Software :: Enlightenment Installation Wrecked GUI At Login
Jun 21, 2011
I just recently got into Linux, and I've been experimenting with the various desktop environments available out there. I'm currently running Linux Mint 11. I tried to install Enlightenment by using a "sudo apt-get install e16" command. I then logged out of my session and re-logged in with the E16 session. I played around with it for a bit, but decided that it wasn't for me, and decided to log out again and re-log in to my Gnome session. I was surprised to find a mixture of Gnome and E16.
It appeared as though it was Gnome using the E16 window manager. I then proceeded to run a "apt-get remove e16" command and then restarted the computer. When I logged back in, I found a somewhat wrecked version of Gnome, with an X instead of an arrow for a mouse, no window decorations and no Alt-Tab nor Alt-F4. I decided to run Compiz Fusion and reloaded Compiz and everything went back to normal. How do I correct this? I don't want to have to run Compiz Fusion to reload Compiz everytime I log in...

I've been having some problems with KDE lately so I've been wanting to start using E. It looks great and all but I can't get the font DPI to change to 96. I found a little barebones dialog option that had an option for Force Font DPI but it doesn't seem to do anything, even after restarting X from CLI.

Downloaded tar from here: [url]
Downloaded and installed all the below dependencies except edje. On ./configure of edje, it says
Code:
configure: error:
Below is the output when I run ./configure from enlightenment-0.16.999.55225 directory.
Code:
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables E_THUMB_CFLAGS and E_THUMB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Yes I know the RPM is available too, but I have to install this tar.

A few days ago I test the Enlightenment WM. So, I was thinking there the Black/Open box , WindowMaker and others WM was on the repositories.

There was a similar question in the Centos mailing list in Apr2010, but no response, so I'll reopen it.
Enlightenment is a popular desktop (after Gnome and KDE) so there might be a Centos-savy installer laying around somewhere. Tried 'yum install enlightenment' [which works on some other distros] but found 'nothing'.
I found instructions for 'Fedora' here... [URL] but how Fedora 6 or 7 maps to Centos 5.5

Does anyone know how (and if) I can unpack Enlightenment theme files (*.edj) under Windows XP? I used to unpack tar files to use some graphic elements under windows (I am a Blackbox for Windows themer) but since Enlightenment theme files switched to .edj I can't open them anymore. Is there a Windows application that can help me with this? Can I change the extension to tar or something (I used to do that in the past) and unpack the files

My PC is a Core2Duo7400/4gbRAM/9600GT. I install Enlightenment e17 on Ubuntu 10.04. It works perfect and runs very fast, but I have a little problem. When I open any browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) and a right would click -> save image takes a long time to open the box. I've noticed that happens only once, at first. if I open nautilus, it is the same, it takes quite at first, but only once. I think it is being loaded "some" of gnome and I want to load on boot.

Been trying to get Enlightenment to install on my 13.37 multilib. Used sbo to install most of the libraries (ecore needed the LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" fix so I manually did that). All installed correctly. Then started enlightenment itself in sbopkg. It did the 'file in wrong format' thing, so I manually dled the slackbuild, added the LDFLAGS line, and ran it. It produced this error, and I have no idea what its telling me.
Code:
checking how to recognize dependent libraries... pass_all
checking for ar... ar
checking for strip... strip
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output from gcc -std=gnu99 object... ok

I have used Ubuntu since 7-4; I now have 10.4. However, in the last week I have been taken to the login screen three times. This could be potentially calamitous. Ctrl+Alt +Backspace have by default been disable since 9-4. There is no way I am pressing atl+Prtscr +K. I wonder if there is a new zap command in 10.4, and if so, how to disable it. I have never found the need to go back back to the login window. I am generally using the command line when doing this.

At text console (alt+ctr+f2/f3) i enter my username and pass it give this for a sec and resets (clean) console

login: no shell permission denied
i used unetbootin (fedora 14 netinstall to update) and later i updated 1,5G before reboot (did update that fix, forgot its name tho :s)
I would most likely reinstall everything, but i have some work at laptop and as death-line is near, i would prefer to fix it if possible.

I have just did an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. I am planning to go to 10.04 . After the upgrade everything was ok but I noticed the GRUB was still legacy. So I updated my GRUB to GRUB2. Now when I boot, after entering my logon-id and password, it just brings me back to the login-id screen (to logon on). Any indication of what is wrong and how I should fix this ?
I have no encryptions. [added comments] Currently reading thread about login loop bug with 9.10 Followed instructions about possible missing pre-release update but even if it did do updates, I am still login screen looping. Doing additional researches until someone answers with the fix.
did :
CTRL + ALT + F1 switch to one virtual console
sudo service gdm stop

I installed 10.04 on my pc. I also have 9.08 and XP installed. Both work. The 10.04 gui login screen displays and asks for the password. I enter the password. The screen goes blank but after a few seconds the gui login box re appears and again asks for a login. I rebooted into the TTY, created a new user, checked the new user was in in /etc/passwd and that I could get into the new user's account. When I rebooted into the gui the new user was there and I entered the password but again I just got back to the gui login window. The pc I am using is at least 5 years old. I have tried startx and I do get the gui background but no controls are displayed. I am using 32 bit 10.04. Using the TTY I have uploaded all the current fixes.

I would like to post my problems here with Fedora 11 regarding that I am using Dell inspiron 1525, Dual core-N series. I have got two problems:
First;- After I updated my system, I have experienced a a login problem , which is each time I try to login and insert my password correctly it seems that it will login but it comes back to the same login screen as if I did not do anything, but after too many times it works.
Second: I read some posts in a website that talks about configuring the RPM fusion "Repo" and I did all the steps posted there , but after that whenever I try to update or download anything through terminal.... it appears the following:

I downloaded the .ISO for Fedora Core 14 Live, with the intention of installing it to my HDD.
I burn the .ISO with no reported problems.
I boot to the installation CD and can get to the point where it asks me to Login (a timer is also going down for Automated Login).
Once I click "Login", nothing else ever happens.
I can hear the disc spinning in the drive and it's trying to load something, but it never does.
I thought that maybe my older (2003) laptop might just be slow, so I allowed it to do whatever it seemed to be doing overnight while I slept.
Well, I woke up this morning and it was still doing the same exact thing with no results.

Oh, and I intend to dual-boot. I have already made a partition using Norton Partition Magic. It's NTFS filesystem for now, but I figured the Fedora Installation would give me an option to use that partition anyway - NTFS or not (meaning, it would wipe the NTFS file system and use whatever it is that Fedora Core uses). Am I mistaken in assuming this?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 server on a dual Opteron Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX220.After reboot the screen goes black (as if X is probing), displays garbage (short white horizontal stripes aligned such that I get 2 broken vertical stripes) and the system seems to stop (no visible reaction to keyboard input, console switching apparently not working, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE no visible effect, HD LED switches off and on only sporadically for very short time). This happens regardless of booting the normal or the rescue image. The last visible output from the rescue boot says something about init-bottom, but I can't see if it succeeds or not.The installation process itself fell back to text console, which was fine for me

I inadvertently destroyed a wonderful 9.04 version and downloaded and installed 9.10 from DVD successfully, specifying automatic logging on of my user. Did a lot of cosmetic changes and it rebooted Ok at least once. It's probably a red herring, but the last thing I did was comment out a line in /etc/default/grub that had "splash" in it, and afterwards ran the script that creates menu.cfg.Well, the splash is still there but now it ends with the login screen. I give it the correct password, and it splashes again and comes backs to the login screen. Repeatedly. i.e. I can't login at all.

I can't seem to login to X after I've upgraded from F13 to F14 (x86_64 KDE Spin). I retained my /home partition with my user account etc.
The system fails when I try to login to the account I had on F13, but if I create a new user account I can login to X.
I did have the nvidia proprietary graphics drivers installed... how to track down an X issue like this relating to logging in to a system via the GUI?

i upgraded to the 10.04 beta today . i upgraded from 9.10 64bit. I am on a dual boot system, Ubuntu is on my secondary hard-drive and windows xp is on my primary hard drive.Since upgrading to the 10.04 beta i cannot login into XP, GRUB restarts when i select it. selecting Ubuntu works though. during the upgrade process GRUB prompted me to select some options and to be quite honest i was not entirely sure what to select, regardless i tried three times to select options, twice it rejected me from selecting all of the ( what seemed to be) disks. until i tried selecting two out of the 5 names on the list it gave me.

I've tried to test 10.04. One, by upgrading a working KK installation. The other, was a fresh install. Both were as VMWare virtual machines.Both installs had the same problem. The install/upgrade process goes smoothly. When the GUI logon screen appears & I click on the user name, I'm unable to type in the password box. Nothing appears. If I then click "continue", the result is "authentication failure".

I had cloned my 250 GB HD to a new 1 TB HD using 'dd'. After that Ubuntu does not login. The MBR [Grub] and Windows 7 do start without any problem and all the programs are working perfect under it. When I boot to Ubuntu, the login screen just keeps displaying 'Automatically logging in...'. On the first boot from the cloned HD, Ubuntu displayed that the /home is not found and offered Check/Skip/Ignore and I selected Check. After that the message is not shown. Another weird thing is that at logon, the system does a log off and display a warning that the Power Manager Applet is not responding and asks for Log off anyway.
I have the old HDD intact with me.

I posted this the other day. Just thought that made it would get more attention here. http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/show....php?t=1672472Quote:I have been running a mythbuntu 8.1 for almost 2 years now. I finilly decided to do a distr.-upgrade. I used the distr.-upgrade tool in X to install the upgrade. On reboot everything was working fine. I then did an update and a reboot. Now I get nothing that I can read. no bios splash, no grub, no x login, just horizotil black lines that keep flashing on screen. I tryed to hit control-alt-f2 and nothing changes. I hit the numlock and the numlock light does not come on. It seems like the system is not even running.
Now the kicker. If I telnet into the machine it is running. I can access mythweb from another computer. It is still recoding and trascoding. It is running. But I can't just into login to it locally.I setup up gdm to autologin but it does not start x.

I've just ran the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 via the online update manager. It rebooted and now hangs at the text screen before any graphical login screen appears. The last line on screen appears to show a failure to connect to a cifs share on my other windows computer.
I've tried to select the recovery menu, which then appears but the keyboard does not allow any of the options to be selected with the arrow keys or any other I tried, I've tried a ps2 keyboard and that doesn't allow any selections either. But it is possible to use ctrl-alt-del to reboot from this non responsive menu.
