enlightenment 0.18.2-1 problems

warm · 2014-01-20 02:13:25

After upgrading from e17 to enlightenment-0.18.2-1 there are few problems:

1. Icons from systray have disappeared. There are no more pidgin and gnubiff icons.

2. There was disabled composit mode and after upgrade fullscreen xterm becomes non-fulscreen after switching desktops. I have to switch on some animation to stay in fullscreen xterm after desktop switching.

Is any way to fix this behavior ?

B.t.w. Does enlightenment have an mail-check aplet the same with gnubiff (imap with ssl and IDLE or NOTIFY support) ? I need something like gnubiff but workable. Gnubiff seems to be dead project:-(.

1. Right click on the systray, go to Systray | Settings and enable xembed.

2. Not sure what you mean by "there was disabled composit mode". I'm in E19 with a compositor rewrite, so I can't test, maybe someone else can help more with this one?

There is a mail module as part of the e-extra-modules, but I've never used it. Worth a try.

1. Oh... You have save me a lot of time with "xembed" check-box. Thanks. Now gnubiff seems works more stable then before I switched xembed on.

2. I'm also not shure about it because I've translate it back to english from russian :-). So it can be composition mode or compositor mode or ... It is something like this: settingd -> screen -> virtual work places and here there is animation of <something (switching between work places)>. There are Blend, Diagonal, Grow, Pane and other variants. When I choose "Disable" then my fullscreen xterm becomes non-fulscreen when I switch back to work place with this fullscreened xterm -- it is annoying ...

Where can I find e-extra-modules ? There is no such package in AUR.

Ah, ok. You're talking about "Flip Animations". Hopefully someone will come by and test it on their machine, E19 doesn't do well with fullscreen windows right now so I'm afraid to try it here.

Typo, I mean e-modules-extra, not e-extra-modules. "mail" is in the -git package.

Confirming the un-fullscreen thing. File a bug at https://phab.enlightenment.org/maniphest/

I think they fixed this.

Could be I haven't tried for a bit, haven't had time to rebuild and test much in a couple of days. Looking at the log, the maximize problems may be fixed, too. Last time I maximized a window, I couldn't unmaximize it.

I forgot issue number 3:

3. When I'm looking youtobe or other flash video in firefox at fullscreen then screen saving (blanking) at 5 minutes (by defaults) happens. But mplayer watching at fullscreen works as usual - with no blanking at 5 minutes.

There are apps that disable the screensaver/blanking and firefox isn't one of them i think. Not sure if you can do something about this.

Things that also don't work according to the Bugtracker are renaming apps on the desktop and dragging and dropping on an app. And those are damn important things.

For item 2 as of E18 there is no non-composite mode. Composite is built in. you only have the option for hardware( Open GL ) or software.

See below quote from Cedric from the mailing list

The main difference between e17 and e18, is that e18 is always a
composite manager.
