Hi :) I'm new to the list, but used e17 some years ago on JAD, based on Suse. I liked it, but wasn't fine with it's instability, it was much to experimental for my needs.
Actually my main Linux installation is 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 amd64, based on Hardy. The machine is a mobo ASUS M2A-VM HDMI ACPI BIOS Revision 2302 with HDMI and on-board sound disabled, CPUmodel 15.107.2 "AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2350" 2.1 GHz, memory Size 1 GB + 896 MB, the sound card is an Envy24 based Terratec EWX 24/96 and in addition I'm using an USB MIDI device from Swissonic. It has got an ATA and a SATA hard disk and a SATA DVD-RAM drive. The monitor is an old CRT one, EIZO FlexScan F522-M and I guess it's transistors are on the rocks. Other WMs/DEs for this installation are Kwin/KDE4 and the default GNOME, that's why X sessions are started by GDM. I consider to install Ion too. Over a long period I preferred KDE3 and in addition Ion2, for now most often I run GNOME sessions. The kernel is the 2.6.29-1-multimedia-amd64 rt kernel. This machine is fine for nearly all Linux applications I need, troubles are for MIDI, because of jitter for external devices, because of the proprietary driver for the integrated ATI Radeon X 1250-based graphics and the frequencies for the monitor, which has nothing to do with it's transistors. Only old Linux installations were able to set the frequencies, but it seems to be impossible for actual Linux installations. Enlightenment was installed by the SVN revision 41746 source. I had some unwanted effects, after changing to a GNOME session there were links to the drives on the desktop of GNOME, that shouldn't be there and e17's 'main menu > Internet' did only adapt one entry I added manually to the GNOME menu, but missed other entries for this sub menu, while other sub menus, where I didn't add anything manually, seems to be completely adapted from the GNOME menu. I decided to install e17 again and to discard ~/.e. FWIW, this is what I did: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~$ rm -r .e ~$ cat /usr/share/xsessions/e17.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=e17 Name[de]=e17 Comment=This session logs you into e17 Comment[de]=Diese Sitzung meldet Dich an e17 an Exec=/usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start Type=Application ~$ cd /usr/src/e e$ sudo ntpdate ntp.favey.ch 14 Aug 15:32 e$ svn up Updated to revision 41761. e$ cd ./trunk/eina eina$ ./autogen.sh eina$ make eina$ sudo make install eina$ sudo ldconfig eina$ make clean eina$ cd ../eet eet$ ./autogen.sh eet$ sudo make install eet$ sudo ldconfig eet$ make clean eet$ cd ../evas evas$ ./autogen.sh evas$ sudo make install evas$ sudo ldconfig evas$ make clean evas$ cd ../ecore ecore$ ./autogen.sh ecore$ sudo make install ecore$ sudo ldconfig ecore$ make clean ecore$ cd ../embryo embryo$ ./autogen.sh embryo$ sudo make install embryo$ sudo ldconfig embryo$ make clean embryo$ cd ../edje edje$ ./autogen.sh edje$ sudo make install edje$ sudo ldconfig edje$ make clean edje$ cd ../efreet efreet$ ./autogen.sh efreet$ sudo make install efreet$ sudo ldconfig efreet$ make clean efreet$ cd ../e_dbus e_dbus$ ./autogen.sh e_dbus$ sudo make install e_dbus$ sudo ldconfig e_dbus$ make clean e_dbus$ cd ../e e$ ./autogen.sh [snip] config.status: WARNING: po/Makefile.in.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting config.status: creating config.h config.status: config.h is unchanged ./config.status: line 1451: ./stamp-h1: Permission denied config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing default-1 commands config.status: creating po/POTFILES config.status: setting ALL_LINGUAS in configure.in is obsolete config.status: creating po/Makefile Summary: * project.........: enlightenment 0.16.999.062 * prefix..........: /usr/local * CFLAGS..........: -g -O2 * LDFLAGS.........: * enabled modules.: +ibar +ibar +dropshadow +clock +pager +battery +temperature +cpufreq +ibox +start +exebuf +winlist +fileman +fileman-opinfo +wizard +conf +conf-wallpaper +conf-wallpaper2 +conf-theme +conf-colors +conf-fonts +conf-borders +conf-icon-theme +conf-mouse-cursor +conf-transitions +conf-startup +conf-intl +conf-imc +conf-profiles +msgbus-lang +conf-engine +conf-applications +conf-desks +conf-desk +conf-display +conf-desklock +conf-screensaver +conf-dpms +conf-shelves +conf-keybindings +conf-mousebindings +conf-edgebindings +conf-mouse +conf-window-display +conf-window-focus +conf-window-remembers +conf-window-manipulation +conf-menus +conf-clientlist +conf-dialogs +conf-performance +conf-winlist +conf-exebuf +conf-paths +conf-mime +conf-interaction +conf-scale +gadman +mixer +illume +syscon +everything +systray * disabled modules: -connman [snip] e$ sudo make all install e$ sudo ldconfig e$ make clean e$ sudo ntpdate ntp.favey.ch 14 Aug 16:30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It makes me wonder, if I had to run the last ./autogen.sh by sudo, because of the denied permission. A well maintained repository for e17 would be fine, because it takes around 1 hour to compile everything that's needed. On the GNOME session where I compiled e17, I installed and then launched by user 'gconf-editor', by apps > nautilus > desktop unchecked 'volumes visible' and logged out and in again. The mess original caused by e17 became more worse then before. I restarted, nothing did change. Then 'gconf-editor' was launched by 'sudo', I unchecked 'volumes visible' and restarted. By 'gconf-editor' 'volumes visible' still is unchecked, but there are *links* on the Desktop and 'strange' files in ~/Desktop. ~$ ls Desktop home.desktop root.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_11.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_12.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_13.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_14.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_1.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_5.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_6.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_7.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_8.desktop |storage_serial_1ATA_SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9AQ308387_9.desktop |storage_serial_L24K9GLG_10.desktop |storage_serial_L24K9GLG_1.desktop |storage_serial_L24K9GLG_5.desktop |storage_serial_L24K9GLG_8.desktop |storage_serial_L24K9GLG_9.desktop tmp.desktop What are 'home.desktop', 'root.desktop' and 'tmp.desktop' used for? I guess it should be possible just to delete the links from ~/Desktop, *after any mounted device is unmounted*, so this seems to be solved, I'll do it later, resp. I'll delete those files by running another Linux install. Hopefully there are no serious changes for settings e.g. in /etc done by e17. I've got backups ;). After logging out the GNOME session, I logged in an e17 session, this is fine, resp. I suspect it will be a PITA to set X for e17 sessions on Ubuntu. I'm missing the flashy environment I know from the past, at the moment it's odd. Anyhow, I'll set up e17 later and search for themes etc., but I won't be able to search the archive, because it seems to be off. Any hints are welcome!
