Elive

xrandr / e17 screen confs are not restored after to have played a game or launched some applications that changes the screen sizes

Try for example with “smc” (super mario chronicles) package in debian

WARNING: “cd .e ; bkp s”, it will broke your e17 conf

Note: maybe only in xinerama ?

<Elive_user_en_18> when selecting english Canada changes to French Canada

This report seems to reffer to wizard languages selector I assume

English is english, so french canada is wrong (note that canada has french and english, betatest too if the keyboard is correctly set too)

You said recently that you have found the cause of the bug where teh windwos are positioned in the first screen (xinerama) when looking at something else about borders?, but i still having the bug around, did you commited the fix ?

The intel pro 5100 wifi card doesn’t work with Elive. There is an Intel driver : intel linux driver but I’m a newbie and I don’t know how to install it ... Somebody can help me ? thanks!

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

No funciona la conexión punto a punto
Thank you

By default if you play a DVD and enable subtitles in VLC, they looks ugly as 2 hells, I think that this can be solved in the settings (advanced/all?), we need to play / beta-test a bit to see a solution for that

If you open terminal from thunar, which is assigned to urxvt, the colors theme is not considered, it doesn’t read our .Xdefaults file ?

The needed “features” for upgrading system from ISO (CD or HDD ISO):

- let the gadgets be as they were before
- let the background be as it was
- lost the hotkey setup from the keyboard shortcuts made by myself
- lost the installed applications, they’re still on HDD but they’re not installed

Multiple reports:

- If you run the upgrade mode with the beta version, it doesnt seems to boot it (file not found)

- The entry from grub is not removed after the first (any state) reboot

- The installer of 3.0 needs to be adapted

If U end some dialogs from setup panel without exit as expected - for example not to wait for EXIT button and end it with close window or ESC, there is E17 error appeared..

Kill tumblerd always before umounting a partition

With the 2.9.18 upgrade the timezone is off with 1 hour.

After changing resolution or frequency with the Screen Resolution Setting box the tick mark doesn’t change it’s place. However it marks the proper option after closing and reopening this box.

OS: Elive Topaz+ (beta)
Arch: 32bit (x86)
update status: Fully up to date as per official elive repos.

how to reproduce:
Open a folder in Thunar, right click, point at create document = window manager freeze (Entrance?)

heres a video for demonstration:

If you put the laptop to suspend, when you put it back you cannot browse shared folders, this happens on my acer-aspire-one laptop in live mode at least

Maybe there’s a post-suspend hook/script that needs to be added for reload sambasomething ?

This workaround in needed for these models 3400

root $ echo “options snd_hda_intel model=auto” » /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ; rmmod snd_hda_intel ; modprobe snd_hda_intel

Hi!
Today I’m posting things I noticed during last weeks that might need some Improvement:

-Streaming Sound via Bluetooth without manually setting pcm-device=bluetooth

-Thumbnail-Preview for iBox

-Lowering default Startup-Sound volume in LiveCD

-Mention Intel-Mac-ONLY on website!!

Thanks.

some error messages when you run smb-usershare are shown in the terminal, but not graphically, this can be a problem when the user is running the application from graphical mode only (menu applications launchers).

In my case, just repackaging it for the new version i found these messages:

Lacking to install the “samba” package:

net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No existe el fichero o el directorio
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smb-usershare", line 580, in <module>
    gui.msgbox(START_MSG)
TypeError: msgbox() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

Lacking to add the user to “samba” (sudo adduser me sambashare), i comment the exact parameter because maybe is a good idea to request the root password via “gksu” tool to do it for the user

net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permiso denegado
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smb-usershare", line 580, in <module>
    gui.msgbox(START_MSG)
TypeError: msgbox() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

smbmount is required for smb-browser, but the package smbfs is not available in debian wheezy right now, i’m not sure why, maybe is replaced by the package cifs-utils, or maybe it enters back in the future (release of wheezy stable), in any of the cases i leave this report opened to know that something needs to be fixed around :), which means adapt smb-browser to the new tool or get some kind of port

PS: in any of the cases, smb-browser is not a strict requirement for Elive since thunar is able now to browse samba networks in a friendly way

after to create a user in samba (previously on my system), i can’t share folders anymore”, and this message:

$ smb-usershare -p princeamd/                           % 
net usershare: usershares are currently disabled
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/smb-usershare", line 580, in <module>
  gui.msgbox(START_MSG)
 TypeError: msgbox() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

When trying to share folders in the file-manager, it doesn’t allow you to share it as read-write mode, the permissions are correctly set to the folder to be writable by anyone

PLEASE be describable, clear, and direct. Think that we need to understand, found, and solve the bug.

I would like to request that 802.1x authentification be added to the wireless network connector utility. The company where I work uses this mode of wireless authentification. It would be a great convenience to me at work, as I have to use a wired connection otherwise.

Users should not remove essential packages, but they do...

We will need some kind of feature that at shutdown (more reliable than boot-time) will check if we have removed any essential-elive package and asks if restore it

Hi

Just wondering if there is a way to get elive to access a wireless network using Protected EAP (PEAP) as WPA authentication.

I have installed FreeRadius from synaptic but don’t know how to configure it.
