Suggested improvements for a system with only E16

this will end in the same but requires even more interaction (will make the user to want to close it even more)

what about opening the pdf without borders (the user will be unable to close it unless reads the pdf to know the key to close or minimize it) :rofl2:

:flushed: omg i think that its an amazing idea :runningfast:

You are becoming a very, very bad man. :rofl2:

Omfg, I'm beginning to like the idea too ..... it's contageous! :runaway:

Who wants to read about hotkeys when you expect it to be your unalienable right to click through everything? :eyepopping:
GUI designers cater for stupidity and thus create their own users! :sniff:

exactly, that's why "unix design" is (and stills) so good

thx .... .... .... downloaded :heart_eyes:

E16 updates:

  • no more "audio file missing" error / warnings when changing theme
  • now all the applications will always show window borders by default (even gtk3 ones) :+1:

Anybody was able to test the nvidia 390 drivers to see if works from the last iso? (machines like @Rebel450)

I cannot test more than this step because i have no nvidia card, but it proofs that it loads correctly the compiled module, so it is meant to work from a machine with nvidia

@Thanatermesis means:
Intel (or also other) chipset with additional Nvidia GeForce 610m; Optimus - or similar,
mainly to find on NoteBooks....

optimus is a more delicated driver, better to know -first- if nvidia just works at itself (390 for example), then, after to confirm that it works, to see if optimus works or not, or how to make it working

optimus is more tricky to configure, but -maybe- it should just work by default with the same nvidia installer

Great!
But how to get it -

apu
apug

Or
api e16

Or
dist-upgrade

Or
install fresh

Or
....

for the first:

apug

for the second:

apug
restart desktop configurations (from menus)

or: just use a next build

in the moment not possible:

ok, try to just reboot the machine, i included an automated fix related to the debian stable buster rleease

if you mean apug not working, because of Buster now stable, I did rebooted and it doesn't change anything
Still apug errir

But I must have misunderstood 2 discussions

ok again the same problem: apt is broken and so you cannot use elive-upgrader lol, i should improve the tool to not depend of apt...

then just do:

~ ❯❯❯ sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

and you are done :slight_smile:

I never used that one before .... good!
I had to use that command twice to get it to work. The first time it only ran "update".
After that all is good.

I ran it and " then " I was able to run apug on my 3 machines

On a side note:
Anyone aiming at customizing E16 ..... do have a look here:
https://themes.effx.us/e16-Documentation.html

It's actually still a work in progress and IMO very well done.
The maker deserves all the kudos he can get ... it's in fact the ONLY proper human readable E16 documentation available. :hot:
