Question Install Enlightenment 0.17.4 on Linux Mint Debian.


Hi,

I just installed a copy of Linux Mint Debian. I've already done apt-get update. I tried to install E17, but the ones in the default repos were out of date (0.16.999, latest is 0.17.4). Is there any way to get the latest E17?

Thanks.

If you're using LMDE then you could get E17 off the Debian repos. It's available in Debian Testing. Debian Unstable (Sid) has 17.3.

Hi,

I added the Sid repository and installed Enlightenment 0.17.3 successfully. However, E17 sometimes crashes with a white box with black text saying it SEGV'd when I open the Applications menu. I haven't installed any 3rd party modules.

Output of uname -a:

Linux flambe 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That kernel version is rather old for Sid. Updating your kernel something like 3.11 may solve your problem.

Hi,

Should I use the kernel from the Sid repository, or compile it myself?

Definitely use the kernel from the repository unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise.

Hi

Sorry for the (very) late reply. I've updated the kernel to 3.10-2, but I'm still getting the segfaults.

Maybe try unloading/unticking the EFM module as I hear Enlightenment File Manager is the main cause of that pop up window in E17.

Hi,
I disabled the EFM modules but its still segfaulting.

This is what happens before it segfaults:
i) I open the start menu.
ii) I open the applications menu.
iii) When I mouse over one of the sub-menus (Accessories, Graphics, Internet) it says "No Applications"
iv) Segfault.

This problem seems to stop for a while, then come back.

I installed Linux Mint (Ubuntu) and installed E17 there. No more segfaults.
