Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

Hmm, interesting. It said that the E17 packages were there, but not the libecore, etc. I'd love to check again, but my deblet got hosed last since my last endeavors and I've yet to reinstall it. I'll probably take another shot in a day or two...for now my wife is mad at me for wasting so much time playing with computers.

Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

same problem here, has there been any progress? here is the output from apt-get install e17 if it helps:

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
e17: Depends: libecore-con0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-evas0 but it is not installable

Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

Looks like those packages are in the experimental debian repository..

They do appear to be missing from my repo and the tspre repo. Try adding the following to your sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main

And then apt-get update, and apt-get install e17. You may want to remove experimental after that.. since it is, well, experimental.

Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

Experimental is not by default included in sources.list of a Debian OS. The reason for this is that they're... very experimental, and might really screw the OS up (or even device).

You were warned...

Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

E17 packages from experimental cause a crash after the splash screen with this error:

"This is very bad. Enlightenment SEGV'd.

This is not meant to happen and is likely a sign of a bug in Enlightenment or the libraries it relies on. You can gdb attach to this process now to try debug it or you could exit, or just hit restart to try and get your desktop back the way it was."

Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

I'll have to re-look at these when I can get caught up with MER again. Since deblet has more or less been shelved to get Mer operational I've removed my deblet install and have an older copy of the Mer image. Once I get caught up with that I'll see about getting enlightenment to work on it. (maybe Ubuntu's repo's have it already, I'll take a look.)

Re: Enlightenment (e17) for Deblet
 

Thanks. Don't worry about it on deblet. I just wanted to see if there was an easy way to get it going on it. I was really hoping for the newer subversions of it anyway.

Ubuntu doesn't have e17 in the repos. I tried compiling it using the easy_e17 script but I ended up with an error saying that the drive was out of space (which I seriously doubt considering the install was the only thing on my 8GB drive). But, anyway...it didn't work.

Thanks for your help with this.
