:

#diff eeepc-elive-scripts.old eeepc-elive-scripts
23c23
< echo -n 1 » /proc/acpi/asus/camera 2>/dev/null
—

echo -n 1 » /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera 2>/dev/null

Reason: 2.6.26 and later kernel has moved /proc/acpi/asus to /sys/devices/platform/eeepc

I will check also other scripts, volume, brightness, etc...

I like using “Sticky mode” (i.e. traditional X sticky so it sticks on all desktops)because I keep one terminal window with a screen session on all desktops.

When setting “Sticky mode” for a window, window often spontaneously disappears or moves somewhere else. Temporary solution is to left-click on desktop and click “Lost Windows” and find it there. The window will then usually be found on desktop 0:1.

I am using dual-monitor configuration with both monitors as one desktop with elive-compiz. I do not have this problem on single-screen elive-compiz on a laptop, so this is probably some kind of issue with X and twinview/xinerama.

Thanks for the most awesome distro ever.

The spaces on the ESSID is not fully supported, on some pieces of the interface (list of essid’s and status) are only show the first word, the good point is that it does connect correctly here (essid is “scg & volcanica”), but the status looks like are not correctly showed (like it not connected).

This is a minor-preference bug

It would be nice to have a multimedia manager on the style of itunes added to elive repositories:
Its a while i’ve been using Songbird and it really works amazingly, much better than rhythmbox
At the moment is available as a tar.gz, but is a precompiled executable, just depack in /usr/local/bin/ and you are good to go, but it would be nice to have it added as a .deb to elive repositories.

run this command from the live mode using CDROM (no usb): dmesg | grep -i error | grep “I/O” and please paste in the comments a block of ‘code’ mode the result
