AfterStep install probs NEARLY solved...
Hi, I moved my untarred themes from ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/themes to /home/adam/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/themes and clicked on 'Start-->Desktop-->Update StartMenu' when they showed in the 'Desktop-->Theme' menu but clicking on the theme directoriess just shows me the sub-files and does not change AfterStep themes.

AfterStep theme install probs.
I downloaded and untarred a number of themes in ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/themes/[themename] but have been unable to open them after updatingAfterStep's theme menu via Start-->Desktop-->Update Startmenu and selecting Start-->Desktop-->Theme I'm conscious of two errors ... (1) Unfamiliar with AfterStep I clicked the 'Create Theme' button on the menu, entering six of the untarred theme-names before I realised this was incorrect. They are now the only ones to come up in the theme menu but do not open any of the installed themes. Which file do I go to to delete them ? Could this be why the other installed themes are also inoperative ? (2) The theme 'blueMetal' was the only one not to package its files correctly ( tar tzvf [filename]) so I created /blueMetal, cd'd there and untarred. Something strange happened and I can't find /blueMetal or 'blueMetal*gz' I'll have to keep trying 'find -name blueMetal* -print' but more fundamentally, I don't understand why the installed themes don't work.

afterstep
Hi im playing around a little with afterstep and ran into a few problems. Actually to describe them all would last too long so let me put it that way: Ill send you my .xsessionerrors file how it was created running afterstep for the first time (unconfigured) and if someone has got it running with customisations and own config files please send me a copy of theese so i check them through and ill see what ive done wrong okidoki? This is my .xsessionerrors file: Detected colordepth : 16. Loading configuration ..unable to locate the fixed menu directory: No such file or directory (*) libXpm error: Couldn't allocate required colors (*) libXpm error: Couldn't allocate required colors (*) .AfterStep(non-configurable/0_feel.16bpp:259):unknown function name in function specification [CirculateUp].

If someone , as i sayd before , has done custom configs (wharp etc.) tell me what configfiles i need to put into my personal directories. Also i am interrested if those tons of fanzy background animations and wharp applets which i know from other distros running afterstep (no names here =) ) are available from apt sources.

GNOME and afterstep problems
Hi! Im still with the xauth issues.. but to make matters more weird, i found out that if i start an afterstep X session, i can run any program i installed as root, like mozilla, with no problems! however , if i get into a Ximian GNOME session, via gdm, as a normal user... iget the Xlib client not authorized to connect to server error... Why is this? does GNOME and afterstep handle the authorization differently??? Thanks... Camilo
Re: troubles with afterstep 1.8 on woody
At first glance it sounds like a video card issue. My experience with X in general has thus far dictated that if you don't see a desktop before the crash, it's a video problem.

troubles with afterstep 1.8 on woody
hello i've been using afterstep for a long time..probably 3 years now. on one of my machines(IBM Thinkpad T20), my afterstep has gone sort of down hill in recent months. Specifically, i use afterstep 1.6 from potato(compiled on woody) and when it loads it stalls for a REAL long time while the pager loads. Then everything is fine. This does not occur on 2 of my other woody machines which run afterstep 1.6 as well. i was getting tired of it so tonight i tried working with afterstep 1.8 and its much worse, I cannot get it to start at all, the only thing it says is: Detected colordepth : 16. Loading configuration it hangs there forever. I got it working a few times inside Xnest, but could not get it working on the real X server. I removed my ~/GNUstep directory to be sure it was using a clean config, to no avail. Both 16 and 24bit color depths are the same. so for now im back to afterstep 1.6, which works fine except for the significant delay when initially starting it(the stall prevents any other things from connecting to the X server while the pager loads). I tried running afterstep in debug mode (--debug) but it did not provide any more information(just that one line). KDE works fine ..afterstep 1.6 works fine ..my login manager is KDM. I tried it both through KDM and through 'startx' and ~/.xinitrc ..same results everytime. only Xnest seems to allow afterstep 1.8 to function(and even then many times it fails with the same error) Theres only 1 logged bug on the package which seems totally unrelated to this. i upgraded all my packages to the latest from woody tonight to be sure everything was clean. i'm really lost ..never have had afterstep do this to me before. any ideas are appreciated !

You are correct that there is a compile time option to enable/disable saving the open windows (it's called --enable-savewindows) and the default is yes. I now am using one of the latest versions of AS, 1.8.6, and I would recommend to you to upgrade to it. There are a lot of new features as well as fixes. It's available at www.afterstep.org (which you probably already knew). The only thing I can think of that might be your problem is that you/afterstep doesn't have write permission to the G/L/A directory where the .workstate file is written to. Cheers, T. Tilton

I'd suggest submitting a wishlist "bug" to the maintainer about turning that option on by default (he/she may disagree). Immediate solution is, of course, to compile it yourself. -- Eric G. Miller
afterstep and saved states in potato
Howdy folks, I compiled AfterStep 1.6.10 on a slink machine a while back and really enjoyed the 'saved state' feature that would return all my apps the way they were before I quit X after loggin out via aftersteps script (the button in the wharf). Now I have a potato system (fully updated) with the same version of afterstep only from the deb package rather than from source. The configs have the same line in the autoboot file specifying to read the 'saved state' file, but this file is always empty. From comments in the docs it appears this feature is a compile time option. Does anyone know why it doesn't work? would it have been compiled out as a feature and yet configured to read this file at startup anyway? doesn't make much sense, but then again neither do I... thanks, Dave "If windows is the solution, can we have the problem back please?"

Re: AfterStep and using Themes
1.7-1.8 Afterstep has a builtin theme support. You can use that engine, or do it by hand, just untar the tarball, and put files into appropriate directories (manually). If you will use the theme engine, go to GNUstep/Library/Afterstep/themes directory, and put your tarball there. Next update all, and under Desktop->Themes you will see that tarball. (if update all fails, just restart the AS session). Click on it and it should install fine. Andrei First there was Explorer. Then came Expedition. This summer coming to a street near you..

Installing AfterStep
I' ve installed AfterStep Windows manager (.deb package) by typing " dpkg -i afterstep.deb " in console. What should I do next? Shall I compile afterstep? And how? I have tried very hard to find some explanations in online manuals and faqs, but I don't understand a lot of things that is written in them. Look at this example (this is debian tutorial under chapter "Removing and installing software): 16.6 Compiling software yourself You´ll have to have -dev packages installed. Put it in /usr/local, /opt, or your home directory. The cofingure --prefix; make; make install routine. Ís there anybody in this world who can understand what this guy means by this shit: "The configure --prefix; make; make install routine." Should I configure something? Should I write "--prefix" somewhere? And where? In console? Should I after that write "make" in console or maybe write all this shit in console? The same problem I meet when I read the "readme" document which is included in afterstep.deb file. This guy write( for example ) this: Type: . /configure But, the problem is, that he doesn't write where to type . /configure. In console? And what to type? Should I type ". / " before the word "configure" ? or I should write the whole path to the file and then type configure? Is there anybody who can help? How to install and run AfterStep?

Hi Cormac, I'm glad to see the problem was discovered by other user as well. For days, I thought that I was the only dude uses afterstep and the only dude imagined thing :). And thank you very much for filling the bug report because I have yet to learned how to fill the bug report... Secondly, how would I go about customize my afterstep desktop.

Hi, I finally figure what was the problem with unable to click on the xterm icon on the desktop to bring up the xterm. The problem was in the /usr/share/afterstep/wharf where the line that contains the xterm information. It should end with an & intead of the $ which was installed/configured.

X-Window and AfterStep
After adding new applications (eg. /opt/netscape/netscape), to /etc/X11/afterstep/menudefs.hook, the menu works fine for a while, but after some time, menudefs.hook goes back to its original configuration, wiping out any trace of the new additions (well, it keeps them on menudefs.hook~).

nestcape crashes afterstep
Dear Debian-Users, I have a very disturbing problem with communicator 4.5 and afterstep. My Nestcape crashes VERY often (a few times a day), even I have switched of Java and stuff like that. The Problem is that nothing will be displayed anymore in the netscape window and that I can't close the window the "normal" way, so I must use kill. Even killing -9 or -15 all netscape processes doesnet help. When I kill the window with the menu option my afterstep closes and I have to log in from xdm again. Any suggestions what I can do?? -- Bye Mitch --- / Michael Symalla(Uni-Dortmund Physik E5) \ / DESY HERA-B Bldg.66/1 office phone: 040/8998 2571 \ / Notkestr.85Fax.: +49 40 8998 4033 \ / D-22607 Hamburghome phone: 040/5000857 \ / \ / E-mail: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'\ / \ / PGP-KEY ID : 0xEFBFF2BD \ / Fingerprint: CA57 8960 3C3B F4C2 15C8 2116 5FC3 338A \ ---
Afterstep Debian popup submenu not working
Hello, I have a problem with popup menus in the Afterstep window manager: the Debian submenu is empty. On my system at home, this submenu is fully populated with lots of entries. Both systems run the latest Afterstep version, though, and were upgraded in a similar manner from bo. There has been a bug report about this, but it is marked as solved and not available on the net any more. Probable this one contains a hint about what might be wrong with one of my systems.

Are you using the "bo" system (1.3.x) or the "hamm" ("frozen"
in development) system? If you are using the hamm system, you
might need to copy the /GNUstep directory to your /home/user
directory. In either case, take a look in your /usr/doc/afterstep
directory of documents. Read the README.debian (or whatever
variation of it) file. ...hope that helps.

What happens is that a user starts afterstep and it creates a /tmp/steprc file, containing their current setup. The permissions are set according to the user's umask. Sometimes, when the user leaves afterstep this temporary file is not removed, so when the next afterstep user comes along it will try to use the temporary file in preference to their own setup. Worse, if the first user's umask was such that the next user does not have read permission, afterstep will fail to start. For other users, this does not happen. And once upon a time it didn't happen for anybody. Does anybody have any idea what causes the steprc not to be deleted for some users? I suspect something in the personal setup files (this is a student lab, and once somebody gets a nice looking setup it tends to be copied around), but since I am not an afterstep user I haven't been able to spot anything untoward in the .steprc files concerned. The afterstep man page and FAQ do not mention the use of this temporary file at all. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock Leicester Universityphone: (+44) 116 252 3902 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

With 8bpp you only have 256 colours, and afterstep just uses too many of them (look at the gradient fills and such). If you configure fvwm2 to use gradient fills and many colorfull icons, it will run out of colors as well. I am surprised that netscape even started. As it is another colorhog. Although you can start it with the -install argument, so it uses fewer colors. Ciao, Martin -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

bo - Afterstep - colours
Yes, this might be a tad off-topic but... I have 3 window managers installed on my bo system. All 3 are the versions that came with the 1.3.1 CD set. They are fvwm95, fvwm2 and Afterstep. I only have 1meg video RAM and I run X at 1024x768 with 8bpp. I have a colour problem when I run Afterstep which results in the top 2 wharf icons not displaying and causes Netscape to display in black and white. This colour problem doesn't occur under any circumstances with the other w/managers. Yes, I can run at 16bpp and this doesn't happen but I can only get a resolution of 800x600 at this colour depth. Could this be a problem that is Afterstepish or one that is peculiar to the Afterstep version that came with Bo ? -- John Spence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.lynx.net.au/~jspence -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Afterstep blues
Hi, I've decided I need some help. I don't get it anymore. I upgraded a lot of packages on my own computer to be able to use libc6 versions of X-programs (most notably the gimp), and it has worked. I use afterstep as window manager (version 1.0-5.1). This one also works just fine. Now I have installed *exactly* the same packages on the computer of a friend (which had almost the same install as mine computer, and I should know, I installed it), in *exactly* the same order, and I can't get afterstep to work. Put afterstep in .xsession, and it just hangs whenever afterstep tries to draw some pretty lines around windows. btw. windows don't appear at all. Example .xsession: xterm & afterstep doesn't show a thing. Other example: xterm .. shows an xterm, but this setup is hardly usable :) I also tried: afterstep & $wmpid=$! start some things wait $wmpid Doesn't do it either. Difference between the computers: I use xdm, he doesn't, I have an S3 968, he an ATI MACH64. One thin I noticed: on his computer 'top' fails to run *after* I have tried to start afterstep. If I start top *before* I have started afterstep for the first time after a reboot, it works. So, anybody got a clue? Did I miss some package? Relevant packages installed on both systems: xlib6_3.3.1-2.deb xlib6g_3.3.1-2.deb xpm4.7_3.4j-0.5.deb xpm4g_3.4j-0.5.deb afterstep_1.0-5.1.deb m4_1.4-6.deb Maarten _ | Maarten Boekhold, Faculty of Electrical Engineering TU Delft, NL| | Computer Architecture and Digital Technique section | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: afterstep icons
Thanks to all those who tried to help me. Afterstep was running in 16bpp, not 8. If I modified the .steprc file I could make the AFstep.xpm icon appear elsewhere on the wharf bar. The fix was to install xproc_1.12.2_i386.deb from the /debian/updates directory. This made xload work again and fixed the icon not displaying thing. Hopefully this post will make someone searching dejanews late one night happy, because it'll be one more thing that someone on the net has solved for another netizen. david..

afterstep icons
the icon on the top of the warf bar (afterstep and X windows) is missing. The AFstep.xpm file exists and is viewable using xv, but it won't appear. That's because you have a 8bpp (256 colors on screen) and Afterstep use a lot of them. When AS doesn't have colors, it simply don't put the icon! So, use a resolution with 16bpp or search for icons with less colors (I know that exist something like 'afterstep 8 bit icons)...

If you are missing these two files, the afterstep, mailbox, and load graph icons will not show. ITS NOT A BUG, I had the same problem before and it's working fine now.

Debian + AfterStep= no color
Hi all, My specs: 486 DX-2 66mhz 20 megs RAM STB Horizon video card w/ 1 meg RAM I currently have Slackware with XFree 3.1.2 installed on HDA5 and I recently decided to try Debian 1.3 with XFree 3.3, which is now installed on HDA3. Afterstep is my window manager in both cases. I have no problems with the Slackware setup - Afterstep works beautifully and is very appealing visually. Under Debian however, I have almost NO color. Upon exit I see the message: Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for [color] My XF86Config is the same in both cases, as is my .steprc. My root window has a simple grey background, I am running at 8bpp, nothing special loaded except the wharf and Afterstep icons. I have shutdown everything I can prior to starting X, I have plenty of swap space allocated. The results are the same whether I start X as root or user. I have been RTFM but cannot find anything that refrences this particular problem. RGB.txt is in the proper place and path set. Suggestions? Did I forget to install / configure something? Do I need to downgrade to 3.1.2? The window manager is FUNCTIONAL but it certainly does not look as good. The thing that really confounds me is that the same setup works so well with Slackware.
