After getting no output in ubuntu I decided to try Debian. So squeeze ran fine, nice bat icons and everything in the menu. But it was version 5.3.3 so bit the bullet and changed to wheezy. Excellent, 5.3.7 xtherion works fine. (Well as far as I can tell) But loch just does nothing, whether from the or opening a file. Trying the command line I get this
The program 'loch' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 2540 error_code 8 request_code 73 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Back to where I started, at least I have Aven this time, although it is not really that useable, as it flickers loads Not found any other graphics that do not work, but then I only changed over a few hours ago Andrew
