Comments on How to install the Enlightenment E20 Desktop on Ubuntu 15.10
The new Enlightenment E20 Desktop has just been released. The Enlightenment project consists of the Enlightenment Window manager (which was started in 1996), the EFL library that contains graphic, widget, network, and other basic desktop functions and some applications that are based on EFL like a terminal emulator, a video player, and an IDE. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install the E20 Desktop on the current Ubuntu 15.10.

While I'm impressed this desktop is still alive and kicking, the last time I tried it (a couple months back) I was really not impressed. It was trying way too hard to be Mac OS X.
I realize you're probably not the E20 helpdesk, however, I went from having e17 running while trying to install e20 (bad idea...yeah I goofed)...after logging out and back into default window manager, uninstalling stuff and fighting dependencies (but all in apt-get), I managed to get e20 installed cleanly, however, when trying to start it, I'm getting a linkage error against libelementary.s0.1 -> eo_constructor.
Any idea?
I also get the same error.
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libelementary.so.1: undefined symbol: eo_constructor
It's less a desktop environment and more of a widgets environment. People are unaccustomed to different, problem is booting into ED is like booting yourself into a Lego plant. The building blocks are there you just need to assemble the pieces, alternatively you could just download a theme after booting into ED. Seriously its not rocket science!
