Hiya - I'm trying to get a working X windows system on my PowerBook, but I'm having problems getting it started.
My setup: 10.2.1, Package manager version: 0.10.0.cvs, Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs, XDarwin 1.1. I installed the xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless packages, then the windowmaker package. I ran the wmaker.inst script to set up my GNUstep directory and .xinitrc, and fired up XDarwin.app. But XDarwin quits immediately after asking me if I want rootless or not. This is a dump from Console.app: > 2002-10-04 17:31:56.932 XDarwin[16556] > XDarwin 1.1 > > XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System > (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) > Release Date: 11 March 2002 > If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is > newer than the above date, look for a newer version before > reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) > Operating System: Darwin > Using keymapping provided in /System/Library/Keyboards/USA.keymapping. > _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root > Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). > Thus no job control in this shell. > TERM_PROGRAM: Undefined variable. > /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/startXClients: > /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: Permission denied > /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/startXClients: exec: > /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: cannot execute: Undefined error: 0 > 2002-10-04 17:31:57.339 XDarwin[16556] X client process terminated > with status 126. > Display mode: Rootless Quartz > Screen 0 added: 1152x747 @ (0,21) > Screen 0 placed at X11 coordinate (0,0). > Quitting XDarwin... Reading through the FAQ and X11 docs on the fink site I saw that the 'no access to tty' error is harmless, but I'm unsure about the 'TERM_PROGRAM: Undefined variable' and the two '/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit' messages. I checked the permissions on xinit: > % ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit > -rw-r--r-- 1 root unknown 19808 Sep 13 23:44 /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit It seems I don't have execute permission - but I'm reticent to go changing permissions on root owned files put there by fink. Could this be the cause of the errors? I couldn't find any mention of this error in the fink docs, or on the XDarwin forums. Has anyone else had the same troubles? Any help is most welcome - I'd like to get this working before the deadlines roll around! Many thanks, Henry. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
