Firefox 16, a treat for developers http://t.co/cnd27CzT
Install Enlightenment E17 in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic koala
Enlightenment, also known simply as E, is a stacking window manager for the X Window System which can be used alone or in conjunction with a desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE. Enlightenment is also a whole suite of libraries to help you create beautiful user interfaces with much less work than doing it the old fashioned way and fighting with traditional toolkits, not to mention a traditional window manager. It covers uses from small mobile devices like phones all the way to powerful multi-core desktops.
The latest stable version of Enlightenmen is E16. The actual development Release 17 of the Enlightenment window manager represents an evolution into the next generation of desktop environments:
The desktop shell. DR17 will provide integration between files and your environment in a seamless manner while encompassing a graphically rich and flexible architecture. It will not compete with GNOME or KDE, but be a completely new way of visualizing your desktop, based around the EFL which was built from the ground up for this task.”
Install Enlightenment on Ubuntu
1- Add repositories :
a- First open the sources.list and add the repositories :
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
- For Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala :
Add this line at the end of the sources.list
deb http://packages.enlightenment.org/ubuntu karmic main extras
There is another repository for karmic but doesen`t contain the e17 package yet(I tried to install e17 and i get just the message no package was found), if you want to install e16 version on ubuntu karmic you can use this ppa :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:e17-packaging/ppa
- For Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty jackalope :
add these 2 lines to the end of the list :
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/e17-packaging/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/e17-packaging/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
2- Add the verification Key :
wget http://packages.enlightenment.org/repo.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
3- Now refresh and install :
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install e17 xorg
Install software (Thanks to kappa962):
sudo apt-get install wicd lxterminal gnome-icon-theme mousepad emodule-places emodule-tclock
emodule-calendar unrar rar xarchiver gpicview
sudo apt-get install firefox thunar vlc -R
xorg and e17 are, obviously, the essential packages for this installation.
Install ecomorph-e17 instead of e17 for the compiz eye candy.
wicd for network/wifi management. I would use exalt (package name:emodule-exalt), but I can’t get it to work. At all.
lxterminal as a lightweight terminal program that is significantly better than xterm
mousepad : Is for a full-featured, lightweight text editor. scite and Leafpad are two other options
gnome-icon-theme : Is necesary in order for the icons in the menus and in Thunar to look right.
xarchiver is a nice, lightweight program for working with compressed files; rar and unrar are needed for it to work properly
gpicview is a nice, lightweight picture viewer
emodule-places, emodule-tclock, and emodule-calendar are just three extra emodules that I really like to use.
The -R option is important for Firefox. Otherwise it installs piles and piles of gnome-related packages. Another,
thunar is my choice for a full-featured, lightweight file manager
vlc is, of course, the standard linux media player
Modify this list to suit your needs. Other packages you might want to install:
abiword: lightweight word processor. It’s still a pretty bulky program, so consider using the -R option with aptitude, which will cut the installed size in half.
galculator: basic calculator program.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
