Ubuntu With Enlightenment...(new errors)

**mechmaster** · 06-26-2005

I think it is, but is it possible to have enlightenment with ubuntu? I currently have GNOME and all the defaults and such. If it is, would ubuntu have everything to use enlightenment? And also after i download it, what steps would i take to make it my default WM? thanks for any help.

you should be able to install it easily with apt-get. Then just edit your .xinitrc file and remove gnome-session and replace it with the enlightenment execute command, not sure what it is but probably enlightenment

np, did it work?

**mechmaster** · 06-26-2005

as soon as i went into a reboot, i started up my ubuntu system, when it was starting the root disk or something, and it said there were errors, it went into a check and then it said something else that i didnt catch and then it went back into

Code:

root@&#40;none&#41;

and then it stoped. I had to shut down my comp after a series of failures and now it wont start at all and i get the same errors.

It was working fine not 2 hours ago. It was wierd becuase when i started it up this morning, there was an error that said that HAL or such failed to start

i do not know what this is

thanks for the help

i dont know really what i saw, so if there are any clarifications, please ask

EDIT:

i figured out what the error is, when it starts the root file system check, it slows down and the status bar comes up, when it is done, it goes into another check and then gets the

Code:

root@&#40;none&#41;

thanks again for any help!

hmm...is it the root prompt? can you issue cli commands?

**mechmaster** · 06-26-2005

i can, but it wont start ubuntu...

**genesus** · 06-26-2005

ok, if it is the cli then is it not ubunto? Have you tried startx?

**mechmaster** · 06-27-2005

ive tried startx, it wont take the command. But when it goes into root@(none), i can act as root under that. There I reboot. It also said something about remount the root partition, i did that, rebooted to no affect. Thanks for the help.
