AltME: Syllable

Messages

Kaj: 19:24On the other hand, I've just spent the equivalent of a full work week just to get the legacy fonts in X that R2/View needs
Arnold: 19:27Depends on how much time it took you to do it.
Kaj: 19:28The equivalent of a full work week

19:28That means three days for me

Kaj: 01:02I've got the Enlightenment stack running on X now, up to the widget set

01:04That was a lot easier than View. It's currently a very minimal X configuration
Kaj: 20:47I've got GTK 2 built from source running on X now, but GTK 3 bombs out

Kaj: 13:54Now I've got Qt running on X. That didn't work in the GoboLinux mix

13:56I already had Qt running before in embedded mode on the Linux framebuffer

Kaj: 23:05I've set up a new wiki for Syllable, running on Fossil:

Kaj: 10:39For those who have been clamouring for a Syllable installation video in the past, we finally made one, on our SylCon summer conference yesterday:

AdrianS: 21:22Kaj, do you happen to have a VMware image for version 0.6.7? I only saw 0.6.6 posted.

21:24btw, is the Enlightenment engine part of the latest binaries now?
Kaj: 22:20No, we haven't had time to make emulator images for 0.6.7 yet. The Enlightenment port isn't published in binary yet, but you could compile it with the Syllable build system

AdrianS: 01:50Are there some known graphics problems running under VMware? I had the browser showing Google and wikipedia for a while, but then it wouldn't update itself anymore. I also couldn't quit the browser. I have the hardware compatibility set to 6 as per instructions.
AdrianS: 02:01now I can't shutdown - need to pull the plug on the VM
AdrianS: 02:18this is with 0.6.7, btw - installed it under Workstation 9.0
Kaj: 13:13VMware always worked best in the past, but since emulators do very low level things, one can never be sure how a new version behaves

13:16We haven't had your precise report about VMware, but it's quite possible that those symptoms are just general Syllable behaviour. The browser uses the WebKit engine, but it's an older version and the integration is incomplete. Many of the more complex web sites can hang the browser, and in those cases, Syllable can't close the browser and hangs on it when shutting down
