@yoda

I prefer e16 to e17
But that’s one opinion

nice! interesting..
what makes you like it more, btw?

@yoda

What do you think about making e16 available to more people. ?

related: E16 Elive derivative system

@yoda

And let’s give yourself a timeframe of « 3 months » for e17 ?

you are optimistic

@triantares

maybe add that to the options in the light-dm-greeter, i.e '' e16(stable) e17(unstable, bugs), e22(working on it)'' or so.

good point, will try that

@triantares

and still want an option for ''onboard'' to be opened if necessary. Without a keyboard you're lost there.

you should try to install a "virtual keyboard" package and open it with "alt + esc", or assign some hotkey fast combo, otherwise this is not possible, only for e22 probably

@Rebel450

Remove the options then.
People will ! play with it as long it is there

thats true, by other side stills "beautiful" desktop, maybe is good to keep it available just to see it? or better to remove it?

BTW there's always a message showing up if you run e17 when installed, saying that is buggy

@yoda

How to I bring back the default defaut Theme when we 1st install ELive ?

You mean the darkone theme? is not showing up on the list of themes if you try others?

@yoda

but I lost the resizing window with middle button feature and I think it's not trough e16 keyboard binding we do that..

ctrl + alt + middle-mouse-click-while-dragging

I assume you have middle-click mouse?

@yoda

(zenity:5320): GLib-WARNING **: 08:40:03.880: ../../../glib/giounix.c:410Error while getting flags for FD: Bad file descriptor (9)

don't worry about these messages, not important

@yoda

My recommendation is having a disclaimer or note somewhere that That using Elive with 2 screen may not work perfectly for some.

what is not working?
well, e16 seems like to not manage so well xinerama (multiscreens)

done, added

@yoda

Could we simply use some WIndows Manager / display manager already available for Debian ? Now that we are on 64 bits & Buster, I am sure there should be one ?

of course, you can even install gnome if you preffer it

api task-gnome-desktop

@yoda

Also, I don't think e16 or E17 were meant to work properly with 2 scree... From my test at least.

e17 should work without problems
