[e-users] turn off Bling?
Hello everyone. I have e17 installed from Debian packages onto an Etch netinst. Things were grand, and I was all hot to get this ITask NG thing installed which needed the Bling module to be enabled. I've enabled Bling, and it worked great, until I rebooted. Entrance now begins to start, but locks up in a looping cycle of flashing a gray background at me for less than half a second, then the screen goes dead for a couple seconds, then it flashes again. In the gray screen I can see the cursor ' X ' , but it is unresponsive. The keyboard is also unresponsive (I can't switch to a different shell and try to kill Entrance) and I must reboot. I can boot into single-user mode, and have tried to uninstall the Bling module to see if that helps, but the dependancy chain is complicated and wants me to uninstall the e17 virtual packages as well, leaving me unEnlightened. I cannot start enlightenment manually (using #startx /usr/bin/enlightenment_start) as it segfaults immediately, presenting me with the "This is very bad..." message, and cannot Recover. Is there a way to disable this module, or prevent it from being loaded? I've tried clearing the .cfg files in my user folder, but that has not been effective. Even better, is there a way to convince Bling to not crash? The bit of it that I saw was nice and shiney, and I'd like to keep it :D Thanks!

Re: [e-users] turn off Bling?
Dan - It's not bling causing the problem. I've had the exact same problem before, and I've never used the bling module. Some history here... When I first installed e17 on this machine, everything worked fine. Then I did an update, and got this problem where e17 won't load from Entrance. I just stopped using Entrance for some time, reinstalled it a few weeks later and it worked fine... but broke the next time I updated again. I just recently (last week) reinstalled Entrance again, and now it's working great. I've never been able to find out exactly what the cause is, though. - Mike Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) wrote: > On Thu, 21 Jun 2007 13:08:09 -0600 "Dan Kronstal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > babbled: > > entrance has nothing to do with bling. it's for e17. bling wont be touched, > looked at loaded or run until e17 starts. you have some other problem on your > hands. somethng much deeper - like some shared lib that e apps use (evas, > edje, > ecore, eet, or something) has been screwed maybe? > > >> Hello everyone. >> I have e17 installed from Debian packages onto an Etch netinst.

Re: [e-users] turn off Bling?
bling is not needed for itask-ng. have you tried it with xcompmgr or kompmgr? though i still hope that bling is developed further(and fixed), but perhaps i should remove it from the wiki for now, since it's not really useable here too. -- Hannes Am Thu, 21 Jun 2007 13:08:09 -0600 schrieb "Dan Kronstal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello everyone. > I have e17 installed from Debian packages onto an Etch netinst. > Things were grand, and I was all hot to get this ITask NG thing > installed which needed the Bling module to be enabled.

I hit this problem this morning too, after updating. I also tried uninstalling bling & itask-ng, but the problem wasn't in there. Remove your .e folder and set things up again.
