Hello all!
I am new to linux, and I am trying to find distro that will be perfect for me. For now I used ubuntu(now i think of it as most perfect), xubuntu, mandriva, gos. What is always makes me mad is if it cant connect to internet without console work, and detect audio card properly. I have installed Elive 2.0. yesterday and it frustrated me because many problems!
1. It didn't couldn't play anything untill i used alsaconf, then ok.. But I don't know if it is good, because I have audigy zs 7.1 card and I don't know will it be able to use all its channels. But it is bad that it couldnt be configured in standard mixer(maybe it should be replaced with ubuntu 10.04's mixer? there is perfect!)
2. I have two hard drivers one 160 gb which I use as boot drive, where elive is. Second is 250gb and when I installed elive it was NTFS, i guess thats why it named it Windows. So as i seen from message in live mode that NTFS is not stable file system for elive i decided to reformat it to ext3. I went to partition editor ,unmounted that drive, formatted it. But then there is no button "MOUNT"??? I was surpised...because in ubuntu it was also very easy to unmount, format, mount drives..
and now what i have is that Thunar shows that I have drive named Windows! It is not working surely. And in partition editor i tried to make flag for drive then it trying to mount it! aliluya! but it says I cant mount this drive! fuck..
3. But these two upper problems are just fine if not the third! It is PPPoE that dont work properly in Elive!!! fuck... By default there is adsl/pppoe configurator??? yes??? but it not working AT ALL. It just dont open. It says about error!
So I found somewhere in forums that i can use pppoeconf to configure! great! it works! It worked in xubuntu perfectly (where pppoe also didnt worked by default..). So I configured it through pppoeconf and yes, alliluya it work! But one big
- when i connect to internet and go to any site, after about 30 second my computer freezes! fuck! I used plog command to check what is there and it print that modem hangs??? but you know there is no fucking modem...
So i decided that pppoe driver in elive is bad and I tried to install new pppoe driver from roaring penguin site. But when I begin installation it says that C compiler is not found in system! fuck! it installed easily in xubuntu.. I think that installing c compiler is too hard for my experienced person...
So i am writing this from ubuntu live cd! I like elive and dont want to use unubtu..but it seems that it is most useable..
p.s. my system spec is
P4 3.0Hz
1 Gb ram
asus motherboard
160 gb drive and 250 gb drive.
nvidia videocard 256 ram
