First, I followed the steps on this site:
http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/how ... 17-in.html
When that didn't work, I found this page:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install ... buntu.html
I followed the advice given by the last user to comment so far, Ian Soutar. He posted these instructions:
ENLIGHTENMENT E17 ON UBUNTU 9.04
The site http://xsm.alphagemini.org/E17/repository/
Has an excellent repository for installing Enlightenment e17 in Ubuntu 9.04
Ignore the advice about pinning … it will install perfectly. This is the ONLY method that seems to get a fully functioning E17 into Ubuntu 9.04
All that is required is to add this repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
Add the following line …
deb http://debian.alphagemini.org/ unstable main
then sudo apt-get update
then apt-get install e17 emodules-all
The install went OK and enlightenment works, BUT during the install, the Gnome Network Manager (or something like that) was disabled. I got an error prompt that said something about it not being able to continue, and I clicked "OK". I wish I could remember more clearly what went on there, but I can't.
Anyway, I rebooted and now I have no internet access in Linux. Since it was "Gnome" something that was disabled, I tried KDE just to see if the Net would work in it. Nope. I tried rebooting to an earlier kernel version -- nothing. I tried rebooting with the "recovery" option, and I chose to drop to a command prompt with networking. I know very little in the way of Linux commands, but fortunately "ping" and "tracert" worked, although I had to install traceroute. Linux told me how to do that from the command line with apt-get, which impressed the hell out of me.
Anyway, from the command line, I can ping and do a tracert to my sites (slimmingjeff.com and winningthebipolarbattle.com) with no problem, but if I boot up normally, I have no Net access at all.
Any help with this problem would be GREATLY appreciated, as right now the only thing I know to do on my own is back my data up and reinstall.
Thanks!
Jeff
P.S. The Net works fine in Winblows Vista (obviously) Oh, and in Linux I found something called the Network Manager in Startup Applications, and I removed the string "-sm -disable" (I think is what it was) from the command line. That seemed to make no difference on the next reboot.
