9.10 with enlightenment & gnome
Hi everyone
I would like to try ubuntu with a different window manager. So far im gonna put a hold on the popular KDE and try out one thats more appealing to me. Enlightenment, does anyone have experience installing this on karmic koala? Im aware that you can keep the gnome WM and install enlightenment and have an option of which to boot on startup. Is it easier doing it this way? So...any simple guides to installing enlightenment? i thought this time, i would post my question before i got myself into a mess |
If you want to try e16 it's in your package manager, and shouldn't give you any problems. If you want the latest and greatest e17, you'll have to get it through SVN, I believe.
I did find this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916690 Guess I'll give it a go too. |

oh sorry. logout and select it from the options at the login screen. or manually e16 --replace.

Ha!
I installed e17 last night into my Phalanx setup I really like it,but I think I configured it wrong as there's all kinds of stuff on the toolbar,like every app:) and so i guess I got some learning to do... Is there a nice tutorial somewhere on setting up/tweaking e17?? Thanks! |

search for e17 or e16 and install them. Once installed, when you login, at the loginmanager, whre you put your login and pass, there is an option to choose the windowmanager you want to start. |

eeeBu
you gotta add the e17 to your sources.list to do this goto System/software sources add this line, hit the "add" button and copy/paste this into the box Code:
deb http://cafelinux.org/Downloads/oz-os tinwoodman main Code:
sudo wget -q http://cafelinux.org/Downloads/oz-os/key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get install e17-svn my took abbout an hour dont close the terminal while its building |
does anyone know how i would enable my wireless in E17?
i must admit it is a stunning UI! fits perfect on netbooks, every window is set like in NBR so they take up less space. However i cant seem to get the taskbar to be 30pixel!! it skips in 4s :s |

I remember a few years ago there were problems with the systray in E17 since Carsten was not at all happy with the definition of what a systray actaully is, but I thought these were resolved. Evo2. |
I havent connect to the web yet with E17 :(
there is nothing on startup to enable the wireless card and i cant run Network Manager that works on gnome for some reason. I think it is dedicated to gnome perhaps. Any ideas anyone? |
You should be able to use either network-manger or wicd. Or you can can configure your /etc/network/interfaces file and issue the command 'ifup eth0', where I'm assuming eth0 is the device you want to use.
