This is an expression of ultimate hopelessness and dispair, the implication being to jump from the tower. That said Brandon gave me a huge amount of help and guidance so that at dusk with the light behind me (Gilbert Sullivan) I could almost say I like mavericks, and in particular all my macports are working correctly :-) James On Sun, Feb 16, 2014 at 8:32 AM, Landon J Fuller land...@macports.org wrote: On Feb 14, 2014, at 8:42 PM, James Linder j...@tigger.ws wrote: I don't like mavericks spaces ...

Tears and Wailing
Preamble: I had an iMac 27 running Snow Leopard with Macports - happy for years I wanted to do some android and ios stuff with Qt so I needed Qt5 which needs Mavericks I installed mavericks and all was good for a while but then eg gnome-terminal would not run I don't like mavericks spaces, their mail (thanks for comments Ryan, but it is still not right), also my linux boxen and mavericks would not play together with printing (much spelunking and CUPS fiddling). So I reinstalled snowleopard but the certificates for xcode have expired So I bit the bullet and reinstalled maverics Now: Everything worked ... I tried to (including the dbus stuff) install gnome-terminal No Error gnome-terminal wont start now NONE of the X11 things (gnuplot, xsane) will start I removed macports and all trace of macport files as per the docs I reinstalled mackports and built gnuplot, xorg-server, wget, xsane both xsane and gnuplot just hang (yes I did log out) Short of clutch dagga between teeth and climb to top of tower can anybody lend me a suggestion please. PS qt apps build and display without issue and mythfrontend works fine too. (I thought that they did use X11) James ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Why xset -b is a problem I dunno, but removing it from .profile fixed my issues with X11 not running. I have now got the XQuartz dmg, not the macports version, dunno if that is significant but all is working .profile?! That'd be bad, yes, since it's getting run as part of the setup for X server startup, and the xset causes X server startup, which runs xset, which tries to start the X server, ... see the problem? If you want to run it during X startup, create an executable script ~/.xinitrc.d/99xset.sh: #! /bin/sh xset -b -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
