[e-users] Any known E22 video issues?

[Roy Reese]

OK, this is about to deal with Java which is its own can of worms, but I 
recently had to install a Java-based tax program here in Spain which installs 
and runs perfectly on my small Mageia 6 (stable) laptop with E21, but which has 
a completely transparent main window on my regular Mageia Cauldron 
(development) laptop with E22. All the popup windows render perfectly, but not 
the main one -- which creates a wee bit of a usability issue.

The first suspect was a driver. However, by default Mageia installs a light 
IceWM alongside the main DE . . . and the program works just fine in an IceWM 
session in Cauldron -- pretty much narrowing it down to something not playing 
nice with E22.

Are there any known graphics/rendering issues with E22 and some of the latest 
packages (e.g., meson)? Any tips for tracking the problem down?

I know that the Mageia devs will soon be moving toward a freeze to get Mga7 
out, so I would like to see if the problem can be isolated/fixed.

Yes, that I have had.

Thanks for the information on Qt, Simon. vlc has shown up in both mga6 and 
mga7. Qt apps are not the only ones affected, as I cannot get the Pidgin plugin 
working with the systray for some reason (will ask in the distro), along with a 
few other things. After looking around a bit just now it seems that things are 
still a mess, with some older apps having either no appindicator compatible 
solution or one designed for Ubuntu/Debian, e.g., there is a PPA for parcellite 
with no source code.

I am just catching up with mailing lists, but this is an unanswered question I 
have raised in the past given that E dropped support for Xembed back in E20. 
AFAIK there is no way to get stalonetray on a shelf. I have it running for a 
couple of applications in the upper left corner of the screen where it does not 
bother anything.

However, that solution does not solve the problem for applications which have 
shifted to appindicator notifications, such as the update notifications in my 
current distro (Mageia). So to rephrase the question for the list regarding the 
use of the E system tray in X, let me try with a two-part question:

1) Does the E systray support appindicator notifications X?

2) a. If so, what packages apart from application-specific indicators are 
needed to implement it properly?

   b. If not, what is needed to have systray notifications?

Is this why Entrance seems to be maintained no longer? I have not bothered to 
try to bring it into Mageia, but my old Manjaro setup I had it working rather 
nicely, even grabbing backgrounds from the themes to use in it.

I have an X-based system with lxdm that works well. There is Entrance for E 
that I really, really liked when I was using Manjaro, although there seems to 
be little activity: https://git.enlightenment.org/misc/entrance.git/

It really would be nice to have something for those of use who have not used a 
mouse in nearly 15 years and whose wrists thank us for it!

Juan, just edit the libinput config directly (in X11: 
/user/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf):
Arch Wiki (always good no matter your distro!): 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput
Man pages: https://www.mankier.com/4/libinput (or of course, man libinput 
in the terminal)

If you are using Wayland, there is a graphical front end (see link at bottom of 
Arch wiki).

Best,
Roy

Hmm,I would have expected a panel to be defined. Have you checked that a panel 
is defined? Menu > Settings > Shelf. Once you have a shelf, load the modules 
you want (Menu > Settings > Modules). To add to the shelf, right click it, 
choose Contents and add the systray and anything else.

If E indicates that there is a shelf defined but it is not loading, there is 
something more serious going on that is likely out of my league.

I have seen posts about this in the past, perhaps in some of the fora I use. 
The 
Arch wiki simply issues a warning about non-official modules, and from time to
time the AUR version would not compile properly, So perhaps I spoke too 
strongly. 
I do not that there are users who use it regularly. Mounting and unmounting 
works 
well in E19, so I haven't felt the need for the module.

Hi David,

Is it that you do not want to mount those drives in the first place, or would 
like to unmount them?

I know that in E19 (and I assume E17), you can set EFM to *not* mount drives 
automatically. See Settings > File Manager > Device and uncheck "Mount volumes 
on insertion".

What I have noticed in E19 is that I can unmount external devices, but not 
always eject them (pen drives yes; most external HDDs, no).

If you are unable to unmount them in Debian (I'm on Manjaro), there are two 
options. First, perhaps someone could suggest a simple bash script that would 
work the magic outside of EFM. Second, simply use another FM. EFM is not the 
greatest FM around (and intolerably slow on a 32-bit machine until about 6 
months ago) and there are a lot of good ones out there. I have used 
DoubleCommander for over a year in part because it automatically mounts the Win 
partitions on my dual-boot machine -- and I love the dual pane managers. 
SpaceFM is similar and much lighter. You can also install LXDE's PCmanFM or 
XFCE's Thunar. (The irony in all these suggestions is that although I now 
sometimes use EFM, I have mostly kept it active for mounting and unmounting 
external drives!)

By the way, the Places module is constantly criticised for not playing nice in 
E, so Debian may not have elected to include in in the repositories.

I hope some of these ramblings help.

Best,
Roy
