[blfs-support] Xorg and dbus
There are many packages in BLFS whose purpose and functions I don't really understand. Even when I try to learn about them the descriptions are cryptic and I still have questions. Dbus is one of those. I've installed it because it was a dependency for either dhcpcd or wpa_supplicant. But now that I have it, I want to make it earn its keep. I know that it allows one application to talk to another one, but that's the extent of my knowledge. While looking for something else, I discovered a configure switch in xorg-serverenable-config-dbus. I'm thinking about re-building the server with this enabled. What gain or advantage is there? Would someone please give me an example? One thing that I thought of was it might be useful when I build network manager. If my thinking is correct, then network manager in graphics mode, xorg, my window manager and wpa_supplicant could all talk back and forth to one another. Am I on the right track or is this over-simplified? Or is it irrelevant? :) Thanks, Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[blfs-support] The dreaded Cannot open Xorg.o.log
For the first time in my LFS life I got this message. Just so people can roll their eyes, but also to provide info, I use the Package Users system. This error, I thought, came from faulty permissions, ls -alQ gives: -rwsr-sr-x 1 10118 10118 12630128 Nov 29 15:27 Xorg Where user and group 10118 are xorg-server. I get a number of other messages when I use startx, but this one is the first message and it's the only Fatal server error message. Since I have no log, I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot. The only other obvious thing is something about which I've never thought before. There is a link /usr/bin/X --/usr/bin/Xorg that is not suid. The link is executable by all and I've never thought about the need to make a link suid. Anyway, I just need some suggestions on where to look for the problem.

[blfs-support] problem using BS or DEL key
Hi folks, I wonder if anyone could guess what's wrong with my text terminal. I've recently built LFS-7.4 (32bit) and most of BLFS (I'm not using X Windows, just text terminals only) on Atom D2550 motherboard, VGA display resolution. When I logged in if I try to edit bash command line by deleting symbol with BS rest of the text line became solid white blocks. The same happens if I edit in mcedit (editing in midnight commander). If I scroll text garbage symbols scroll as well). Same happens if I use DEL key, but not every time. I also use loadkeys with no-latin1 (dunno if it might cause any trouble or not). Any hint, what might be wrong?

Are you seeing literally the string 'Xorg.o.log' : shouldn't that be
'Xorg.0.log' - i.e. the digit '0' (zero) and not a lowercase letter
'o' ('oh').
For the first time in my LFS life I got this message. Just so people
can roll their eyes, but also to provide info, I use the Package Users
system. This error, I thought, came from faulty permissions, ls -alQ
gives:
-rwsr-sr-x 1 10118 10118 12630128 Nov 29 15:27 Xorg
Where user and group 10118 are xorg-server.
One would normally see user/group names instead of numerical values: but
depends
on e.g. how your ls command is aliased. Have you got that 'xorg-server' user
defined OK in /etc/{password,shadow,group,...} ? Iirc the hyphen may be being
not
liked.
I get a number of other messages when I use startx, but this one is
the first message and it's the only Fatal server error message. Since
I have no log, I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot. The only
other obvious thing is something about which I've never thought before.
There is a link /usr/bin/X --/usr/bin/Xorg that is not suid. The
link is executable by all and I've never thought about the need to make
a link suid.
It's quite normal for such links to have perms 777 - e.g.:
$ ll /usr/bin/X
lrwxrwxrwx 1 [ ... ] /usr/bin/X - Xorg*
$
It's - broadly speaking - the perms/c on the pointed-to object that are what
essentially controls access; you can experiment yourself with e.g. links to
a simple script that echoes 'ola' or whatever - mess around with the
perms/owners
of link/script.
rgds,
akh
Anyway, I just need some suggestions on where to look for the problem.
I installed everything in Ch. 24 of BLFS-SVN and non-root. I've never
encountered this situation before and am stumped. My only goal right
now is to get the server up and running even if nothing else works.

I get: Fatal server error: [ 700.680] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied) All what you mentioned should be fixed when you run chown root:root /usr/bin/Xorg and chmod 4755 /usr/bin/Xorg. Please note that if you run chown on a setuid executable, it loses its setuid bit, so it might be necessarry to set it again. Oh, Armin, I had completely forgotten about that! Xorg thanks you. root thanks you. And I thank you. I can't believe how much I have forgotten in three years. Everything works well now--even the red, green and blue turning gears. :) Now I'm ready to tackle the radeon proprietary driver. Thanks again.
