Kubuntu XGL Beryl (Small Problem)

JonBrant · 11-09-2006, 03:49 AM

Alright, so I followed these instructions http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index....ntu/Dapper/XGL
and everything went smoothly until the very last line

Quote:

In KDE (Kubuntu), you can add a simple script to the "~/.kde/Autostart/" directory that activates those commands:

And I got confused. I ended up using sudo nano /home/xasz/.kde/Autostart/startxgl.sh (my user name is xasz)

And copied

Code:

#!/bin/sh
xprop -root -f _XKB_RULES_NAMES 8s -set _XKB_RULES_NAMES xorg
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us
if [ `ps aux | grep Xgl | grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 1 ] ; then
	beryl-manager
	beryl-xgl
fi

into it and saved. Now, whenever I start, kate opens the file up... it's not executing it. It's simply opening it and I don't know why (I'm kinda noob)

I know it's got to be a simple problem, but I can't figure it out. typing

Code:

beryl-manager

then waiting...
then typing

Code:

beryl-xgl

gets it to work perfectly, other than it crashing when I go to shutdown, but that doesn't bother me much. (I'd like to fix it if anyone knows how...)

Anyone have any idea?

The following makes a file executable. You may need to add sudo before the command.

chmod 0775 /path/filename

where path is the path to where the file is, and filename is the file you originally edited.

Hope that sorts the executing bit of it.

Yay, that's working

Now my only proble is that when I choose end session, KDE crashes... no clue why

If you remove the script and reboot, does KDE still crash on shutdown?

You could try the beryl forums, they might help!

If you press ctrl+alt+F2, you should see a login screen where you can login as root, and run ps ax or top to see what's still running, unless it's fully hung! There should be a terminal available on at least F1 to F4.

Do a google for bruno linux, and bookmark it. Great for beginners and pros alike....
