how to install E17 from Shadoi in Breezy

[aboe]

I was looking for e17 (the new enlightenment:KS) for breezy, and came across Shadoi's blog...his blog (http://shadoi.soulmachine.net/)
He has a debian unstable repository and now a Ubuntu Breezy repository
which makes adding E17 easy...

Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://soulmachine.net/breezy unstable/
and this to your /etc/apt/preferences (if there isn't any create one)
Package: enlightenment
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: enlightenment-data
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999

then:
install the public.key from:
in the terminal/konsole type:
wget soulmachine.net/public.key && sudo apt-key add public.key

or download this key and install it through synaptic/repositories/authentication:
http://soulmachine.net/public.key

sudo apt-get update (or run synaptic refresh)

sudo apt-get install enlightenment

or browse with synaptic and install any e17 app.

good luck and give feedback if I need to change anything...
this is my first how to...;)
All credits must go to Shadoi (aka Blake Barnett) for making the repository!!!

oh and for evidince I tried:
http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/evidence/evidence_0.9.8-20050305-hoaryGMW_i386.deb
and did :
sudo dpkg -i evidence_0.9.8-20050305-hoaryGMW_i386.deb
and it works...but no breezy packaged build yet...

Tool for configuring E17 with a gui Erme (Enlightenment_Remote Made Easy):
You needGTK2::Perl
this is just a perl script that will give a window with options for keybinding, mouse, focus, etc.

http://www.c7obs.net/%7Eadi/projects/perl/

-------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN PROBLEMS
-ANY_MOD don't function very well. it's from enlightenmet_remote.
-signal binding works only if ANY_MOD is ON
-there is a problem if you modify a binding and then delete it. erme will not
delete the binding but update it. if you want to delete it use a simple delete.
this is my fault. i will fix it pretty soon
-------------------------------------------------------------------

on building eap files:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/e17genmenu/

You need to build this yourself...
short how to build:
apt-get build-essentials...
apt-get checkinstall
apt-get e17 dev packages...don't know exactly wich ones..

untar genmenu, ./configure, make, sudo checkinstall..and follow directions..

goodluck

[Juippisi]

Looks good!

I've been using http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh script to install E17 on my Breezy, but later today I'll test this repo.

Thanks for pointing it out ;-).

[zenrox]

easy way to add the key to breezy

wget soulmachine.net/public.key && sudo apt-key add public.key

[i3dmaster]

Cool! Thanks

[aboe]

thanks added it to the howto...

[nrgtek]

Great how-to, got it up and running now. Is there any guide for E17? I realize this is still a "beta" application, but I would like to see basics for adding applications to the launcher and such. Thanks!

[TimmyJ]

go to www.get-e.org they have a great site with a collection of themes, backgrounds, eaps, and an excellent user tutorial

[rjwood]

where does the public key get coded into??

[aboe]

you can add it with synaptic, in the repository section,
authentication...

it is to show that these packages, are from shadoi (aka Blake barnett)

OK just trying to be careful...
I should open snyaptic go to repositories then to authentication and add:

http://soulmachine.net/public.key
wget soulmachine.net/public.key && sudo apt-key add public.key

those 2 lines---just like that???

[Chareos]

Just guessing if there's a way to install engage (in the most slick way as possible) on Kubuntu, keeping use kde at all...

no there are two ways of doing this...
terminal or console:
the line wget soulmache.net/public.key bla bla, will do the trick

or
download the public.key..and insert it in synaptic...

gonna try at improve the how to on this...a little bit..

[rjwood]

I appreciate the "how to" I think you worked hard on it. And it is kind of you to share your knowledge.

It was just a little unclear for me that's all.

GREAT JOB!!

[aboe]

Just guessing if there's a way to install engage (in the most slick way as possible) on Kubuntu, keeping use kde at all...

what do you mean?
install entrance and keep kdm, or replace kdm with entrance and keep kubuntu??

[Tab]

Just guessing if there's a way to install engage (in the most slick way as possible) on Kubuntu, keeping use kde at all...
Engage is no longer being developed as a stand alone app, and instead is being developed as a module for E17.

Can someone post a screenshot of what their E17 theme looks like when they maximize a window? I can't find a single screenshot that shows that. I'm just curious to see which toolbars get covered up and which stay on top of the windows, etc.

Thanks in advance.

[rjwood]

has anyone been able to get the weather module to work??

When I try to set the location, cpu monitor goes thru the roof and x freezes.

I tried after disableing all the other modules. No luck

[fukusayo]

When I use Entrance Display manager, E17 loads up without a hitch.
However, when I try loading KDE or gnome I get and Xsession error:

"Xsessions: unable to launch "gnome" xsession --- "gnome" not found; falling back to default session"

then it will load up the default which is gnome, but kde is still inaccessible.

Any idea on how so correct this error?

[bam]

amazing, never installed it until today....bye bye gnome. Thanks!

no I'm still having trouble configuring entrance myself....
and removed it. because gnome was in English, because entrance only speaks english...

if you maximize everything will get covered.
this is default behavior of a new window...

[Chareos]

Engage is no longer being developed as a stand alone app, and instead is being developed as a module for E17.


So I've to choose kde or e17 to get engage ?

[aboe]

just try to install engage only...maybe it will get some packages from enlightenment, but I just started engage in gnome and it works...
you have to fill your engage bar, with eaps...just look at the guide, in www.get-e.org for more information.

Tool for configuring E17 with a gui Erme (Enlightenment_Remote Made Easy):
You needGTK2::Perl

http://www.c7obs.net/%7Eadi/projects/perl/

Can you add more details about using this gui?

Plus, I am unable to compile e17genmenu.

the configure script gave me this error:

If I try to launch make, it suddenly stops:

I think I'm missing something.

[aboe]

to compile e17genmenu , you need the dev packages, from e17..
just install al the e17 devs it is not so big...

erme, is just a perl script that makes a gui to change some settings otherwise done with console...

[shadoi]

Thanks in advance.

Use this command to enable the smart maximize policy (this will likely be the default when e17 is released.):
enlightenment_remote -maximize-policy-set SMART

As far as packaging e17genmenu, erme, etc. goes, I'm not planning to package every E utility that pops up, only those that are produced by the enlightenment team. Mainly because there are already quite a few packages to maintain within the enlightenment project alone, I'm happy to add packages that get added the enlightenment CVS, but working in many different CVS trees/projects is not something I have time to do.

With that said, I would very much encourage anyone who is making a app or utility for enlightenment to email the enlightenment-devel@lists.sf.net mailing list with information about what you are creating and ask if it's appropriate to get it added to the project.

There are NO e17 enlightenment packages in that repository...! What can i do?

Did you follow the instructions re /etc/apt/preferences in the first post in this thread?

By the way, how do i install the backgrounds? I downloaded and copied them, but i can't run them.

[aboe]

open emblem in the terminal or in the configuration panel background selector, they must appear.

Thx..., i hadn't installed eutils... dumb me! :cool:

[andrewsawyer]

Thank you for the How-To, it has worked perfectly.

I'm now up and running in Enlightened Gnome and I love it.

I do however have a couple of questions - things I just can't get my head around.

There is a quick launch bar at the bottom, and it has 4 icons in it - Eterm, Firefox, IRC and GIMP. How do I add/remove from this? I have tried to drag from the Gnome Applications menu, but this crashed Enlightened.

Following from this, these programs are the only ones in the Favourite applications menu. How can I add/remove?

This one will be simple I'm sure, but I can't find it anywhere - how do you change the background?!?!

That's it. Thank you for the how-to. My screen looks great now - now if only I could get this other stuff sorted!

this is the ibar-module... you can disable this with left-clicking on the desktop and search the module-part.

Following from this, these programs are the only ones in the Favourite applications menu. How can I add/remove?

Left click on the desktop go to configuration panel, and menu editor...
or remove them in terminal : ~/.e/e/apps/favorite in there is a .order file...
with the names of the programs...clear the .order file..

This one will be simple I'm sure, but I can't find it anywhere - how do you change the background?!?!

Did you install e_utils?? if so there is a program called emblem...
download some new backgrounds from get-e.org and copy them into
~/.e/e/backgrounds... they will show up in emblem...or read the guide..
in get-e.org for other formats.

hope you enjoy e17 as much as I do

[Peturrr]

It looks like the repo is down. Can't connect to soulmachine.net.

[aboe]

you're right, soulmachine.net is completly down, I'm trying to reach shadoi..
for more info...

maybe somebody, could share some room to make a mirror....

How do you do this? I have to switch between Gnome and E17. Is it possible to integrate?

[fukusayo]

no I'm still having trouble configuring entrance myself....
and removed it. because gnome was in English, because entrance only speaks english...
Looks like I will have to stick with gdm. It's too bad though, entrance looks great.

[andrewsawyer]

How do you do this? I have to switch between Gnome and E17. Is it possible to integrate?

You can thank mendicant for posting this info on the forum in the first place. Makes it all possible.

Put this in regular terminal:

Quote:
sudo cp /usr/share/gnome/default.session ~/.gnome2/session

Then this:

Quote:
sudo gedit ~/.gnome2/session

Look for this line:

Quote:
1,RestartCommand=gnome-wm --sm-client-id default1

Change the like to look like this:

Quote:
1,RestartCommand=gnome-wm --default-wm enlightenment --sm-client-id default1

Save the file. Restart the X server (hit ctrl, alt, and backspace at the same time).

Then log back into Gnome. Enlightenment will start after a little while. Be very patient. The first time it took me a few minutes to log in., and my machine is pretty fast.

If it worked, you will be on your new desktop, using Enlightened Gnome.

This information was sourced from poofyhairguy's how-to.

[anatole]

thank you for this howto, i tried it and worked nice :)
one strange bug i found is that the iconify-fullscreen-close buttons work only with the deafult theme... anyone else experiencing this or am i the only person? :)
and, i couldn't find Entangle and Emblem. aren't they included in the packages, or is there some change about them i didn't notice? (i tried e17 once with hoary back then).

[aboe]

apt-get install e_utils...it is in that package...

and yes not everything from E17 is packaged...if you want everything...
start getting all the e17 devs...and download the cvs..to build the rest

[mjwood0]

Thanks for the great info! I now have a much better looking desktop!

But I can't seem to find this e_utils package anywhere... is it in the repos?

Edit:

Nevermind. It's eutils with no underscore...

Thanks again! Much nicer than regular gnome!!!

[EnderTheThird]

I tried installing using the easy_e17.sh script before, but didn't have any luck, so then I used the repo. I'm up and running in e17 and it's absolutely beautiful! The only problem is that my functionality is kinda screwed. I can't edit the programs available in the main menu or in the bottom launcher. When I go to the Configuration Panel, it's empty! How can I edit my settings in here so I can access all of my needed applications without needing to run them using a terminal?

[kperkins]

can't install genmenu (ver. 4.1.4).
Get this error when doing make:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfl
Any ideas?

[joflow]

install the eutils package, the configuration panel won't be empty anymore ;)

I got eutils up and running but I can't figure out how to add programs to the menu.

I can get into the configuration menu and start up the menu editor but none of the programs on my machine are listed. I'm trying to add gAIM and Evolution to the ibar...none of these programs are listed...just programs that aren't installed on my machine (xmms, sylpheed, KDE terminal, etc) and programs like firefox, x-chat, etc.

I think I must be missing something.

The "create icon" doesn't creat a .eap file. I click on save and nothing happens.

When I try the manual method...by editing icon.edc and running build.sh, it doesn't create a .eap file.

Something must be wrong with my install or I'm missing some package or something.

[joflow]

Does it have anything to do with root access? I just found out that I can't edit the icons of the pre-existing .eap files.

This is done with the e17genmenu, it creates a menu listing of gnome and/or kde apps...that are currently listed in de gnome/kde menus.

Some people are having problems, compiling this,
So I suggest to get all dev files that come with this repo...
and try and compile it...

don't know exactly what depencies e17genmenu has, but if you look close at the configure output, you can figure this one out...

good luck

[saidin]

I was able to get genmenu to compile without to many problems. I am having problems executing the program. It comes up with not being able to open the following:

Well, I cannot even find the file to chmod it....
Is this a file i need to create?

[joflow]

I need a C compiler.

[joflow]

I need a C compiler.

I realized that I needed the build-essential package but when I try to install it from the repo it says I need libc6-dev

When I try to install libc6-dev I get the following:

It isn't a problem about compiling, but there is a missing file: accessibility-keyboard.eap

There is a missing command, too. Here is a log:

Hey Kperkins , Im getting the same compiling error, can you tell me exactly what did you do to solve this ? what libraries did you install??

Strange, I downloaded the latest version of of e17genmenu (4.15) and when I untar it and run ./configure or sh ./configure it says:

I guess you need to run

./autogen.sh

then you can do ./configure if you need some switches or just run make.

Any chance of an update? The EAP editor isn't broken anymore on cvs, but i'm not sure I really want to compile from cvs (i'm scared :) )

[aboe]

There is going to be an update soon, but Shadoi is working at a automatic script that will pull e17 from cvs and build updates...

He has done this before, but the scripts were crude, so it will take some time to smooth it out... be patient please...I'm waiting on the script too, too make nightly builds for sarge..

[krye]

Ok, thanks!! :D

[kazuya]

this is great. awesome guide.

[yankcrime]

I have been using e17 repositories via http://ubuntu.nooms.de/ in hoary, but this is incompatible with breezy (upgraded the beginning of this week).

I switched over to shadoi repositories but I have a persistent error with directfb. The error [.xsesions-error] reports:

/usr/bin/enlightenment: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-0.9.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had (note past tense) libdirectfb-0.9-22 and tried libdirectfb-0.9-24 to no avail. the libdirectfb-0.9-20 is uninstallable. In searching edevelop.org, I noticed Shadoi said directfb is unnecessary. Especially building from cvs, I guess you can pass a `disable directfb` argument to the compiler to bypass its necessity. Is there an equivalent to be done with the binary build? Also, it seems evas provides the directfb package, but it doesn't seem to be available in my case.

I am using the legacy nvidia driver on an AMD using kernel 2.6.12.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

[aboe]

I have directfb22 installed, all the files, and use a new build not from the repo anymore, because of the updates lately, and because I maintain the dutch translation...

the shadoi repo is a bit out-dated at the moment, hopefully it will be updated soon.

help----I installed entrance and set it as default but now I can't log in. I can log as another user but not me. It acts like it is going to let me in and then displays the log-in screen again. I can't get at anything. Doesn't accept my password through the other log-ins. I Don't know what to do.

I set e17 as the window manager just before all this happened but that worked fine. It was after I set entrance and a couple of other selections from synaptic.

any idea's!!!:rolleyes::confused:

trying to install e17genmenu



someuser@somecomputer:~/e17genmenu$ ./autogen.sh
Running aclocal...
aclocal: configure.in: 19: macro `AM_ENABLE_SHARED' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 20: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 87: macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library

am I missing some packages?

EDIT:

Ok fixed that but now getting

noglobal.h:8:19: error: Ecore.h: No such file or directory
global.h:9:24: error: Ecore_File.h: No such file or directory

EDIT #2

Figured it out

How did you fix it?
What packages did you install?

How did you fix it?

would like to know this as well as I'm going to be trying to compile e17genmenu tonight.

[eric0919]

I tried following this how to and everything seemed to work, but there is no choice for enlightenment when I log in. Is there a way I can fix this or did i mess up the install?

thanks Eric

[aboe]

look in /usr/share/xsession if there is an enlightenment.desktop
if not to create one is very simple

sudo cp gnome.desktop enlightenment.desktop
sudo (editor eg. nano, vi, cream) enlightenment.desktop

and change exec=blah,blah/gnome to /usr/bin/enlightenment remove comments to gnome or replace gnome with enlightenment...

good luck

[eric0919]

Thanks I got it. now I just need to gifure out how to configure it.

[ssam]

are there powerpc builds?

[aboe]

not in this repo...you could ask the maintainers from get-e.org...or locate the irc channel for enlightenment and ask..

[N8K99]

Hey Great tutorial, thanx for the effort and the clarity. I used it to install e17 but didn't really like the way it felt on default and didn't really enjoy the themes I found on the InterWeb. I reverted to the e16 which can be found in the Ubuntu Universe, but the inclusion of Entrance really did make a difference. I hate the incredible crawling speed of Gnome on my machine (low memory low budget) so I am just running enlightenment as my environment.

[nastya]

How did you fix it?
What packages did you install?

I had the same errors as him when I first tried to run ./autogen.sh. After doing some searching in google, I installed the following packages:libevas0-dev libecore0-dev libeet0-dev libcurl3-dev libengrave0-dev libgnome-dev. After installing them, it compiled fine.

[mustang]

Sorry for the somewhat offtopic question but I'm not familar with how windows managers work on Ubuntu.

So if I install enlightenment, will another option pop in on the login screen? This won't in any way affect my current GNOME windows manager right? Thanks

[anatole]

that's correct. at the gdm you will have the option to choose enlightenment, or go on with good old gnome :)

on the other hand, anyone (mainly aboe :D ) : any news about an update? i cannot wait for the working eapp editor... i would made the switch but i'm too lazy for making the eap files from a terminal :)

[aboe]

The repo update to the new cvs has had a few delays, mainly because the nightly builds code isn't finished. And Shadoi is very busy at the moment...

I will contact him soon and post the results...

[N8K99]

If you are bold and install Entrance from the repositories on Shadoi's blog like the HOWTO suggests, then you will have a new login page based upon the Enlightenment Package. I really like this login page much better than the 'human' one provided by Ubuntu. Part of the appeal of Linux-world for me is the complete configurations options that are available, so I removed gdm and nautilus in order to speed things up on my old system. Using the packages from Enlightenment (I don't like the e17 themes or feel right now so I stayed with the E16 that is in Ubuntu's Universe) I have got a dsktop computer that is nearly a decade old running some pretty fancy programs like OOo 2.0 without very much hassle whatsoever. I am quite happy with the progress that I am making here!! :D

[ch13f121]

How do use the perl script, and how do I get genmenu installed, I haven't got the e17 devs. I don't even know what they are, so how am I gonna install em? :p can anyone give me the names of the dev packages?

EDIT: I've got everything except that perl script for erms, I still don't know what to do with that. BUT when I try to install genmenu, I get this when I ./autogen.sh
Running aclocal...
./autogen.sh: line 8: aclocal: command not found

How do I fix this, better yet can anyone explain WHY this is happening?

[Strangerdave]

Okay I tried this How To and I wasn't sure how to get enlightenment working (I am a newbie here) so I typed it into a terminal and got this:

you didn't try to start it while you were in gnome/kubuntu did you? if you did, then that's why. go back to your login screen after you install it, and click sessions. from there you want to select enlightenment

[Strangerdave]

Ha Ha ha......um yes, that was what I was trying to do:confused:

I did what you said and it seems to be working. Thanks for the info.

[darkmatter]

How did you fix it?
What packages did you install?

Other than the missing dev libraries for E (easily solved), the 'AM_<whatever>' errors are the result of not having the appropriate version of automake installed.

E17 and the libraries/apps built for it (including e17genmenu) require automake 1.7+ to compile/install.

[Jonne]

ok, i haven't managed to compile e17genmenu, so what am I missing?

I installed everything listed in this thread (I hope), but when I do 'sudo sh ./autogen.sh', i get this:
Running aclocal...
Running autoheader...
Running autoconf...
Running libtoolize...
cp: failed to preserve ownership for `ltmain.sh': Operation not permitted
libtoolize: cannot copy `/usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh' to `ltmain.sh'
./autogen.sh: line 11: glibtoolize: command not found


edit1:
ok, i found it:
I unpacked the archive on my fat32 partition (I use it to move files between windows and Linux, and basicly as the my documents folder in my home directory, even though i haven't booted windows in weeks), which meant that i couldn't set permissions. (or it gave problems setting them).

When i moved everything on a regular partition, and set the permissions right, it seems to work. (I'm not done yet, so i might run into other errors)

edit2:
Now i'm stuck here: i did 'make', and i get the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljpeg

[Bagger]

Does anybody have any idea when Shadoi might be updating his e17 repository? Or do we need to find another source for the latest e17 like eLive.

Yes I suppose I could build it from CVS and may have to but I rather like the way these apt's work as opposed to Suse which I have been using for years.

If anybody has any news on Shodoi I'm sure it would be apreciated by all.

Thanks

[joflow]

Shadoi made a post on the edevelop forum saying that his "package repository should be updated tonight or tomorrow".. that was on Nov. 1st. Any word yet?

"Anyone got a clue how I can solve this? Sorry for this large post,...."

I may be wrong about this but it seems I saw something in a post here at ubuntu that there is an issue with the gcc version. Once again I'm not sure but I seem to recall that ubuntu installs gcc 3.4 and you need 3.3... something like that anyway. I'd probably have more information for you if I'd had this problem but as yet have not had the time to booger up my linux box.

[Bagger]

Shadoi made a post on the edevelop forum saying that his "package repository should be updated tonight or tomorrow".. that was on Nov. 1st. Any word yet?

I've been checking his site at http://shadoi.soulmachine.net/ pretty regular of late and have seen nothing indicating he has updated the repository.

I' may switch to the elive repository, it seems to be more current.

When I try to run e17genmenu I get this error:

e17genmenu: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed libssl and the dev package, but no luck. Also, if I can't get this to work, is there another way to add menu icons?

I've never had much luck with e17genmenu and I really do not want all of the items in the menu anyway.
The way I do it is first to create my .edc file... something as follows

images {
image: "icon.png" COMP;
}
collections {
group {
name: "icon";
max: 48 48;
parts {
part {
name: "image";
mouse_events: 0;
description {
state: "default" 0.0;
aspect: 1.0 1.0;
image.normal: "icon.png";
}
}
}
}
}

save as icon.edc, then compile with the following build script

#!/bin/sh
# actually compile an edje file with all the gfx etc.
edje_cc $@ -id . -fd . icon.edc kcontrol.eap
# add eap properties to the file - they are ALL optional EXCEPT name$
# and exe is optional for directory .eap files
enlightenment_eapp \
kcontrol.eap \
-set-name "kcontrol" \
-set-generic "kcontrol" \
-set-comment "kcontrol" \
-set-exe "kcontrol" \
-set-win-name "kcontrol" \
-set-win-class "kcontrol"

cp kcontrol.eap $HOME/.e/e/applications/all/

then go to the menu editor under the configuration editor.

Hope this helps

I followed the guide, but I think E16 got installed instead :o

[tomski]

thanks for this how too :-)

i did have this in hoary but this time round with breezy it rocks!!

i did add the following :
gcc++ 3.4
flex
build-essential

and after i installed i logged in once then back to tty-2 with ctrl+alt+F4 logged in as a user then ran e17genmenu

and it worked thanks

[penvzila]

there is a repository listed here:

http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-12856.html

that has some stuff that isn't in this one. and it works at the moment.

I'm trying that kanotix one... might work :)

[anatole]

this ?build? is buggy as hell... i get segfaults every few minutes.


it has quite many broken things because the state of the cvs which it was built from had these bugs too (due to the mass amount of 'new' stuff in that back then)... the cvs is in a state far more developed than this one, but it seems like we have to wait a bit longer to get an update..

[Bagger]

I get the occasional segfault too. This is not really intended for general use, remember, it's still in development.

I've been running e17 for sometime as my primary wm without any problems. I have a few issues with KDE apps but generally I run both KDE and Gnome apps with very little problem. Personally I'm very pleased with E17 and always look forward to the next cvs update as it has almost always been more reliable then previous updates.

[penvzila]

My segfaults have all come from evidence and etkconfig. Evidence stopped doing it a while ago, but I still can't start etkconfig without a segfault.

[Jonne]

I switched to the elive repositories, but I seem to have trouble upgrading (or switching to the cvs version of) 'entrance', 'evidence', and 'examine'.

They are held back, because I don't have efl-all. efl-all, in turn, depends on:
xlibmesa-dev
xlibmesa-gl-dev or
libglu1-xorg-dev

Where can I get those, and which one of the 3 should I use?

I tried googling for a deb of libglu1-xorg-dev , but it won't install because of a conflict (I can't tell what it's conflicting with).

how do you guys get around the fact that when you use a gtk app ie nautilus the desktop goes black, similar also happens with xfce in the way that when i use nautilus the left and right click menu changes to the right click menu you get in a folder

[aboe]

how do you guys get around the fact that when you use a gtk app ie nautilus the desktop goes black, similar also happens with xfce in the way that when i use nautilus the left and right click menu changes to the right click menu you get in a folder

use nautilus --no-desktop instead of nautilus

that will start nautilus without taking over the screen.

i 've got a couple e17 questions:

1. can anyone tell me how to get icons for the e17 submenus? (like in this screenshot?) (http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=25682) i think e17genmenu does it automatically, but how do i do it manually?

2. does anyone know where i can find an eclair theme that matches the e17 'winter' theme? (that's the theme being used in the screenshot above)

thanks!

[Redindian]

Hello, I have installed E17, it is working fine. I have downloaded and unpacked e17genmenu in my home folder, ran ./autogen.sh. Went well. Then ran make.....gave me some error related to ecore. I'm sure i have installed automake 1.7 and ecore. I also installed eutils, i do have an icon called eapp_edit in my engage menu but its not working. Any idea what i'm doing wrong here?

maybe you forgot the dev packages...for ecore??

I followed the How-to but It installed E16 :confused: I don't understand. When I look in synaptic, E17 isn't listed, only E16.

Make sure to update your repositories after adding the e17 one, Also check this part

add this to your /etc/apt/preferences (if there isn't any create one)
Code:
Package: enlightenment
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: enlightenment-data
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999

what would be the best way to update to the latest e17 as shadoi's repo has not changed since 14-Oct-2005 with enlightenment at 0.16.999.018
but the latest enlightenment is at 0.16.999.022.
should i use elive or cvs & how would these changes affect what i already have

[Fyrzen]

The e17 package alone is incredibly stable, the only errors i've encountered were segfaults(according to e17), which I caused by mistyping the names of some backgrounds in an enlightenment-remote add-bg command.

But there's one thing i don't get, i'm missing a lot of features, the get-e guide always says to go to the configuration panel to change some options, but i've got nothing there, it's empty. What am I missing here?

the packages are old, and e17 itself is under heavy development, so there are a lot of features / modules /etc added to the cvs that this version is missing.

I come bearing fresh fruits straight from the Edevelop forums where i asked if the soulmachine repository will be updated and :

I'm updating the repository today.

here is the thread (sorry for the cross site link) (http://edevelop.org/node/2053#comment-4451)
so there we go
hopefully it will be a smooth update

I'm updating the repository today.We'll see about that. He said the same thing two months ago (http://edevelop.org/node/1717#comment-3829)...

[tomski]

Oh well i guess its back to hoping then eh! unless he's true to his word this time round

[Dr. Nick]

The CSV install following the guide on the forums is painless. You can tell a difference in the e17 interface due to the development between the 2. The CVS installs to a different flder, but you may have to remove this version to avoid conflict

If you decide to go CVS then either have a fast computer, or alot of time.
I started to CVS my laptop and it took 12hrs and hadnt even gotten half way (366p2 with 128mb ram). So i cancled it and used the shadoi build.

But on my amd 64 3000 desktop with 1GB ram the shadio version wouldnt work since its 386 but the cvs install took less than 2hrs total.

I heard the people at elive are supposed to have a new live cd out soon, not sure the exact date.

[drfalkor]

nice howto, but - when I start e17 the screen is black, and its loading loading loading,, and then I see a white background and nothing more happends ;)

This is great! It worked! Enlightenment is pretty snazzy. :D

Although, damn, this is very errorsome. Within the first 15 minutes it crashed -- twice. Is this... expected?

[Jonne]

yes it is.

Although you'll learn how to use it without crashing it. (If you do something, and it crashes, don't do the same thing again ;) ).

It's really like using Windows at this point. Except that the E17 people at least warn you the code is alpha quality ;).

i use e17 from cvs and it does not crash much...

[linuxun]

I did the install based on the directions in soulmachines wiki.

All appeared okay with menus, dock etc., but I just noticed that under configuration I get the config window but it is not populated with the icon selections. It's just blank.

Any ideas?

[mrgnash]

It ran once, complained about an IPC socket and now it just segfaults everytime - even after removal and reinstall :( Sigh.. and it looked so pretty too.

i read the very first post about adding shadoi repository so i added the line to apt list and made the preference file and got the public key but once i opened synaptic it keeps giving me an error saying that the line i added to the apt list is wrong i added this line right at the end of the apt list

deb http://soulmachine.net/breezy unstable

have i done something wrong, any ideas how to fix it.

[hvar]

Anybody know how to solve this wee little problem?

hvar@ubuntu:~/Desktop/e17genmenu$ ./autogen.sh
Running aclocal...
./autogen.sh: line 8: aclocal: command not found

Many thanks!

Fixed and Limed. ;)
Anyone having success with gnome w/ e17? I got it up and running and it's not crashing, but workspace one is very gnome and 2, 3, and 4 are pure enlightenment. How do I get workspace one like the other enlightenment workspaces?

[Resurrection]

I keep trying to get the key through either terminal or just direct download, but unfortunately I can't connect to http://soulmachine.net/ (http://soulmachine.net/). Any body know of another way to get the key?

Edit: Nevermind. Can connect now.

[tomski]

i would not bother with adding the shadoi repo as he is more interested in maintaining a debian repo & letting women get to him...!!!!!
(which you could allways try to add as a source but that may break some things)

there are a couple of other repos about try looking in the edevelop forum

[Resurrection]

Yeah I figured that out. It doesn't work for me anyway, so I just went back to XFCE4 for now. I was able to get E16 installed, but I didn't really like it for some reason.
