| 04:00.34 | EliveWeb_58357 | Hello Keyra, I installed elive 2.5.10 beta and I like it but I can't run any of my 64bit programs. Is there any way around this? |
| 04:00.37 | keyra | hi |
| 04:11.51 | elmo401 | EliveWeb_58357: hello. There is no 64-bit Elive. |
| 04:12.22 | elmo401 | EliveWeb_58357: and there is a much newer beta. check www.elivecd.org to download the latest. |
| 04:14.30 | EliveWeb_58357 | Aw man..I understand, thanks. |
| 04:20.58 | EliveWeb_58357 | I think I already have the latest elive beta but if its not 64bit then I can't use it much. Thanks anyway. |

| 16:06.40 | Elive_user_en_54 | I have a Compaq Presario S4100NX; It has a Celeron R 2.5 ghz processor, and 1024 mb of ram. I have a Nvidia Geforce 6200 video card; the hard drive is a 80gb IDE drive, and it has a wi-fi card as well. I installed Elive Beta to the hard drive with the video card installed; however when I tried to restart the PC the OS boots to a black screen; if I remove the card it will boot & load however I do get a second screen th |
| 16:06.40 | Elive_user_en_54 | at isn't legible; however I figured out if I merely enter the password twice the PC loads the desktop. I would really like to get this to boot with the video card because the PC is way to sluggish with this OS without it. I do get a MP Bios bug 8254 not connected to timer IO APIC message on the screen everytime I boot; with or with out the video card. How do I fix this? My e-mail is bjam4truth@gmail.com |
| 16:13.32 | Elive_user_en_54 | Is anyone there? I am just now trying to figure out this XChat as well; I am a bit novice at this. |

| 16:35.40 | Thanatermesis | Elive_user_en_54, so your install has a problem ? |
| 16:36.27 | Thanatermesis | you used the automated partitioning? |
| 16:40.07 | Thanatermesis | google results says that you should try to upgrade your bios firmware |
| 16:40.16 | Thanatermesis | for this IO APIC problem |
| 17:06.11 | Elive_user_en_54 | The Bios was updated prior to any installation of any version of Linux; It previously had Windows xp on it; everything was up to date and working well with XP; the wi-fi card & the video card were also functionimg well with it. I had looked up the 8254 bug, and learned it is a kernal issue within Linux; however I am not very Linux smart, so I am not sure what I need to do to make it work; I am on the very PC now with |
| 17:06.12 | Elive_user_en_54 | Elive Beta; however it would seem that the 8254 bug is the crux of my problem with booting any Linux os with the video card. Surely there must be a Linux geek that knows what to do? |

| 17:12.45 | Thanatermesis | Elive_user_en_54, have you tried to append the boot options that you can see in the google articles talkinga bout the 8254 bug? |
| 17:12.58 | Thanatermesis | these noapic and similar ones.. |
| 17:15.40 | Elive_user_en_21 | I haven't seen any suggestions in any comments regarding the bug that apply to my situation; certainly not any with regard to Elive |
| 17:15.58 | keyra | the best way to fix a problem is by reporting the issue into our BTS, if we don't know about the problems that you can have we cannot solve them, your problem can affect to other users too, so you can collaborate with Elive by reporting them to http://bugs.elivecd.org |
| 17:17.08 | Elive_user_en_21 | I will do that I was hoping for an answer here. |

| 17:23.04 | Elive_user_en_21 | I selected noapic upon install; Lubuntu says to use nomodeset with Nvidia cards; not sure how to go back and change it in Elive, or what works in Elive. The Bios is up to date; HP is the only source for the Bios and the version installed is the latest; I often wonder if I would of been better off with the older bios. |
| 17:23.10 | keyra | know the elive version running in your terminal: cat /etc/elive-version |
| 17:23.12 | keyra | wonder! wonder! |
| 17:24.44 | Thanatermesis | <Elive_user_en_21> I selected noapic upon install |
| 17:24.47 | Thanatermesis | where you selected that? |
| 17:26.46 | Elive_user_en_21 | under options during the install; don't ask me how to find it again though. The Elive version installed is the latest Beta version. |
| 17:33.17 | Thanatermesis | noapic ? mmmh... i dont know any option that does that, and the installer has not any reference to "noapic" at all |
| 17:34.07 | Thanatermesis | Elive_user_en_20, but the thing is: the live mode correctly boots in your computer with the default boot options and the installed mode doesn't ? |
| 17:34.17 | Thanatermesis | this is very strange because is the same system and should boot in the same way |
| 17:34.44 | Thanatermesis | can you try to do a new installation of the last beta? (make sure to have been connect to internet before to start the installer, important to have updates) |
| 17:40.40 | Elive_user_en_21 | I had installed Unicorn 32 bit on here however it wouldn't install with the video card in the machine; once installed; I had replaced the video card, but had to use recovery to load to the desktop; once there I was able to install the drivers for the card; the card was working fine, except I was experience fade on different screens and freezes, and it would not boot up the desktop after being shut down with the video |
| 17:40.41 | Elive_user_en_21 | card in; except through recovery; frustrated I found and burned a disk of this distro and paid for the ability to install to the hard drive; to my surprise Elive installed with the video card in; (no other Distro) I have attempted would do that, so I was hopefull; However after install with the card in, and after reboot it went a black screen. |
| 17:40.55 | keyra | to install elive in your hard disk just click in the last icon of the dock/bar, in live mode, follow the steps and select auto for everything if you want to have everything just working for you |
| 17:43.03 | Thanatermesis | Elive_user_en_20, are you in installed mode now? please run this on a terminal: mount | elivepaste |
| 17:46.06 | Elive_user_en_21 | Maybe I am confused with another distro attempt. It said it was installing to the hard drive; I had to enter the code e-mailed to me I selected auto for everything. |
| 17:47.12 | Elive_user_en_21 | Is that the exact command? can I do that with Xchat open? |
| 17:48.58 | Elive_user_en_21 | I have the video card out right now; so will it boot if I reinstall it after doing that? |
| 17:50.01 | Elive_user_en_21 | I had Elive remove and replace unicorn BTW |

| 18:02.02 | keyra | to easly copy and paste text you can select it with the mouse and paste it with the middle-button of your mouse, in terminal you can also paste the graphical-system copypaste, see the help in your terminal for more info, if you don't have middle click try to press both buttons at the same time, or shift + insert! |
