Hello
in my new company, with a friend of mine, we have started a
"Linux Master Server" project: ie with FAI we install all new computers
automaticaly. We have chosen Debian Etch as a starting point but with a
few improvements. E17 is one of the most important ones.
We ran into a few troubles with Entrance:
1/
The PIDFILE defined in /etc/init.d/entrance does not match the real one
created by entranced. In the source tree I can see that it has been
fixed. Is it the case in the trunk ? Is your .deb up to date ?
2/
Entrance does not run the Debian Xsession scheme. I've tried to change
the /etc/entrance/Xsession file but to no avail. Does anyone have a
solution or even a clue ?
3/
Enlightenment has its main menu broken.
3.1/
The "Applications" dialog is obviously broken (graphicaly):
the left part of it is stucker in a rectangle in the left top
corner, unusable
3.2/
In this dialog the "regenerate menus" button, which did not
worked in the 12/03 .deb update, is no more visible. I can't say
if it works now ;) 'cause I can't click on it.
Is there a command line utility to create menus ?
3.3/
I can drag a application from the "applications" dialog to the
Ibar : it works. But I would make a comment: the widget that is
under the mouse is a big rectangle taken from the app dialog
list, and it is not easy to drop it in the Ibar at the point
one's want to... since the mouse pointer is no more visible...
4/
Enlightenment has still a problem with svg: going through the icon theme
dialog, one would just dig into an svg directory and press the apply
button...
Bug reproducable since six months or so.
5/
The mixer applet (or module) is not usable: it simply does not work. It
starts and show a nice ruler but:
5.1/
Each time the applet receive a mouse button it opens and
activate the mute check box: that way you have always the mute
checked...
The ruler does not make the sound volume to change !??
6/
We would like to discuss about the media mounting/unmounting... It
would be nice to have a media menu in E to help new users to use
linux... And E17 deserve a better design than kde for this... Is there
anyone that wants to start a design discussion about this ?
** But the picture is not so bad, I would say that E17 is in a good
shape and that it can be used by non-geek users (corporate users).
80% of functions are working well, and the window manager does
its job perfectly. **
I would like to thanks everyone that has worked hard in the last year
to make this real :) !!!!
Best regards,
Michel
