RE: FVWM: new fvwm-perllib
HI The perllib version gives: linux:~ # fvwm-perllib --version 2.5.5 When I run from the fvwmconsole: FvwmDebug -l logfile then in the logfile I see entries like M_FOCUS_CHANGE etc. When I then try to run the module, nothing happens and no extra entries apppear. I noticed one strange thing: I tried to run a non-existing module to see if an error message appears when the module is not found, but this does not happen. I.e. when I enter in the fvwmconsole module /home/jos/nonexistingmodule then no error message appears on the console. On the other hand, when I type module nonexistingmodule then an errormessage does appear, saying that the module is not found in the module path. Now I just tried to run the module from the commandline. Then I see this: linux:/usr/local/src/fvwmperl # perl module-gtkwinlist FvwmPerlGtkWinList should be spawned by fvwm normally. Activating a dummy command line mode for 30 minutes (no events). and a gtk window appears, but the buttons are not functional and no windows appear in the windowlist. I hope this helps, jos -Original Message- From: Mikhael Goikhman To: Riswick, J.G.A. van Cc: FVWM Sent: 11/9/2002 5:26 AM Subject: Re: FVWM: new fvwm-perllib ng wrong? I am not sure how this may happen. Do you have a correct fvwm-perllib in $PATH? Run: fvwm-perllib --version Does FvwmDebug and FvwmGtkDebug work for you? If you run the test modules from the shell command line do you enter the dumb module mode without errors? Press Ctrl-C.

So you only see what happens in FvwmConsole (can I ask you to name FvwmConsole as FvwmConsole and not console?). The error execution of module /home/jos/nonexistingmodule failed appears in the same place you have all X output (including FvwmDebug). Now I just tried to run the module from the commandline. Then I see this: linux:/usr/local/src/fvwmperl # perl module-gtkwinlist FvwmPerlGtkWinList should be spawned by fvwm normally. Activating a dummy command line mode for 30 minutes (no events). and a gtk window appears, but the buttons are not functional and no windows appear in the windowlist. I hope this helps, Not quite. If it works from the command line, the problem should be in the communication code, but if you say FvwmDebug works, I don't know. Is it possible that only GTK based modules do not work? Please continue to debug the problem and find where your errors are. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

RE: FVWM: new fvwm-perllib
Sorry I meant that when I try to run a non-existing module with full path specified from the FvwmConsole, then no error message appears on the FvwmConsole eg: module /home/jos/nonexistingmodule. When I try module nonexistingmodule then an errormessage saying that the module is not found in the path appears on the FvwmConsole. Both types of modules don't work (gtk and non-gtk)... I'll try and look further.. jos -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

RE: FVWM: new fvwm-perllib
HI I checked the x output using fvwm2 err and it turned out that the problem was that the module files were not 'chmod +x': [FVWM][executeModule]: ERROR Execution of module failed: /usr/local/src/fvwmperl/module-gtkwinlist Permission denied Sorry for that. jos -Original Message- From: Mikhael Goikhman To: Riswick, J.G.A. van Cc: FVWM Sent: 11/9/2002 5:26 AM Subject: Re: FVWM: new fvwm-perllib If you run the test modules from the shell command line do you enter the dumb module mode without errors?
