[newbie] Gnome Enlightenment Help
Hello everyone, I just installed Redhat 7.2 (not mandrake I know.. dont shoot me) and installed Enlightenment with it. When I start Enlightenment.. I have to start gnome.. So that works starts Englightenment THEN gnome starts over it.. so the gnome start menu thing, covers up half the enlightenment virtual desktop part.. and takes control of the right clicking feature to bring up the menu in enlightenment.. How do I disable all this gnome crap... Please help me asap As i'm really in a rush to get this working So i can go about enjoying linux.

[newbie] un-Enlightenment
Hi, Anybody notice a concerted effort to phase out the Enlightenment window manager? I would probably dump Mandrake before I dropped Enlightenment. -- Regards, Paul Hardiman InterMedia, Inc Technology Solutions 303-581-0606, Fax 581-0506, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] un-Enlightenment
What makes you say this? I know we use Enlightenment about 90% of the time. Our main workstations are Mandrake 8 machines, and we love Enlightenment! We even downloaded a whole boat load of themes. But I don't get the impression that Enlightenment is trying to phased out or something. I don't know many that use it personally. I know my sister uses KDE, but it's simple and it's Windowy. And she's only bee a Linux user for like 8 months now. She says she'd like to use the stuff that I do, but just hasn't given it a try. Personally I don't know much about Enlightenment, as a whole. I don't know if a rc file can be created, or if you can set up the Function keys to open apps. But it more then does what I need it to do. Being able to have 4 desktops, each having 24 virtual desktops each. I love Enlightenment. I use other windows managers in other distros though. For example, I use Piewm in FreeBSD. Since Enlightenment is launched through GNome in FreeBSD. I can't stand GNome! tdh T.

[newbie] gnome, enlightenment and epplets (init script?)
I'm running Gnome and Enlightenment and I'm trying to figure out how to control which epplets are started automatically when I reboot/restart Enlightenment. Is there a config file I can edit somewhere? I'm trying to fix an annoying behaviour my Enlightment has with regard to epplets. Whenever I start an epplet, that epplet is added to the list of epplets that get started automatically when Enlightenment restarts. So right now I have many instances of the E-Mounbox and the E-CPU-flame-thingy starting automatically every time I restart enlightenment. As near as I can tell, starting an epplet from the user menu seems to add a call to that epplet to some kind of Enlightenment session init script somewhere, but I can't seem to find where. Here's some version information from my system, in case it matters: Distribution: Linux Mandrake release 7.0 (Air) O.S. Release: 2.2.14-15mdk (686i) O.S. Version: #1 (1/4/2000) Gnome Version: 1.0.51 Enlightenment Version: 0.16.3 (11/22/1999) Any ideas? I checked the newbie list archives for this one, but I didn't find anything. If this issue has been covered already, I apologise. Thanks! - Curt Oh, btw, does anyone know where can I find some good user docs for enlightenment? www.enlightenment.org doesn't seem to have much.

Is there a config file I can edit somewhere? Get out of E and edit ...e_session-XX.snapshots.0 in the .enlightenment directory (it should be easy enough to figure out after staring at it for a few seconds). If you try to do it in E, E will rewrite it upon logout. Whenever I start an epplet, that epplet is added to the list of epplets that get started automatically when Enlightenment restarts. So right now I have many instances of the E-Mounbox and the E-CPU-flame-thingy starting automatically every time I restart enlightenment. You should be able to Alt-leftclick the epplets to bring up a close button. But if that doesn't fix your problem, the above definitely will. There is also eesh, but I haven't really learned how to use it yet. Enlightenment Version: 0.16.3 (11/22/1999) If you can, install 0.16.5 - there were some bug fixes, and a few things were added to the Settings menu. Oh, btw, does anyone know where can I find some good user docs for enlightenment? www.enlightenment.org doesn't seem to have much. Thx. I've been wondering that myself. I pretty much go by the built-in docs, and occasionally bug the good folks in the E-devel mailing list. Jesse -- !! Jesse C. Chang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [___] `|' "I have the simplest tastes.

Mozilla è un pochino più veloce e stabile di Netscape 6. Lo trovi in www.mozilla.org, e si scarica senza problemi seguendo le istruzioni del sito. Se hai problemi di leggibilità con i caratteri che ti mostra netscape 4.x, nella voce preferenze, setta la sostituzione dei caratteri originali del sito con i tuoi, e scegli caratteri e dimensioni che ti tornano utili: io non ho più avuto problemi.

Re: [newbie-it] Enlightenment
mmm... strano, i passi da fare sono: 1) eseguire sndconfig accertandosi che tutti i suoni di esempio vengano riprodotti correttamente 2) fatto questo sndconfig oltre a configurare la scheda audio crea in /dev un file dsp che viene utilizzato come periferica di output sonoro, andare su enlightenment col pulsante destro del mouse si accede al menu' delle configurazioni cliccare sulla voce audio settings e abilitare l'audio a questo punto dovrebbe filare tutto liscio, se non fosse cosi provare a lanciare manualmente esd da un terminale e provare se funziona...

Re: [newbie] Re : Enlightenment
Thanks for the tips. It was so good to get an iconbox at last, that I did it again, and got another one, right on top of the first. Then I tried iconifying a couple of windows, and both icons no doubt popped up in the (hidden) first iconbox! I don't suppose there's a way of moving an iconbox?

Click both the left and right buttons at the same time, that will give you a middle click. You should get a menu that says "User Menus, Desktop, Settings, Themes" and a few more.

[newbie] gnome, enlightenment, etc....
ok.. really dumb question this time... What is the main difference between Gnome, Enlightenments, KDE, etc... I am really confused about which one to use and don't know what the difference is.. I do know that I used enlightenment yesterday and everything disappeared off of the desktop.. I had to log in as root, delete me user account and create a new account in order to get the desktop back... Thanks, Rich Foreman
