HOWTO: installation of E17 from CVS (UPDATED)

[neonl]

Rui, I have one doubt: what can I do to use the PrintScreen key to do screenshots without having the screenshot module inserted into a shelf?

hi rui,
your theme is getting cooler every day it seems.
i noticed that there is a tiny bug in the default theme which you seem to be continuing in your new theme. temperature module doesn't indicate temperature and popups of forecast miss indication of place and day, popup of calendar misses indication of month. they are present in the older themes (screenshot included).
another bug, which however seems to be general to e17, is that e.g. gimp's splash screen doesn't show the custom theme's windowborders but the default theme's ones.

by the way, net compiled fine for me this morning (CET).

greetings
georg

Thanks.
Well, i don't have that... those modules here work normally... Are you using the latest versions of my themes (the one available on e17-themes)?

Hi, RM,

So there isn't nothing that we (by we I mean the common user) can do to make it better?

well that i don't know... i wish an answer to that too... it's a little annoying and ugly (i had an idea that it starts to happen only a month ago or so)

You can tune that from:
Configuration Panel -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Key Bindings

If it won't list key 'Print', press add key and follow instructions that appear on screen (tip: use Launch: Definied Command for simplicity).

You can set it to use scrot (use scrot -h for options) or another app from other DE. I use gnome screenshot that i like a lot.

I was, and I have the same problem...

Thank you, issue solved.

McDuff, neonl,
try from console (CTRL+F1) or from another DE to:

mv ~/.e ~/.e_TMP

and login to e17 and check if a fresh .e profile still have issues...
(you can back to previous profile by mv .e_TMP back to ~/.e again)


PS. module net here compiled ok now, too.

I haven't been having any problems with the net or forcast modules, Rui, just to let you know.

To change to home directory, it is cd ~
Your home directory is /home/username

Actually, there's an even easier way to change to the home directory:

cd

You don't need the tilde (~).
