Installing Englightenment in Debian
 
Hi, I recently have been trying to install Enlightenment in Debian...I did it pretty easily by using "apt-get install enlightenment" and that seems to have done it. However, I am currently running KDE 3.3.2 and I have no idea how to start enlightenment. A graphical login starts after Debian loads up, with no CLI.

If anyone could help me with this that would be great, I am pretty stuck and couldn't find any working answers with google.

Thanks,
chris

You could start by using ctrl+alt+F1 to go to a console, log in as your user, su to root and do:
#/etc/init.d/kdm stop
then ^D or 'exit' back to your user
and use the command to start enlightenment! (Can't help you with that one!:))

isn't it an option in the Sessions menu? and the command to start it is 'exec enlightenment'.

I get that there is no such file or directory...I am running the latest version of kde.

I also don't know what you are talking about with a sessions menu, where is this? When I first start up there is just a login box with no options whatsoever.

Thank you for your guy's help,
chris

Sounds like you don't have the kde display manager (kdm) installed. I assume you're running xdm, which doesn't have a session management facility (AFAIK).

In that case, try
#/etc/init.d/xdm stop

and then the appropriate command to start enlightenment (exec enlightenment doesn't sound familiar, but it's a long time since I've used it:))
