Ticket #2086 (Installation instructions ubuntu errors) created

$
0
0

Several errors in the Ubuntu install instructions for the latest E17 release:

tar zxf enlightenment-0.17.0.tar.gz cd enlightenment-0.17.0

Should be

tar zxf enlightenment-0.17.0-omega.tar.gz cd enlightenment-0.17.0-omega

Also:

sed 's:exit 0:(sleep 9;/usr/local/sbin/connmand) \&\nexit 0:g' /etc/rc.local > /tmp/tf;

results in a corrupted /etc/rc.local because the word 'exit' is listed earlier in the file. No network at all after that until you correct manually.

And:

After install the connman does NOT get DHCP setting for DNS for the eth interface and defaults to 127.0.0.1, effectively killing ones internet connection. And since your instructions killed network-manager, it is not impossible for a novice to connect to internet. An edit of /etc/resolv.conf is required to put it in manually.

And finally:

The installed enlightenment does NOT contain Econnman, again blocking you from doing network settings. The network control applet does not allow you to start it. In fact, almost NONE of my installed applications work in the dark-and-dreary look of enlightenment. (for heaven's sake, stop being so black-themed out of the box) Wine is a complete no-no. I applaud your initiative, graphics are great, cross platform is fabulous, but overall completion is well below par. Getting something simple like the install instructions wrong is dreadful. (and takes forever; I have a monster machine and was still busy for over 20 minutes - Never heard of a Repo?)
