Windowmaker crash after install

junior · 09-17-2003, 07:51 AM

Hello,

I have just installed Windowmaker, after setup completed I loaded X11 and got this error:

"The application menu could not be loaded. Look at the console output for a detailed description of the errors"

This is the crash.log:
XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Any ideas/suggestions?

Note: X11 runs fine with quartz-wm

junior,

Please, more info:

sw_vers

Which version of Apple's X11?

How did you installed windowmaker and which version?

junior · 09-17-2003, 08:41 AM

Versions:
1. X11 Beta 3 - XFree86 4.2.1
2. Windowmaker version 0.80.1 , installed today using Fink "sudo apt-get install windowmaker"

sao · 09-17-2003, 09:12 AM

junior,

Run in terminal.app the command:

wmaker.inst

this command will create and set up automatically the .xinitrc file in your home directory to use windowmaker, and also will create a bunch of subdirectories for user customization purposes.

For more info on windowmaker, you will find a lot of documentation in /sw/share/doc/windowmaker/

Also, if you want to know what files fink installed, then run in terminal.app:

dpkg -L windowmaker

junior · 09-18-2003, 04:17 AM

I have tried all your suggestions with no luck. still get these errors.

Is there another stable Window Manager I can use?

Thx for all the help!

sao · 09-18-2003, 08:00 AM

junior,

Please, post a copy of your ~/.xinitrc file.

junior · 09-18-2003, 08:22 AM

my .xinitrx:

# 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/asaf/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &

#exec quartz-wm
exec wmaker

sao · 09-18-2003, 10:53 AM

junior,

Try the following:

You should "source init.sh" right at the beginning of your ~/.xinitrc file to make sure the environment is set up correctly:

Code:

# Window Maker default X session startup script
 
source /sw/bin/init.sh

#PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"
 
# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /Users/asaf/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &
 
#exec quartz-wm
exec wmaker

Then start Apple's X11 and see if it works now with windowmaker.

Also, please post the result of:

% echo $PATH

and

% fink list -i xfree86

junior · 09-18-2003, 12:00 PM

Tried with no luck

Result of echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

junior,

Never seen your error message before. Let's dig a little more. Please, run in terminal.app and post the result of:

fink -V

fink list -i system-xfree86

junior,

Wow, it seems you haven't installed Fink's 'system-xfree86'.

To work with Apple's X11 and Fink, you need to install the Fink package 'system-xfree86', version 4.2-11 or higher. ( Is just a necessary placeholder package that Fink uses to "recognize" your Apple's X11 installation)

To install it, run the following commands in terminal.app or using FinkCommander:

For a binary install:

'sudo apt-get update'
'sudo apt-get install system-xfree86'

junior · 09-20-2003, 02:21 AM

It appears I also missing the SDK... this is what I get
after sudo apt-get install system-xfree86, going to look for the SDK now, I'll update you...

It appears you have a partially-installed version of the Apple X11

main X11 installer, as well as the SDK (there are actually 2 separate
downloads for the Apple X11 release). Please go to
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/ and download and install the missing
files, and re-attempt your install of system-xfree86.

Junior,

Yes, you also need to install Apple's SDK.

There is a lot of info on this forum on what you need to install to work with Apple's X11 and Fink.

Next time, I suggest you do your homework.

junior · 09-21-2003, 03:15 AM

Sao,

Thank you very much for your help!

I've uninstalled X11, X11 SDK, Fink and Windowmaker.

Reinstall everything correctly and now I have X11 with Windowmaker working like a charm.

Thanks much for the great help!!!

junior,

Glad you got it working!
