I got e17 to install, but I'm having a few problems:

this is kind of wierd, but if I run enlightenment normally from my .xinitrc, it just segfaults, instead I have to run it as a background process and run something else (such as gkrellm2) in the forground as the hangup...strange

secondly, even once I do get it to run without segfaulting, it doesnt do anything! the background is pretty and all, but theres no menus, clicking on the desktop brings up nothing, etc..

I tried running e_setup, and that comes up with a display (and a really pretty spinner on the top

) but clicking on the buttons does nothing, it just stays in the same screen..

heres the output from enlightenment:

are you running as root (make sure you're not) ?
also, make sure you start fam ...

you should have menus :/

it is sexy but you're right, currently it doesnt do anything

keschrich · Post by **keschrich** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 11:42 pm

Okay, no I'm not running as root, as yes I am running fam..

I think the problem there was that enlightenment was still segfaulting, but it still left the background on the screen while gkrellm was there..

I recompiled e, and *occasionally* it will go long enough without segfaulting, and I can use the menu and whatnot, but I cannot run anything, since as soon as I try it segfaults. Heres an example of what I'm getting:

--snip---
BORDER CREATED AT 0x8130228
launch efsd... 21869
pid went splat! (21869)
it was efsd!
launch efsd... 21870
pid went splat! (21870)
it was efsd!
launch efsd... 21871
Configure for view: :1
---/snip---

so it seems to me the problem is with (duh) efsd. I tried recompiling that with no luck...argh, why do the sexy things in life always have to be so fiesty?

SpanKY · Post by **SpanKY** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 11:53 pm

efsd did that while i ran as root ...

logging in as a non-root user fixed it ...

keschrich · Post by **keschrich** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 1:13 am

I'm not running as root though. FAM is the only related thing running as root, only because it has to...

whoa, your from worcester too, wpi?

hmmm, E17 works for me. With iconbar. Accept I can't switch between desktops?

blubber · Post by **blubber** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 1:30 pm

Ow and there is a second problem. All programs that I inconify are gone

crashman · Post by **crashman** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 5:44 pm

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

crashman · Post by **crashman** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 5:47 pm

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).

hakan · Post by **hakan** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 1:22 pm

ok, i got e17 start and i can start programs.

but i didn't get the iconbar etc.

is there a documentation or a guide(on the enlightenment hp not)?

and should e_setup work? (for me it starts up and thats it, i only can quit with <control>+<alt>+<backspace>)

get the iconbar generator script from $PREFIX/enlightenment/data/scripts/build_iconbar_db.sh modify the contents (self-explainary) then

Code: Select all

./build_iconbar_db.sh ~/.e/desktop/default/.e_layout

hakan wrote:and should e_setup work? (for me it starts up and thats it, i only can quit with <control>+<alt>+<backspace>)

No, e_setup doesnt do nothing yet, and u need ferite patch to make some of the menu command to work, i.e exit enlightenment, desktop switching. Try go through the mailing list to find it. and of course u need to install ferite, just emerge ferite-0.99.4, ferite-0.99.5 will not work.

I did it but there is no iconbar. wrong directory (see above)?

hmm i guess they changed it again.

Guest what the e17 im using right now is the almost-2-years-old cvs version. im very satisfied with it, it's useable and __stable__. see this if u think u like to try mine pm me

enesideme · Post by **enesideme** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 6:47 pm

I've allready indicated the right way to have iconbar working

you can use first iconbar_left.bits.db (you will find it in /usr/e17/share/enlightenment/data/iconbar/) cp it in your home directory:
~/e/desktop/default/.e_layout/ you will have to create these directories

then cp /usr/e17/share/enlightenment/data/scripts/build_iconbar_db.sh to your home directory

edit this script and comment the second and the last line i.e:

#BIT=$1"/iconbar.bits.db"
#cp -f $PREFIX"/share/enlightenment/data/iconbar/iconbar_left.bits.db"

you can add lines like that "icon $SYSIC"/gnome-x.png" "x"

then sh build_iconbar_db.sh ~/.e/desktop/default/.e_layout

i just want to add that after running the script a file named iconbar.db is created you can edit it with edb_gtk_ed to add or remove icons or edit the script to create a new iconbar.db

it really works you just have to restart enlightenment each time you run the script
