Out of date!
This is the recommended way to upgrade SparkyLinux Enlightenment desktop from E17 to E18:
1. Add Sparky E18 repository – edit the file ‘sources.list’ (as root):
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Change SparkyLinux repository from:
deb http://sparkylinux.org/repo testing main
to:
deb http://sparkylinux.org/repo testing main
deb http://sparkylinux.org/repo e18 main
3. Leave Enlightenment desktop, login to an other desktop or leave graphical environment and login to a text console with keys: Alt+Control+F2 (F2-F6).
4. Remove E17 packages:
apt-get remove e17 e17-data libefreet1
apt-get autoremove
5. Install E18 packages:
apt-get update
apt-get install enlightenment terminology
If any problem, run:
apt-get install -f
6. Restart your machine:
reboot
Known bugs: the panel’s tray doesn’t work well.
Suggestion: use alternative panel (lxpanel, tint2, xfce4panel, etc.)
