Hi all,

10.1 BLFS Anyone doing it yet?

I have done a bit of it, i,m sure irc #lfs they would of

done xorg my custom desktop bits and peices, gparted, some xfce bits i need, gtk2/3 etc, managed to hose my host system for the 1st time in years of building lfs, still not sure what happened

I've just finished Firefox and have had better success with this so far than I did with 10.0. I will now use ICEWM to finish building from the
new system now. Sorry about your crash Keith.
Good day guys

couldn't get past libstdc++ second pass on 10.0, fine on 10.1 though, I do a regular backup so the crash wasn't too much agro, love to know what i did though some how i managed to change the uuid of my host system, didnt think that was possible without formating the disk.

I ran into my first problem. I cant login to DE unless I'm in root only.
regular user send me to 3 Terminals only? I reinstalled polkit too.
Says file not found when I try to edit ~./xinitrc ? what is going on?
Had trouble with 10.0 too like this

the trhree terminals and clock is from the default xinit rc in /etc/ somthing u need to copy that to ~/.xinitrc and edit to suit

/etc/X11/app-defaults/xinitrc

I started having problems with permission issues on 10.0 release. Something has changed
somewhere after 9.0 and It keeps screwing me up. Had no errors all the way through X and
now its saying ~./xinitrc file does not exist. I don't know where I go wrong. 8.3,8.4 & 9.0 all worked fine I never had those permission issues with them. Forgive the rant

the xinit file for startx is ~/.xinitrc you got the dot in the wrong place or was tha a typo?

It was a typo. Sorry

The main problems I have had with starting x is the permissions on my home folder being wrong try re-owning your home folder.

Thanks Keith,
Will give that a shot

Well,

Can't figure what caused the ownership issue and most importantly when. I looked for ways to do that and none
helped. Home folder will not let me save and edit the xinitrc file with exec openbox. Something has been
changed somewhere. Hate to take up everyone's time so I will close this.
Regards

I have been updating a system that was started at beginning of the year to current (sysvinit). It seems to be a solid release - the recent glibc and binutils updates don't seem to have been too disruptive.

My only issue was with the Plasma update from 5.19 to 5.21 - It broke my multi-monitor setup. The second monitor has severe video corruption and is unusable. On the positive side, Plasma on wayland has made progress and is almost (but not quite for me) suitable for day to day use.

Note: I tried to solve the Plasma issue with a new (blank) user profile. It didn't work - staying with Lxqt with kwin window manager.
