I'm getting massive errors
I have no idea what i did all i did was installed my nvidia drivers through the generic kernel and then added composite to my lilo.conf for transparency and i get these errors everytime i logout of X
I use xfce Code:
** (xfwm4:3781): WARNING **: Compositing manager disabled. |
can someone help me please?

Did you check, and I'm using slack 9.1 -- I'm assuming there might be a change, however, look at the log file for Xfree or Xorg, which ever, in /var/log see if there are any reports of loading errors.
I have to tell you...on my old system, I get exit errors all the time about resources etc and it's not had any ill effect....however, try checking those logs first.... ken |

By the way, I don't understand why there is a need to edit lilo.conf? You should be editing xorg.conf. |
Sorry i meant xorg.conf
i dunno why i said lilo i am wondering if anyone else gets this error because i get it everytime after a fresh install i have installed 4 times today and i really want to use slackware but this is too frustrating Does anyone else get this same error? It seems to be only affecting xfce |
Is this error actually affecting anything? You say you get an error when you log out. Does it actually do anything? I get the "waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE
"/usr/share/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing." error all the time (it is pretty normal -- I got it using Slackware 11.0 too) and it doesn't affect anything. As for the XFCE errors, I use KDE (I used to use XFCE on my older, slower PC but I don't remember if there were errors or not). Again, do they prevent you from doing anything at all or are they just annoying you? If it is the latter, well, live with it -- there's no point hunting down errors that don't actually do anything. ;) |
mine just started doing something like that not too long ago.
if i ctrl+alt+F1 right now it just keeps scrolling: ERROR ERROR ERROR etc... i havent noticed any problems so i really havent gotten to figuring it out yet though. |
I think these errors are 'normal', most of the time they're invisible. If I open netscape that came with slack 9.1 from a terminal window then close netscape, I get tons of errors about missing assert statements, functions that do not exist etc...

meh i figured out mime was a docapp i had, wmwifi, still worked fine, just flooded the screen with ERROR.

is there a way to hide these errors?

>is there a way to hide these errors?
You mean aside from closing your eyes.... You might try redirecting the output to a file for example: netscape 2> somefilename. Check the manpages: %man n exec This might give you some idea on redirecting errors You might also check the xorg config file for some switch, don't know about that... ken |
yeah the file i usualy direct those useless error messages is /dev/null :-P
