to the others, I was having a discussion with @Thanatermesis and the pictures I sent without comments were because ofa discussion I had on IRC
Long sorry short my Window 7 installation was not by the book and than tweaked the code to handle that kind of problem and was asking me pictures
Windows was install in Legacy mode, MSDOS type partition and than modified the installer to convert MDSOS partition to GPT and will make the installer more intelligent to fix my mess so the Elive menu allow to choose WIndows or Elive
Sound works on E22 but fn keys to mute/down/up doesn't! And same with E16 (on the eeepc 1001XP); Fn keys for the light of the screen are functional on both E22 & E16...
So: boot on key first choice, ok, nvidia 340xx detected, stop at "Unable to remove module (modprobe.backlist... something)..." Many claims, but runs..!
In Terminology, nvidia-detect see it, Quadro FX 770M, recommanding to install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
EDIT error for name of nvidia-legacy: it's 304xx, not 340xx...
fn keys screen light ok, sound ok; wifi ok,
On the trackpad, the up/down lift works but can't figure out to tune the right-left one (here, one point)... No trackpad configuration on conf' panel...
If I Terminology >>>sudo nvidia-privative-drivers-install: detect ok, same complains after...
yes, the previous message was meant to say that you must reboot with this boot option, mmmh, maybe i need to improve this message @Franc? i dont remember what exactly it said
I can confirm @yoda 's experience that the installer demands a >250 boot partition.
This was, in my case dumb because there was allready one available.
Either the installer doesn't see it or simply wants it very own.
Either way, not a good way.
yeah it cannot be "detected", a /boot partition contains its own files, not good idea to mix it between distros, so its a good choice to manually select it (if you want to overwrite an older /boot partition for elive)
i don't see what is wrong with this most of installs requires a separated /boot
you need to enable it manually -when- you want to use it, there's no way to make it default unless if you do it from the bios (if you have the option)
mmh, that doesn't looks normal
actually im doing tests in 1gb and 500mb and I don't see the problem, less than 400 mb is used all the time, but it can of course grow depending of what you are running
just desktop start shows this big ussage @Rebel450?
we don't want to type it twice
so i should enable it again (visual password) ? lol @triantares?
seriously? my install tests in legacy mode worked good , are you sure you updated the installer before to install? (it is probably that it was recently fixed), sometimes is not updated itself, to make sure it is, run this before to install:
note: the package eeepc-acpi-scripts has been added by default for the next build, it was included in wheezy but i needed to backport it, it should support more eeepc's so its good to have it, maybe @Franc audio hotkeys problem is directly solved with it
I already tried to include it by default in Elive in the past and it gave more problems than solutions, even blocking totally the keyboard making a lot of users unable to use the keyboard bad bad! supabad
most of installs requires a separated /boot
