Out of principle I refuse to touch anything stored in a svn repository. And really, the whole problem space is wrong, if you need an 'init system' your system is already FUBAR. What do you mean? One needs a program with PID 1. That could be a script, but if you need to edit that script you risk corrupting the system initialization. In special if you allow a package manager to add an entry. Thus you'll want to compile it from multiple simpler scripts. Such compilation will have to take dependencies into account (either the admin or computer). Scripts that may run in parallel may be seperate and execute in their own process, but for scripts that need to execute one after another, spawning a whole new process seems wasteful. If your init system requires dependency tracking then you are way beyond FUBAR. Arguably, but declaring dependencies is simpler than keeping up- and downbringing scripts in sync. I'll admit that I'm gradually removing dependency management from my boot process, so I'd better not argue for it. -- kv, - Bjartur
[dev] Problem starting wmii with fresh ruby github wmiirc
I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install, and compiled and installed the tarball of wmii 3.9.2 via 'make deb' and dpkg. When using the default sh wmiirc, I have to manually set WMII_CONFPATH to ~/.wmii, or it tries writing to /.wmii/foo. I set this in my ~/.bashrc, which does make it into my environment I followed sunaku's directions on the github wmiirc ruby page. I've used wmii on gentoo before, but wanted to get a setup going on Ubuntu before I started before modding stuff. However, while the window manager is running and managing windows, I don't get the menu. I've installed 'suckless-tools' package as well, in case it was trying to use dmenu. I thought that (for the same reason as WMII_CONFPATH) I might have to define WMII_NAMESPACE explicitly, but that doesn't seem to help. So ... help! Ideas? Cheers, __armando

[dev] [dwm] Windows size changes
Hello,
I was surprised to see that a java window does not update its content,
in fact nothing changes. If you resize the window nothing happens and
the usual behavior is that the window updates its content to the new
size.
On pekwm or gnome, it works. The window `stretch' its content to the
maximal size, on dwm nothing happens it stays at white.
You can try my little example program on a free wm and dwm :
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Compteur extends JPanel {
JButton jp_plus;/* Bouton plus */
JButton jp_minus; /* Bouton moins */
JTextField jtf_field; /* Affichage du compteur */
public Compteur() {
super ();
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
jp_plus = new JButton(+);
jp_minus = new JButton(-);
jtf_field = new JTextField(0, 20);
this.add(jp_plus, BorderLayout.WEST);
this.add(jtf_field, BorderLayout.CENTER);
this.add(jp_minus, BorderLayout.EAST);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame jf = new JFrame(Exercice 2 : Compteur);
jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jf.setSize(400,100);
JPanel jp_cp = new Compteur();
jf.add(jp_cp);
jf.setVisible(true);
}
}
Kind regards,

Re: [dev] Problem starting wmii with fresh ruby github wmiirc
ATM I have a shiny new comp, so i'm in a I have a hammer, and everything looks like a nail-situation. I'm going to reinstall Gentoo, as I'd like to get a Linux distro and WMII installed, to be productive (suddenly realized I wasn't in the mood to learn Ubuntu/Debian). When I get to the WMII install, if the issue with 3.9.2 disappears, or is resolved by using hg tip, I'll post my results here. Thanks, and cheers, __armando On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 11:38 AM, Kris Maglione maglion...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 11:31:27AM -0500, Armando Di Cianno wrote: I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install, and compiled and installed the tarball of wmii 3.9.2 via 'make deb' and dpkg.

When I had problems with Java some years ago I remember to setup the
environment variable= Mtoolkit and worked (with a very old version of
dwm)
