Hi,
I came accross a certain "behaviour" of my Linux I cannot explain
and I would like to change if possible,
I use Icewm and X.org as desktop environment.
Ending my work with a command like
sudo halt
from a terminal window results in no problem at all.
But:
When I do something like:
aunpack mysourceproject.tar.7z; cd mysourceproject; \
./configure && make && make install; sudo halt
switch off my monitor and go to sleep, cause this will run for an
hour, and start my box next morning again, all fonts, which are
defined via xorg.conf are displayed in a very tine shape. Not affected
are fonts used by mutt/vim/mrxvt and other "text-only" applications.
I have to do a
fc-cache
as root, restart Icewm/X and the problem is fixed.
But what is the reason for this?
And what is the difference between doing a
sudo halt
while sitting in front of my monitor and doing a
sudo halt
unattended in a kind of batch job?
What is the correct place to define a custom command to
run on every system start (fc-cache in this case)?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards
mcc
