Hi I upgraded to 8.0 from 7.3 and I got it to work with E16
First of all, I used the E16 rpms from the Guru or Guru Labs or something like that. http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html The other big thing I did was to install apt-rpm and synaptic. http://freshrpms.net/apt/ Dependency heaven. for non-E issues I had to completely remove all dot files. .gconf and .gonfd were a must. on a network issue... I mount an NFS server for my home directory, and when ever I logged out and rebooted, my .gconf stuff would get all f'ed up and I would have to start all over with my configurations. Then I read about a bug that said to add this to my default PostSession script. (/etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/Default) #!/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/X11R6/bin:$PATH if command -v sessreg > /dev/null 2>&1; then sessreg -d -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "$X_SERVERS" -h "$REMOTE_HOST" -l $DISPLAY $USER fi # fixes for gconf not stopping /usr/bin/killall /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 /usr/bin/killall oafd exit 0 Hope this helps. ral, p.s. One thing I still can't do, is get E16 to remember that the panel is to be sticky and not on the widow list. (and any drawers). I wrote a script that I run to set the sticky state, but there doesn't seem to be a way for eesh to set the window skip toggle. p.s.s. And the one really annoying thing is that gnome1 apps cannot be themed. p.s.s.s. And is there any hope of any of the e17 apps being packaged in RPMS?
