Documentary Zeitgeist 3 was released!

The Documentary Zeitgeist 3 "Moving Forward" is finally released!

• Zeitgeist I: Zeitgeist, the first documentary was an University Tesis made by Peter Joseph, it was a "boom" all over internet and was the most viewed video in youtube, talks about the broken and corrupted world basically, a very hard video showing the real and inhuman things that happen in the world, those problems that not everybody is able to see. At that moment it was created a new social movement called the Zeitgeist Movement and Peter Joseph started to receive lots of emails telling him "Yes, we know that the world is f4ck3d up, but what can we do?!", Peter just replied "I don't know!", but then Roxanne Mellows sent Peter the book... "The best that money can't buy", after Peter reading, realized that the Venus Project was the solution, and it was then that Peter discovered the Venus Project... (continue reading to know what the Venus Project is).
  
  
• Zeitgeist II: Since that moment, Peter decided to use the Zeitgeist Movement as a tool to make the world know about the Venus Project, and this is what the second documentary of Zeitgeist talks about, first shows how the monetary system is corrupted and then introduces the Venus Project
  
  
• Zeitgeist III: This was a very awaited documentary called "Zeitgeist Moving Forward", thousands of people where waiting to see this documentary and now was finally released, it is a more serious and specific documentary where Peter has invested 200 thousand dollars to make it, important teachers of Stanford and Harvard Universities talk about the malfunction of the autodestructive economic system, it shows how we need a transition and how it should be done. It is a very inspiring and interesting documentary that everybody should see. Before criticise it, just watch it and then make up your mind. If you agree with these ideas, please share it, it was been viewed by a million persons in only 3 days, so share it with your friends and send emails to the Television Channels requesting to include this documentary in their shows, actually Italy has agreed to play it on their television, please request it in your country, we want to make all the world know about the solution of this autodestructive and decaying system, because we want to solve the problems of the world and have a lot better quality of life before is too late. Remember that we have been spoiling our natural resources.
  
  
• The Venus Project: Jacque Fresco, who is now 94 years old, inventor and social designer engineer, worried about the lot of bugs of this system, and has passed all his life designing a correct made system, that proposes a very different system where the base of the problems like money and governments are replaced by something non-destructive and auto-evolutive, a real solution for evolution of this world, we recommend you to watch the very beautiful documentary called "Future by Design", unfortunately the venus project has not been well known for decades but now thanks to the Zeitgeist Movement it is everyday more known, and this is the first step of this human evolution. You can watch a lot of small pieces of videos in youtube by searching for Jacque Fresco.

Today, me and Anabell, the new organizer and marketing director of Elive, had a very good idea for Elive, as you know, Elive is an unique operating system in all the world because doesn't follow any rule stablished by the system, Elive has personality and the power to be free as how it wants to be, and now, we are going to include an incredible feature never seen before in any other operating system, but more than a feature is an amazing gift...

Unfortunately I can't say anything about what is this feature, because we want it to be a big big surprise!, we want to listen echo's of OMG in all around the world!, the only thing that I can say about it is that is not very much related with software or applications but is something like an unvaluable gift, even with a good bunch of thousands of money you can't have a better gift, I think that this part is a little fun because sometimes there's a strange user lost around there saying that 15 bucks is a lot of money (even if we have non-paying options), now we are offering something comparable to thousands of bucks!, but anyways... I don't worry about these ones, because as you know, Elive is made for whom appreciates it, nobody obliges you to use Elive, you are free, so remain free.

I have recently noticed that the users with poor knowledge's of gnu/linux (in other words, that never has tried it), doesn't know How to boot Elive in their computers, so this is why i have added a new entry in the Howto's section with the instructions about how to boot your computer with Elive. It is meant to perfectly explained everything so that anybody be able to run Elive on his computer, you are welcome to suggest anything to add anything on it by simply sending me an email.

The idea still the same, that any kind of user be able to use Elive, without previous knowledge about gnu/linux or other things, if you know other things that needs to be more easy for a new end-user, you can suggest me it by for example reporting it as feature request in the BTS (bugs) website.

I profite also this entry to say that the development of Elive continues, of course, I say that because there's a lot of people in the IRC channel that doesn't see me anymore on it, the reason is simple: IRC takes a lot of time and i prefer to use this time for develop Elive, IRC makes me to lost a lot of time, so I don't expect to return really much on the IRC for now :). If you don't see any update recently is just because im rewriting ALL my personal tools, ways of work, automations, more stable and controled processes... everything, even my new Home structure system that is basically finished. I will try to finish these things as soon as possible and do an update of the actual Topaz version with minor fixes, and starting to work in the new kernel and updating all the packages, I can't say any date, just that ASAP :)

Have a nice day!

After years of Elive development I have found that quite often users have the same questions: How I can do foo? How I can recover bar? How I can restore something ?... These questions, even if they are possible to be resolved manually or with any tool in Elive, may not be readily known by users or it is difficult to find a solution or maybe the user is a bit lazy to click in the configurations panel. But there could be also other more important problems like the user has tried to reconfigure the graphical system and so broken it.

For that, I have decided to create a special boot mode for recovery purposes to manage all these things. With a sexy name like the nurse mode, unfortunately also with the request of some users I can't put on it a sexy nurse girl wallpaper, it will not be totally correct even if I include also a sexy nurse boy togheter, also, Elive don't like to use these crappy marketing techniques like some enterprises will do.

What will the Nurse mode include ?

It is not finished but the main idea is to include all these features:

• Graphical drivers: reinstall / fixup
• Xorg configuration: recover or reconfigure
• Installed packages: Check if all default installed packages still being installed (things may be not work by having removed accidentally or manually some of them), with the option to reinstall them
• Hardware Checks: Verification that all the hardware works correctly, specially the RAM and the Hard disk, and also the correct work of the cpu calculations at full work
• Update clean configurations: The user may brake any of its configurations, he can update it from a clean default Elive conf
• Recover old configurations: To recover old configurations, maybe updated ones or maybe by a new install
• Boot recover: Recover boot (vmlinuz/initrd) if the user can't boot its system
• Entrance: Check or clean the default entrance (login manager) configurations
• Passwords changer: Modify the password of any user or admin (root)
• Edit grub config: To edit the boot list configuration file
• Wine: Remove wine applications (installed and from the menus)
• Applications menus: Remove personal applications entry's in the menus or the bar, some may be broken
• Swap checker: Check if there's any swap and if is used, if not, ask for fix it
• Keyboard / Language: Configurator of keyboard or language
• Automount of disks: Sometimes an entry on the fstab will not allow the user to automatically mount an external disk, this feature will remove these entry's
• ETC!

So what you think ? is not that the perfect remaining feature in Elive for any new linux user that doesn't knows how to fix their problems manually or from a terminal ? :)

I have just noticed that there was no RSS source visible. We have repaired that now. Use it in order to be updated about Forum activities.
