Status of Xorg 7.5 and xfce4?
in [Ports]
|
From: Richard Kuhns on 5 May 2010 08:57 Greetings, I've just updated the first of 3 machines running FreeBSD 8.0 as of a week or so ago, and after the update I couldn't start my desktop. Googling revealed that it's a known problem, but the only solution I could find was to delete xfce4-session. While doing so allows me to use my desktop again, it's obviously not the best answer. Has there been any progress on fixing this problem? I don't want to update the other machines until it's resolved. I'll be happy to help with any testing and/or supplying more details about my setup. At this moment, though, there's nothing to add that isn't already in the mailing list archives.

I've already removed ~/.config/xfce4-session to no effect, and I don't have an xorg.conf file at all. BTW, the machine I updated is running amd64; was your successful update amd64 or i386?

Try renaming your ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/xfce4-session to something else and see if that allows you to use your desktop again. I've also seen a case where the culprit was /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- if you have autogenerated xorg.conf, try generating it again, or try removing stuff from it until it starts working. (If it does start working, of course.) ~ Ondra _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

Does any of these two complain about anything? You could try disabling them and writing an Xorg.conf by hand and see that gets you anywhere. > > BTW, the machine I updated is running amd64; was your successful update amd64 or > i386? Mine's i386. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I'm getting the following error when I try to start my desktop with xfce4-session installed (which, except for the process ID, is just like the other failure reports I've found in the mailing list archives): === process 1675: arguments to dbus_message_new_signal() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1165. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

OK, a general question then: could anyone running an FreeBSD 8.0 amd64 kernel/userland report that they have a working Xorg 7.5/xfce4 installation? -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> My Desk: 765-269-8541 Wintek Corporation Internet Support: 765-269-8503 427 N 6th Street STE C Consulting: 765-269-8504 Lafayette, IN 47901-2211 Accounting: 765-269-8502 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"
