Hi, quicky one: installed engage e17 module with emerge engage previously added e17 block to package.keywords as told at gentoo-wiki , everything compiled fine. When start engage it shows but I see only question marks instead program icons in engage 'panel/startbar'. How to fix this.

Just wondering if that bug with the crashing config windows is fixed yet?
It's been a few months since I last used E17 and I found it quite annoying spending 10 minutes adding a single thing to the menu.

I hear that many other people have had the same problem with the config windows just dying so maybe there's hope.

For the gnome 2.12 users i made a script to duplicate the gnome menu using the python bindings of the gnome-menus package. If you have gnome-settings-daemon running, you get eaps from the currently installed theme.

It's my first python script, so it may not be working on other computers. But maybe there are some people here that know python and want to take a look at the script.

Here is a screenshot:

And this is the script:

I know there is a program e17genmenu, but this script has very different results.

I can not beleive this. Am I the only one who cant get the Evolume module to work? I can install it, but not load it. Its seriously annoying.

@Templer-Nice screenshot BTW, looks very nice.

@Varean:

did you already try what I recommended in this post below (quoted from the last page in the thread)? I didn't see you reply to it... if it didn't work, what happened?

[WizzoMaFizzo]

Make sure you have the right dependencies for it too. I had some trouble myself.

It needs libe(volume or sound or something) which I think comes with esound.
But when I installed e16 it put in esound with it and evolume suddenly worked so if it's not already installed try emerging esound and THEN use the command said above.

How can I go about installing it then?

I just decided not to emerge evidence for now, but I can't get into Enlightenment. I followed the how to, and entrance works, but when I try to get into Enlightenment, the screen flickers, and then goes back to the entrance login.
This is from the how to:

First, create /etc/X11/Sessions/e17 containing the following: (don't forget to chmod +x !)

File: /etc/X11/Sessions/e17
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/enlightenment-0.17

What does it mean when it says chmod +x?
Thanks

Run "chmod +x /etc/X11/Sessions/e17" from a shell prompt (command line).
This command is the "change mode" command, passing "+x" means to make the e17 file, "executable".

[rsulli55]

OK thanks Ill try it.

@bullring
Does this happen when you try to launch the engage from within e17? This type of error is typically spewed out by enlightenment_remote, when you try to use enlightenment_remote from some other WM/DE.

[Cinder6]

Isn't the command to load a module

[rsulli55]

I don't think it matters I tried both ways and get the same error.

for you guys interested in checkin e17 out but not going thru the install, there's the elivecd (elivecd.org). basically a debian based distro with e17 (also has 16, but i dunno why you'd want to use 16). it has the option to install to the drive straight from the livecd, but saying to install debian while on the gentoo forums is basically blasphemy.
