The main difference is that the one running as root is using the
config file /Users/dud/xorg.conf.hdboot, and the other one isn't.

My hypothesis is that if you move this file to
/System/Settings/X11/xorg.conf (possibly storing it at
/Programs/Xorg-App/Settings/X11 and then symlinking it there for
organizational purposes), running as user will work the same as
running as root.

To help me debug the problem with the PowerTOP task, could you give me
the output of running this command?

   cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product

Thank you!

I performed this operation.

Still cannot get X to run as an ordinary user.

Xorg.0.log files for success as root, and failure as user can be found here:

http://www.dudley.nu/GoboLinux/Xorg.0.log-as-root

http://www.dudley.nu/GoboLinux/Xorg.0.log-as-user

The failure as user log includes the complaint that /dev/dri/card0 does not
exist.
It still doesn't exist when root runs X, but then it doesn't seem to matter.

At least the bloody keyboard works now.

Also, I put "Exec "get DHCP address..." dhcpcd eth1" in BootUp and now
networking
starts when the machine boots.  Amazing!

Actually, the config is in $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua

[gobolinux-users] Perl-* recipes replaced by "CPAN:" dependency

2016-12-24 Thread Hisham Muhammad 
Hi,

As the title says, all 151 Perl-* recipes were removed from the recipe
store. All other recipes that depended on them in their latest
versions (and there were not many; 18 in Dependencies and 8 in
BuildDependencies) were modified to depend on CPAN: equivalents: every
dependency of the form Perl-Foo-Bar was changed to CPAN:Foo::Bar,
using the Aliens infrastructure.

Support for recipe_type=perl was removed from Compile git, and
RecipeLint was modified to complain accordingly.

Next, I will remove Lua-* recipes, to use LuaRocks instead. These two
will go first because their /System/Aliens infrastructure is already
in use in Gobo 016.

Python-* and Haskell-* will be next.

keyboard fix worked:

Edit /System/Settings/BootScripts/BootUp and comment out the line that says

   Exec "Configuring power settings..." PowerTOP Start

Have not tried the other fix, still cannot run X as an ordinary user.

Thanks,
