Updated Link for Enlightenment install Thread.



I thought I would create a new post on the installation of Enlightenment E17 (DR17) on Ubuntu.


The installation of Enlightenment E17 sited in this thread uses the repositories created by the Elbuntu team. Special thanks goes out to all of the Elbuntu developers for taking the time to package E17 for Ubuntu and making the repositories available to the community.

More information on the Elbuntu project can be found here.

Now lets begin the installation process for E17.

Lets make sure our system is up to date.

In a terminal run the following command.

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude upgrade

Next we will add the needed repository for E17 to our apt sources list.

In a terminal copy and past the following command.

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

There are three repositories available, with available packages for Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft, and Feisty Fawn, "edevelop.org" and "e17.dunnewind.net". Add one of the following repositories to the end of your apt sources list.

Save and close gedit.

Add the key.

wget http://lut1n.ifrance.com/repo_key.asc

sudo apt-key add repo_key.asc

Install Enlightenment E17

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install e17

Log out of Gnome. Select session in your log in manager. Enlightenment should be listed. Select Enlightenment as your session and log in.


Please Read Before Posting With Installation Problems

If you encounter dependency errors when installing E17, please check for the presence of an /etc/apt/preferences file. If you are using an apt preferences file, please check for pinning of any enlightenment packages. Please remove any reference to Enlightenment from your /etc/apt/preferences file if listed. Then run

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install e17

If problems with installing E17 still occur, then please post the output you recieve from apt in your post.

You can also contact Lutin or Sp4rKy on the Elbuntu IRC channel at irc.freenode.net with any problems you encounter with installation.

Thank you.

[Lut!n]

Works fine here, edevelop.org no longer seems to be down. just a bit slow

[Frak]

Thanks, e17 is the most beautiful, useful, and enventive (pun intended) desktop I've seen.

E17 replace gnome or not ?

[dakini]

Very nice Thanks for the tutorial!

[Sandman32]

Nice howto, worked like a charm. However, in the editing your sources section you are missing an s at the end of sources.

Other than that perfect!

isn't enlightenment in edgy repos? and in most uptodate version? or am i missing something

Yes. The version in the official Ubuntu repo is 16.7.2. This is the stable version, but E17 has been in the works for a very long time now (at least two years).

But even E16 is outdated as the newest version is 16.8.5.
The E17 repo information can be found here.
