The ebuild cp's your old e17 to e17.old
If you already have this dir the ebuild dies
This is so you will have a functional e17 to fall back on
So just:

rm -r /usr/e17.old
emerge enlightenment-cvs

and all should work.

The subject says it all!

I have been using it for a few days and no problems. Multiple desktops now work. The exit menu item works now too.

I used ebindings to modify my menus to suit me. I haven't tried the iconbar or desktop icons yet, I never did use them much anyway. I may play with ...

to set your jvm try as root:

#java-config --list-available-vms

to get a liat of whats available

and then:

#java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-1.4.1_beta

I found a cd writer that works for me! Its called Gnome CD Master. It can read and write with my drives. I guess my setup is fine, just the programs I was using sucked.

I can't get the icon bar to work from my ._elayout dir (~/.e/desktop/default/.e_layout). It works if I use the build script to the appearance dir (~/.e/appearance).

Your icons are probably not gone. Minimize a program then hit your middle mouse button. Your program should be in the list displayed.

I did some further checking and here are the results:

cdrecord -scanbus finds all devices (as root)
I can mount and read data cd's in either drive (dvd and cdr)

I just have problems with music cd's

I can't get any programs to recognize cd's in my dvd or cdr drives. xcdroast keeps saying I have a blank cdr disk when I have a music cd in.

It used to work, but then I recompiled my kernel and now this. I must have screwed up the config somehow but I don't know what I did. I have checked ...

The ebuild installed e17 with ease. I have portmap and fam running. There used to be a page at something like hiddenrock.org that explained how to configure e17, but it is down now.

Anyone know how to get the iconbar working? I can get icons on the desktop to work (mkdir ~/.e/desktop/default; ln -s ...

Is -j(X+1) usually best, where X=num of cpu's?

Sometimes while I'm moving forward I'll all of a sudden be looking straight up. I'm not moving the mouse when this happens (at least not up). It seemes to happen in the same areas most of the time.

I think it's a mouse issue as it sometimes happens in the startup screen also. The pointer will just ...

I didn't run an exhaustive series of benchmarks, I just ran glxgears. :wink:

I got roughly 2900 fps both before and after upgrading. I did have to reboot after emerging, got an error in loading NVdriver until I did. After rebooting I had no problems.

Make sure the kernel that is pointed to by ...

Check out the alternate install guide from the Gentoo website. It really is just a matter of starting up your current distro, creating and formating partitions, then chroot'ing in to continue the install. Everything is documented in the guide.

I'm curious, how did you install mandrake from your ...

Both companies deliver on their promises with their products. I use Crossover daily, I don't even think about whether a site I am going to is compatible with mozilla anymore. I only tried the 1.0 demo and it worked, but the popups actually caused problems with the playback. Version 1.1.2 is out now ...

The problems of getting e17 to work was the only reason I regretted going to Gentoo. Now that evas is here, e17 will be right behind it. I'm stoked!!!

I'm getting the same error here. It looks like it's a clash of some sort between several different kernel header files.

You need to emerge the scripts, recompile your kernel and update /etc/modules.d/alsa

Here it is step by step:

1: emerge -p alsa-driver alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-oss alsa-tools

this will show you all the stuff that portage will do
If you are happy with what portage will do renter the above ...

I am also using this patch. I'm using it on a SMP machine so no worries if you got one also.

I fixed my problem by makeing a few defines in the source (__KERNEL__, MODULE) and explicitely pointing to the kernel sources (-I/usr/src/linux/include). That still doesn't explain the mismatch. If the includes didn't change between 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 (very likely) there shouldn't be any problem with ...

Why are linux-sources version 2.4.19-r1 and linux-headers are 2.4.18? I'm trying to learn to write device drivers from the Linux Device Drivers book and the toy program will compile fine, but it won't load due to this version mismatch.
I could unmerge the linux-headers package and symlink to the ...

I got it working. I just created a symlink to /dev/dvd from /dev/sr0.

I cannot get it recognized as a dvd drive. xine can't find it. Either that or I am being an idiot using xine.

How do I get my DVD drive recognized in Gentoo. My drive is a Pioneer DVD-305s scsi model. It is recognized as a cdrom now.
