Using IceWeasel 2.0.0.3-1-2 (elive repository) extensions are forcedfully added for known fyletypes. Given a file filename.pdf, once downloaded it will be called filename.pdf.pdf, unles the user removes the extension in the file save dialog. I’ve seen the same behaviour with ppt, doc, tgz and other kind of files.
Unknown extensions are preserved with no problem (edj files).

kernel module missing for:

This prevents installation on systems with this card.

I believe that support is added for this controller in newer Linux kernels

Keyboard layout selection doesn’t work at grub menu

The eap file of Elitaire is wrong. The executable “Elitaire”, must be “elitaire”

During my install of Elive from the development live cd, the text box came first, then the choice box came under it, hidden. I may have clicked the text box as the choice came up, causing this trouble. When nothing seemed to happen, I moved the box to find the choices underneath. Possible confusion, If the choice comes out beside and visible, no more trouble...

When the keyboard layout is changed from the elive panel, it is not changed on ttys. The layout is changed in X but the keyboard is always qwerty on ttys.

It would be useful to be able to choose a partition for /home without formatting it during the elive installation

after updating to unstable, /home/myuseraccount is gone, creating a new user works and after reboot new user is gone and old account is back

Tried Elive on a cd. works great. Loaded Elive using the installer on the cd and all went well. I rebooted after it finished, I type in my user name and password and hit enter. The system will go down for a second and Elive will start again and the process starts all over. I cannot log in. Any help would be great.....

I don’t know why I can’t get dual screen (monitors) setup in Elive one is an lcd the other is a regular monitor...I got them both working in Ubuntu...Video card is 512MB Nvidia GeForce 6800...With three outs 1.VGA monitor connector 2.TV/S- HDTV connector 3.DVI connector...The monitor connected to DVI is the one that doesn’t work...VGA works fine...Haven’t tried TV/s-HDTV yet...I’m using the new Nvidia driver also.

Thanks for a distro that has wireless working right out of the box, and flash, and quicktime, and even avi playing. But that is even a little flaky. But it wont play dvd’s using mplayer or oxine, or any of the players that are on the rep. I have a compaq armada notebook that needs all networking connections working, internet working and I want my multimedia. Thanks for the try but I’m moving down the road to the next distro...One of these will work like it should....good luck

Hi, it is not a big bug,

after installing the Live CD to my system (Think Pad T22) the system didn’t work.
so i go through the config files, and there it was, in grub there was the first mistake, the drive was labeled there as sda2 and had to be hda2.
The same mistakes were in fstab, all drives were labeled with sda where hda were recommanded.
As i fixed it manual Elive workes grate for me.

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

My intel card GM965 x3100 don’t run ok. It’s a strange resolution.
The 3D acelerated it’s ok.

Ejecting of media (usb key) gives following error message:

“Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL.”

my “Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC” onboard ethernet adapter works fine with any other distro. Even in Debian. But none of the Elive it does not work. in Debian 4.0 R3 it worked. if Elive is Debian based it should work on Elive too. Right?

When using Exalt to setup wifi, if the user chooses WEP, the text for the channel selection partially appears, but there is no block to set the channel. Also will not permit user to apply and save settings. Suspect the two are related. I have enlarged the box to see if it uncovers the channel block, but it does not.

I was not able to access the bookmarks on the Iceweasel and I was not able to use the right button on the mouse on my Toshiba laptop

i was not able top open the bookmarks on Iceweasel, I also was not able to use the right button on the mouse to copy and paste. I got a crash when trying to remove the clock from the desktop.
This was only a problem on the toshiba laptop on the PC every thing works fine

Inside Elive 1.7.7, the wifi gadget has password problems. It doesn’t seem to like the password I type, I am trying to use a hex key, but because of the input mask, my password does not work (the apply box is grayed out)

The input mask needs to be removed or edited, to better fix this issue.
