Well it seems engage is now broken yet again. After an update I get this error:

Zitat:
There was an error loading module name: engage
Ther Full path to this module is :
engage/linux-gnu-i686/module.so
The error reported was:
libe.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


after researching libe.so.0 a bit I found this in reference to e17:

it cam from e - it has been removed as it is basically almost unused and a
packaging and maintenance problem. those moduels will need to stop linking to
it. it is pointless for modules anyway.


So if you get this error that is why. Guess we will have to wait for a update the engage module. It has been stated that engage is going to be the offical bar of e17 not ibar, so hopefully we will see an update soon. Thought I would share. BTW it seems that dEvian is working again, kind of a cool module.

Cheers,
Mike

Well let's look at the latest version of engage:
Code:
$ acp engage
engage:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.0.9-0cvs20060702
  Version table:
     0.0.9-0cvs20060702 0
        500 http://gefechtsdienst.de unstable/main Packages
mzilikazi@hestviken:~$ acp engage-transparent
engage-transparent:
  Installed: 0.0.9-0cvs20060705
  Candidate: 0.0.9-0cvs20060705
  Version table:
 *** 0.0.9-0cvs20060705 0
        500 http://gefechtsdienst.de unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


So we just wait until a new one is built from cvs. Smilie As you may have noticed most modules are working. Volume module is still dead (I use gkrellm instead) and some are not yet ported to work w/ the shelf code - (CPU module comes to mind).

Have you tried the Bling module? Great composite manager w/ a sIlly name.

Here's e17 w/ transparency. (bling module enabled).
Graphics card is GeForce FX 5600X w/ NVIDIA 87.62.

Note the CPU module in the lower right hand corner and that it isn't "on" the shelf. Hopefully it becomes that way soon.

Also of note is the dev mailing list is the mention of coding bounties! Maybe (hopefully) this will speed up the release of e17. Smilie

Ya I did try the bling module but it slowed my system down to a crawl, but it does look really cool. Maybe when I get a faster computer Smilie

Ok we now have a fix for the engage problem thanks to mzilikazi.

Code:

apt-get remove engage*
cd /usr/lib/enlightenment/modules
su
wget http://www.gefechtsdienst.de/uman/files/glenn/files/engage.tar.bz2
tar xjfv engage.tar.bz2 (or whatever to unpack it)


now just load the module and it'll work perfectly again. Sehr glücklich

EDIT: hmm... had a few problems with this after a bit, there is supposed to be a updated engage in the repo's soon. Might be best to just wait for that.

Wanna create some .edj backgrounds for you e17 desktop? While one easy way is to use Exhibit to view the image and then select edit --> Set as wallpaper, and then just set it from the Configuration Panel. But I also found a script to do it also and this script can do batch coversions of a whole directory also (which would be nice for the the Slideshow module Sehr glücklich ). Here is the link http://edevelop.org/buildedje I tried it on a few pics and it works nice, check it out. I did need to install python-psyco via apt for the script to work btw.

Cheers,
Mike

Nice. Smilie I had not yet seen that script. I like the Photo module for this task. Just enable the module then add it to a shelf. From the Photo module configurations panel simply point it to your directory of images and that's all you need to do. Images can then be set as wallpaper from the Photo module. E17 can make use of fake transparency w/ e17setroot. (think transparent terminals). The Photo module will set this as well at the same time with no extra intervention required from the user.

I preferred to configure the module so that Left click moves to the next image and middle click sets as wallpaper. Mouse-over pops up a larger view of the image as well as the name. (Nice if you use photos as wallpaper).

Hey mz, any news about the engage module? I keep checking the repo's but nothing new yet an that ibar isn't cutting it. I thought that engage was supposed to be the offical bar of e17, I read that in a report somewhere before. Thanks (now that I said something it'll probaly be in the repo's tomorrow Sehr glücklich )

Cheers,
Mike

Ok there is now a new repository with updated files including a updated engage module No need for the engage-transparent as the engage package is default transparent now. You now just need to add the repo now.

Code:
$ su
# echo "deb http://www.edevelop.org/~kaethorn/ unstable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list


You may want to comment out the old repo from you sources.list. I'm not sure how much longer it will be in use. I also found a version of Evidence that works fine. It seems the elive team has updated the code for it now Sehr glücklich . If you would like to install it here is how:

Code:
$ su
wget http://www.vobcopy.org/mirror/elive/pool/efl/e/evidence/evidence_cvs20060518_i386.deb
dpkg-deb --extract evidence_cvs20060518_i386.deb (insert a directory like /home/user/tmp)


Extracting the deb is because of the dependancies on the elivecd packages which may conflict. You just need to copy the 3 directories over to their proper place, you'll see when the it's extracted, thee directorys are listed. Then if you want , you just need to update the config files in ~/.evidence for your mime types. The info on the config files is in the man pages, it's pretty straight forward.

Cheers,
Mike

Anyone ever got entropy to work? It looks like a cool file manager but it always crashs on me a bit after I start it up. I have all the evfs plugins installed and I believe all the files it needs but still crashes, any idea's?

BTW: Engage seems to be broken again, luckily I kept a previous .deb of it and just reverted and it works fine. Smilie

Cheers,
Mike

Any of the E based file managers are for testing at best. I don't think you could use any of them for anything serious. In fact it's probably a bad idea unless you're on a test box.

I've seen no issues with engage personally on 2 boxes through all of the upgrades for the last month or so.

Amazing the rate at which new debs are being produced now that the archive is @ edevelop.org isn't it?

hmm... this might complicate things:

Zitat:
CVS changes and new Section on Get-E - Brian 'morlenxus' Miculcy [All my articles] (Sun, 20 Aug 2006 15:43:15 +0100)

As you probably noticed, a few modules (calendar, cpu, eloquence, engage, devian, evolume, wlan) don't work anymore with the current cvs version of e17.
This is because of a remove of the old gadman code. The future is the shelf, so this was expected.

Also there's a change in the /Resources section of get-e:
The modules section was long time without updates, the last module eloquence is not working anymore, so i removed this subsection.
So what's left in the Resources section? Nothing? Well look again! Yes, we have a new subsection:
It's called Applications and maintained by Andrew 'sevcsik' Sevcsik. His idea was to have a place where all applications are listed, providing a short information and a screenshot about each application. So hopefully the section is growing much. Smilie If you have any suggestions or you're coding an application using the efl just contact him, and he will add it.


I think I may do a backup before upgrading again...

Cheers,
Mike

E17 status report 8.29.06:

Several modules are not yet converted to the latest shelf code e.g. Engage and Photo modules. None of the themes are yet working including the Winter theme (even tho edevelop says it is working). None of the applications appear in the menus. I have yet to look further into this menu issue. It really isn't a good time to upgrade E17.

New E17 repo for your sources.list. (Howto has been updated). Remove the old source OR change it to look like so:
Code:
deb http://www.edevelop.org/debian unstable main

Install the new key:
Code:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 1F41B907
apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg


You NO LONGER need to pin e17 in /etc/apt/preferences. REMOVE E17 from /etc/apt/preferences or you may experience some problems!

Just a little update on the status of E17. It's coming along quite nicely now with lots of improvements and more stability.

Currently, Engage is still not 100% and is available only as a stand alone application which does not work on all virtual desktops but rather is limited to one desktop. I've been using ibar in the interim.

Devian module is also not working yet so no cool transparent RSS feeds on your desktop.

The Mixer module is working fine now. No more missing mixers!
Control panel is also improved and the icon set is almost complete.

Some new themes have been added to get-e.org and some of the older ones have yet to be updated to work with latest E17 code.

E17 is now using FDO standards and .desktop files for menu generation. e17genmenu is still not 100% but it is improving and finds most applications automatically. I have not yet been successful pointing e17genmenu to my preferred gentoo icon set.

Currently my desktop looks like this.
Never thought I'd like a Yellow theme! Smilie E17 theme is Kor and the GTK theme is Nuvola Yellow.

You only need to use the last 8 digits of the key.
Does this mean you're about to try E17? Winken

It will get created the first time you log into E17.
BTW the ~ represents your users home directory so you could read the above line like so:

/home/usename/.e/e/applications/all

Well e17 runs fine on both Xgl & AIGLX. They're just Xservers. Compiz & Beryl are gl composting window managers. E17 does its own window management and neither compiz nor beryl work w/ e17. There is a composting manager for e17 called Bling but it's only a module for xcompmgr and therefor can only do non-gl composting and is really only good for transparency and menu fading effects. In other words you won't get the spinning cube when you switch desktops or the wobbly windows since open gl is what makes this possible. The latest word is that E18 will have a native composting manager.

as of yesterday e17 is "composite" ready - ie argb windows composite properly - but it has and will have no built-in composite manager until likely e18 or so.

we have made it clear - e17 is not using xcomposite & friends - they are too
immature, unstable and resource intensive. aiglx SIMPLY allows for a GL based
composite manager to work sanely - it makes it possible. you are free to write
a gl based composite manager - if you like - but we have a lot more important
things to work on that don't rely on closed drivers to work properly or
bleeding edge hardware.

X in general has big big big big issues w3hen it comes to video memory
management in composited environments. if you don't have at least 128mb of video
ram - forget it (imho). and even if you do - the more, the better.

the technology needs to mature - the drivers need to - x needs to.

In other news E17 is progressing nicely. The configuration panel has seen alot of work lately and most of the icons are now finished.

There is a script in cvs called eap_to_desktop and its purpose is to convert all of your old eap files in ~/.e/e/applications/all to .desktop files. Beware! you MUST have libeet0-dev installed or this script will fail. Previous versions would render your .eap files into crap (although it did make a backup). At my request the script has been fixed so that it does no longer do this and instead simply fails to run.

Why the switch to .desktop? Well E17 is getting in line with FDO standards by using .desktop files instead of .eap files. This makes menu building much easier.

Speaking of menus......They work pretty good now - even the Debian menu is there. I don't believe it always finds all applications yet but it's getting close.

The updates for e17 are very quick. Usually about 3 or 4 updates per week. That's keeping very close with cvs without all the hassles of compiling it all yourself.

Engage is still not updated and is apparently undergoing some reconstruction.

Small updates for E17:
New Icon theme selection tool in Configuration Panel
New Hibernate/Suspend options in E17 System menu.
Themes come and go in E17. If they are not updated to reflect the current cvs they often times break.
Be sure you are using up to date themes!

Check out the Animated backgrounds for E17.

Someone (they won't say who) has been paying coding bounties to anyone interested in coding for E17. This means that alot of things have been sped up and are getting finished rather quickly. When does E17 go beta? Who knows??? Maybe before the end of this decade. Winken

My guess on the coding bounties is Yellowdog Linux. They want E17 as their desktop. Keep in mind that I am frequently mistaken. Any other rumors?

E17 is still working as great as ever, still using it as my everyday wm. I've noticed that the bling module isn't working currently but didn't really us it anyways. I'm still anxiously awaiting engage and devian modules to start working again, but it's still working great right now, I'm going to have to mess with getting that hibernate working. I would like to add that one important thing (maybe should be added to the main how-to) is that e17 uses real transparency and until the e17 terminal " Enterminus" is working we won't be able to utilize it but there is still support for fake-transparency (which may be removed later) which can be used by eterm or xfce-terminal (my favorite) using esetroot which is included with eterm. To use it just type "Esetroot -s ~/picture.png", then just tell your terminal to use transparency. I have it start with e17 but adding it to your .xinitrc will do the trick also. Also for those of you using Yakuake and want one for e17 to use, tilda works great and is almost the same. Hope this helps some

-Mike

My preference for fake transparency is to use the emodule0-photo. Not only will it set your wallpaper but it also calls esetroot each time you switch wallpapers. All of your transparent things like terms, conky, audacious playlist window have fake transparency.

Engage does in fact work but not as a e17 module. Instead only the stand-alone version is working at this time (AFAIK). That said I dislike the way it behaves and have had no luck getting it to display on all desktops. I certainly preferred the old engage to the new.
