The Suse enlightenment package installs its config files in ~/.enlightenment; the packman e16 package stores them in ~/.e16; the e17 package goes into ~/.e

so, from above, you don't have to do anything to get them to coexist. -- Rafael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Err this is not quite what happened.... YaST installed e17 as a dependency of something else ( at the time was to busy swearing to figure out exactly what because I knew something was awry when it started to install the 16.999999 rpm. ) Immediately after the install e16 became non-functional and it was only by luck that a that there was functioning terminal with which to force a restart. After which e16 was no longer available as a window manager, and e17 would not do anything other than load a complaint about how it was being loaded. The local configuration directory was not touched, but it was fairly clear that some core elements of e16 had been removed or replaced. At the time all I wanted to do was locate e16menuedit2 so I could tidy up the menu a bit. This does not seem to be part of the standard distribution, and the source code when I located it seems to be about 3 years old so I have a feeling that building this one is going to be one of lifes more intriguing experiences. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGU/sbasN0sSnLmgIRAhXAAKC1EQ/+gHG3NORtryv6AaPva0MvUQCffL6r FPFgYLGSkovAPA3D8PA9IwQ= =O+l4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK here is my contribution to re-inventing the wheel. I have gotten a configuration with entrance as the login screen and e17 co-existing with e16 working, but this is for 10.2 and with packages currently available. For 10.0 and 10.1 users there is a howto here...
The above instructions are not relevant to 10.2... I do not think below warrants a more formal Howto as later packages may change things completely, it is more of a guideline... I you are not comfortable editing bash scripts I do not recommend this at all. 1) Setting entrance as your login screen... You will need to install entrance of course... Firstly you need to make two changes to /etc/init.d/xdm the three lines marked + should be added (approx line 90). (Backup file before editing of course). case "${DISPLAYMANAGER##*/}" in kdm|kde|KDM|KDE) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid" ;; xdm) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN ;; gdm|GDM|Gnome|GNOME) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm PIDFILE="/var/run/gdm.pid" ;; wdm|WDM) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm ;; console) exit 0 ;; + entrance) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/entranced + PIDFILE="/var/run/entranced.pid" + ;; *) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN if test -x /opt/kde3/bin/kdm; then DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid" fi ;; esac and (approx line 125) if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS" = "yes" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER" = "no" ]; then XDMOPTIONS="--no-console" fi + if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/usr/sbin/entranced" ]; then + XDMOPTIONS="-nodaemon" + fi Then either modify the entrance configuration file with... entrance_edit --xserver "/var/X11R6/bin/X -quiet -nolisten tcp vt7" or set a soft link from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/bin/Xorg Finally set the DISPLAYMANAGER setting in the YaST sysconfig editor to entrance ii) Getting e16 and e17 to co-exist.... Easy but not obvious... Before updating to e17 I would recommend making a backup copy of /usr/share/e16 directory... (The first time I did this the e16 configuration was broken and I suspect this was because something went awol, second time the directory was untouched). To get access to e16 you merely have to ... cp /usr/share/e16/misc/e16.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/e16.desktop The e17 update removes the above. Does not seem to touch anything else. I am working on trying to get e16menuedit2 to do something sensible. It needs some work to function with the current e16 config e17 is very nice and now going I am to try a play with some of themes (it is a bank holiday in the UK :-)) .... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGWpyiasN0sSnLmgIRAhFeAKCr6fpdg5Senzo6au/E7g8mOsh6NgCgrdEz 9WjDC188bhzzq9vmPr9x0ZA= =UY9v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes! You've got it! Thank you very much for this "howto", it's a great help and easy for using entrance. And you're right: E is very very nice. And enjoy this bank holiday!
