Hi,

Image

My E17 package is now ready for testing. I have built a single package containing the following applications:

Quote:
e17, e_modules, e_utils, eclair, ecore, edb, edje, edje_editor, edje_viewer, eet, efreet, elicit, embryo, emotion, empower, engage, engrave, enhance, enity, enterminus, entice, entrance, entrance_edit_gui, entropy, epdf, epeg, ephoto, epsilon, esmart, estickies, etk, etk-perl, evas, evfs, ewl, examine, exhibit, exml, express, iconbar, imlib2_loaders & imlib2_tools


E17's dependencies (not found on default install) are:

Quote:
imlib2, giblib, scrot & xine-lib


E17's full dependency list (including those found on a default install) is:

Quote:
alsa-lib, avahi, bzip2, curl, dbus, dbus-glib, expat, fontconfig, freetype, gcc, gcc-g++, gconf, gimp, glib2, gnome-vfs, gtk+2, imlib2, libcroco, libdrm, libgsf, libidn, libjpeg, libpng, librsvg, libtermcap, libtiff, libtool, libungif, libxml2, libxslt, mesa, ncurses, openssl, orbit2, pango, poppler, popt, readline, sambaclient, sqlite, taglib, xine-lib, xorg & zlib


You can get the packages easily by directing netpkg to "http://tuxgames.net/e17" and downloading "e17" as it should grab the available deps there auto-magically.

Or you can do it by hand:

The package:
e17-07.02.08-i486-44.1.md5
e17-07.02.08-i486-44.1.tgz

Oh, and to get the GTK+2 themes to carry over to the GTK apps you will need to add a new file to your home directory:

.gtkrc-2.0 (a hidden file in your home directory). The contents of the file should contain:

Code:
 gtk-font-name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 10"
 gtk-theme-name = "Zen"
 gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"


You can change these values if you'd like. These files will be incorporated into desktop*.tgz later on before E17 is released.

Want to use the new "entranced" login manager?

Image

Then add this code to "/etc/rc.d/rc.4"

Code:
# Try to use Enlightenment's Entrance sesion manager:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/entranced ]; then
 exec /usr/sbin/entranced -nodaemon
fi


Here are some new screenshots:

Thanks guys!

I have taught my self to compile themes for E17. I will add some new custom themes to the package and some wallpapers before I add it to the repositories.

I also noticed that I created a *.desktop file for a CLI only app. I will remove that *.desktop file from the package. I also have some other enhancements to add and small things to remove.

Thanks again for testing.

:)

Michael

I tried it last night and everything seemed to work ok, but after playing with it for a while I decided that it wasn't what I wanted and so i removed it.

It's different and not for everyone. You have to admit that it is nice to have options. Thanks for reporting the test.

:)

I've only tried e17 on elive & was quite looking forward to using it on Zenwalk. I followed your directions but couldn't get it to work.

When starting an Enlightenment session I get:

Quote:
stderr is not a tty - where are you?
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: line 169: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: Permission denied
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: line 169: exec: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: cannot execute: Success


The entry in Xsession was not correct, so I changed it from:

Quote:
enlightenment)
exec enlightenment
;;


to:

Quote:
enlightenment)
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.e17
;;


It still gave the same error, so:

Code:
chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.e17


Which I'd edited a little, after it not working the 1st time:

Quote:
#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    /usr/bin/xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    /usr/bin/xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    /usr/bin/xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    /usr/bin/xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# start some nice programs

dbus-uuidgen --ensure &
xfce-mcs-manager &
exec enlightenment_start


And now I get:

Quote:
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:20.Xservers" -h "" -l ":20" "ahaslam"
xterm:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":20.0"


Any ideas?

Tony :-\

PS. I now get the same error while logging into any session as user, I can only log in as root. I haven't changed anything other than what I mentioned :(

I tried it myself. Not bad. I like the entrance, it's really cool. But it only links to Enlighenment and Gnome, any idea how to point it to xfce?

I like the GUI...but it is a lot of work to put in the menu items and all the rest.

Hello

I posted in the wrong place before http://support.zenwalk.org/index.php/topic,4184.15.html so I re-post here

I installed e17 but when I try to logi I get

Your Session only lasted less that 10 seconds .....

and then in a box i get:

stderr is not a tty - where are you?
/etc/X11/hdm/Xsession: line 166 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc permission denied
/etc/X11/hdm/Xsession: line 166 exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc : cannot execute : sucess

That's because it can't open enlightenment & that's what Xsession defaults to (my line 69, snvv's 66), just your xinitrc is executable. We all have the same problem :-\

Anthony Haslam we are just 2 we have that problem :) Most of the others have no problem. So i suppose it should related somewhere with our setup.

Just to note when I logging in xfce in the menus I have some e17 applications(entice, ephoto, eclair etc)

I did a fresh 4.2 install, then directly e17 install and i can launch those apps either.
there must be some simple solution for this  ???

OK, it works with 'entranced' it just doesn't play nicely with GDM on my system :-\

Tony.

PS. Now I've got to figure out how to add xfce to entranced ::)

What you did in order to work??

That question is for the others with a working e17.

Thank you
