I followed the instructions on installing Apples X11 as best I could
give my circumstances. This is on my powerbook (no mouse hooked up at
the moment) December 2002 tools, recent failed attempts to update
everything, and following the instructions to install as spelled out
on the fink web sited. (dpkg to force remove my xfree86, install the
SDK and X11 user, fink selfupdate-cvs, etc.)
I had been using the threaded versions of xfree86, so I'm sure I have
some application issues. I also seem to be in the middle of an
unsuccessful attempt to update KDE and I'm not even sure if that is
relevant anymore. I need a little help to answer the following
questions:
1. How to I remove/replace any apps that depended on "threaded" with
ones that don't? What window manager options do I have? I was using
KDE before. As my KDE set up seems slightly screwed anyhow and
I have a dependency problem that is preventing me from
updating. But if I can't use it with Apples X11 then I want to
remove it - rather than fix it.
Unpacking replacement kdelibs3-ssl-dev ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kdelibs3-ssl-dev:
kdelibs3-ssl-dev depends on kdelibs3-ssl (>= 3.1-1); however:
Version of kdelibs3-ssl on system is 3.0.7-4.
dpkg: error processing kdelibs3-ssl-dev (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
[blah blah blah]
2. Can I use the KDE setup? Not required for what I want. How do I
start the quartz-wm. Without an .xinitrc I just get TWM and nothing
shows up as a running app in the top window bar. When I run startx
and exit out of the console window in TWM everything closes anyhow.
3. How can I get an X app icon back in Applications and in the Dock. I
don't think I should have to run startx from the terminal.
Here is what happens with startx.
