Desktop Enlightment

Desktop Enlightment

Hi Guixers,

I have got the desktop Enlightment installed

There are again and again certain problems.
It seems to me that Enlightment isn't well developed yet.

E.g.because of a second monitor which I connected to the laptop.
Other problems I have already forgotten, because I haven't used it 
therefore.

Now I can't open the package "MuseScore". It can't find the right path.

Is there somebody who is using Enlightment?

Have you got also sometimes problems?


Kind regards

Gottfried

There is a complaint against Enlightenment (and EFL) that they overuse
void pointers to swallow errors, so it's hard to squash bugs.

I haven't tried hooking up a second monitor yet. There is a popup about
no ACPI program/daemon running when enlightenment first starts but it's
been working well enough for me despite that for several years.

I don't use musescore, but I was able to launch it without problems.

I find that it does sometimes crash on me and cause me to reopen
windows. It happens mostly with nheko and with flatpaks. I've apparently
been using Enlightenment on Guix System since early 2018 so I've
probably learned to ignore any issues that still exist.

I have got the same message, every time I start enlightment.
But I ignored it, because after informing myself about ACPI it's not 
important.

thanks for informing us.
