  1. FYI:
    the download of geubuntu as iso never begin.
    I can download other iso files but not this one, from your site or from the miror

  2. Hi there.

    On the subject of internet security I would like to ask thedarkmaster if you know of any awards that are out there for internet security software and content inspection services. I am considering starting one and would like to know if you think there is any value in this?

    Kind regards

  3. purtroppo il torrent di opengeu 7.10 non parte…. hai indicazioni?
    Grazie

  4. @Content: please post in our forum, I don’t know much about Internet Security, sorry 🙁

    @Fabio: ciao Fabio, strano, hai usato quello del sito ufficiale? Dovrebbe strapartire, riprova per favore, casomai hai usato un fake… ce n’è uno in giro, maledizione. Altrimenti tieni conto che ora abbiamo finalmente anche un direct link!

  5. Hi – i’m running edgy and E17 (have been on E for 10years now), but never get it quite right building from source. Regardless, kudos for your efforts. My ? is why create an entirely new distro? Especially one that is basically ubuntu? Cant you just create a repo for your E17 and let ubuntu users apt-get it?
    Seems like less effort to me, specially since your ‘distro’ does little beyond adding E17 to the mix. Also, FWIW, could you put the size of the iso somewhere?

  6. Hallo Rion, as I always said in the past to 1000000 users not wishing to read a damned webpage introduction (from the home page of the project), OpenGEU can be everything BUT a simple Ubuntu with E17. That is Elbuntu for example (if you know what it is). So if you whish to understand why a new distro and why it is on top of all the reviews it receives, or why it is one of the most dowloaded and appreciated distros in the entire Linux scene (see distrowatch), you’ll have to read the introduction about what IS OpenGEU from our home page 🙂

    If, after that, you’ll still have some doubts, than please ask me again but try to specify what is it that you do not understand. We don’t even compile E17, man! We use the dunnewind repos for it! It is all the rest in the distro that makes OpenGEU so special 😉

    Plus we have repos for our own packages, don’t worry, any Ubuntu user can install OpenGEU with few efforts without having to download the entire distro. Read the wiki for that!

    The size of the iso is always something like 700 MB, why should I specify it? Sorry, I really got depressed when I read this:
    “Seems like less effort to me, specially since your ‘distro’ does little beyond adding E17 to the mix.”

    Adding E17 in the mix would be the last of all our efforts… it means almost nothing alone, and that’s exactly what the whole project is all about: E17 alone is useless for a normal user… so what you say here is really the opposite of reality and I’m very sad about it 🙁

  7. Hi to every one.I downloaded and installed opengeu about 2 weeks ago and I think it is absolutly brilliant, keep up the excellent work guy’s. I have only one problem and that is with the system sounds, I have no system sounds or login/logout sounds at all. I can play music and video with no problems at all. I have been to the ubuntu forum to see if I could find any information but was unable to, I even posted in the hope some one could help, but as of today no replys. Is this some thing you may be able to help me with. Cant wait for Luna Crescente to arrive, any idea’s when we can expect to see it?
    Once again keep up the good work.

  8. Hallo Richard! For as far as I know, there’s no system sound in Enlightenment. So I guess there’s nothing strange if you cannot find any system sound. If sound works well for your media and games than everthing is OK… for Luna Crescente I’m planning on using some login/logout sounds. We’ll see.

    Also, for Luna Crescente, I’d love to release it as soon as possible. But it won’t be released I think if it will just be an upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy… I don’t know I have to think about it because there are some tools we need and some e-developers are helping us but if the tools aren’t ready I guess there’s no point in realising something new. Yet again, we’ll see 🙂
    I’ll be sure to release an innovative Luna Crescente, don’t worry.

  9. Hi all guys, I have just known about geubuntu luna nouva, and I was tempted to try but I can’t get the iso file. It is require username and password. How can I have it?

  10. Hallo man, now we are at OpenGEU Luna Nuova but I’m working with my team right now to Luna Crescente. You can download and install Luna Nuova and then update to Luna crescente or you can download hardy and install directly the packages for Luna Crescente but they are in high work and subjected to intensive changes with time. You choose.
    If you wish to downloa dthe iso for Luna Nuova:

    http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/OpenGEU-Download-30565.html

    and if you wish to install ubuntu hardy and THEN install the opengeu desktop, read the wiki here:

    http://opengeuwiki-en.intilinux.com/index.php?title=Install_geubuntu_7.10

    just replace gutsy, every time you find it, with hardy.
    In any case you can also download ubuntu and install opengeu with the usual wiki, using the gutsy repos. That is if you don’t whant to try the new Luna Crescente development version and cannot obtain for any reason the iso of Luna Nuova… should you be confused, please post here or in the forums please.

  11. Hello Lucas
    Thank you very much. I get access with the OpenGEU Luna Nouva now on a live cd. The graphical theme so great. I do like it very much.
    How can I type my own language (Vietnamese) in the word processor?
    May I ask how to play audio multifiles at one?. I’m now playing it one by one.
    Thank a lot.
    ND.

  12. HI ND, you can play multiple audio files with any media player such as rhythmbox. Download it and try it 🙂
    As for the language in Abiword (I guess abiword, or do you use openOffice?) you should refer to the documentation of the word processor you’re using. I never had to set Vietnamese of course, only Italian, and to have it working in openOffice I remember I had to download an extra dictionary. Anyway, from the settings you should be able to add a language. I don’t remember how, sorry.

  14. I was typing in “Abi Word and added a bullet (from insert – by the way, there doesn’t seem to be a provision for setting up hotkeys to insert symbols :~( ), but then suddenly all my new entries were in either Greek or rectangles. Even turning of the program didn’t work. How to I get back to English?

  15. hi thedarkmaster regards from portugal , im interested in hosting your iso and mirror please contact me

  16. Hi!
    Your OpenGEU 7.10 is very nice, I have downloaded and installed it to my old Compaq notebook, but it won`t resolve CD/DVD mechanic and FDD as well. Simply doesn`t work, doesn`t see it, normal xubuntu works.

  17. Hi Lucie I’m very sorry about it and I don’t understand why it happens, normally, nything working inUbuntu or Xubuntu should work in OpenGEU too since OpenGEU is based on Ubuntu. But you can try the new OpenGEU 8.04 alpha and tell me if it works. Even if it’s a beta it’s completely stable and ready for work already. It simply is in alpha stage because it has less features than it is going to have in the future.

  18. Hi,I installed Open GEU 7.10 and really liked it.I did have one problem though.On the bottom shelf I could keep adding widgets until the system crashed.I reloaded it and downloaded the updates then another box popped up and said a new update was available. So I downloaded it and ended up with Ubuntu 8.04 but with a Open GEU logon screen and the GEU moonlight wallpaper.I will have to see about Open GEU 8.04 beta.

  19. it’s still an alpha but you should absolutely go to the wiki, learn how to install it and do it since now you already are in an Hardy system. You are going to like the changes.

  20. I just wanted to point out a typo on your front page (http://opengeu.intilinux.com/Home.html), and for the record, I am the king of typos, lol. In the second paragraph, where you say:

    “Enlightenment alone is not enough to make you desktop fully functional”

    It should say “Enlightenment alone is not enough to make your desktop fully functional”

    I would replace the word “you” with “your”.

    Have a nice day.

  21. Will there be any 64bit version?

  22. sure very soon, sorry for the delay.

  23. Question,
    How do I access Places->Network from Enlightenment?
    I can do it from GNOME OK. (I.e samba is installed and working) but I cant see how to do it from GEU.

  24. Hi there

    Just wondering if I can offer my services. I have a dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth and would like to help with the load if you like.

    You can contact me on the email address provided and we can go from there.

  25. Ciao, ho installato la versione 8.4 di Opengeu sul mio Eee Pc..ho qualche problema, non riesco a far funzionare il miscrofono frontale con Skype. Ho provato ad entrare nel canale Irc ma non c’è nessuno tranne me 🙁 Qualcuno sa come aiutarmi? Grazie! Ho provato un sacco di distro Linux sul mio Eee Pc ma davvero non riesco ancora a trovarne una che mi vada completamente a genio! Ho letto che OpenGeu è perfetta per l’Eee Pc ma non riesco ad orientarmi bene!
    Grazie per l’aiuto

  26. Ciao ma hai scaricato OpenGEU o OpenGeeeU? Non ho capito bene…

  27. Ciao dark, ho provato ad installare opengeu 8.04 luna crescente con wubi che c’e’ dentro il cd ma nulla…sapresi dirmi come fare?

  28. Hey there! I’m a web designer, and I’d love to contribute with the project if possible. Is there anywhere I can contact you?

  29. ciao, siccome non riesco ad iscrivermi al forum, provo a chiedere informazioni da qui, mi potreste spiegare come si fa a creare una connessione ad internet con questa distro? io uso mandriva che ha il tool netapplet, con già le configurazioni pronte

  30. PLEASE! Don’t use network manager, WICD is the solution! Good job have a nice day!

  31. you could use i.e. raidshare.com to host your iso´s

  32. la opengeu la sto provando da ieri,sull’eeepc 701 4G, c’ho giocato un bel po’ e mi piace un sacco!!! BRAVO al suo realizzatore!

    ho un problema, ho attivato il modulo Illume, e mi trovo il sistema che non mi piace più e non riesco a disattivarlo! cercando di disattivare il modulo, il sistema va in crash! come posso fare per toglierlo senza reinstallare tutto da capo?? Ci dev’essere una procedura, no?

    Un’altra domanda: non riesco a visualizzare il cubo, cioè attivo la visualizzazione cubo, ma vedo solo 3 pannelli senza la forma di cubo! come si fa?
    Per il resto va tutto molto bene, graficamente accattivante e leggero.

    PS
    non vanno gli hotkey, quella del wi-fi del volume, della sospensione ecc..

  33. Hi everybody,
    Id like to help project making a new website (if you need) to the project.
    If it is wanted… please.. tell me.
    Cheers
    Carlos

  34. The more mirrors you have for the ISO and installation files for OpenGEU Linux, the better. We, at Teracom are willing to provide a FREE Mirror! The mirror is http://teracom.org/pub/linux/opengeu

  35. I just downloaded and installed opengeu, and all is good except the effects won’t work. No folding windows, flaming windows, nadda! I found desktop effects and turned them on, but nothing. Please help!

    Hi there, I have a question:
    Tried to install opengeu on Ubuntu 9.04 and followed the instructions on the wiki. All went seemingly well, but there is one problem though, the file: http://opengeu.linuxfreedom.com/ubuntu/pool/opengeu/opengeu-e17-luna-crescente-themes-3.10.deb does not exist there and the installation stops with an error.
    I asked on the forums but somehow can’t get any answer. Is there a place one could download just this file?
    Sorry for posting this question here, but I thought this is the best place to get to you.
    Almost dying to try opengeu on my machine.
    Regards,
    bodek

  37. hi, i’m trying to connect to internet using tp-link ubs adapter TL-WN422G, but I am not able to; is that wireless usb adapter supported?? thanks for your help
    Enzo

  38. i’am waiting for your help than you very much

  39. hi, i just found today your distr. I use ubuntu 8.10. at would like to upgrade to your distro version without reinstall. Is that possible or packages available to upgrade?

    • Of course u can! Please visit the website and from there, reach the wiki. There you’ll find instructions on how to install 8.10 from packages. It’s easy, u’ll just have to add a repository and install opengeu-desktop! It won’t make anything weird to your current configuration, it will just add a new enlightenment session to gnome with opengeu inside it 😉

  40. When is the next version of GeUBUNTU coming out? It seems stack on the 8.10 for quite long. Why is that? I am looking forward to it. Is it because of E17. I have noticed some crazy bugs with the latest version of it. Something like if you have your PC running for a weekend, on Monday Xorg occupies ( I see that by running top ) around 30% of RAM (my RAM is 4GB) and that keeps growing unless you reboot. XFCE4 or other WM do not have such bug on the same system. I am running Debian Lenny.

    • Is there any way to get in touch with anyone from the staff? I have been on freenode #opengeu and #geubuntu and nothing. I would like to start being apart of the opengeu community! I just need to know how to get ahold of someone!

      • Hi, the irc channel is almost unused, sorry. I’m here, my mail is luca dot darkmaster at gmail dot com and in the web page of OpenGEU you can see there are mailing lists too, for developers. You have to subscribe and then you’ll be able to introduce you to the rest of the team 😉
        Thanks for your interest and sorry for not answering before but we are really working hard on the new release in this period. It’s been time absorbing and terribly consuming. Hope we’ll get rid of the problems we have today.
