william Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Good initiative bvc!!! :lol: I've installed Etcher, Ebony, Ebindings (works great) and evidence (I got some problems concerning icons that was not showed due to some libs that were not previously installed, but now it's working like a charm) I'm still having problems in getting icons inside the inconbar. For those who want some help, give a look at this tutorial, for a beginner like me, It was quite complicated, but at this time I have the icon bar on desktop. This unsupported forum doesn't have a good audience (enlightenment user represents 3% among others WM users) so for those who have the intention to face a challenge go ahead. BTW: I didn't succed in changing default backgrounds. william MDK 9.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Well it starts, and I get the left-click menu with text (got lt & rt before doing the symlinks but no text :? ) but the only thing that'll execute from the menus is exit :lol: :roll: . I'll try on ML9.1 now I guess :roll: ....yes I tried this on debian :P . Just alien -d pkgname.rpm will turn an rpm into .debs :wink: I had to get Etcher, Ebony, Ebindings, and Evidence elswhere.

bvc Posted August 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Ok :roll: all I get in mandrake is the twm wm :?: :? I guess I should have seen if these rpms were workable before posting this, but I figured if rpms were finally available, it would be. Oh well.....next :?: :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 C'mon bvc, compile them for us! :lol: I've actually been waiting for the new Enlightenment, and I thought my wait was over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 If I can find a quick fix to get it started instead of twm I would play with it, but compile rpms :lol: :roll: ....you're funny :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 bvc, i had the same problem, the fix is to (if you are using GDM): 1) su 2) change line 2 of '/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Enlightenment' from: exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession enlightenment to exec /usr/bin/enlightenment 3) Logout and try it!

iphitus Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Also, If you have Eterm installed, you have to remove it and the older imlib2 stuff. THen install E17. Once you install E17 to get Eterm back: Install libast2 (urpmi libast2) Get the Eterm rpm and rpm -i --nodeps Eterm-123.12.i586.rpm or whatever it's called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 There is an Eterm rpm here http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/mandrak...2-2mdk.i586.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Thanks rcxau! That got it started but with the same prob as debian. The only app I have in the lt-click menu (no longer have a rt-click :roll: ...anyone else lose the rt-click menu?) is xterm and it doesn't execute :shock: ....XTERM!....how dumb is that? Eterm is also in the menu but I can't install Eterm because its deps are an older imlib2 and its loaders :roll: ....could compile I guess, I use to compile Eterm all the time....it's easy, but I don't think it'll execute if xterm won't. Am I the only one having this prob?...and no rt-click menu prob? I've tried to see if there were any keyboard shortcuts to bring up....well, anything, but nothing. If I could get ebindings open I could edit the menu....hopefully :lol: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 See what I said about Eterm, above. That has how to install it. Just install libast2 Then force the install of Eterm, I have a link to an rpm above. It works fine James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 In gnome I started ebindings and edited the menu......NOTHING will start :shock: aterm, xterm, xmms, mozilla, wvdial, and E17 does have keybindings...one of them being Ctrl>Alt>Insert which I edited to start aterm.....NOPE. I even changed the menu entries in ebindings to the full paths (/usr/bin/whatever). I don't get it. Nothing in the logs. Does E have a log somewhere? I haven't found one. [EDIT]I give up...where did you get a libast2 rpm? I see debian pkgs (of course :P ) but only libast1 rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 oh, i made a mistake, sorry bvc, it's libast1 Just urpmi libast1 And forcing Eterm fubars Esetroot I decided to try xv while writing my reply the fisrt time. Not only didn't it have transparency :( :( :( It crashed, it crashed X too <edit>chbg does transparecy!! yay!!</edit> James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 bvc, regarding the menus, check if the symlinks was created in the correct place: [william@poseidon william]$ ls usr/share/enlightenment/data/fontsborzoib.ttf CVS/ menu.ttf@ nationff.ttf text.ttf@ With eterm I had it installed before e17 installation and during e17's libs / apps installations I got some complaints related to conflicts that were solved with --nodeps. I can't remember exactly which component(s) complained about the version of a previous installed lib. During enlightenment installation I had to use --nodeps only with evas because freetype hadn't been recognized. All other components were installed properly (i think). Ebindings, Ebony, Evidence and Etcher were installed with rpms what made things easier. Don't give up !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
