A project that I personally think is important and would be fun to work on, is the Debian installer. It will be the first portable installer in any GNU/Linux distro, fills a very real need of the Debian project, and looks very promising to me.. Maybe you can build a KDE based front-end for it, or something like that ? Check this page for more info: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ cheers domi
Update of libxrender causes relocation error on startup of KDE
On startup I get an error message, "Could not start kdeinit...", and the first few lines of ~/.xsession-errors look like this startkde: Starting up... kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1: undefined symbol: XRenderFindStandardFormat startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root ... KDE does start up nevertheless. This happens, apparently, after yesterday's update to libxrender1. I'm using the prelink package to prelink all executables and shared libs. To make sure the error isn't caused by some inconsistent state I freshly prelinked everything, but the error persisted afterwards. Going back to libxrender1 0.8.2-1 helped, though. Otherwise I'm running the latest sid. I'm not sure against which package I should file a bug report.

I fully agree with David Bishop that you should find yourself a project you have personal interest in. This is necessary to keep motivated through the bring inital phase where you very likely have to dig through lots of code other peopl wrote. I like Dominique Devriese's suggestion to look at some Debian project. There is always some work that is in the responsibility of the distributor, for example providing GUI frontends for system configuration, and in Debian, we are the distributor(s).

Perhaps, but kpackage has always been too slow to start to use _just_ for this sort of thing. If it's possible for kpackage to reuse what Sylvain has provided, that'll be great, but I quite like this and will probably use it often. -- Derek

UPDATE: relocation errors and accented character problems
Ok, I think we may have determined what the problem is. Everyone who is having either of the problems please try adding quotes around the var for LD_BIND_NOW. If that works for you also check to see what the following points to: ls -al /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 2003-09-18 17:12 /bin/sh -> bash I think not having the quotes is wrong but that bash doesn´t care(?). However, I do have at least one reported case where when /bin/sh points to dash it causes the problem. dash is posix shell which would very likely make the code fail. If this fixes the problem I will correct it in the next upload. Thanks, Chris signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Just unsetting LD_BIND_NOW is enough to avoid the problem. Which has the same effect (accented chars work) than starting any kde application from a shell. So, I think is just a kdeinit problem.

If that works for you also check to see what the If you refer to adding: LD_BIND_NOW="true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify" This is wrong, because without the quotes it assigns true to LD_BIND_NOW and the execute kdeinit. By adding the quotes you assign to full string to the variable. That means that kdeinit isn't started there (and probably LD_BIND_NOW is tested as "true"). But kdeinit is still started later on, so I wonder the what's doing exactly that line there. > following points to: > > ls -al /bin/sh > lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 2003-09-18 17:12 /bin/sh -> > bash > > I think not having the quotes is wrong but that bash doesnÂt care(?).

I think is related to a variable initialisation in startx|startkde, but is not this one. -- ricardo galli GPG id C8114D34 http://mnm.uib.es/~gallir/

Re: UPDATE: relocation errors and accented character problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 People, I think we are confident that this is not an issue with bash/dash or with the quoting in /usr/bin/startkde. Please leave the relevant line in startkde as distributed: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify When we have a solution to this libxrender/ldconfig breakage, we will let you all know.

I have to run XFree 4.3 so haven't seen this problem myself. I am working with Branden Robinson to help resolve this issue now. BTW think of LD_BIND_NOW as: LD_BIND_NOW="yes" kdeinit +kcminit +knotify it is passing the variable to kdeinit not being misquoted. That is the reason doing LD_BIND_NOW="yes kdeinit +kcminit +knotify" would be incorrect. Thanks, Chris signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'm pretty sure this is unrelated to the wrong accented characters, because I have no libXrender libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib/ in any of my machines. -- ricardo galli GPG id C8114D34 http://mnm.uib.es/~gallir/

Branden is compiling a new > libxrender package now, and when tested will upload to Debian. Just to keep people up-to-date, it will be a few hours before Branden is ready to upload a fixed, so please either downgrade or wait for the new package to be built, tested and uploaded. === xrender (0.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Urgency medium because the problem fixed by this release bites a lot of KDE users who are using XFree86 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 Debian packages. * Add new diversion of the actual old libXrender shared object (as opposed to diverting only the symlinks). This is necessary because ldconfig will recreate the libXrender.so.1 symbolic link in /usr/X11R6/ lib, which causes major confusion (and possibly errors from the dynamic loader) for anything that searches /usr/X11R6/lib before /usr/lib. / usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1.1 is now being diverted to /usr/X11R6/ lib/xlibs.libXrender-1.1.so.1.1. The diversion's name has to have "xlibs." preprended because ldconfig will attempt to operate on any plain file matching "lib*.so*". - debian/libxrender1.preinst - debian/libxrender1.postrm * Under duress, ship a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la to / usr/lib/libXrender.la. There appears to be a bug in libtool that that compels it to place absolute paths to .la files in other .la files. This symlink should allow a transition to a non-broken libtool (or the eventual recompilation of all libraries that transitively depend on libXrender, which is a lot of them) and will be removed in the future. - debian/libxrender-dev.links -- Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 8 Oct 2003 19:17:31 - -0500 === Thanks, and goodnight.
