Hasimir and all the others interested of this package. I fixed the fbpanel not shutting down when launching e17. But...I also noticed that when I repackaged the pet that I had copied the working wmreboot, wmexit etc... scripts to /bin and they belong to the /usr/bin. It means that the previous ones where called with Pupshutdown. So...My newly packaged pet from first page now have both fixes. I will make a fixing pet also for those who have already customized their e17 and dont want to uninstall it.

Hasimir and all the others. I recommend to uninstall existing e17 pet and redownload the repackaged pet from same first page download link.

Well...it didnt take long. I made the pet which fixes fbpanel existing problem, fbpanel will now be proberly shut down when launching e17 and now the scripts which Pupshutdown uses to exit, shutdown, restartwm and reboot works properly from Shutdown icon in the menu.

Install the pet and all above are fixed. And the scripts in the wrong place are removed.

the new package works fine BUT:

- there are still problems with the reboot/shutdown panel ... it doesn't work and when I rebooted the system from the console it crashed X

- for some reason the AudioMixer gadget did not work ... I had to manually start AlsaMixer and use it to regulate my volume settings

Hasimir. I will check the package again when I have time. I am now a little busy with dpup exprimo.
What closing app are you referring to. I use PupShutdown for closing.
I have it in Polarpup as default app.
If you use e17 own shutdown app, it does not work with puppies.

Pemasu,

Maybe ask iguleder, i think he talked about a patch for e16 to get the long-standing shutdown-issue solved. Maybe he could also patch e17.

The best solution we have at the moment is building Enlightenment (the window manager itself) with "--disable-syscon" and use a tool like Pupshutdown. Enlightenment's default shutdown/poweroff/etc are handled through PAM, which isn't there on Puppy.

Regarding getting Pupshutdown and similar tools to work, there is a problem. E is started with "enligtenment-start" and wmreboot, wmexit, restartwm, etc' try to kill a process named like that to exit E17. However, "enlightenment-start" launches "enlightenment", which is the window manager itself. It's similar to the problem with Xfce, which starts the panels and they don't die so you can't quit Xfce.

The solution is simple: add "killall enlightenment" to wmreboot, restartwm, wmexit and wmpoweroff.

I just log out of E17 and type reboot or poweroff at the X prompt.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

I haven't looked at the .pet But if you have /ect/enlightenment ,see if the sysactions.conf file is in there. If it is, open it as text and edit lines 46 and 47 to use your shutdown/reboot scripts. The scripts still need to be fixed like Iguleder said . This will make the e exit menu shutdown /reboot options work.

This is a older fix , I don't use the e exit menu .

an alternative approach would be to

Code: Select all

echo 'enlightenment' > /etc/windowmanager
after startup is done (if there is a way in e17 to autostart things). this way around, you don't need to alter all the 'inbuilds'.

Thanks for all the information and suggestions. The first page enlightenment pet has been repackaged. It went through considerable reorganization. I tested and checked shutdown and reboot options.
Sysconf module has been disabled. Ppoweroff added to the Ibar, Mixer module removed and Alsamixer added to the Ibar, Forecasts gadget added to the Ibar, scripts checked and fixed etc....

I downloaded Lucid 529 aka three headed dog. Couldnt get wlan working whatever I tried. First time in Puppy history since kernel 2.6.33.2 puppies.
Eth0 connection worked, I uploaded and downloaded the e17 pet and checked that it works.
Now the pet has Xmessage which informs that after installing the pet, reboot is needed.
The pet changes the needed scripts.

It might cause that first shutdown needs to be done using console:
wmreboot

E17 themes pack which I created after hunting themes from the net. You get 6 extra themes with installing this pet.

Hi.

@backi

Thanks for bringing up this old thread again.

@pemasu.

Installed the e17 package into my Osiris Studio, which is a LazY Puppy Derivative (Lucid based) about 300 MB (now 310 MB). It took some time to refine my LazY Remaster Script to keep all the files installed on a remaster, but now it works!

I think I will give it some more MB and use the bodhi theme for main desktop environment! This looks really nice

Thanks for all the work!

Hi.

Sorry to say, but I can't upload this ISO for some reasons like too many menu entries (.desktop files) linked to my external and private files, also to some external applications that are not available to download at my repository at smokey01.com/RSH/. So, there won't be really much fun for other users.

Beside this, hey, it's just a LazY Puppy! :)

So, nothing really new to offer within the Osirirs Studio.

But after building in the e17 Window Manager into Osiris Studio, I do know already what to do. So, I will try to re-package the e17 Window Manager for the use in LazY Puppy (e17 can not be installed and used out of the box - it will crahs the LazY Puppy Shutdown-GUI functions on installing it) and upload it to my LazY Puppy repository. The LazY Puppy users will be informed by LazY Puppy's Easy Online Updater when uploaded.

It might need some time to start on this, because I'm already busy...

FYI: The Tizen fork of Linux for embedded devices, watch-phones, and soon - smartphones just announced an update of their EFL, Elementary, Enlightenment app

http://www.tizenexperts.com/2014/04/ef ... 7-release/

I am looking forward to using Tizen, especially on a smartphone, so it would be nice to get familiar with the windowmanager ...

I'll give this a try on Raring on a Samsung Netbook ...

Thanks!
