Package: awesome Version: 3.5.6-1 Severity: important Hi,
to reproduce my problem, I prepared the following script which sets up a minimal virtual machine image: rm -f testimg fallocate -l 10G testimg sudo mkfs.ext4 testimg ROOT=`mktemp -d` sudo mount testimg "$ROOT" sudo debootstrap --variant=minbase unstable "$ROOT" http://127.0.0.1:3142/httpredir.debian.org/debian echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "0";' | sudo tee "$ROOT/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99no-install-recommends" > /dev/null cat << END | sudo tee "$ROOT/etc/kernel-img.conf" > /dev/null link_in_boot = yes do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes END cat << END | sudo tee "$ROOT/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" > /dev/null #!/bin/sh echo "sysvinit: All runlevel operations denied by policy" >&2 exit 101 END sudo chmod +x "$ROOT/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" cat << END | sudo tee "$ROOT/etc/fstab" > /dev/null root / auto errors=remount-ro 0 1 END sudo chroot "$ROOT" apt-get update sudo chroot "$ROOT" apt-get -y install xserver-xorg xinit udev linux-image-amd64 sudo awesome xterm sudo rm "$ROOT/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" sudo chroot "$ROOT" useradd --groups lp,dialout,cdrom,floppy,sudo,audio,video,plugdev --create-home --shell /bin/bash --uid 1000 --user-group josch echo "josch:secret" | sudo chroot "$ROOT" chpasswd cp -L "$ROOT"/boot/initrd.img . cp -L "$ROOT"/boot/vmlinuz . sudo umount "$ROOT" rm -r "$ROOT" you can boot into the system by doing: after logging in as user josch, password secret, you can run xinit to get an X server together with an xterm. If you then start awesome from within that xterm you will see the following error message: error while running function stack traceback: [C]: in function 'load_image' /usr/share/awesome/lib/gears/surface.lua:39: in function </usr/share/awesome/lib/gears/surface.lua:24> (tail call): ?
