Hello!
Just launched it on the eeepc 1015pn: first thing, conky fits the screen correctly! 
Now apu, api ~~ cuda ~~... Report ASAP!
EDIT: A little "funny" thing: for just a little operation, I ran the eeepc 1015pn live straight (first boot line), so supposedly on "nouveau" graphical mode, and conky appears here to be with a smaller size than the one it have under nvidia privative's..? 
Salutations!
Having installed 3.8.11 (encrypted fresh install) on my X1 Carbon Thinkpad: Everything worked perfectly albeit that thankfully, the network probe did not discover my original wifi settings.... Saving me the hassle to switch to English.
Installing the elivegtklight theme I discovered it now works fine. Hooray. 
Seeing how stable it is:
Methinks it's getting closer. 
I think the actual system is very (extremely) stable and usable, but we cannot release it as a "elive stable version" just because the user experience is much different (limited) with e16, by other side we can have a derivated Elive system using e16 too, but this is good in order to provide us a stable environment to work... now, talking about e23, there's some priorities tasks first:
In short: Is needed to finish all the websites thingies before to start the true e23 desktop development

Prelude:
The hard disk was partitioned with gParted before installation;
sda1 006GB primary swap (generous, I know)
sda3 006GB primary boot
sda4 104GB primary root; no home
(sda2 116GB primary free; space for an additional installation)
Installation from Live Media
Dialog window:
The question for creating an MBR partition is coming up -
after the partitioning of the disk is finished.
Means, if you want a MBR partition you have to start from the scratch again, this is very annoying.
Dialog window:
Still the old chooser from before;
it could be more detailed especially about
multimedia
internet (Firefox - Chromium - PaleMoon - Vivaldi -- Thunderbird - Evolution --- none)
and the utilities selection.
This would make it more simple to get a system tailored by the users desire
(even free of any apps possible by untickle all ??)
Dialog window:
ACPI activate yes/no ? {The hint should become more extended with "SWAP obligatory"}
OK; Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
ACPI S0

May be a good idea:
Dialog window:
do you want to install the Elive application default set {this is the option for average users}
or
do you want to install your favourite apps later by yourself {recommended for more experienced users}
! After the install process is finshed - an error message is coming up:
"During the install of GRUB occured errors
because of no existing BIOS partition
If you can't boot redo the whole installation and add a BIOS partition..."
This is crap and off turning.
Another thing that should be changed is
during the installation process the Dialog windows from above appears at irregular intervals
and interrupt the whole insatllation. That said, you can not star the installation, answer neccessary dialod windows and go away. If you do so, you are coming back after a while, hours or a day -
and have to realize that the installation is still on hold, waiting for a damned click - like "OK"
OK. Reboot.
GRUB says Hello (! surprisingly !)
boot
ldm greeter (taking long, by the way)
login, session started.
all fine so far
After first login I got this fresh salad of upcoming dialog boxes/windows nearly at he the same time;
deeply annoying is here:
They all rushing to the same space and so they overlap eachother...:

**Pls understand me right - this shall be a constructive criticism, **
not a complain.
All in all - the selection of the software installed is well chosen -
but it is too much in summary (and gives also not an impression of professionalism on sight)
This report will be continued soon
PS:
NUM Lock should be activated for Desktop Computers by default.
CU 
I'm surprised you have this opinion now ...... considering those choices have been there from the beginning as far as I can remember.
Well that is a risk you voluntarily took by pre-formatting your HD ..... actually not something a novice or average user would do.... they'd (rightly) opt for the automated partitioning thus never seeing those mbr related messages.
Agreed there, it's a hard one if you've never heard of ACPI before.
true, with minor changes.
It was confusing me also from the beginning on, though.
it is just too much, especially if you got a small screen (e.g. Netbook)
the endless submenus are driving you tired and mad. Unneccessary, imo.
I assume you are talking about an issue in Gparted itself (not elive / elive-installer issue) ?
can you give a more specific example of improvement for which part?
about the "unselect all" checkbox, that feature is unfortunately not available in the widgets system
it was a temporal feature (the asking about it), but I assume that it should be simply enabled without questions by default , suggestions @triantares? I don't see any reason of why not enable acpid by default, so the therical thing about it is:
but the point was to make a way to know if is better to have it or not (anything that stopped to work the same way for the users by enabling it?)
no, this is a feature, the installer asked you to add a bios partition and it was not added (tell me if the installer didn't asked you that), so later in the install, grub installed and reported an error because of the lack of this partition, the elive installer detected that and gave you the instructions of how to proceed if the system is unbootable (the other option is to abort installation because of the lack of the bios partition, but instead, it worked for you)
which one?
as explained in another thread, some things cannot be asked "before" other steps finishes, for example the user-creation cannot be asked before the system is installed (so it uses the own user-manager tool to create users, from inside the installed system, so the system needs to be ready before to run it), same thing for the hostname (computer name), which requires the name of the user to give a default (which is "Elive-username" )
most of the times installing without a bios partition works, but stills an error and a wrong way to install it (is a hacky way to make it bootable), by other side if was strictly required, the installer would not have allowed to continue without the bios partition (that's why you received the instructions message with the grub error report messages)
some things changed in the installer recently:
Note: these first & second boot should show you steps messages in your plymouth bootsplash (boot image in background) telling you what is happening.... (bootsplash is disabled in 32bit system without encryption to make resources lighter)
update: bootsplash is disabled in 32bit systems without encryption that has less than 1,6 GB of RAM to make the system lighter
yeah, we may need to make a little brainstorm of which ones are less important, that can be removed, for example the one that asks for help with translations I'm not sure it will motivate pretty much users to make translations on this step
in e16 it won't, that's a feature for newer enlightenment (or cairo-dock)
only the most important apps are asked on the installer (the ones that has more alternatives, like the browsers, or the ones that takes too much space, like office or blender), everything else are small apps that can be removed by the user easily later
I only see "music youtube" and spotify in my installed system, which one is the third one? Truth is that a lot of people uses spotify and if elive provides is a bonus, especially since there's no applications installed nor any space used nor any proprietary software installed, just a web launcher which looks like an app (webapp), the only place the uses is an entry in the menus (and unfortunately this cannot be removed in an easy way for now, as how it is implemented), about youtube music is the same thing, and provides a cost-free alternative of spotify to play music
first and second are two totally different things, about vsauce it is in education menu and it shows misc interesting things about education, in e17 we have them grouped in a "webapp" submenu but this is not possible in e16
I tried to research many education things to include in Elive since education is a pretty needed thing especially in our actual society, but is not easy to find a valuable thing about education, not even the applications meant to be for education, so I think the best is good documentaries and videos about science and similar topics
remember: Elive is not gentoo or archlinux or debian which you install everything yourself customizing every detail of what you want and what you don't want to have, elive is a ready to use system with automated configurations, drivers, dynamic settings and also an optimal preselection of apps to enhance the user experience (of course is impossible to have everybody's taste in the same place but at least the installer gives you a good percent of possibilities by fine-tunning your selection). I say that as an answer of "why X app is included", if we remove all the provided apps in elive, its a vanilla system without much more difference than any other distro
@Rebel450 the menu that you need to look more exactly is the one from cairo-dock, which uses the same structure as Elive 3.0 stable, for example webapps are moved to a subdir which doesn't makes them annoying
check the ones from cairo-dock (which is the one we will use for newer enlightenment), they are divided between "preferences" and "adminstration", like:
note also that they are not cluttered this way, like in the Education menu
yes, is the prefered video-scree-recording tool included by default (it works good, it works optimized, it is light on resources, etc)
in short answer: make a look to the result from the cairo-dock menus, this one should be the good one to check from
note that there's a bug in cairo-dock on which some apps doesn't launch 
good point, but this is not possible
I already tried to implement this in the past and there's simply no way to detect if a keyboard has a numpad or not, so if we enable numpad in a keyboard that has not a numpad, it gives more problems than features (making your keyboard unable to type the correct keys), you had a point saying "desktop computers", but in the same way, there's many keyboards around without a numpad
I asume by MBR he reffer to the BIOS partition (which explains the previous comments about the bios partition and my answers)
The thing is that like @triantares said, you are responsible of how you partition your hard disk, so basically the partitioner tool opens and you do whatever you want, later, the installer asks you for the partitions needed / optional. The needed ones are at least a root and a bios partition (for your case), so if you didn't allocated space on a partition for a bios one, you need to start over repartitioning again
Suggestions to improve this? I don't think its possible... other installers includes an own partitioner tool inside the installer which you select the label (root partition, bios partition, etc) BEFORE to partition it (then, it partitions and starts installation with these settings). This is good and bad, bad because you are (even more) responsible to do a correct partitioning, if you don't and your system doesn't boot, you won't even know why, this means, the elive installer is somewhat superior on that side, allowing you to partition first and then asking you for the "mountpoints" for these partitions, this allows the installer to verify that you have everything needed, for example, if your computer should have a BIOS partition it will suggest you to add one and tells you what will happen if you don't (allowing you to continue installing nomatterwhat, because it will probably work), or if you use an encryption layer it will forcely request you to add a boot partition, otherwise your system will not boot at all... this makes the user understand all the points, what is needed and what is optional, what will happen... at the cost of start over if doesn't do correctly
as said before it was meant to be a temporal question, but i don't think anybody will report useful information from this question... so i will remove it from the installer
I agree, there's no reason NOT to enable acpid by default ..... no questions asked.
We do or ...... incorporate a few into a single popup widget which can be moved aside for later or is integrated into the new installer-window we were talking about.
Good and not so good experience....
On the plus All the readings in Conky show values again, that has not worked for several releases
On the negative... Tkaes twice as long to boot, no idea why. Perhaps it has something to do with using 50 % more ram 800 GB compared to 550 before
That is a lot of RAM to use ..... shouldn't that be Mbs?
I use slightly less than 1Gb on E23 with firefox opening a single tab.
confirmed from here 
I must say that I agree... I always disable the numlock key if it's on by default...
the live mode? make sure that is not the step of "waiting for internet connection...", yes it delays the boot of the live mode, but makes it more featured and somewhat needed, so a longer delay in the first live boot is not a so bad thing (you have a visual counter of that with the message in fact, so its pretty friendly)
another reason to not enable it by default... but in any case, is not really possible
It makes it dead slow and IMO totally unneeded -- even intrusive actually.
The concept of a live version rummaging through my existing system, without asking permission first is a nono.
It might look nifty from a dev point of view but it's downsides are bigger than the ups.
and after it's booted and running ask the user if settings should be probed or not.
