Alias to startx if you want. > alias xenodm='doas xenodm -config /home/myusername/xenodm-config' Hm. Thank you. This works, except the environment in which I run xenodm is lost. For example, I have ENV=~/.kshrc in my ~/.profile, but this isn't inherited to X11 ... I guess I should add these things to my .xsession, but then I'll have it in two places instead of once. > Only thing I never figured out is how to make X and xenodm shutdown when I > exit my window manager. This too makes me feel like xenodm is far too complex for what I want.
Use xenodm like startx?
Hi, I just got OpenBSD installed on my new laptop, and so far, it works great. But since I applied the latest X11 patch, I can no longer use startx to launch X11, unless I do it as root, which probably isn’t a good idea. Seems like I have to use xenodm. The thing is, xenodm is so complicated in comparison to a simple .xinitrc + startx. There are so many files I need to set up that I hardly know where to begin. I don’t want a login screen, I don’t want X11 to launch at startup. I just want to start X manually from a simple .xinitrc. Surely I can’t be alone. Any ideas or tips? Best regards John

Missing libraries after upgrade to 6.4
Hello all, I have this port [1] that installed fine on 6.3, but after I upgraded to 6.4, following the FAQ, I'm getting weird errors. When running make install, it fails because qtbase-5.9.4 can't be installed, which is weird that it wants to do, because the version in ports is 5.9.6p1. Here's the output: http://sprunge.us/z6d97h When I try to run make rebuild, it complains about missing libraries for Qt5 stuff: http://sprunge.us/oEDaKE Some proof that I've actually upgraded: $ uname -a OpenBSD lbsd.home 6.4 GENERIC.MP#364 amd64 $ cd /usr/ports; cvs status Makefile [...] Sticky Tag: OPENBSD_6_4 (branch: 1.77.2) [...] Anybody got any idea as to what's going on?

Re: phonetic alphabet on OpenBSD
Jan Stary wrote: Are there any phoneticians running on OpenBSD? How do you type the phonetic alphabet in vim? Is there a standard keyboard layout for the English part of IPA? It wouldn't be too difficult to create one. I found this on DuckDuckGo via the search query "ipa xkb layout": http://www.ajmakkas.com/pages/c_xkbipa.html You could add that to /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and use setxkbmap to switch to it. I would assign a key binding to it in my window manager. If you use a desktop environment like GNOME, you might want to edit ../rules/evdev.xml in order to be able to find the keyboard layout in the graphical keyboard preferences. Here's another good resource on X11 keyboard layouts in general: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/Blog/custom-keyboard-in-linuxx11 Best regards, John

The code looks interesting. To be honest, I'm not sure if this is correct. I only like OpenBSD, That's why I'm so sorry if they're wrong It might be interesting to take a look at the source of mksh[1], another ksh implementation, which has a similar binding called evaluate-region.

I think it is not going to work too well if for loop is being echoed, and other such things, so perhaps quoting a command and echoing would do the job. This will break any non-trivial construct including pipes, command lists, loops, (nested) quoting, et al. To which message is this a response? It seems I haven't received it, but I'd like to read it.

No. That's too bad. bash provides this via shell-expand-line (bound to Ctrl-Alt-e by default), From bash(1): shell-expand-line (M-C-e) Expand the line as the shell does. This performs alias and history expansion as well as all of the shell word expansions. And yet, it disregards quoting and will errornously expand the following example into multiple words instead of one: bash-4.4$ echo "$(echo a b)" bash-4.4$ echo a b There is a discussion about this behavior on the bug-bash mailing list: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2016-11/msg00010.html Turns out to be a relatively simple fix, but the old behavior will remain the default (as of 2016). and ksh seems to have expand-file, but that only works for filenames. We have no other expanding functions. Would there be any interest among the pdksh developers in a function like shell-expand-line (but which works properly), if somebody like me did the work?

x, c and v misbehaving in GTK applications
Hello all! I'm having this weird issue on OpenBSD 6.3. In some GTK applications -- so far only in Evolution and Chromium, but not Firefox or SeaMonkey -- the letters x, c and v have stopped working in some text fields. Instead of entering the letters, it's as if Control is pressed and they perform Cut, Copy and Paste. Has anybody experienced anything similar? Any idea what the problem might be? I'm fairly new to OpenBSD and its mailing lists. Is this the appropriate place to discuss this, or should I report the bug somewhere else? If so, where? Much thanks, John
