Getting Enlightenment

[palo]

(E17 complains about another compositor already running the desktop, when its own is activated)

This is a dual monitor setup with 2 desktops set up. 1 per monitor

After your first post my searching found only a reference to dual monitor setup - the situation being that the first monitor was considered to be one instance of the compositor running(sorry I can't find the link). This is either a new bug or there is a simple setting fix. Either way, I think if you file a ticket you should get it resolved.

Update: I am having a problem with nothing showing up on Applications hover (Mate) - have to go to Menu Settings and select Mate Applications. Will install 13 and see if it happens there too.

I'll do that after the weekend, when the house is quiet again.

I had that issue as well. Google-Fu saved me on that one.

Now that Enlightenment E17 has been officially released, any chances of seeing an Enlightened Mint release ?

nemeas> One should never say never but for now the Mint developers are limiting efforts on a few main releases - and doing a wonderful job at it.
To use the stable release of E17 add ppa:efl/trunk and install E17. Mate users will have to select enlightenment applications for anything to show in menus - because of the way Mate is setup Enlightenment does not automatically find the menu list. Previous versions from other PPAs should be purged first. This will supply the basic official and stable E17.

As of today the nightly ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn has been fixed and is building properly. For the more adventurous - as it marches on toward E18. By using this PPA it is possible to easily install the unofficial extras for example the dock Engage; Cairo-dock can work but not very well as E treats it as a window and if you like tiling it will end up all over the place. Things like ecomorph - compiz cube etc. can also be installed from there - just to list a few.

So maybe there are one or two Mintians using E - enjoy!
