E17 windowmanager pack. Compiled using magnificent Iguleders build scripts. Svn 62731 version.
It is one pet which has all needed. Install the pet and use Menu > Desktop > Wm switcher.
The pet includes system file changes which are needed, and it has modified /usr/sbin scripts.
No additional themes, default lookout, so it will need tweaking after install. I added couple of wallpapers, but they are in Polarpup already.
This should be good for Lucid Puppies and puplets based on it.

Otherwise I refer to existing e17 forum threads and puplet info. There is really good knowledge in this forum.

About 8 Mb.

Thanks pemansu for taking the time and trouble to compile this. Should be rather interesting to see what you got from this and his scripts! e17 is truly a gorgeous desktop environment that never gets mentioned enough... at least elsewhere that is! Wink

Thanks again for all that you do in service to the Puppy Community! We'd be MUCH poorer off without people like you here, trust me.

Cheers/Amicalement,

Hi Pemasu !
Tried your E17 pet on lucid 529. running fine so far
but gadged mixer says " no alsamixer found".
Any idea ?

I would open mixer gadget settings with right click and check that you have right sound card selected. I remember I had same problem and selecting right sound card fixed it.

Tried it on lucid 629. I get a mixed desktop which can probably be cleaned up, however to switch WM it required Ctrl>Alt>Backspace and then xwin since restart X would not work.

Reboot after installing pet is probably reguired. To change after that to e17 should work in console state by:

Being a fan now I downloaded the pet and made a sfs out of it.
Have done this for pet's before and that works well usually.
In spup 499.1 I loaded the sfs.
Went to the X prompt and started with enlightenment start.
Got messages about some 7 missing lib's, but could get them from Lucid 529.

But after getting them all, I still have a problem.
Enlightenment doesn't start.

Jim1911. That is bad. I uploaded my compile in good purpose. I have no intention to harm anyones savefiles. I am sorry about that. It can be that e17 compile is kernel sensitive, though it seems about work in Lucid 528.

Pemasu just wanted to say thanks for the upload. Ive been trying to figure out how to load e17 for days now. The alsa mixer error showed up for me too , but grabbed the alsa gui from the ppm and everythings fine now. Just wondering if there could be something in the gadget thats not working correctly.. Sorry still new to linux but im trying lol. Oh im running puppy 5.2.5. if that helps at all.

E17 in polarpup 004
I transformed the pet in sfs
In polarpup 004 I activated this enlightenment sfs and started enlightenment. I didn't get the E17 desktop.

This morning I booted polarpup and I got directly the E17 desktop. Nice.

@pemasu
Did you compiled e17 with SCALE-module and "comp module" ?
if not - Can yo add them at all ?
