XFree86 / Fink / windowmaker - problem
 

I did the following:

1. Installed the package XFree86 version 4.2.0
- download this from sourceforge.net
- created a file called path in ~/Library/init/tcsh
the path file contains this single line: set path=( $path /usr/X11R6/bin )
- did this command: cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

2. Opened XDarwin from the Applications folder
- the TWM window manager opened just fine
- exited XDarwin

3. Installed Fink version 0.3.2a
- downloaded this from fink.sourceforge.net
- created a .cshrc file in my home directory
this contains this single line: source /sw/bin/init.csh

4. Installed the package system-xfree86 (XFree86 placeholder package)
- used this fink command to do this: fink install system-xfree86
- this finished with a statement that it found a valid XFree86 installation

5. Refreshed Fink’s list of pre-compiled packages
- did this with the command: sudo apt-get update

6. Installed the package windowmaker version 0.80.0-1
- did this with the command: sudo apt-get install windowmaker
- this also created a new .xinitrc file in my home directory containing the following:

# Window Maker default X session startup script

PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"

# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /Users/djohnson/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &

exec wmaker

Now the problem:

When I open XDarwin the windowmaker’s icons never come up and I can’t do a normal quit of XDarwin. I have to do a force quit of XDarwin.

Any ideas of what is wrong?

My configuration: Beige G3 256 MB RAM OS X 10.1.2 December release of Developer's tools installed

Windowmaker...
 

After making "sudo apt-get install windowmaker"

did you run :

"wmaker.inst" (to set up the preferences files for your account.)


Cheers...

Moving thread...
 

To UNIX - General ... XFree86 and WindowMaker are not typically beginner questions.

-rob.

sao thanks for responding to my post.

In step number 6 of my initial post right after I did the command, sudo apt-get install windowmaker I did the following 2 commands:

rehash
wmaker.inst

The new .xinitrc file that I showed in step 6 was created after I did the wmaker.inst command.

Some more background information:

Back in November, I used the macosxhints solutions guide #1 titled " Installation of XFree86, Fink, Window Maker and GIMP". I followed the guide and every thing installed and worked ( thanks Rob Griffiths for the great guide ).

Last week when I discovered newer versions of XFree86, Fink, and Window Maker, I deleted my previous installation with the following commands prior to doing the steps in my initial posting:

sudo rm –rf /sw
sudo rm –rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11 /Applications/XDarwin.app

~/ .xinitrc
 

Please can you open your .xinitrc file and tell me what it says

Cheers...

sao thank you for replying to my second posting on this thread.

As stated in my second posting, the contents of my ~/.initrc file is as shown in step 6 on my first posting. I will show the contents again in this posting. The content is as follows:

# Window Maker default X session startup script

PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"

# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /Users/djohnson/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &

exec wmaker



Has anyone been able to do the combined install of the following three items ( with these exact version numbers ) ?

1. XFree86 - version 4.2.0
2. Fink – version 0.3.2a
3. Window Maker – version 0.80.0-1

XDarwin crashes
 

Sorry about your second post, was too sleepy last night.

Please do the following:

Double-click the XDarwin application again, when it crashes tell me what the error was by looking at the Console log with the Console utility in /Applications/Utilities.

Also, start from terminal by typing startx -- -quartz,

tell me what error you get in terminal

Look at the .xinitrc file in terminal with "more .xinitrc" and see if it looks exactly as the one you wrote in your post.

Let me know the results.

Cheers...

sao thank you for responding to my third posting in this thread.

When I double-click on the XDarwin application this is what is displayed in the console log:

I looked at the .xinitrc file from the terminal with the command more .xinitrc and it contains what was in my previous posting.

Again thanks for your help sao.

Well, almost all of the errors that I see are non-fatal errors according to the Fink-Troubleshooting XFree86 page :

----
"_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root "

<<Class: Harmless. X11 creates hidden directories in /tmp to store the socket "files" for local connections. For security reasons, X11 prefers if these directories are owned by root, but since they are world-writable anyway it will still run without any problems. (Note: It's quite hard to have these dirs owned by root, as Mac OS X wipes out /tmp on reboots and XDarwin doesn't run with root privileges and doesn't need to.) >>

----

"Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell."


<<Class: Mostly harmless. XDarwin 1.0a2 and later launch an interactive shell behind the scenes to run your client startup file (.xinitrc). This was done so that you don't have to add statements to set up PATH in that file. Some shells complain that they're not connected to a real terminal, but that can be ignored since that shell instance is not used for anything that requires job control or the like.>>

----

cat: /Users/djohnson/.Xauthority: No such file or directory

<<Class: Mostly harmless. It is unknown where these messages come from and they seem to have no impact on operations. You can get rid of them by running: touch .Xauthority in your home directory. >>

----

The one error, unfortunately I don't understand is:

"wmaker warning: Mod1 is being used for both Mode_switch and Alt. "

But, following the information in the same page it says:

<<Another common cause for XFree86 startup failures is an incorrect .xinitrc file. What happens is that the .xinitrc is run and for some reason terminates almost immediately. xinit interprets this as "the user's session has ended" and kills XDarwin. See the .xinitrc section for more details. Remember to set up the PATH and to have one long-lived program that is not started in the background. It is a good idea to add exec xterm as a fallback when your window manager or similar can't be found. >>


After all this information, I would do the following:

touch .Xauthority


And maybe, if I had another window manager already installed (like icewm) I would start with that one to see if it works.
(Must write it in the .xinitrc file and comment out windowmaker)

And try to start again.

Cheers...

If I change my .xinitrc file back to use the TWM window manager (the XDarwin default one), things work just fine. However as soon as I change .xinitrc back to use Window Maker, my problems return.

I did find out why I was getting the following error message:

"wmaker warning: Mod1 is being used for both Mode_switch and Alt"

When I start up XDarwin, the Window Maker icons never show up on the desk top and I can’t do a normal quit of XDarwin. I have to have to do a force quit. I opened the ProcessViewer and saw that the process wmaker was still running after I did the force quit of XDarwin. So I started XDarwin 3 times in a row doing a force quit each time. I then had 3 wmaker processes running. Using the ProcessViewer I tried to quit them, however I had to do a force quit with the ProcessViewer to quit them. I was able to then start XDarwnin with out getting the above error message. So the cause of the error message was having a wmaker process all ready active when starting XDarwin. So i will have to remember that every time i do a force quit of XDarwin that i will have to go into ProcessViewer and do a force quit there for wmaker.


I still can’t figure out why no Window Maker icons are showing when I start XDarwin and that I can’t quit it normally but have to do a force quit. However I did see the following statement at the Window Maker www page (http://www.windowmaker.org/) in the FAQ Chapter 2 area:


2.1 Why are no icons showing up after installing Window Maker?

As of WindowMaker version 0.15.0, the default setup includes .tiff icons which require you to have compiled Window Maker with libtiff support. For assistance on compiling libtiff, see the following question.


2.2 How do I make Window Maker link against libtiff?

Many UNIX operating systems have difficulty finding third party libraries by default. Unfortunately, there are too many of these to include instructions for them all.

In general, you will want to ensure the latest version of libtiff is installed (see ftp://www.libtiff.org). Typically on non-Linux systems, libtiff will be located under /usr/local, with includes and libs in those respective sub-directories.

Often, it will be necessary to add /usr/local/lib to the system's LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (especially so on Solaris, but see 'man ld' for details on your platform). Furthermore, it is possible to supply special flags to the configure script to help it find where the libraries are. An example is given below:



./configure --with-libs-from="-L/usr/local/lib" \
--with-incs-from="-I/usr/local/include"


Also, you will want to make sure you're using GNU make (gmake) for the Window Maker compile.

_____________________________________________________________

I was wondering if Fink made the Window Maker package using the above instructions or if this has noting to do with my problem. As I learn more I will post what I find out. If any one has any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

libtiff
 

Please run:

"sudo fink list"

Check if you have libtiff installed and what version.

If you don't, try then with:

"fink install libtiff"

Let me know the result.

Also, by any chance, you didn't include the current working directory in your PATH environment with "./ " ?

(it's proven to break some things, that includes building the windowmaker packages.)

Cheers...

I ran "sudo fink list" . The Version of libtiff that i have installed is 3.5.5-5

No i do not have "./" in my PATH.

The icewm works just fine so its something to do with windowmaker.

The GIMP runs fine too. So i think the Fink installation is fine.

I did do a reinstall of OS X 10.0 then 10.1 and all the updates till i got back to 10.1.2 to see if i had something wrong. I then got rid of windowmaker and reinstalled it too with no luck. I get the same problems that i talked about in the above postings.

There is something going wrong with the package XFree86 version 4.2.0 and the Fink windowmaker package version 0.80.0-1

If i do find out what is wrong with windowmaker not working, i will post more.

Windowmaker problem
 

Please, could you print a list of all what you already installed with fink ?

Cheers...

This is the list of what i have installed with Fink: ( i have to do it in 2 parts because i get a message saying my message is too long so this is part 1 0f 2.

I just learned that:

<<wmaker warning: Mod1 is being used for both Mode_switch and Alt. >>

Is not an error, just a warning.

Please, do the following:

Adjust Fink to use all of unstable by editing /sw/etc/fink.conf with pico and add unstable/main to the Trees: line.

Run "fink selfupdate" and select the CVS option

That will give you fink --version:

Package manager version: 0.9.7
Distribution version: 0.3.2a.cvs

And then "fink update-all"

Let me know.

Cheers...

Thanks for the input sao.

This is what i did:

1. Used pico to add "unstable/main to the Trees line in /sw/etc/fink.conf

Note: Even as Admin, pico would not let me save the update. I had to go to root to make the change and save it.

2. I ran "fink selfupdate* and used the CVS option.

Note: I am glad i have a cable modem - this downloaded quite a few updates and took awhile.

3. I ran "fink update-all"

Note: I had major problems with this - OS X complete froze when it got to this statement in the terminal window "checking host system type...". The cursor dispeared too and i was completely frozen. I had to do a hard re-boot from the keyboard and start up OS 9.2.2 I then ran Disk First Aid on my OS X disk ( i have OS X and OS 9 on seperate hard drives) - Disk First Aid found major problems that it could not fix. I then used DisKWarrior to rebuild my directories. Then i rebuilt my desktop on the OS X drive and then restarted with OS 9 and re-ran Disk First Aid - this time no errors were found. I then restarted with OS X. Next i went to the terminal and ran "fink update-all" again. It froze my system again at the same statement in the terminal window and i had to do another re-boot from the keyboard. I had to do the whole Disk First Aid, DiskWarrior and re-building of the OS X destop again. Like a dummy i repeated this cycle a third time. I am not going to try it again. This command freezes and locks up my system and does major disk damage. I am so glad i had DiskWarrior and was able to fix the directories.

4. At this point i didn't trust that i had a stable Fink installed, so i remove Fink and re-installed Fink, Window Maker, icewm, and the GIMP. I am back to ground zero again. The GIMP and icewm work fine. Window Maker never showes it's icons and i can't do a normal quit of XDarwin with it. I have to do a forces quit and then go to the ProcessViewer and do a force quit of Window Maker. I have no idea what is wrong.
