Re: dbus problem
On 10/24/05, Dennis J Perkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've found that gdm doesn't call .xinitrc for some reason, so dbus-launch never runs. This is true, gdm does not behave the same way as issuing startx from the console. But you can get it to do what you want. I have dbus running right now from gdm. This is what I can gather about how gdm starts up, but have a look at the documentation for a fuller discussion http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/gdm.html. Almost everything resides in /etc/gnome/gdm, and the rest resides in $GNOME_PREFIX/share/gdm and $GNOME_PREFIX/share/xsessions. The main difference here between what you want, is that gdm (and xdm I think) are starting an Xsession. You can make it do the same thing. gdm starts up after running the Default script in /etc/gnome/gdm/Init. Then the user authenticates. It runs the Default script in /etc/gnome/gdm/PreSession. Then it runs the /etc/gnome/gdm/Xsession script. Then it runs /etc/gnome/gdm/PostLogin/Default. You don't need to touch any of the Init/Pre/Post scripts, but Xsession is the crux, and where you do most of the customization. Xsession initializes /etc/profile, loads system and user Xresources, keyboard setup, etc. This is where you put stuff you want to run when the session is going. I have beagle, and it has a user run daemon, beagled. I kick this off in Xsession and it runs along until I log out. You could run an xterm or xclock or whatever. I just added this (way more than necessary): # Run beagled if it's available beagledaemon=`gdmwhich beagled` if [ -n $beagledaemon ] [ -x $beagledaemon ]; then echo $0: Starting beagle daemon: $beagledaemon beagled fi This has to go before the eval exec $command statement. That statement is the main session manager. $command is parsed from one of two files on the base installation. If you selected Default session, it uses the file $GNOME_PREFIX/share/gdm/BuiltInSessions/default.desktop. If you selected Gnome session, the file is $GNOME_PREFIX/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop. $command is what is on the Exec= line in *.desktop. By default, this says Exec=gnome-session for gnome.desktop. To make this use dbus, change it to Exec=dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session gnome-session. Now gdm runs the same way that my .xinitrc file does. There's also a way to have a Custom session with ~/.xsession, but I haven't bothered with that yet. One last thing. $GNOME_PREFIX/share/xsessions is also where you would put any other sessions you might want like kde or xfce. This directory is SessionDesktopDir in gdm.conf. Sorry about being long-winded, but I thought it would be most helpful if I explained the whole process as best as I understand it instead of just saying change this line in file blah. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Question about libc5 libc6 incompatibility
Recently, Somebody Somewhere wrote these words I was just wondering: have I said something wrong in my previous post in this thread? Why no answers from anyone in ten days? Ok. Take as much from the list below as fits. /begin nag This list works by people volunteering personal time to help others with their problems. Nobody _owes_ you an answer. The idea is, you contribute, and garner some goodwill, so people will then contribute to help you when you are stuck. It's personal time they are contri8buting. People don't bother when 1. Your question is clearly answered in lfs documentation (book, FAQ). 2. You are making many queries, and then demand of those who reply that they should make things work with minimal effort on your part. In effect, you are not making as much effort to solve your problems as you want others to do for you. It's called ungratefulness. 3. Even the most elementary search with google would solve your problems immediately. Try libc5 libc6 compatability as a google for instance on this current problem. It's called laziness. 4. You are doing nothing for anyone else. All take, but no give. It's called selfishness. 5. You don't provide the information necessary to solve your problems and people have to extract it from you by queries. You don't mention what you have tried, or else you tried nothing. /end nag If anything fitted, that's what you did wrong. -- With best Regards, Declan Moriarty. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: Printing or postscript problem.
Hi You can do the same thing in cups with lpadmin -p jerrypc -m laserjet.ppd.gz -v socket://[ip_address]. The only trick is finding the correct ppd for your printer. The conversion problem is pretty much the same for cups or lprng. Cheers for your reply jerry. But I think my issue is with the conversion, NOT with the network link to the printer! The ppd that I was using on lfs was newer than the ppd that I had installed on slackware, so I might try using the older version and see what happens.

Printing or postscript problem - Solved
Hi again I had this with a canon bjc4000. Everyone told me I had the wrong ppd file. I never solved it. I was printing locally, so I had other options. I went away and never came back. Well, in my case it was the 'wrong' ppd file that was the issue. I noticed that on Slackware (where everything works well) the ppd was an older version, so I tried again with cups using the older one and hey presto, it worked! I don't know why new ppd which comes straight from the manufacturer's web site didn't work, but there you are ',8o|. So, my thanks again for your time; and my apologies that the question had such a simple solution which I should have thought to try before bothering you all.
