Debian Testing with e17, a very configurable desktop

Hi friends of desdelinux, based on the fact that many users asked me for opinions and configuration of a fairly popular environment in recent times, I have decided to make a post about it and as the title indicates it is about illumination 17 or rather known as e17. It is a window manager as they are for example open box but being quite complete, it is considered rather a very light, beautiful and stable graphical environment.

In this post we are going to do the configuration on Debian Testing...

As always, first of all we are going to see some images:

Let's get to it 😀:

Download Debian Jessie / Testing:

Netinstall images:

32 bits

64 bits

DVD Images:

32 bits

64 bits

System installation:

We will burn the image to a cd and if we use the netinstall image we preferably connect our pc to a wired network and restart.

During the Debian installation this screen appears:

On this screen we have to uncheck the box «Desktop environment» ... How? With the space bar.

Once they uncheck it, press the enter key and continue with the installation.

We install grub and once it is finished we will remove the installation cd and restart the system.

Modify repositories:

su
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and leave the content as follows:

deb http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb http: // security .debian.org / jessie / updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie / updates main contrib non-free # jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http: // ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

Save the document with the key combination CTRL + O and CTRL + X

Update repositories and system:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade


Install the graphics and audio server:

apt-get install alsa-utils gamin xorg xserver-xorg

Install lightdm and synaptic:

apt-get install lightdm synaptic

Install environment E17:

apt-get install e17

Install the essentials:

apt-get install wicd leafpad lxterminal

Install basic programs:

apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin flashplugin-nonfree clamtk evince gdebi mc gimp gtk2-engines-murrine gufw icedove icedove-l10n-es-es iceweasel iceweasel-l10n-es-es libreoffice libreoffice-gtk libreoffice-help-es rar unrar qt4-qtconfig vlc build-essential dkms system-config-printer simple-scan gnome-calculator gvfs-backends ristretto


apt-get install file-roller --no-install-recommends

Optional programs:

apt-get install filezilla pitivi transmageddon htop

And that's it, they already have a fully functional e17 on your Debian :).
Enjoy it and don't forget to comment ...
