Elive

installing unofficial packages is a very bad practice, it can broke the system. We need to notice the user with a popup in gdebi about this issue.

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

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf

+BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 3"
+LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15"
+BRIGHTNESS-OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness"

this is the most up to date and correct link to be set up in laptop-mode tools.

While booting numlock doesn’t enable this could be handy for passwords

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

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

Well every time you change the theme, the GTK switcher appears and the startup sound is quite annoying.

I`m running 1.9.56 development Version on my Laptop with a X1300 Mobility radeon.
Compiz works under Ubuntu 9.10 out of the box. I use there the OSS ati driver.

On Elive there seems to be a bug with the included ati driver. I’ve tried several Notebooks with ATI graphic cards. None of them worked.
On every machine I’ve got the following message:

$> ecomorph 
ecomorph (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
ecomorph (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
ecomorph (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

a compiz-check shows, that everything should be ok:

$> compiz-check

To manualy compile the driver won’t work. It aborts.

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

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

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 ?

amsn in svn now supports audio conferencing as well as audio video calls.
also is very stable.
tested in ubuntulu

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.

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

Hi all!
I’ve try to capture whit kino, but give me this error:

WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or faliure to read/write /dev/raw1394!

what can i do?
thanx!!!

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.

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...

a back button is needed in during the installation progress

When creating a DB in libreOffice base you get loads of errors.

It can be helped by installing

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb

this maybe included in the next beta

1.9.42 compiz live cd cant boot up, the machine get frizzed with this error msg on screen:

I have to say that on 1.0 this realtek (RTL-8185) pci wifi board didnt work (the system did not recognized it), but livecd have been loaded ok, the instalation was ok, and the system was full working
On 1.9.50 / 51 the wifiboard works perfectly
