This simple tutorial shows how to install the last Enlightenment desktop 0.26.0 in Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04, and Ubuntu 23.10 via PPA.
Enlightenment announced 0.26.0 release almost a month ago. There’s however no easy way to install it in Ubuntu, besides building from the source.
To make life easier, I’ve built the package into this unofficial PPA. So, you can easily try it out in Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, and/or Ubuntu 23.10.
Changes in Enlightenment 0.26.0 include:
The packages in PPA are backported from Debian Unstable and Ubuntu 24.04 (both built with same rules). The only change is disable jpeg-xl
support since the dependency library is not available in current system repository.
And, the PPA and package are named ‘e17
‘, because it’s in use in Debian and Ubuntu system repository.
1. First, press Ctrl+Alt+T
on keyboard to open terminal. When terminal opens, run command to add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/e17
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.
2. Linux Mint user needs to manually refresh system package cache, though it done automatically while adding PPA in Ubuntu since 20.04.
sudo apt update
3. Finally, either install E26 by running command:
sudo apt install enlightenment
Or, just upgrade all the packages if you have old E23 or E25 installed:
sudo apt upgrade
When done successfully installed the packages, log out and select back in with “Enlightenment
” session.
If you want to downgrade Enlightenment to the stock version in system repository, run command to purge the PPA:
sudo apt install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/e17
To completely uninstall the desktop packages, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command:
sudo apt remove --autoremove enlightenment-data libeina1a libelementary-data
Also remove the Ubuntu PPA by running command:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/e17
