Hi All,

I have just upgraded entrance and note it will not strart 
enlightenment anymore, at least I think it is entrance rather that 
e17, I had upgraded e17 at the same time, but a restart of e17
worked fine, it is just when I whent to check out entrance that it
would not boot.

I notice there has been a change to the menus in entrance, there is
a single enlightenment tab, instead of the e16 and e17 tabs as in
the old version. Could it be it is trying to boot e16? If so, where
do I tell it to boot e17?

Thanks,
Bernie

Anyone?


Entrance is now autodetecting the sessions that are installed an your
computer via the freedesktop.org (FDO) xsession files.  Three things may
be causing your issues -

A) A bug that was fixed recently, update and try again.

B) The FDO specs are sometimes rather loosely followed by
distributions.  I'm in the process of testing and tweaking the EFL FDO
support on as many different distros as I can to help with this issue.

C) Some people that use Enlightenment don't bother installing GNOME or
KDE.  Some distros assume, or even prefer one of those two, and often
only install the FDO files as part of GNOME or KDE.  Sometimes you can
track down just the FDO packages and install them.  Look for GNOME or
KDE packages with xdg, fdo, data, icon theme, or menu in their names.

Thanks, but I did A) and no joy. I am not sure how Entrance detects sessions, does it look
in /etc/X11/Sessions/ if so, I have an e17 file in there that has this as it's contents:

-----------------------------------------------------------------/etc/X11/Sessions/e17---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

startup=$HOME/.xsession

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
userxkbmap=$HOME/.Xkbmap

sysresources=/etc/X11/Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/Xmodmap
sysxkbmap=/etc/X11/Xkbmap

# merge in defaults
if [ -f "$sysresources" ]; then
     xrdb -merge "$sysresources"
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
     xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

# merge in keymaps
if [ -f "$sysxkbmap" ]; then
     setxkbmap `< "$sysxkbmap"`
     XKB_IN_USE=yes
fi

if [ -f "$userxkbmap" ]; then
     setxkbmap `< "$userxkbmap"`
     XKB_IN_USE=yes
fi

# xkb and xmodmap don't play nice together
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" ]; then
     if [ -f "$sysmodmap" ]; then
        xmodmap "$sysmodmap"
     fi

     if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
        xmodmap "$usermodmap"
     fi
fi

unset XKB_IN_USE

if [ -x "$startup" ]; then
         exec "$startup"
fi

exec /usr/bin/enlightenment-0.17
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any more suggestions?

Thanks.
