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.

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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThere 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

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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...
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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedBeen 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying CentOS (as a change from openSuse), I have downloaded DVD and have loaded it as a Virtual Machine. So far so good. It did a "quick" install, which leaves me with Gnome as my desktop, I am used to using KDE, so I tried to use "Add/Remove Software" to load KDE. I also want to load other software which I have as RPMs.
Two questions:
1. My VM is not connected to the internet and when I open the package manager it tries to retrieve information from on-line repositories - I have tried disabling on-line repositories. I do not want it to look on-line, so how do I get it to just look at the installation DVD?
2. Is there an easier way to swap to KDE?
My hard disk is failing and I tried to change to a SSD using the dd command. I can boot up but I get a lot of warnings. The first warning is in GRUB that the device GRUB is looking for does not exist. I tried to install bootlogd to get all the messages to post but installing from the synaptic package manager. Running apt-get install bootlogd gives me these messages:

Is there some way to tell the system I changed to a SSD as I think that is causing the problems ? Or if that is not possible is there some way to transfer my whole system (installed packages, settings and files) to an SSD ? If all else fails I still have an extra spare HDD (exactly the same as the failing one) that I can use but I would prfer the SSD.
how do you do it? I only manage to change Icons for applications that are "pinned" to the destkop.When I go to the root folder, all I get are Songbird icons for all applications.So I changed the Firefox and Dolphin icon on the panel. Now, when I open Dolhpin, the new icon appears on the panel next to the name of the open location.But when I go to the kmenu, it still has the old icon.When I open Firefox, the open windows on the panel still has the standard firefox logo.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make my BURG boot loader look better, right now it has the Ubuntu and Windows icons, but for name it has things like "untu 2.6" because the name won't fit. I am trying to change them simply to "Ubuntu" and "Windows 7", but I'm having some trouble. Using this guide, I am able to change the entries for GRUB2,but it has no effect on my BURG entries. Even if it was just removing the names all together, and just having the icons, that would be fine.

I'm on school internet, so it came up as the name, so I just let it be the default.

The problem is whenever we reboot the system the permissions of / dev/lp0 (line printer) is changing. So every time we are changing the / dev/lp0 permissions through root using chmod 777 /dev/lp0
Is there any smooth solution for this? Why the /dev/lp0 permissions are changed with every reboot?

I just wrote a little script to help anyone out if they want to do this. Just download loginWallpaper.sh open your terminal and cd to the download directory run
Code:
sudo chmod 744 loginWallpaper
then run
Code:
./loginWallpaper.sh
and follow the prompts Make sure the pic you want to use is a .JPG and is in your home directory. Choose Option 1 on your first run. It will move the pic to the proper directory on the system and will open the Gnome Appearance Preferences at the log-in screen. After you run Option 1 logout, goto Background then Add button. Select your wallpaper and "BOOM" it changes. Log back in and run the script again
Code:
./loginWallpaper.sh
only use Option 2 to keep the Gnome Appearance Preferences from opening again.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have no writing privileges for root, user, nor group. After copying Fedora 14 iso image to my USB flash drive, I attempted to take it off to install another distro for mult-ibooting, but was not able to delete the content. I am stuck with no writing privileges on my USB drive.
Here is what may have caused it. When removing the content that was on it before to a /data directory, I accidentally removed the flash drive title = 4003-6F40. So I have directory 4003-6F40 in my /data file. Then after copying Fedora-14 to USB, Fedora-14 is now acting as the title of my USB pen.
(Side note: I never installed using my USB pen because it was before I learned of syslinux, which is what brought me to this issue now that I am trying again to use my USB to install.)
