Hello everyone here is a probably soon-to-be former E27 Arch linux user.
After installation I had a few issues with Elive and here are the fixes for them if anyone needs them.
Elive and Secure Boot: While the installer recommends to find a tutorial on the net and disable that feature, you can have your cake and eating it too with the folowing command:
sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub
It will request you to put twice a password, in my case I simply written Elive. Reboot the system.
At reboot it will enter on a screen known as the MOK Manager. Tap enter before the 10 seconds are up (if not you will have to disable secure boot and try everything again from the beginning), move to "Enroll MOK", then "Continue", after that "Confirm", then put the password you have written before and go to "Reboot".
After doing this steps certain non-free drivers like the Nvidia ones should work with secure boot enabled.
Elive using Thunar instead of Enlightenment's own file manager: Modern releases of Enlightenment (E17 and above) include their own file manager known as enlightenment_filemanager however Elive makes little use of it, preferring to attempt to launch pcmanfm, thunar or nautilus. This can be fixed by removing Thunar, manually removing one of the fallback executables Elive attempts to run and replacing it with a symlink to our preferred program with the following commands:
sudo apt remove -y thunar
sudo rm /usr/bin/nautilus
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/enlightenment_filemanager /usr/bin/nautilus
Steam not working (and lack of Vulkan support) on Nvidia cards: While the installer had indeed installed steam, it didn't install the 32bit nvidia libraries and the nvidia-specific vulkan support libraries which was fixed with the following command:
sudo apt install -y libnvidia-glcore:i386 libnvidia-eglcore:i386 libglx-nvidia0:i386 libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:1386 nvidia-vulkan-icd
The timezone was lost on reboot: The fix for this issue was written on the tread bellow:
Anyway that's about it I hope to have a great time here, thanks everyone for the work done on this distribution and see you on a later day.
