Hi, (yeah I'm still here, still running 10.6.8 with all security updates etc. <g>) The latest two rc's for 2.7.5 (rc3 and rc4, so far) seem to have problems here. (rc2 & before did not exhibit any of this) I use the CLI installer (/usr/sbin/installer) under a 'login root' terminal. Let me snip its log to show exactly where I think the problems stem from: > # installer -dumplog -target / -pkg /Volumes/XQuartz-2.7.5_rc4/XQuartz.pkg > […] > installer[25130]: PackageKit: Executing script "./postinstall" in > /private/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.ApMrWM/Scripts/org.macosforge.xquartz.pkg.oK4S7s > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: lockfile: Forcing lock on > "/opt/X11/var/run/font_cache.lock" > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: font_cache: Scanning system font directories > to generate X11 font caches > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: font_cache: Making fonts.dir for updated > directories. > […] > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: font_cache: Updating FC cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts: failed to write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/100dpi: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/75dpi: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/OTF: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/Speedo: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/Type1: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/cyrillic: failed to > write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/encodings: failed to > write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/encodings/large: failed > to write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/misc: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts/util: failed to write > cache > [… and hundreds more such lines, one for each subdir under the various font > paths …] > [… I've collected tons of fonts over the (long) years since 10.3-Tiger <g> …] > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /opt/X11/share/fonts: failed to write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: failed to write > cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /System/Library/Fonts: failed to write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: /Library/Fonts: failed to write cache > installer[25130]: ./postinstall: font_cache: Done > installer[25130]: PackageKit: Registered bundle > file://localhost/Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/ > installer[25130]: Installed "XQuartz 2.7.5_rc4" () > installer[25130]: PackageKit: ----- End install ----- > installer[25130]: Running install actions > installer[25130]: Removing temporary directory > "/var/folders/zz/zzzivhrRnAmviuee+++++++++++/-Tmp-//Install.251301fxWVS" > installer[25130]: Finalize disk "WhiteCat" > installer[25130]: Notifying system of updated components > installer[25130]: > installer[25130]: **** Summary Information **** > installer[25130]: Operation Elapsed time > installer[25130]: ----------------------------- > installer[25130]: disk 0.02 seconds > installer[25130]: script 0.02 seconds > installer[25130]: zero 0.02 seconds > installer[25130]: install 426.42 seconds > installer[25130]: -total- 426.48 seconds > installer[25130]: > installer: The upgrade was successful. > > # _ I'll launch XQuartz the normal way (use Finder to double-click the app icon under /Applications/Utilities). It will start up, but with an unusually long period running the various font tools (again) before it's ready for use. I will start various X11 apps in the terminal. I notice that the cli app takes another unusually long time before it shows on the screen. It is as if the system needs to "relink" the dylibs and whatnot -- but now it does this every time I start an X11 app, no matter what. Since these are mostly apps based on Glib/GTK+ (and requisites etc.), this takes a _really_ long time. Once the app is 'finished' in this realm, it seems the app will run as expected. (I have seen some awesome changes in the look of the fonts on-screen, better than the earlier XQuartz builds to be honest.) As a specific example, I start Pan up to three times -- one for each NNTP server, in different configs -- simultaneously. Each task is now taking this same long time before it is ready, every time I start one up. With 2.7.5_rc2 and before, all is fine, with the exact same setup here. I know the "relink" phase might be needed when the app is first started after such an update to XQuartz, but thereafter the app does not need another "relink" and starts up 'faster' -- even with the three Pan tasks as just mentioned. FWIW, thank you for keeping 10.6 alive in this project for us who cannot afford new hardware for upgrading the o.s. itself (I have an 'only' model iMac6,1 here [32-bit EFI/BIOS/kernel but its Core-2-Duo can run 64-bit user space], still disabled / retired, barely enough "monthly allotment" for the rent/food/etc. and some [cheap] hobbies). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSd4HuAAoJEKkeWNKet7+K6xMIAJPTxpJiefYB+ppISf82JqmV X128gYztOXYqWoy3gXQ0BnROJBM+/anLRo/lmzQaQsQiczcqYuVMtX3d3Bgm1UCP fTDi6vnSfD0m/BT5mgoz0P+51+LPxRFdSKnmlYGvwXyo6u6cKL7ptYA9mEnW2yID +JG6TItSSsUI1HfRxVmUuJR1ZLvUcWAf1sXrkLlg5Tm0xxh/2XnjHZGI5kwhoLZ+ F7Xz3vaxneCbPxIESlmhgPRF7RHoGYBq1v2He7XPRj8qNLQBipQYIsytE3ErNaOj 0hhFeSGNxYP714Hwa8x3abmo3oMY6FthLB1nrSUs5mICSKN6puP3qsY14GKxFdU= =yLHq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Xquartz-dev mailing list Xquartz-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/xquartz-dev
