E17 wouldn't load

**missingfaktor** · 30-Sep-2012, 06:24

I am using openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 KDE edition.

I downloaded E17 from software.opensuse.org, installed it with one click install, logged out, and tried logging in to E17. It takes me to a green geeko wallpaper with a cursor and nothing else. I can move cursor around but left-click, right-click, or anything else doesn't work. I even tried rebooting the system, but it still isn't helping. Do I need to install any extra packages? Or is there some other problem?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

So I have not tried to make this work myself and not sure what you get loaded from the 1-Click option. I find there is a repository for it here: "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Enlightenment:/Nightly/openSUSE_12.2/" and it says you need the prerequisites:

Recommended requirements for all releases to the right are:

libc
libpthread
zlib
freetype
fontconfig
fribidi (If you want BiDi support)
harfbuzz (If you want complex text shaping support)
opengl2.0/opengles-2 (depending on target)
libpng
libjpeg
libtiff
libgif
librsvg (if you want SVG support in Evas)
libx11
libxext
libxrender
libxcomposite
libxdamage
libxfixes
libxrandr
libxinerama
libxss
libxtest
libxdpms
libxcursor
libxprint
libxcb
libxcb-shape
openssl
curl
libudev
lua5.1 (not 5.0, not 5.2)

Not sure, but until its built-in to the openSUSE distro, you may be kind of on your own here. Their Website is here: Enlightenment - About

Thank You,

Thank you for your response!

I checked in YaST software management and saw E17 was there in patterns and it had a checkbox in front of it. I don't know if this indicates dependencies are installed or not, but I am just noting it in case it helps the diagnosis.

I tried installing the said libraries. Most do not seem to be found. What do I need to do?

Here is the console log:

I did the 1-click install of E17 from the above repository;
there was no issue at all for me. I am writing from E17 now.

So, I guess something is amiss on your end. Maybe, the dependencies
for the E17 are not set properly.

Anyway, exactly what package from which repository for which opeSUSE
version did you download?

I don't think I can help you, but others may, with information
you provide.

Thank you for your response. It was this one - https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...ly&package=e17.
