[opensuse] Enlightenment
Hi, I added some repos to YAST and saw E on there and since it's one of my favs I had it installed. Well, when I go to run it, it says to use "enlightenment_start" instead of just the enlightenment Binary. So I go into the directory and check and "enlightenment_start" is what is there next to execute and try to execute. So I change both to just say enlightenment thinking it was backwards and try again, no luck same error, but before they BOTH said "enlightenment_start" like it says it's supposed to, so I'm kind of confused as to why it says that when neither work and give the same error. Anyone else use E? Or have it working on OpenSUSE 10.2? I'd like to use it because I just prefer it over the others. I like KDE and generally use that, and sometimes I use Gnome, sometimes I use Window Maker, and Sometimes I use Twindy which I installed myself, and sometimes FVWM2 because I like it too.

I'm using E from SuSE 9.3. Now, its version is 0.16.8.10, which I built.
I cheched openSUSE 10.0's rpm by rpm2cpio. With this RPM package, e16.desktop is installed /usr/X11R6/share/xessions, but this is a mistake. Do like this as root;
# cp /usr/X11R6/share/xessions/e16.* /usr/share/xsessions
Then kdm's menu including e16 will appear, and can start enlightenment.
HTH,

I have both e16 and e17 on my laptop with 10.2 (and even got entrance going for the login). The e16 configuration is a bit twitchy about sound on my machine (so is KDE BTW, but the sound is quirky on the machine anyway). The SuSE repos should install as described above without problem. The difficulty is that the e17 SuSE RPM will remove your e16 binaries (but not the e16 configuration), I currently have self compiled later version of e16 which does co-exist with e17. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

No that's wrong. E17 and E16 can co-exist without any problems (e17 won't touch your e16 configuration and vice versa). Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It should not, but the packman SuSE e17 rpm wipes the e16 binary files the last time I installed with SuSE 10.2. It regards itself as an update of e16. Been there, got the tee shirt, it is true e17 does not touch the e16 configuration, but that is about as useful as a chocolate teapot without the binaries as the two environments are very different. Maybe this has been fixed since I last did this (3 or 4 months ago), but this not an experiment I wish to repeat ..... As e17 is a packman rpm this is not a direct SuSE issue,,,, - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

How did you try to start enlightenment? If you're using kdm you have to adapt the desktop file which is used by kdm: - open /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/enlightenment.desktop - replace "Exec=enlightenment" with "Exec=enlightenment_start" (you can do the same with "TryExec") Now it should start without any problems.
