Elive

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):

Chromium complains about outdated flash version, like in www.electroswing-radio.com , there’s some bugs reported in debian (bts show chromium), so we need to wait the release of debian first to see what happens with this

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

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

I just tried to use Google Talk for videoconference (calls) but seems to not work, I tried it on chrome and even installed a .deb package provided by google, it complains about that is not correctly installed or something similar, I will need to make future look to it

PrinceAMD has a computer which when kms loads, the console turns blank, user can’t see anything, but the system continue booting correctly (1-2 minutes in blank)

Maybe should be good to add a boot option in the live menu with this entry: nomodeset that solves the problem, for those cases

Lastest e17, after to finish wizard go fast to the applications menu and scroll it, e17 freezes

This bug reported by AlexAnteMachina has nothing to do with composite, not even with vbox, I tried it in laptop and e17 simply gets frozen, seems like X11 is died, very strange bug! even with my libs updated without the optimize options (please somebody confirm that we have debug messages now), there’s simply no way to get a backtrace because everything is blocked (well, you can kill X11, but you lose everything)

Maybe there’s not even needed to select German language, it looks like an efreet bug

This is another bug, but seems like caused by the same reason, sometimes, and just sometimes, e17 starts looking like this (some hang in the startup of efreet, or uncomplete or similar, idk)

A restart of e17 will solve the problem, but is not a good way to start e17 of course

Another bug: if you install eltrans (here is elive in version 2.1.40), and you try to open the menus, it becomes frozen

Seems like wifi doesn’t automatically connect when i come back from suspension and im in another location (and I enable the wifi power-button later too), i need to open the internet configurator emodule for to start/open the Network-manager applet (note that by default is removed in order to save some resources consumption and memory usage.

The question is... do we need this nm-applet running all the time so that the network will be correctly connected/updated all the time? this sounds for me non-sense since there’s a daemon of NM, the applect should be only for manual selection or configuration of things, otherwise a daemon should works a daemon.

It happens to you too ?

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

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 ?

Users are used of the left-click in desktop (or in a Start button), but not the right now which is the one is actually assigned the e17 menu popup

This must be changed, since we don’t use the “favorites” anymore in e17

Thanks Tio for this report

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

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 ?

In laptop of sapi, there’s an hdmi entry that is not a real card, in order to preselect it correctly we could list the channels and see if has any valid entry, for example this wrong one has:

~ amixer
Simple mixer control ‘IEC958’,0

Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off]

~

Kill tumblerd always before umounting a partition

~ ps aux | grep 30017

seem vbox is out of date with this really new kernel so the vboxdrv modules segf somewhere in the kernel, I suggest using a kernel that is supported by vbox, this problem is only with vbox.

Thenuxnewbie (princeamd’s friend?) reported a crash on e17 “trying to move gadgets from shelf” he said, attached crasdump file

<Thenuxnewbie> im on wifi and i just noticed something, it would allow me to remove the gadget as long as the wifi signal strength isn’t displayed in what i presume is the system tray
<Thenuxnewbie> but as long as it’s showing signal strength bar, trying to remove the gadged crashes e17

So try to remove the wifi widget with the systray active to reproduce the bug

<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)

Try to reproduce:

- /etc/default/keyboard is set to “es” - configure E to use US instead
- when you restart e17 is set back to ES

Note: use a new elive install, which sets correctly all those things

There’s multiple packages on gimp for edit raw files, we need to know which one to include (betatesting)

In my thinkpad laptop, if i run wizard (new .e) i got the audio configurator that asks me twice, see if this happens after to upgrade to 3.0-rc

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:
External Link

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

I’ve noticed something with the tabs and windows in chromium that u might find interesting :)

Chromium ‘bugs’ with handling from one instance tab → window → another instance tab http://mwow.dk/data/action/vid/this-1-1.ogv

This bug happens since some update of chromium in debian wheezy, 35.0.1916.153-1~deb7u1, it works with the previous version 34.0.1847.116-1~deb7u1
