@Rebel450 I have the same machine and specs. I installed with option Riser4 instead of EXT4. Used all legecy options except for hard drives set for: AHCI. On my install what was weird is when I did try to select for UEFI and tried to install it does not like that way at all. As though it dont see the USB flash drive at all. Once I set back to legecy everything worked.
Everything is working nice except for a couple things I noticed so far: This is for E22.
1-Synaptic needs a statment in the ibar for program launch to ask for super rights
2-GPARTED also needs a statment in the ibar for program launch to ask for super rights. Otherwise they do not launch or execute without error. For mine, I add sudo in front of the statment for the lauch application and it works
@Thanatermesis I know you are working on the next beta 3.7.3 but for now how can get the startup sound to launch on start-up. The Elive-Startup-Sound command works fine but it just does not save and play with each start-up. I can choose a song just cant get it to play on start-up
Now on the M6700: same problem with the nvidia tested all "nvidia-privative-drivers-install" stuff without success..! From boot "private drivers", and normal first ligne (here choosing nvidia > same false)
Boot first lign: saying "no" for nvidia driver > runs...
Error charging module battery & temperature (only here on the M6700 (not on the M4400 nor eepc 1001xp));
E17 direct, without asking for E16/E17/E22 during boot process.... A strange thing is that here, Fn keys works for sound but not for screen light: so, in reverse way than with E16/E22 on the eeepc & M4400!!!
Wifi ok. Trackpad ok, slide up-down right-left ok (with two fingers).
...
the problem seems to come from the (not available) Nvidia driver;
In rescue mode system boot hangs at
1/sound/card1/input
input: HDA NVidia/DP, pcm=7 as /devices/pci0000:00/ bla, bla
And
on disk is only one partition (!? =) Elive 3.7x boot (flag)
will repeat install with noveau instead Nvidia (again wrong detected: legacy 390)
OK 1st try, FAILED Sorry but I do not trust the computer / Laptop 100%
it is set at UEFI, legacy off and Secure Boot off.
In my BIOS boot menu I could choose my 3.7.2 USB stick Legacy or UEFI
When I choose UEFI,I access the " sharp / Clean" menu and then the ELive Logo appear.... but it turn and turn and turn without nothing happening.
after 3 minute 50 aprrox,
BusyBOs v1.30.1
initramfs prompt
I am now trying a 3nd time and will still leave the BIOS at UEFI but at the BIOS Boot menu will choose legacy USB Stick (my stick appear 2 times, once UEFI and once Legacy)
NOte there was 2 options in the bios about legacy, I turned both off...
Will try one more time choosing the UEFI BOOT L: My USB stick name... Now the LEGACY USB STICK option do not appear any more
Indeed, I leaved the iso building over night and now im testing it in vbox and I see the same problem
Im going to delete these broken builds, it may have been due to an update of the live tools I have updated yesterday from debian, damn will need to search what is causing the issue...
seems like legacy mode boots (problem only with uefi), but i see a strange audio behaviour on vbox wtf
yes, a GPT disk requires a BOOT partition (250 MB? are you sure? it should be 8 MB max, will check that)
this is a compatibility measure and not forced to include
BUT:
you MUST install using EFI (so the iso needs to boot on EFI mode first), otherwise your shared systems will not work as good as it should be done using the EFI structure... yes, better wait for an upload fix @yoda
question: do you had any strange sound behaviour in your boot as legacy @yoda?
Your selected setup uses GPT and LEGACY BOOT. It is suggested to add an extra partition to act as the BIOS MBR. It should not be inside an encrypted layer. It should have a size of 8MB. Do you want to add one?
It was the one told you 250MB ? or there was another message?
in vbox i see the sound playing like "repeating", like an issue with the audio card (it could be virtualbox maybe, so thats why im asking how it sounds on real machine), a loud bip?
we are testing 3.7.2 but it has a small issue (which is easy to solve), but im checking now if hte iso is correct or not (some sound problems in my vbox)
will need to search what is causing the issue...
