[opensuse] Howto Start enlightment from /usr/local/e16/bin ?? (brainless moment)
Guys, I have built enlightenment from source but I cannot get it to start. The packages were built with --prefix=/usr/local so the binaries are in /usr/local/e16/bin and I have added /usr/local/e16/bin to my PATH. I have tried to start it from runlevel 3 and from runlevel 5 after a CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to drop to the command line. The problem is that I get a DISPLAY variable error on start. I have set: DISPLAY=':0' DISPLAY=':0.0' and I still get the following error: Enlightenment cannot connect to the display nominated by your shell's DISPLAY environment variable. You may set this variable to indicate which display name Enlightenment is to connect to. It may be that you do not have an Xserver already running to serve that Display connection, or that you do not have permission to connect to that display. Please make sure all is correct before trying again. Run an Xserver by running xdm or startx first, or contact your local system administrator, or Xserver vendor, or read the X, xdm and startx manual pages before proceeding. I know this should be simple, thus the (brainless moment) but what's the trick?? After picking through xdm-config, Xsetup, Xstartup, Xresources, Xsession, and Xservers files, I though in the towel and just decided to ask :-( -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hello,
I'm using sef-compiled enlightenment (e16) for a long time.
And it's working fine for me.

And, oh, yes, can you tell me what is the meaning of "Nacogdoches"? And what, if anything is one "Nacogdoche" ( or perhaps one "Nacogdoch")? Presumably this must be a Nahuatl word, or something similar, probably filtered through Spanish and then English corruptions.
Refers to the Nacogdoche Indian tribe, whose word for friends – tejas – later became Anglicized to Texas. Google is your friend. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
