[e-users] On-Screen Keyboard for lock screen?

Is there currently any way to get an on-screen keyboard on the lock screen? I use Onboard which has an option for this in the settings but I have not looked into what it does and it has no effect that I can see. Is this something which needs work or is there a setting somewhere that I missed?

[e-users] Application Icons Suddenly Disappeared

2022-07-03 Thread Michael Hughes
While running a slightly older version of EFL/E on Fedora 35, All of the application icons suddenly disappeared from ibar, task bar and menus. The Enlightenment icons were fine. Rather than mess with it, I decided to update and installed EFL 1.26.2 and E 0.25.3 (default build parameters) after

John Did you accept the default configuration for hardware acceleration of the compositing functions during the initial setup? If you did, log in with the default window manager and delete the .enlightenment directory from the home directory (note the initial period; it is a hidden file).

Jeff Thanks for the reply. I removed the TryExec line from the Enlightenment.desktop file and then E came up without any problems. Before doing this, I installed XFCE to see if that might initialize something. This caused the Session menu to appear with XFCE but still no E. I would guess
