Ok, I've managed to get it working, but I still consider this a bug, so you can choose to do what you want with it. Let me explain, so maybe my information will assist you.
As I previously explained, when I would choose "E16-GNOME" from the session menu and log in, I would only get Gnome (and no E16/enlightenment). So I removed all my configuration files and found out it would work. So began copying things back one at a time, in a tedious, process-of-elimination fashion. In the end, if I kept my previous ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session directory in place, it would not work. But if I removed ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session, it worked fine. Here's the contents of the "offending" files. I have no clue this would keep E16 from starting up, but it does: # ls -l ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session total 4 -rw------- 1 mike mike 0 2009-01-28 00:18 %gconf.xml drwx------ 2 mike mike 4096 2009-04-24 22:50 required_components # cd required_components/ # ls -l total 4 -rw------- 1 mike mike 178 2009-01-28 00:26 %gconf.xml # cat %gconf.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="windowmanager" mtime="1233120310" type="string"> <stringvalue>metacity</stringvalue> </entry> </gconf> I see it mentions metacity here, which is strange, since I've always used e16-gnome since I first loaded Ubuntu 8.10. Anyway, hope this helps. -Mike -- e16-gnome not working with jaunty 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
