 Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:29 pm Post subject: Entrance Configuration Errors, (lots of config files) |
 |
|
Hey yall sorry to have to come here asking questsions about this... I know it is covered in at least a dozen topics but I can't figure it out.
Enlightenment will not start for me as a default session and I can't figure out how to add another entry (but i dont think that would make a difference.)
I have tried entrance, as well as GDM with no luck. (always get TWM) sometimes it will load, screen will flicker a few times then drop me back to entrance im guessing enlightenment is starting then but craping out for some reason but can't find anything about it in any log files.
(I emerged *-9999 -*)

i can only ssh to my machine atm so i cant show you my /etc/entrance_config.db but i can assure you enlightenment is set inside it as the default session. (session0) Gnome is set as session1

/etc/X11/Sessions

| Code: | tater@titan Sessions $ cat e17

Comment=This session logs you into Enlightenment

I just cant figure it out :/
I can start enlightenment via startx and it shows up with fire along the bottom and snowflakes raining down, menus work etc... |

# XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start

# is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the
# value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts is smart enouth to
# look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/,
# so setting it to "enligtenment" can also work. This is basically used
# as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM,
# allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc.
#
# NOTE: 1) this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc exists, and startx
# is called.
# 2) even if a ~/.xsession exist, if XSESSION can be resolved, it will
# be executed rather than ~/.xsession, else KDM breaks ...
#
# Defaults depending on what you install currently include:
#
# Gnome - will start gnome-session
# kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2)
# Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps
#XSESSION="Gnome"
CLOCK=local

if you have installed the enlightenment-9999 ebuild, you now have enlightenment 0.16.8 CVS (which is horribly unstable! e17 (e-9999) works better than that...)
enlightenment-9999 --->
| Quote: | tom@SiRiUS ~ $ epm -ql enlightenment | grep /usr/bin/
/usr/bin/e16 |
e-9999 --->
| Quote: | tom@SiRiUS ~ $ epm -ql e | grep /usr/bin/
/usr/bin/enlightenment-0.17
|
so a startup-script for enlightenment-9999 should look like that:
| Quote: | tom@SiRiUS ~ $ cat /etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/e16 |
well and if your startup-script is called "e17" it's no use to put "enlightenment" in rc.conf, because there is no "enlightenment" in your /etc/X11/Sessions it seems...
i have
| Quote: | tom@SiRiUS ~ $ ls /etc/X11/Sessions/
e17 enlightenment |
and i use e17 as my default so:
| Quote: | tom@SiRiUS ~ $ cat /etc/rc.conf | egrep '(XSESSION=|DISPLAYMANAGER=)'
DISPLAYMANAGER="entrance"
XSESSION="e17" |
hope this helps

Thanks for the replies 
I have the e-9999, not enlightenment-9999 (DR16) emerged so we are good there.
I guess my mistake is/was using e17 in there instead of enlightenment.
I have created a sym link: /usr/bin/enlightenment -> /usr/bin/enlightenment-0.17
If im right, all should work when i restart xdm
thanks again |

yes, this should work.
but if you ever get the idea to emerge =enlightenment-0.16.7.2, you'll get a binary called /usr/bin/enlightenment
so the best and cleanest solution would be to change your /etc/X11/Sessions/e17 to execute /usr/bin/enlightenment-0.17 |
