Wow to think I was proud of my work on fixing some of the code for modules. I went through hell in back creating the system from source.

But bvcmdk, I do detect a hint of gnome applications where installed. I really recommend to you try Evidence file manager although still in development and customization is through text. The meta tag responding to right click's of open the file with which application seems quite advance.

Oh I am....in the process of compiling many other E stuff as we speak. :woot:

I'm really digging it....finally. This is the first compiling, other than gtk-engines which doesn't count, that I've done in over a year. Got kinda burned out after years of lfs and every kernel..and hack that blinked at me. Feels good to see the text fly through the terminal again.

When I started theming gnome I was a complete graphics n00b...and still am really and was looking for something to replace the endless compiling. What only a few know is that the drive behind learning how to theme gnome was a learning base to be able to theme E17 :D . I haven't even looked into that yet, but will....and hope I can contrib to the best wm/de to be... ever, IMO. I used E16 a long time before going to gnome.

Ah thats good be sure too read all the documentation. If you're to grab Eap's from get-e.org for the ibar and such make sure you understand e_util_eapp_edit functions. although it's a gui but you're eap's are located under ~/.e/e/applications/all. many have been made for just about everything but their command structure can be invalid.

Also with the menu edits. if you made a new sub dir and it crashes using entangle. same thing applies the sub dirs get saved under the ~/.e/e/applications/entangle as static files and you see the .order which oyu can customize by hand.

Feels good tweaking once again. :)

I didn't have any problems with composite on ubuntu hoary, well except firefox couldn't handle the xorg.conf changes that were necessary, but that was/is an Xorg/nvidia/kernel issue and not related to composite.

What you see in E17 screenshots comes with E17....you can see how it is set in the menu on my screenshot. Sweet! My E17 is from the current cvs. I have needed to restart E from the "restart E" crash dialog a few times today and the evidence file manager has crashed a few times but no biggy...I haven't had any freezes or had to restart X or anything major today.

Yeah, I installed the xcomp in the Ubuntu repositories. Looks like it's dated 2004 but everything seems to run alright, not super crashy like the last time I tried it. Still a few minor bugs though. The screenshot doesn't do it justice with all the pretty fading an stuff.

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
