Really, while running the removepkg or installpkg command your X session crashes?
The removepkg command does nothing to your X environment, it just removes the files from your filesysten. Unless you still had the steamclient running when you removed the package - but even that should not crash X.

And installpkg will run a couple of commands that should never crash X, they do nothing to your OpenGL configuration, libraries and do not start the steamclient itself:

Code:

/usr/bin/update-desktop-database usr/share/applications
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t usr/share/icons/hicolor
/usr/bin/update-mime-database usr/share/mime

No, no, sorry for the unclear post. By removepkg / installpkg I meant that I remove and after that install again the steamclient package. And the next start of steam crashes X.

X crashes only when steam is being launched. I haven't experienced X crash in other cases with other applications.

Hi, sorry for my bad English. There were some issues after mass upgrade and I've fixed most of them but unfortunately i didn't manage to fix the most annoying one: i can't see polish characters in UTF8 anymore in Thunar, shell and in terminal emulator.

I'm using 64bit -current with multilib and XFCE as a window manager. The problem has occured after -current and before multilib upgrade.

My settings:

/etc/profile.d/lang.sh:

Code:

export LANG=pl_PL.utf8
export LC_COLLATE=C
export LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_TIME="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_MONETARY="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
export LC_PAPER="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_NAME="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_ADDRESS="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_TELEPHONE="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_MEASUREMENT="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="pl_PL.utf8"
export LC_ALL=

/etc/rc.d/rc.font:

Code:

setfont -v lat2-16.psfu.gz

/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap:

Code:

/usr/bin/loadkeys pl2.map

Before upgrade it worked, now it does not. I can't see polish characters in Thunar, in shell and in XFCE terminal emulator. I can type and see them when typing in all sorts of GUI text editors, web browsers and so on but when typing in shell or terminal emulator they aren't visible. However they are visible in XFCE menu items, settings manager and so on. Things are better when I'm using ISO-8859-2 encoding in XFCE terminal or I'm switching from zsh to bash: I can see typed characters then but they still aren't visible when I'm listening directory or using midnight commander. Strange thing is that after setting up LOCALE to LANG=C (so obviously non-polish locale) I'm able to see polish characters in Thunar (but, of course, I can't type them anymore).
Another weird thing is that I can type and see correct characters in shell before logging in - in login prompt.

Hi, I often do some work by mobile computing when on the train between the office and home.
At work I have an extra monitor attached to my laptop and after disconnecting that and putting the whole shebang to sleep some java programs (LibreOffice, JalView) appear to hang upon resume in absence of this extra monitor. I do not know whether it has to do with XFCE since these crashes seem to occur after the recent upgrade to 4.12 (and is not resolved by the recent current-upgrades).

Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour? It is really forcing me not to use suspend/resume as I tend to lose work that way.

The java error files show similar errors (if that means anything):

Code:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Was your gamin package missing?

If you see a library like libfam.so.0 is not found, a good thing to do is less slackware64/MANIFEST.bz2 and search for the file to see if it's in a (possibly missing) package.

Yes, it was.

Thx for the info :-)

looks like nobody care about my issue....

It will be hard to help you if we can't reproduce that issue.

For that, the first thing would be to run a genuine Slackware-current as it is supposed to be, i.e. with zero customization: using a genuine Slackware kernel and typing "startx" as a regular user, etc.

Give more information first.
Like: post a complete Xorg.0.log instead of just the errors. Like Didier said, try this with a stock Slackware-current without your own kernel or other additions. Are you using nouveau or Nvidia binaries? Did you install all the recent NEW packages that were added to Slackware-current?

For the first time since the massive upgrades of 21 April 2015, I've installed wine-pipelight and pipelight, but Firefox cannot find two out of the three plugins I enabled.
They are in the correct dictionary, /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and I copied them to ~/.mozilla/plugins/, but, again, Firefox only sees the abode reader plugin, but not the silverlight or widevine plugins.
A 'pipelight-plugin --system-check' shows the system failed the libraries test for both 32 and 64-bit, as "libodbc.so" is missing, but everything else passed.

Solved.
Edit in: OK, found the answer in Alien Bob's troubling shooting tips
for wine-pipelight, and that was to delete the pluginreg.dat file.

http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/pipe...#comment-23170

Once done the plugins were visible and functional. BTW, this procedure
had to be repeated for SeaMonkey before it could see and use the same
plugins.

Ok, I found the problem.
I run a vncserver in background, and run xfce in it. the device file /dev/dri/card0 is opened by xfwm4 in vnc

When vnc/xfce4 is running, I can not start X-server in console.
After vnc stopped, then everything is fine, even I start two X-server in different console, they are all running ok.

Can't compile clisp-2.49 (the one shipped with -current) as he requires libsigsegv-2.8, while the one installed is version 2.10, solved adding

Code:

SIGSEGV=libsigsegv-2.10 ./configure

at the clisp's ./configure command

Plus: it is not safe to use $JOBS on ffcall's make as the build chain could fail (Makefiles not properly generated).

gdal (from SBo) won't compile against current poppler. A workaround is to disable poppler binding with a

Code:

--without-poppler

configure switch inside the SlackBuild.

ponce · 05-10-2015, 08:50 AM

Willy found a patch and sent it to gdal's maintainer, David: this last routed it to me for inclusion in my personal repository for -current
