Hi :)

We really need someone with broken E17 installed to test if new packages can fix it easily. Just download all packages from

http://mib.pianetalinux.org/2009.0/i686/testing/e17/

to some folder and install them with "urpmi ./*".

Woo hooo!!!!!!!! Downloaded the lot with flashget, ran urpmi worked first time!! May I post a link to this thread in the Enlightenment forum? (and the PCLinuxOS forum?)

Now I can spend the weekend configuring it to look as good as I had it on Ubuntu (mind you it was a bugger to install on Ubuntu as well ;) )

Thank you, if I can help in any way give me a shout

Can't get trayer to work though, followed the instructions to the letter - but doesn't seem to do anything. Pretty vanilla install of 2009.0 - do I need Gtk installed?

It's transparent so you won't see it unless you run any program that puts its icon to the tray. Amarok, Deluge, Pidgin or something else.

It might be also helpful to run
trayer --SetDockType true --widthtype request --edge bottom --align right --transparent true --alpha 255
in console and see the output.

Or maybe it will be better to run just trayer from "run command", without any paramemers (ugly gray tray should appear).

Don't really know about GTK but I guess trayer should have correct "Requires" tags in its RPM.

Tested on another PC with 2009.0. Upgraded broken E17 from /Contrib with new SVN packages and now it works fine. I guess no more tests needed with the "main" packages. I'll start working on eterm and other "secondary" packages today.

Trayer is working, but is hiding under my panel! When I run Amarok, I can see a wolf nose poking out from behind the panel :D Will sort out later today, had to come into work this morning :cry:

Try to play with "--edge bottom --align right" options (maybe "--edge top" will be better for you).

I've build Eterm but it looks like crap and it's buggy. I guess we don't need it.

Ok, I found that just one week ago Kim Woelders submited Eterm patch that brings UTF8 support.

Here it is: http://www.mail-archive.com/enlightenme ... 20714.html

With this patch Eterm looks somewhat OK. It still doesn't display non-latin characters by default but at least Midnight Commander looks not THAT screwed up. Here is the screenshot, patched (bottom) and non-patched (top) builds:

And if I run patched Eterm with this option: "./Eterm -F "-misc-Liberation Mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1", it even displays all the characters properly:

Finished sorting out my desktop, used a mix of the carbon theme and the fireball theme (I don't like the layout of the carbon theme buttons or their design). Weather display is from the Forcast gadget/module, using Yahoo weather codes.

Image

Got a few niggles, nothing I can't sort, the settings panel is a bit bare in places (compared to an Ubuntu install, but I am so glad to dump Ubuntu, I don't care :) ).

The main Mandriva problem I have at the moment is the dictionary in Firefox isn't working, everything I type is underlining in red so need to fix that first!!!

Do you want to try new Eterm & Entrance? Packages are now in here.

Eterm requires libast, so don't forget to download it too.

Will do. Was having some strange problems last night, when clicking on the Mandriva control centre, I was getting a strange message (at work at the moment) something like:

"Invalid call to Sub-process"

Popping up in a dialogue box.

Also there is now a new task-e17 package available in cooker, not tried it yet.

How do I configure Entrance, which file do I need to edit?

Be careful.

First of all, you need to open Mandriva Control Center, then go to Boot -> Window Manager (or something like that, don't know the English name exactly). Choose Entrance there.

You can also change Entrance theme and other settings with entrance_edit command. Run entrance_edit --help for more details.
