Enlightenment (E24) installation / Testing

Going back to E16 :slight_smile:
Will comeback to E23 when some more glitches are fixed.... Did liked it but Networking caused me problem when going to VPN and VPN (have to turn it off sometime)

And also the screen problem something happen at a wrong time for me ( production environnement LOL)

E16....
ciao :wink: E23, we'll see eachother again this year...

I always do that on the command line (E16 and E23) how do you do that?

as for the VPN I also do it from the command line but sometime it messes up On and OFF my connection and I have difficulty to turn off and On network

As for E16 and E23, not sure what you mean ?
At login screen, top right, I can choose E23 or E16....

I meant I do that on both versions of E.
"nordvpn c" and "nordvpn d" but I can see how that might mess up turning the main connection on/off .... especially if you've got the "killswitch" enabled.

when I disconnect (d) nordvpn, sometime my network does not work anymore after that....

I have to trigger it / restart it or even sometime Reboot ! weird... Some weird problem.

killswitch ???
see "nordvpn settings" to check if it's enabled.

Nope it,s not
I though about it too...

Hello!

One little thing: I like using an extra usb keyboard on the eeepc's;
And is under E16 it works, with E2x it don't, even if seen in lsusb...

Any idea?

Olleh!

Only this one;
Make sure that the keyboard is connected
before you turn on the Asus...
If not working - we have to inform @Thanatermesis = bug ...

Hello!

I tried different combinations; The thing seems to be E2x relative, as it works on E16...

Hey-Ho!

I use E23 all the time, also with usb keyboards attached on and off.

I have noticed that on a helix2 (tablet/laptop mix) it takes quite long (>10sec)before the keyboard (defined as USB) is seen again after a detach re-attach. But that is about all. :thinking:

When attaching/checkinh hardware, have a terminal open and run:
"tail -f /var/log/syslog" to get more insight on what's going on when you plug-in.

so there's two options:

  • hardware / drivers / OS slowness
  • E23 setup slowness

to make sure that is not e23, try the option "do not touch my keyboard settings" stuff in the keyboard configurations, this will simply use the default OS settings as the same ones you have for e16 (e16 dont configure keyboard at all), if the issue still happens, then is the first option, if goes fast, it may should be reported to E :slight_smile:

In E23 I keep getting Dialog box which is bigger than screen. So I cannot reach some buttons e.g Save dialog box when I am saving a document in OpenOffice. Or the maximize buttons on some apps. For now my temporary solution is to select the the dialog box right click and select the option move with keyboard. How can i set the computor to always put the dialog boxes within the laptop's screen limits?

I don't think e23 has a "screens limit" feature like the e17 of elive has on the stable 3.0 version

but it can be probably (should) imported in the future as an own implementation

Okay will keep watching this space. E23 sure has a lot of missing functionalities and bugs! Some times you can encounter 3 bugs in a row. For sure i agree with @Thanatermesis that it is not ready for a productivity desktop. But i kinda enjoy experimenting with it ,so will continue checking bugs out. I hope I don't overwhelm and annoy anyone.

No worry, certainly not me.
The more eyeballs on E23 the better. :nod:

As a temporary solution you could scale down your screen through the settings panel, until they sort of fit.
Another option is to go to another virtual desktop and move the window around from there.

E23 does handle that a bit strange, in that the too large window does not overlap an adjacent virtual desktop.
