You need to use some kind of login manager. enlightenment_start by itself will not start an X session.

You must compile entrance with pam USE flag enabled. Other than that, I do not think you need to configure anything else. Entrance also has some config files in /etc, so if you did not run etc-update/dispatch-conf/cfg-update after emerging entrance, you will not be able to login properly.

| I compiled it using the easy-e17.sh script. Does that involve adding pam in to the USE flags too ? |

easy-e17 does not use portage to compile/install the packages. So, you will need to look at the log files to find out what it compiled entrance with. If entrance was compiled with pam, then you probably need to ensure that an 'entrance' file is present in /etc/pam.d.

| Yes, the file is there. Actually I moved it to /etc/pam.d and I get logged in, but then I get the bug error with two buttons telling that e17 cannot start. |

1. Check that you are launching enlightenment_start via entrance. Look at the enlightenment file in /usr/share/xsessions.
2. Try to ensure that you have removed the old e config, in particular move ~/.e/e/config to some other place, so that it can get recreated again.
Other than the above two reasons, I can't figure out what has gone wrong with your e installation.

| Well I don't have any graphic environment right now. I installed a fresh gentoo, so I don't kow what files I have to create in order to start enlightenment. What files do I have to create in order to launch an xsession correctly ? |

| I noticed that if I create an .xinitrc file pointing to "enlightenment_start" I can bypass the entranced, but I got directly the same error I described before. The environment bring an error saying that it can't access properly to the libraries. |

e_utils have been unmaintained for ages, and e17setroot can easily be replaced with feh, if all you want to do is set a background for fake transparency.
| Code: | | feh --bg-scale <some image> |

feh will change root background. e17 background is not the root background; it is a layer above the root background. Only way to set e17 background is via the wallpaper dialog or via enlightenment_remote if you already have a .edj background file.

Hi guys,
I've gotten e17 too install through enlightenment-overlay but when I try to log in via slim it does not fire up and when I revert back to the cli I see an error message that says my Ecore_Evas is does not support x11, but wouldn't this be setup seeing as enlightenment cannot work without the X-server. So any ideas, TIA. I'm not new to Linux but I am new to the world of Gentoo so I hope I've given enough info.
Dean.. |

Maybe you don't have the "X" USE flag enabled?

Sure, use this function (You may need to modify it to suit your needs) | Code: | # Function to create edj file {{{
create_edj() {
local OLD_PWD="$(pwd)"
local tmp_dir
local edc_file=tmp_image.edc
local edj_file=${@##*\/}; edj_file=${edj_file%\.*}.edj
local image_full_path="$@"
tmp_dir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/e17bg.XXXX) || \
die "Could not create temporary directory"
cd $tmp_dir
[[ -f "$image_full_path" ]] || \
image_full_path="$OLD_PWD/$image_full_path"
echo "#!/bin/sh
edje_cc --image_dir . --font_dir . $edc_file -o $edj_file" > ./build.sh
chmod 700 ./build.sh
echo "images { image: \"$image_full_path\" USER; }
collections {
group { name: \"e/desktop/background\";
data { item: \"style\" \"1\"; }
max: 1680 1050;
parts {
part {
name: \"col\"; type: RECT; mouse_events: 0;
description {
state: \"default\" 0.0;
color: 255 255 255 255;
}
}
part {
name: \"bg\"; mouse_events: 0;
description {
state: \"default\" 0.0;
min: 1680 1050;
max: 1680 1050;
image {
normal: \"$image_full_path\";
}
}
}
}
}
}" > $edc_file
./build.sh || die "Error in creating edj file"
mv -f $edj_file $HOME/.e/e/backgrounds
cd ${OLD_PWD}
rm -rf $tmp_dir
} # }}}
|
You will want to change images { image: \"$image_full_path\" USER; } to "COMP" if you want to compress it and store it within the edj file. The "USER" actually makes the edj file reference the image present in the hard drive, without storing it within the edj. Also, change 1680x1050 to your desktop size.

Ppurka : great! now I can modify my background changer to adopt your script, it becomes something like this :
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
IMGDIR=/home/duckz/Images # set this to your jpg image dir
EDJDIR=~/.e/e/backgrounds
SLEEPTIME=3600 # in seconds
LOSSYRATE=90 # 0 - 100
WIDTH=1024 #Desktop width
HEIGHT=768 #Desktop height
while [ 1=1 ] ;
do
getrandomimg()
{
ls $IMGDIR | perl -e '@f=<>; print $f[int(rand($#f+1))]'
}
IMG1=`getrandomimg`
COMPARE=`ls $EDJDIR | grep $IMG1.edj`
if [ "$COMPARE" != "$IMG1" ] ; then
echo "images { image: "$IMGDIR/$IMG1" LOSSY $LOSSYRATE; }" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "collections {" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "group { name: "e/desktop/background";" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "data { item: "style" "0"; }" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "max: $WIDTH $HEIGHT;" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "parts {" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "part { name: "bg"; mouse_events: 0;" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "description { state: "default" 0.0;" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "image { normal: "$IMGDIR/$IMG1"; }" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
echo "} } } } }" >> $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
edje_cc $@ -id . -fd . $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc -o $EDJDIR/$IMG1.edj
enlightenment_remote -default-bg-set $EDJDIR/$IMG1.edj
else
enlightenment_remote -default-bg-set $EDJDIR/$IMG1.edj
fi
#Set the Fake root
Esetroot -s $IMGDIR/$IMG1
# Delete the edc file
rm -f $IMGDIR/$IMG1.edc
sleep $SLEEPTIME
done
exit 0

Great! Glad I could help 
BTW, you probably know it already, but you need not use multiple echo's to write multiple lines to the file. Just one echo should be good enough (newlines are preserved). Or you could cat like this: | Code: | cat <<END >file.edc
..... all those edc scripts, ....
..... including $VARIABLES, which get replaced by their values ....
END |
The advantage is that you need to do only one write to the file.edc.

ppurka: yeah you right about the echo command. I guess I like typing repeating command for fun .
about the cat command, I try to use it with sed but seems that putting the command and variable together in the script and echo it to new file make less lheadache fo me .

Vapier's overlay seems to have been updated.
Among the changes, as far as I browsed through it yesterday, are included, but not limited to: - switch to SVN;
- inclusion of eina;
- x11-wm/e has been moved to x11-wm/enlightenment.
Tried to build it yesterday, but failed somewhere along the line. Not sitting at the computer now, but if I remember correctly, I think the errors were due to 3) above, i e ebuilds still depending on "e" rather than "enlightenment". I probably just happened to sync before all updates were in place or some such.
Who knows, maybe it even works if someone would try it now. |
