Users corner Are you sure you chose the right wallpaper with gsetroot(the GUI for esetroot)?Pay attention to the gsetroot's settings from the bottom where you can choose how to be set the chosen wallpaper:center,fullscreen,etc.
All the gsetroot's settings disappear at every logout,reboot or shutdown.

Users corner Implementing the special compiz version in the main Elive (unstable/develpment) was the best choice.
I knew it that sometime E17-Compiz(Ecomorph module) will become a default in Elive in the end.
That gives me hope the Elive 2 Final will be the same?

Compiz version Very nice desktop too klamath.Use the invisible theme from gkrellm>configuration>themes and then install gsetroot
apt-get install gsetroot
,then run in the terminal
gsetroot
,open the images directory,choose your background wallpaper,open>apply.
That's the only way to have the full transparency in the buggy beta forever E17.
If you want your terminal(URxvt) full transparent to

Users corner Does anyone else use the new Reiser4 filesystem?Do you have any problems and what?
For me it is very buggy and unstable and I reinstall freshly on lzo compression.The system freezes totally very often,ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't help,only a forced reboot,and my pppoe internet connection is very slow and unstable.
I haven't these problems with 1.9.50,only with the latest 1.9.51.

[OLD] - Installed Mode No,it just keeps your home data and user(username and password),but in rest it cleans up the whole system,installed programs and settings.
It's almost like a fresh install actally.

[OLD] - Installed Mode I have upgraded to 1.9.51 by the new way,iso from the hdd,it worked very well for me,exactly like a normal upgrade with a new burned cd.But for the beginning this latest release seems to be the most buggy and unstable to my system,it freezes often and the whole system not only the desktop or the E17.You can't do anything with ctrl+alt+backspace,it doesn't help,only a forced reboot unfor

[OLD] - Installed Mode You were right,I had to get rid of conky,it became very buggy in 1.9.51 version.Only the gkrellm still works perfectly in Elive.

Users corner Yes,you can just say that gkrellm was made for elive;anyway conky is very hard to implement in elive,to much incompatible with elive's desktop and e17.You need to make many changes in /etc/conky/conkyconfig.I saw conky runing much better in OpenGEU,maybe because it's based on Ubuntu.
In my Ubuntu 9.10 beta conky works great,in gnome and fluxbox too.

Users corner That's gkrellm2(with the invisible theme and lots of plugins).You can install all of them from synaptics.
But I'm using conky too,near to it.
Here's another update,with more plugins,aclock to the top and flag to the bottom:
I'm thinking to make some new changes in the .conkyrc/conkyconfig file again too.
I get bored very easily with a same look of the desktop everyd

Good Experiencies Thanks!Anyway I understood since last night when I already installed Elive 1.9.50 with Reiser4 default(too bad I didn't choose with gzip compression) and it's runing very well,I installed ecomorph too.I'll see today more testings.

[OLD] - Installed Mode I could install gyachi1.48 on elive with full success and functional.I noticed that the apps for ubuntu hardy or ibex have the most chances to work on elive too.Don't try those ones for jaunty or even sid.

Applications Maybe you have installed the wrong driver for your gpu card?What nvidia card do you have?New one,old one,pcie,agp8x,etc.
Always just more details.

Compiz version Wich one of the new filesystem types,Ext4 and ReiserFS4,would be much better,properly,faster or stable for a fresh Elive install or upgrade?
I heard that Thanatermesis is a reiserfs fan and supporter for Elive's filesystem.
Personally I used ext3 type untill now.

Compiz version This is how my webcam works in Elive Compiz with Cheese:.
and with Skype:
I wonder how it works with the newest Elive standard kernel.
I mention that in Ubuntu Jaunty it works perfectly with cheese.
Even my Kworld USB TV Tuner(Kworld Plus Analog USB Stick Kworld's Hypermedia Center)PVR-TV 305U doesn't work at all.
Does anyone know a better app than cheese?

Pluggable Devices That's why I always use only the USA English,despite the fact I'm an ignorant romanian peasant.
The local translations make me confused and laugh all the time.
At least for the moment the international official language of the internet and IT is english.
(And the hackers' too.).

Other Suggestions Speeding Firefox:
Type "about:config" in the top field,filter for "mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines",double-click on the line to set the value to "false".
Double-click the "mousewheel.withnokey.numlines" too to set the new value to 6.
You can also disable the IPv6 to the value "true".

[OLD] - Installed Mode Powernowd can be disabled from bootupmanager or remove it completely in the old fashion way:
from via synaptic,or terminal
apt-get remove --purge powernowd
Anyway I noticed too that standard elive is much more stable than elive compiz.

Other Suggestions Totally in agreement!
Anyway I must confess that was OpenGEU 8.04.1 Amd64 who opened my appetite for the beautifull and wonderfull E17 first time last past year.But immediately after one month just,I tried for the first time Elive 1 Gem,...;and here I am now,yet.

Good Experiencies From my personal experience all my system freezings was results of e17 bugs,wrong installed video drivers and even powernowd app's bugs.
I allways disable or remove the powernowd app after each new fresh system install.
Anyway it's useless in desktop machines.

Other Suggestions I'm totally in agreement.In this way Elive Amd64 version will definitely surpass OpenGEU Amd64,once for ever.I know many linux and e17 users who still stick with opengeu,and stay away of elive because of that.
Last year I was an OpenGEU Amd64 8.04.1 user for a while for the same reason.But after I tried elive 1 gem for the first time...;here I am now,yet.
