Download them to ~/.e/e/backgrounds load up your wallpaper chooser and select personal, select the background and voila.

[godora102192]

hey guys i have a little problem !!

i applied new theme to my e-17 but its seems that it has a BUG!!!

i have a black theme but when i click on my desktop the menu pops up but i CANT see the writing !!!!

can one of u guys UPLOAD a video for me that slow and shows how to change a theme so i can follow your steps and do it?? cause remember i can use the e-17 theme but i can't see the writing !!!!!

or does this thing have like "system restore"?????? so i can change it back to the original time that it was installed???

any help would be great!!

thank you :confused::confused:

Because E17 is under heavy development, some older themes don't work in the latest CVS version. You could try to remove the .edj file and restart, so E17 reverts back to the default theme

Don't use any other themes found it the repository than the default "bling, bling) theme, instead download the working themes at get-e (http://www4.get-e.org/Themes/E17/), Put them inside ~/.e/e/themes and choose them from the "personal themes" tab.

i did what you told me but it still shows me the SAME theme!!!!

and i downloaded that theme from www.get.e.org or it was from www.e17-stuff.org i am not sure!!

but how can i invert it to the DEFAULT theme again?? because i can't see ANY kind of writings EXCEPT when i am on the internet!!!!!

HELP:confused::confused::confused::(:(:(:(

[raul_]

Lol

don't worry. that happened to me a couple of times. You can change themes with the terminal.

enlightenment_remote -theme-set theme default.edj -restart

[godora102192]

thank you very much man!!!

it worked!!:)

Any ideas?

[d3br074]

I have same problem as fifthecho.

[godora102192]

how do i update e17???? how do i get the new updates???

[fifthecho]

Edit the "e17_cvs/e17/apps/e/po/POTFILES.in" file
Delete line #212 which contains "src/modules/exebuf/e_mod_config.c"
Then run "sudo ./easy_e17.sh -s -i"

Source: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-573610-highlight-.html

E then compiles fine. I'm not sure what functionality this may remove, but at least until we have a working CVS again, this works.

[d3br074]

thanks im trying it now

EDIT:: sweet it worked...now for the rest of them...

[fifthecho]

Are you still getting the same error?
I completed a -u upgrade with no errors (or need to change code) yesterday, so CVS may have stabled out some.

[Metacarpal]

For those who wonder: giving easy_e17.sh your sudo password does not present any security risk. I went through the code to make sure that information never leaves the script. It's friendly.

Nothing personal, TimmyJ - just my personal brand of paranoia at work. :)
Nicely written script, by the way. This is my first try with e17, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks.

[thelostsoul]

Wow I've officially moved into e17 and am loving it. I've tried just about everything - GNOME, KDE, KDE4, Openbox, Fluxbox, XFCE, so many different things, but e17 is just the best!

Thanks for this script!! I run it almost every morning to get updates!


Only problem I have is with entropy - it when I run it, my computer starts going real slow, and even when I close it, it keeps going slow. I have to actually reboot (restart gdm doesn't help) to get it to run at normal speeds.

[Rui Pais]

This is the error I got. What did I do wrong?

Hi,
the problem is that the instructions on the 1st post are outdated and are incorrect for feisty.
You did not acted according to the error output but gone ahead on instructions when the 1st one was not finished and you still don't had your compilations and dependencies all installed and configured.

Try use this ones instead. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3082892&postcount=481)

Good luck.

I, too am receiving an evolve compilation error. Inspiron 6000D. The newest CVS must have broken something.

Same here as well...Any ideas?

[Rui Pais]

And you need evolve for?...


Listen this thread suggest an installation from CVS using a script.
Thats ok. Simplify the job and offers options like update or partial installation etc.

But you can't use it blindly and without a though on what its going on.
It's a script of one of e developers and tuned for his use.
You are not a developer. Don't need to install every single e app and any pre-alpha, prototype, testing, developer tools ,etc. OK?
Why download code and compile stuff that you don't use or is highly pre-alpha?

It's not the cvs that it's broken, it's the new script that add some extra apps to the list, that may or may not compile.

Again, If you are not a DEVELOPER you don't need to track every single app that appears one17 CVS server.

The last version of script adds elitaire, engycad, enthrall, evolve, expedite and rage. Neither it's fundamental for e17.
you need to do a file name .easy_e17.conf with something like (thats my list):
--skip=edb,evfs,entropy,edje_editor,emotion,eclair,e mphasis,empower,engage,entrance,entrance_edit_gui, ephoto,estickies,extrackt,deskshow,emu,flame,langu age,mixer,moon,photo,winselector,snow,rain,taskbar
Just add evolve (or better, all the new entries) to --skip list.

Thats all.

This is just a quick how-to on downloading, compiling, and installing the desktop shell Enlightenment 17 from the CVS repository. E17 is still in development, so do not expect a fully stable, bug-free environment. That said: I use E17 on a daily basis and rarely run into any hiccups.

READ: Before following this guide please remove any previously installed versions of E17 (aka from any repository) as they may cause errors in the process.

A quick disclaimer: this is my first how-to, so feel free to offer any constructive criticism.

Lets Start!

1.) First we want to install all required packages for E17, and all the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries to install. This list may be a bit of overkill, but it will get the job done.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs libtool libltdl3-dev automake1.9 autotools-dev libpopt-dev libcurl3-dev libx11-dev x11proto-xext-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libssl-dev libfreetype6-dev bison flex xlibs-dev gettext libimlib2-dev libxml2-dev libxcursor-dev libgtk1.2-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev libxine-dev libxkbfile-dev libsqlite3-dev giblib-dev libxmu-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libtag1-dev libtagc0-dev giblib-dev libasound2-dev2.) Now that all that is out of the way we need to get the script that will make downloading/compiling/installing E17 very easy. All credit goes to Morlenxus for this great tool.

From your home directory, run the following command
wget http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh3.) Now we need to made the script executable and then run it! This script will prompt you for your sudo password, enter it. This script will take quite some time to run, so try to be patient NOTES: This script will install all the applications and libraries it installs into /opt/e17 so as not to interfere with other versions of enlightenment. You can change this location through scripts options. This script will install ALL the applications and libraries available in the E17 CVS tree. You may or may not want all these apps. You can easily skip any library or app using the --skip flag with the script.

chmod +x easy_e17.sh
./easy_e17.sh -i4.) Now we have enlightenment all installed and working. The next step it create a desktop entry so that you can log-in to enlightenment from GDM.

Create a desktop entry called e17.desktop
sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/e17.desktopCopy/Paste the following into the newly created file
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=E-17
Comment=
Exec=/opt/e17/bin/enlightenment
Icon=
Type=ApplicationThats all you really need to do. Now using enligthenment is as simple as logging out, selecting the E-17 session and logging back in. Any time you want to update enlightenment and related libs/apps, simply re-run the easy_e17 script. For more information on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, and the applications that use them, please see http://www.get-e.org and
http://www.enlightenment.org.au

Suggestion: due to the fact that enlightenment was installed in /opt/e17 it is a good idea to add /opt/e17/bin to your PATH so that it is easier to run all those great applications you just installed.

To do this open your /etc/environment with your favorite text editor

sudo gedit /etc/environmentthen add the following lines to the bottom

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/opt/e17/bin

following step one I get this:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs libtool libltdl3-dev automake1.9 autotools-dev libpopt-dev libcurl3-dev libx11-dev x11proto-xext-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libssl-dev libfreetype6-dev bison flex xlibs-dev gettext libimlib2-dev libxml2-dev libxcursor-dev libgtk1.2-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev libxine-dev libxkbfile-dev libsqlite3-dev giblib-dev libxmu-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libtag1-dev libtagc0-dev giblib-dev libasound2-dev

Hi RAV TUX,

Thanks this Rui Pais, it would be really helpful if this thread could be closed and if you could start a new updated thread.

If you could start a updated thread anyway even if this thread isn't closed it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking at your directive now.

also please refer to this thread in general help:
