I had been experiencing the f1 error. Also complete freezes where I had to press alt + f1 to get into a console and kill everything. Most often, applications would crash in tiled mode if I tried to move them around.
After I sent my message to the list, I re-installed Enlightenment using synaptic and checked a few things that were not initially installed, but sounded important. Fortunately my configuration was saved. I know something is different. Prior to the re-install, every time I right clicked an image and select Shotwell my system would completely freeze and I would have to go into a console, sometimes hit the power button. That problem is gone after the re-install so I am hopeful. The lack of power options is still nagging though. You mentioned 18.2. Is that the latest because it's what I am running. For the record it's an NVIDIA GT 610 with the latest 331.2 drivers and kernel 3.12.6 If problems return, I will better document them. Thanks, William On 01/28/2014 07:27 AM, Dave wrote: > Hi William.
