Package: xnest Version: 2:1.1.1-15 Followup-For: Bug #152505 I have been caught out by this bug before, and just now again: the first time was long enough ago that this time I had forgotten the first time. Branden suggests reading the X FAQ. I can't find it on my system. Branden said it was under /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common, but it's not in the successor package, x11-common. Hmm, google:
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/FAQ OK, now I can see a question about Xnest, and it says I should use xephyr. OK, I try that, but I get exactly the same problem. Now I read the question, and it tells me what to do. And the script works. So, why am I still writing this? Because I shouldn't have to ransack the BTS and go chasing across the web just to run a nested X server. Please can you package the wrapper script as /usr/bin/X{ephyr,nest}, then everything will just work? Or package the script under another name, add a note to the man pages about it, and preferably put a comment in the script or man pages explaining why you can't just install the wrapper as the name of the program it wraps. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xnest depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfont1 1:1.2.2-1 X11 font rasterisation library xnest recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
