Hi, I've decided I need some help. I don't get it anymore. I upgraded a lot of packages on my own computer to be able to use libc6 versions of X-programs (most notably the gimp), and it has worked. I use afterstep as window manager (version 1.0-5.1). This one also works just fine.
Now I have installed *exactly* the same packages on the computer of a friend (which had almost the same install as mine computer, and I should know, I installed it), in *exactly* the same order, and I can't get afterstep to work. Put afterstep in .xsession, and it just hangs whenever afterstep tries to draw some pretty lines around windows. btw. windows don't appear at all. Example .xsession: xterm .... & afterstep doesn't show a thing. Other example: xterm ...... shows an xterm, but this setup is hardly usable :) I also tried: afterstep & $wmpid=$! start some things wait $wmpid Doesn't do it either. Difference between the computers: I use xdm, he doesn't, I have an S3 968, he an ATI MACH64. One thin I noticed: on his computer 'top' fails to run *after* I have tried to start afterstep. If I start top *before* I have started afterstep for the first time after a reboot, it works. So, anybody got a clue? Did I miss some package? Relevant packages installed on both systems: xlib6_3.3.1-2.deb xlib6g_3.3.1-2.deb xpm4.7_3.4j-0.5.deb xpm4g_3.4j-0.5.deb afterstep_1.0-5.1.deb m4_1.4-6.deb Maarten _____________________________________________________________________________ | Maarten Boekhold, Faculty of Electrical Engineering TU Delft, NL | | Computer Architecture and Digital Technique section | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
