Package: xserver-xephyr Version: 2:1.12.4-6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Xephyr stopped working for me some days ago. At first I thought it is some problem of the enlightenment 17 build I use. Today I have tried to run bbox, gnome-session and other WMs but none of them worked. I use the following script to start my sessions: » cat desktop-xephyr #!/bin/bash if [[ -z "$@" ]]; then echo "you need to supply something to be started in Xephyr" exit 1 fi xdisplay() { local disp=0; while [ -e "/tmp/.X${disp}-lock" ]; do disp=$(( disp + 1 )); done; echo $disp } #select display display=$(xdisplay) #start xserver Xephyr -ac -screen 1600x900 -br 2> /dev/null :$display & #set display export DISPLAY=:$display #wait for Xephyr to become ready sleep 1 #start window manager bash -c "$@" #remove x lock rm -fr /tmp/.X${display}-lock And it creates the following output: » bash -x desktop-xephyr /usr/bin/blackbox + [[ -z /usr/bin/blackbox ]] ++ xdisplay ++ local disp=0 ++ '[' -e /tmp/.X0-lock ']' ++ disp=1 ++ '[' -e /tmp/.X1-lock ']' ++ echo 1 + display=1 + export DISPLAY=:1 + Xephyr -ac -screen 1600x900 -br :1 + DISPLAY=:1 + sleep 1 + bash -c /usr/bin/blackbox bt::Display: failed to open display '' + rm -fr /tmp/.X1-lock I think running "+ Xephyr ..." line used to open a window. But this is not happening anymore. Please give me some hints how to provide more useful information. Regards, Jan C.
