Package: xbase-clients Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Severity: important I can unable to use startx or xinit to start an X session with a terminal emulator as the client. The command I am using is 'startx xterm'.
With xterm, the window appears but a shell is never run. The mouse cursor flickers when it hovers over the xterm window. When I try rxvt, the entire window flickers constantly; when I try gnome-terminal, the window appears and then disappears and the X session ends. Everything works if I use twm as the client. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdmx1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Distributed Multihead X client lib ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfs6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Font Server library ii libglu1-xorg [libglu1] 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Mesa OpenGL utility library [X.Org ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxau6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Authentication library ii libxaw8 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Athena widget set library ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxfixes3 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous 'fix ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System multi-head display ii libxkbfile1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Keyboard Extension file parsing ii libxkbui1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Keyboard Extension user interfac ii libxmu6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxmuu1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 lightweight X Window System miscel ii libxp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X pixmap library ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Screen Saver client-side library ii libxt6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii libxtrap6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol-trapping ii libxtst6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System event recording an ii libxv1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System video extension li ii libxxf86dga1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Direct Graphics Access extension ii libxxf86misc1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X miscellaneous extensions library ii libxxf86vm1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Video Mode selection library ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Mesa 3D graphics library [X.Org] ii xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client data ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
