Post enlightenment crashed, only got to login screen


The title says it all, my X server's error log (Xorg.o.log)
It's too long to post here, so I use pastebin instead.

Your X log is ok. It's not X who crashed but enlightenment.

E17 is considered a bit experimental by many, though I haven't tried it for a long time. Did you compile it yourself or are you using some kind of experimental repository to install it?

The last message means that some of the binary files are not in sync. A needed function can't be found. This can happen if you compiled the main executable with a different version of the libraries, or if their source codes are just plain incompatible (i.e. there was some API change, which is not a rare thing in software that's under development).

I'm using OpenGeu 8.04.1 and that happened when I did "aptitude full-upgrade"

That means that the upgrade updated enlightenment of one of the core libs for enlightenment (look for something with "edje" on it's name). Maybe reverting one or many related packages to a previous version will help, or maybe not. I don't know. I don't use any apt based distro and I don't use enlightenment either.

too bad those guys who got their openGeu that problem (their interns at my office) decided to install Ubuntu Intrepid instead. Thanks anyway.

I've always seen enlightenment as a hobbyist project (no disrespect intended at all, I assure you).

I have never been able to be proficient with e16, it's not a wm which cares too much about usability from my point of view, though admittedly a big percentage of usability is a very subjective thing. However, even if you don't enable compositing and such stuff, some of the effects are admitedly impressive for a 2d only renderer. All that magic came from imlib of course, which is probably the fastest library for 2d image manipulation (if you are lucky enough that what you want to do can be done within the limited functionality of imlib).

e17 came later, and it's been under development for several years right now. It still seems unusable for any serious purpose, and even if you are just the point-n-click kind of person, it's still not very usable because of all the stability issues. Nice shinny interface for those that like shinny things (I don't), but nothing that really calls my attention, nothing really innovative. It's still a cool thing to showcase to your friends if you don't own a 3d graphics chip and can enjoy some 2d effects. But all of this comes at a cost in cpu terms of course, since no compositing is involved, and hence, the work is not done by your graphics chip, but by cpu.

All in all, e17 is nice, but it's not anything that I would put on an office or any other kind of production environment. You can be sure that fluxbox, fvwm or xmonad are not gonna fail you
