I expect the vast majority of Debian Live images nowadays are written to
USB flash storage rather than to read-only media, so I think it would
make a lot of sense for those live images to offer the ability to change
the image with things like `apt install`.

Personally, I've used (minimal) "normal Debian installs" instead of
Debian Live for that reason.

Debian-standard live image? Doesn't include X / X apps - it's just the
core of Debian - standard packages, command line only.

Default user name is user - default is to use sudo (I think) so sudo su -
will get you a root prompt.

Use one of the other images that have gnome/cinnamon or similar in their names

Hope this helps,

As far as I'm aware, that will only work if the x-window-manager
alternative group is already defined. The problem I was seeing was that
there *was* no such group defined to exist; i.e., such things as the
/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager symlink did not exist.

I ended up using

# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager
x-window-manager /path/to/my/WM 95

where '95' was chosen because that's the priority of the existing
alternative on the system I'm using as the base for comparison.

Or, for more information about the link group, '--query'.

To set the default x-window-manager, you can use:

   # update-alternatives --config x-window-manager

To only see the available (i.e. installed) x-window-managers:

   $ update-alternatives --list x-window-manager

Not exactly - I was looking for anything that would set up that symlink,
without necessarily assuming that every window-manager package would do
it separately. If they do, however, then yes, that list - or at least a
statement that "every window manager sets this up directly,
independently of all the others" - would be the answer I was looking
for.

I actually got to the point of looking for this technique during my own
searching, but hadn't landed on it. Thanks for the pointer!


In the end, a conversation with someone else ended up leading me to the
conclusion that in fact what I hypothesized at the end of my previous
mail is correct: it was set up by some previous package, I adjusted it
to add the alternative for my locally-built but non-packaged WM, and
then the package that originally set it up got removed.

So I've just created it manually on the new machine, rather than dancing
around with installing and removing packages I don't actually intend to
use. It's up and running now.

I take it from the content that I snipped that you're looking for a list
of window managers, and not a technical explanation of how the alternatives
system works.

For a list of x-window-managers, you can use:

apt-cache showpkg x-window-manager

Ignore everything up until "Reverse Provides:".  That's the part you want.

It should also be noted that x-session-manager is used preferentially over
x-window-manager, and some of the things that you might normally call a
window manager actually end up being registered as an x-session-manager
instead.

So:

apt-cache showpkg x-session-manager

Again, ignore everything before "Reverse Provides:".

Perhaps either install something simple enough to uninstall, like
fvwm, or download the same and follow the postinst script.
Basically, installing a window manager installs the alternatives scheme.

x-window-manager alternative missing

What package, or packages, set(s) up the x-window-manager alternative
and define(s) symlinks for it?

I'm building a new computer, and setting up my (Debian-based) preferred
configuration on it, and I've just discovered that there is no
x-window-manager alternative defined; as a result, running startx
results in invoking x-terminal-emulator instead, which brings up X in a
very '80s-looking display and launches a single xterm.

I could certainly just create the appropriate alternatives group myself,
based on what's already in place on the system I'm preparing to replace
with this new one, but I'd rather do this the right way unless there's
no clear viable alternative. However, I haven't so far managed to
identify what the Debian-native "right way" to get this set up is; on
all the previous computers I remember building, once I installed the
usual collection of make-X-available packages - specifically, that I
remember, xinit (for startx) and xserver-xorg - this is one detail that
Just Worked.

I'm guessing that installing any of the various packages which have
"Provides: x-window-manager" might do it, but the computer I'm preparing
to replace doesn't have any of those installed, and still has the
x-window-manager alternative. (I run a WM which I compile and install
locally, rather than via a Debian package.)

If I recall correctly, one of those packages probably *was* installed at
some early point in the original installation of the being-replaced
computer (now nearly a decade ago), so it's possible that installing it
set up the alternatives group and then I just reconfigured that group to
my preferred target, so removing the package didn't result in removing
the group... in which case installing one such package temporarily
should get things working, but it might make more sense to just create

x11-fonts may not be on your system yet.  adding that package may make

O programa não conseguiu obter recursos para rodar, pode ser um bug no
programa, pode ser pouca memória utilizada para o mesmo, dei uma olhada no
fórum do launchpad e um cara postou 2 possíveis soluções:

Thanks for the bug report and the testing. This is a tough one. This is not
a common error, and infact, I have never seen it before. I did some
research on the error, and it looks like an issue with your xorg setup, or
possibly a video card driver issue.

I have 2 suggestions:

1) try disabling desktop effects (although I doubt that will fix it)
2) look for an updated video card driver (probably not in the repository)

If both of those don't work, you might need to post a bug report with
Ubuntu or the Xorg project. I found this same error message being reported
on many different video players (such as Mplayer, Xine, VLC, etc...). So, I
don't think it's anything unique to OpenShot, ya know.

Gook luck!


Um outro usuário falou que a primeira solução funcionou ->
https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+question/75010



Outro fórum pede pra desabilidar o compiz, mas o cara adicionou duas linhas
no xorg.conf:

Hi. It is a bug in Xorg. Edit the file /etc/X11/Xorg.conf. Reach the
section "device" and add those lines:
Option "Videoram" "65536"

Option "Cachelines" "1980" then halt and restart x server

openshot: X Window System error

2016-05-01 Thread G.Paulo
Saudações.

Tenho tido problemas para executar o programa openshot numa instalação Jessie 
num laptop Asus. Busco alguma ajuda entre vocês. Eis o caso: ao comando
$ openshot
obtenho uma longa série de mensagens, codecs e formats e, finalmente, vem a 
mensagem fatal:

The program 'openshot' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 25 error_code 11 request_code 151 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Agora, a parte curiosa: isto ocorre no Gnome e no KDE. Porém, ao rodar o 
programa sob o Fluxbox, esta mensagem não aparece e o programa roda normalmente!

Buscando pela internet, achei várias coisas, mas em geral, neste caso, as 
soluções são sempre associadas a temas do Gnome. Alterando esses temas, porém, 
não dá resultado. Alem disso, certamente temas do Gnome não deveriam afetar o 
KDE.

Um ponto que talvez seja relevante é a quantidade de memória livre. No caso do 
Fluxbox, há uns 3 Gb livre. No caso do Gnome e KDE, há um pouco menos:
$ free -h
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:  3.8G   1.8G   2.0G19M76M   1.0G
-/+ buffers/cache:   710M   3.1G
Swap: 7.7G 0B   7.7G

A instalação em questão é um Jessie:
uname -a
Linux flaminia 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Uma outra instalação Jessie num laptop Toshiba funciona normalmente.

Finalmente, a razão de insistir no Gnome é que o laptop é de uso de uma 
criança. Usar o Fluxbox, nesse caso, seria exigir demais.

 for that was closed. This behavior with Debian is totally new to me. Even my
 former use of earlier versions of Ubuntu I knew did not have things locked

I like that Debian takes security seriously, despite the fact that
I've had problems in the past determining whether a security or
misconfiguration issue was the cause of any grief.

It's very weird, I was testing with DisallowTCP = false in
/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf and it worked, I'm using gdm3 3.12.2-2.1 (Debian
testing). Maybe a bug on gdm3 3.4?

 I want to run X clients on a remote machines and display on my Debian 7.6
 machine. I recognize the security risk. I usually run the lxde desktop. I
 see that gdm3 is starting the Xorg server with -nolisten tcp arguments. I
 read that this can be disabled by editing /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf to add
 under the [security] heading: DisallowTCP=false. I tried this but that
 did not stop gdm3 from starting Xorg with the same arguments. Can anyone
 share any additional information on this? Thanks.

A secure way would be to SSH from the X11 server to the client, example:

   x11-server-this-is-the-screen% ssh -X client-where-app-is-started xclock

then xclock displays on the screen, completely safely and security through
SSH.

However, if you really want to open the TCP port 6000 so as to make your
X11 setup insecure, you simply need to modify

   /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc

and remove the `-nolisten tcp'

If I got right the problem, Kevin has some VM in a grid that need to
send some graphic output to an X Server, and since they are in a grid
I think he has many of them (this is a problem the shell could fix)
they may change (changing IP and such) and maybe he can't even log on
them (hard to fix with a shell script). Sadly an SSH tunnel is not
the answer. He really need the dear old X11 network transparency.

BTW, Kevin. If I remember well, there should be a file in /etc/X11
where X is started with the -nolisten parameter. Did you check this
and did you remove the option?

Running a single application remotely is hardly a justification to
running main Xorg in insecure mode.

Have you tried Xephyr (nested X server)?
What about Xtightvnc?

Both of those listen X protocol on tcp by default, and allowing remote
X clients to run is a simple matter of xhost on their DISPLAY.

BTW, which version of CentOS has such horrible defaults? I'd like to
know so to avoid it in the future.

If you know what you do you can set up things whith an appropriate level

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

2014-08-22 Thread Buchs, Kevin J.
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Though ssh, vnc, remote 
XDMCP, Xephr are all fine for running X clients when there is 
interactive execution of the client by the user, it does not work in my 
case where there is Open Grid Scheduler batch execution. In my case, the 
X client of interest is SAS, but it could be as simple as running 
xclock. SAS needs to run on a remote server, but display locally. I 
can't start it interactively. I'm sorry that many of you don't like the 
constraints and risks under which I need to work, but that doesn't 
remove those constraints.


Previously, I identified the gdm3 configuration file that one can change 
to (supposedly) tell gdm not to run XOrg with -nolisten tcp, though the 
behavior didn't change after I edited the file.


Marc (and Gian hinted at) mentioned that /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc has 
the -nolisten tcp in it. This was as he said. However, editing the 
file did not stop Xorg from getting started with the very same 
parameter. It must be buried in another place, I fear, hardcoded into gdm3.


Brian suggested stopping gdm3 and starting X manually just to see if 
that worked. I did this experiment, logging in from a console (C-A-F1) 
and killing the gdm process. I did this and X was started without the 
-nolisten tcp. It was a partial success. I could run xclock -display 
myhost:0.0, where myhost is my local host name. However, from a remote 
server, I could not get it to work. Yes, I know about xhost and had used 
that appropriately.

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

SAS as in http://www.sas.com - confusing.

When I do a nmap scan of port 6000 on my machine from the remote one it 
reports the Host is up, so I don't think it is blocked. I've used host 
name and IP address to the same effect when trying to run the X clients 
on the remote host.


I might be able to use some other authentication mechanism, like magic 
cookie, but I would prefer to use the traditional X network connection. 
See, I'm a sysadmin working on developing the code for other users to do 
the same thing, though they may not be using Debian, but more likely 
using X-Win32 from Microsoft Windows. It has to just work for them, so I 
would like to develop/test the same configuration on my desktop. There 
are other times where I need to do similar display of remote X clients 
for other purposes. All I want back is my old insecure way of doing 
things, when I knowingly authorize it, like I had under CentOS. But, I'm 
not going back to CentOS.


I did find several of the executables in /usr/lib/gdm3/ have strings of 
-nolisten and tcp as well as other tell-tale evidence that suggest 
the parameter may be hard-coded. I might have to dig into the source next.

If you meant 'one needs to run a remote application via X protocol, so
one should prepare own X accordingly' - one can authorize X client in
his X server, but that's it. After authentication X client can do
anything with any other X client on the same display.

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

2014-08-22 Thread Buchs, Kevin J.

Reco,

I tried Xephr as you suggested. It seems to get around the -nolisten tcp 
choice. Since I will have to specify the display for the remote X 
client, I won't have to map the port, but can just use myhost:1.0 for 
DISPLAY. I got xclock -display myhost:1.0 working from myhost. Thanks 
for pointing out this option. I am still stuck, however, on the remote X 
traffic not getting through to my box.


I'm seeing in kern.log logging of access to port 6000, etc. as I am 
testing from a remote host. It is not rejecting it as far as I can tell. 
I used to know something about ipchains, but I will have to brush up to 
understand what I see from iptables -L to determine if traffic is being 
deflected. At first glance, it looked clean, however.


You asked to which version of CentOS I was referring: it is 6.5, the 
latest version. Honestly, having been involved in computing since the 
first days of X-Window, I can't think of another case where I observed 
the X server locked down. It was always left to the user to control with 
xhost and the default for that was closed. This behavior with Debian is 
totally new to me. Even my former use of earlier versions of Ubuntu I 
knew did not have things locked down.


I have not considered lightdm previously, so I'll have to look into it.

This might not be a good lead, but can you stop gdm3 on your machine, 
log in to a console, start X with startx and see if it works? Maybe 
there are startx options to allow TCP listening? If this works, then 
deal with gdm. If this doesn't work, does it mean the problem is elsewhere?

On my machine, when I start the sytem, I end up at a graphical login

If I login there, I can stop slim (and presumably gdm) and startx from

I'm far from an expert here, but I think when gdm starts, it is starting 
X, so if you login from gdm, I think X will be started with TCP 
listening disabled. I thought maybe that if you started X from a command 
line with startx (bypassing gdm), you could see if that allowed you to 
make the remote connection you wish.


I don't know much about gdm, so I'm not helpful there.

Good luck.

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

2014-08-21 Thread Nuno Magalhães
Search around for XDMCP tutorials.

Your local machine needs an Xserver (like Xorg).
The machine you want to connect to needs a display manager (gdm, kdm,
xdm... i don't think slim supports XDMCP) and the xclients you want to
run.

You'll have no sound. Look into pulseaudio or jack for that.

 Actualización de seguridad para X Window corrige 29 vulnerabilidades

 

Ilja van Sprundel, un investigador de seguridad de IOActive ha
descubierto varios problemas de seguridad en las librerías del
cliente X de X Window, un total de 29 vulnerabilidades en 22
librerías.

X Window es un software que se utiliza para dotar de una interfaz
gráfica a los sistemas Unix. X Window contiene una parte servidor (X
Server) encargada de acceder a los recursos de hardware (pantalla,
teclado, etc..) y una parte de cliente (X client) que se encarga de
interactuar con el usuario.

Los errores son producidos por una confianza de los valores que deben
de ser retornados por el servidor en la comunicación entre el cliente y
servidor X. Se han visto afectadas 22 librerías (de tres proyectos
diferentes) que son las siguientes: libX11, libXcursor, libXext,
libXfixes, libXi, libXinerama, libXp, libXrandr, libXrender, libXRes,
libXtst, libXv, libXvMC, libXxf86dga, libXxf86vm, libdmx, libxcb, libFS,
libXt del proyecto X.Org, las librerías libchromeXvMC y libchromeXvMCPro
del proyecto openChrome y la librería libGLX del proyecto Mesa.

Las vulnerabilidades han sido identificadas desde el CVE-2013-1981 hasta

 Hi Lazaro,
 
 Based on your inputs it may be that the GTK version dependencies may be 
 causing
 this. GIMP works and GTK was built for GIMP, so that's not surprising. Based 
 on
 some reading, it appears that GIMP 1.2.x was built around GTK 1.2
 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/commit/?h=gimp-1-2id=
 61cf583747fbb3b4306bf085b85b1f67e627778c
 
 And you seem to have gtk 1.2 installed in part at least.
 
 As the other programs were previously working, the new GTK errors might
 indicate a change in the libraries? If so, then knowing the versions of your
 other apps would help determine which GTK version they were based on. What do
 you think?
 
 Kailash

Re: Alternatives x-window-manager, x-session-manager

2012-08-17 Thread Eddy F.
Le mercredi 15 août 2012 08:49:29, moi-meme a écrit :

[...]

  donc il faut appeler x-windows-manager et pas kde. Donc revoir le
  lanceur et AMHA il n'appelle certainement pas x-windows-manager.
  
  Je ne comprends pas cette phrase ! Quand tu dis « il faut appeler... »,
  ma question est justement qui est ce « il » ? Pas kdm ni startx qui chez
  moi lancent tous les deux kde alors que mon x-window-manager pointe vers
  enligtenment_start ! Où ce x-window-manager est-il utilisé dans le
  système ? Pourquoi ne semble-t-il avoir aucun effet sur le comportement
  par défaut de startx ?
 
 je m'égare peut-être. n'y a t'il pas dans kdm un choix du WM à lancer ?
 J'ai cela dans gdm. C'est peut-être là qu'il faut chercher

Oui, bien entendu, kdm permet de choisir le type de session à lancer.

Après avoir un peu fouillé, à chaque session possible correspond un 
fichier dans /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/
Par exemple, si on choisit e17, le fichier 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/enlightenment.desktop
contient la ligne
Exec=enlightenment_start
qui ne fait donc pas appel aux alternatives mais directement au programme 
associé à la session que l'on veut lancer.
Cette façon de faire me semble parfaitement logique.

Par contre, dans le choix de sessions de kdm il y a aussi « défaut (dernier 
utilisé) ». Après plusieurs tests, ce dernier utilisé n'est pas correct chez 
moi. En effet, si je ne précise pas la session que je veux, alors kdm me lance 
la dernière utilisée. Si je choisis la session par défaut, kdm me lance 
toujours kde même si, avant, j'avais utilisé e17.

Chez moi, cette session par défaut ne correspond pas à un fichier dans 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/
Par contre, le fichier /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc contient la ligne
Session=/etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession
et ce fichier /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession source /etc/X11/Xsession
qui finira par utiliser le /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup 
dont j'avais parlé plus bas.

En ce sens, on peut donc dire que la session par défaut de kdm utilise x-
window-manager (s'il n'y a ni variable STARTUP ni x-session-manager).

Tout comme startx d'ailleurs puis que tous les deux le font par 
l'intermédiaire de xsession.

 
  -snip
  Quand à la lecture de /usr/bin/startx : quel sac de noeuds ! Aucune
  mention de x-window-manager là-dedans mais vu tous les fichiers sourcés
  ou exécutés en cascade...
 
 +1
 
  Enfin, finalement je vois que c'est dans le fichier
  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup que les choses se
  décident. Si je comprends bien, on cherche d'abord à utiliser la
  variable STARTUP qui autait pu être passée par le DM si on en utilise
  un.
  
  Sinon, c'est x-session-manager qui est utilisé et si ce dernier n'existe
  pas alors c'est x-window-manager.
 
 quand on merde comme cela et que ce n'est pas pour de la production, je
 suis partisan de faire violent : copie de sauvegarde des fichiers et
 modification directe et violente (goret) par des valeurs en dur.

Moi je n'aime pas trop aller modifier des fichiers qui de toute évidence ne 
sont 
pas prévus pour. Après c'est la liberté de chacun de faire ce qu'il veut avec 
sa machine. Moi, mes compétences sont trop limitées pour prétendre arriver à 
mieux sur un coup de tête que ce que les développeurs ont mûrement réfléchi 
(j'espère).

 
 ---snip--
 
 Vu la priorité de x-session-manager sur x-window-manager au
 
  startx, il serait judicieux que enlightenment_start soit aussi une
  alternative à x-session-manager. Non ?
 
 tenter update-alternative --set ?

Ça je n'y parviens pas : 

# update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/enlightenment_start

update-alternatives: erreur: l'alternative /usr/bin/enlightenment_start pour 
x-session-manager n'est pas enregistrée, pas de configuration.

Logique : ce --set ne permet rien de plus que le --config mais le fait en mode 
non interactif. Il faut donc que l'alternative existe.

Par contre effectivement, il est possible d'utiliser 
update-alternatives --install
pour créer soi-même de nouvelles alternatives.
(Mais je n'ai pas le temps d'essayer).

 
  Cette absence est-elle volontaire (pourquoi) ? Un oubli (les paquets e17
  sont sûrement encore jeunes) ? Un bug ?
 
 tout le monde n'utilise pas alternatives. C'est au bon vouloir des
 développeurs.

Alors cela justifie peut-être un bug mineur (à classer dans la wish list).

En tout cas, grâce à toi j'ai fini par comprendre et obtenir des réponses à mes 
questions.

Merci beaucoup.

Bonjour,

Pour installer une alternative vers e17 avec une priorité 90 (par exemple)
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager
x-session-manager /usr/bin/enlightenment_start 90

Ensuite ta commande --set fonctionnera

 # update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/enlightenment_start

Je n'avais pas remarqué ce fichier. En effet, il contient bien la dernière 
session demandée à kdm et l'utilise pour lancer une session quand on ne 
précise pas laquelle on veut.

En me relisant, je ne sais si je me suis bien fait comprendre : l'entrée de 
kdm marquée « défaut (dernier utilisé) » est mal nommée car choisir cette 
entrée chez moi ne lance pas le dernier utilisé tel que renseigné par ce 
fichier .dmrc mais bien la session par défaut qui est finalement x-session-
manager. Cette option de kdm devrait plutôt être nommée « défaut ».

Par contre sans préciser la session que l'on veut, c'est bien la dernière

le rôle des alternatives est d'appeler toujours le même programme 
(éditeur par exemple) pour tous les cas. 
--[moi@cdiscount ~] update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
x-window-manager - mode automatique
 le lien pointe actuellement sur /usr/bin/openbox
/usr/bin/metacity - priorité 60
 lien secondaire x-window-manager.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/metacity.1.gz
/usr/bin/openbox - priorité 90
 lien secondaire x-window-manager.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/openbox.1.gz
La « meilleure » version actuelle est « /usr/bin/openbox ».
-snip--

donc il faut appeler x-windows-manager et pas kde. Donc revoir le lanceur 
et AMHA il n'appelle certainement pas x-windows-manager.

Un man startx et une lecture de /usr/bin/startx peuvent être très 
instructives.

RTFM comme d'habitude.

Re: Alternatives x-window-manager, x-session-manager

Bon, d'abord merci pour ta réponse.

Je précise que j'ai bien compris le rôle des alternatives en général.
C'est le rôle de l'alternative pour x-window-manager que je ne comprenais pas.

Par exemple, l'alternative pour l'éditeur est utilisée par d'autres 
programmes. Quand je lance la commande crontab -e, il sait que l'éditeur que 
je souhaite est vim que j'ai configuré dans l'alternative.

En ce sens, je dis que crontab -e, par exemple, utilise l'alternative editor.

Mais dans le cas de x-window-manager, je ne trouvais pas ce qui l'utilise : 
c'est le sens de la question. 

[...]

 donc il faut appeler x-windows-manager et pas kde. Donc revoir le lanceur
 et AMHA il n'appelle certainement pas x-windows-manager.

Je ne comprends pas cette phrase ! Quand tu dis « il faut appeler... », ma 
question est justement qui est ce « il » ? Pas kdm ni startx qui chez moi 
lancent tous les deux kde alors que mon x-window-manager pointe vers 
enligtenment_start ! Où ce x-window-manager est-il utilisé dans le système ? 
Pourquoi ne semble-t-il avoir aucun effet sur le comportement par défaut de 
startx ?

 
 Un man startx et une lecture de /usr/bin/startx peuvent être très
 instructives.

Aucune mention de x-window-manager dans man startx. C'est le premier endroit 
où j'avais cherché une réponse avant de poser ma question. Malheureusement il 
est bien peu bavard ce man startx.

Quand à la lecture de /usr/bin/startx : quel sac de noeuds ! Aucune mention de 
x-window-manager là-dedans mais vu tous les fichiers sourcés ou exécutés en 
cascade...

Enfin, finalement je vois que c'est dans le fichier 
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup
que les choses se  décident. Si je comprends bien, on cherche d'abord à 
utiliser la variable STARTUP qui autait pu être passée par le DM si on en 
utilise un.

Sinon, c'est x-session-manager qui est utilisé et si ce dernier n'existe pas 
alors c'est x-window-manager.

Maintenant que le fonctionnement est compris, il me reste une question de 
principe qui concerne les paquets e17 et je ne pense pas pouvoir en trouver la 
réponse moi-même.

Pourquoi l'installation des paquets e17 n'installe telle pas une alternative 
pour x-session-manager ? Et il ne s'agit pas simplement d'une querelle 
sémantique (ok je connais la nuance entre un DE et un WM) : on se fout de 
savoir si e17 est à considérer comme un WM ou comme un DE ; le fait est que 
enlightenment_start est utilisé pour lancer une *session* X. Vu la priorité de 
x-session-manager sur x-window-manager au startx, il serait judicieux que 
enlightenment_start soit aussi une alternative à x-session-manager. Non ?

Cette absence est-elle volontaire (pourquoi) ? Un oubli (les paquets e17 sont 
sûrement encore jeunes) ? Un bug ?

Alternatives x-window-manager, x-session-manager

2012-08-13 Thread Eddy F.
Bonjour, 

J'ai beau chercher, je ne parviens pas à comprendre le rôle exact des 
alternatives x-window-manager et x-session-manager. 

J'aimerais des réponses, des pistes, des liens, des rtfm (mais alors quels 
manuels ?)... aux 3 questions suivantes.

Pour info, j'ai installé kde4 et e17 dans ma debian wheezy. Pas gnome.
L'installation de e17 a été faite en utilisant les paquets des dépôts, pas en 
compilant moi même.

1) À quoi sert l'alternative x-window-manager ?

$update-alternatives --display  x-window-manager
x-window-manager - mode automatique
 le lien pointe actuellement sur /usr/bin/enlightenment_start
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start - priorité 90
/usr/bin/kwin - priorité 50
La « meilleure » version actuelle est « /usr/bin/enlightenment_start ».

Mais lorsque kdm est lancé au démarrage c'est bien kde qui est la session par 
défaut ; pas enlightenment.

Et si j'empêche le démarrage de kdm et que je démarre X par startx, c'est 
quand même kde qui est lancé par défaut. Je précise que je n'ai pas de 
.xinitrc ou .xsession(rc?) dans mon home et que ce sont donc les scripts  
système de /etc qui sont utilisés.

Conclusion : l'alternative x-window-manager n'est utilisée ni par kdm ni par 
startx. Alors quand ou par quoi est-elle utilisée ?

2) À quoi sert l'alternative x-session-manager ?

update-alternatives --display  x-session-manager
x-session-manager - mode automatique
 le lien pointe actuellement sur /usr/bin/startkde
/usr/bin/startkde - priorité 40
 lien secondaire x-session-manager.1.gz :/usr/share/man/man1/startkde.1.gz
La « meilleure » version actuelle est « /usr/bin/startkde ».

Vu l'utilité de startkde, je me dis que cette alternative x-session-manager 
sert peut-être à choisir le DE qui sera lancé par startx.

Est-ce le cas ?

Si oui, pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas un lien vers /usr/bin/enlightenment_start dans 
cette alternative ? 

3) Quelle est la manière recommandée dans Debian pour modifier le DE qui est 
lancé par défaut par startx pour tous les utilisateurs (donc sans 
créer/modifier des fichiers .[xX]* dans les home) ?

Utiliser update-alternative ? Comment ?

Modifier des fichiers systèmes ? Lesquels ?

Merci.

Re: X Window: Setting up mouse scroll for OOo Calc to one raw

 I haven't re-read the bug report, but my impression was that someone has
 written a patch, but it hasn't been accepted, and there was dispute
 about it, so there's no guarantee it's going to get in.

The bug report states it is in a review process... but to be sincere, I 
don't mind the patch is accepted or not. The important thing (from my 
POV, of course) is that it can be done and that's enough (again, for 
me) :-)

I don't have the need of increasing the wheel scroll speed, but it would 
be nice to have such option, of course. That's something users are 
requesting a lot...

  It seems to me that if the OP of that bug succeeds, all you'd get is
  _more_ lines/rows of scroll, not fewer - it would still need changes
  in the app.
 Wheel sroll speed is slow (at least with my basic 3 button mouse I also
 barely get 3 lines up/down which can be quite annoying depending on the
 document lentgh). But if there is a patch to speed it up, I see no
 compeling reason for not having the opposite and make the wheel scrolls
 slowly.
 
 The patch allows for faster scrolling by sending multiple events for
 each wheel click. How do you send less than 1 (but more than 0) clicks?

I have not read the patch code but how about by reducing (dividing/
substracting/fractioning operations) the events?

  But I'm inclined to agree with the other view, that the mouse wheel
  just gives button events, and it's up to the app to interpret them -
  possibly referring to a system-wide (or DE-wide) configuration -
  since it clearly means something different depending on the type of
  app.
 I don't share that POV.
 
 IMO, it will be desiderable to be possible to tweak both options: one
 (system wide) that affects all applications managed via Xorg's mouse
 driver and also having the possibility to control wheel speed for every
 application. This will result in a fine grained configuration that will
 suit every user need.
 
 Desirable, perhaps. Feasible, I don't think so. 

In the end it seems to be perfectly feasible:

1/ KDE (maybe because of Qt?) users already have such option
2/ There is a generic patch (evdev) for Xorg to implement it

 It seems to me the real problem is that the wheel just isn't as fine
 -grained as the movement of the mouse - my mouse appears to have 24
 clicks/rotation, and it has no way to measure smaller movements than
 that. So the only adjustment possible is how far per click, and that
 needs to be measured differently depending on whether the app is
 (viewed as being) explicitly line based, the way the OP wants to see
 their spreadsheet, or effectively continuous. And that's up to both the
 app and the user, and changing what happens in the driver can only
 reduce the options for those. IMHO.

I don't understand why you think it's something so hard to get.

Look, I have next to me my windows computer with a tree-button mouse (2 
buttons+wheel) from the same brand and model I use with lenny and using 
the default mouse driver (the one that comes with the OS). 

Okay, so I have set there the mouse wheel scrolls down/up 3 lines at a 
time (whatever-that-means-for-windows) and when I open a spreadsheet and 
I scroll down I jump from raw 1 to raw 3. Fine. 

Now I configure the wheel to jump one page at a time (whatever-that-
means-for-windows), go to the same spreadsheet and scrolling down takes 
me from raw 1 to raw 64. That's a hughe gain for sheets with thousand of 
records.

Yes, yes... windows is windows and linux is linux. I agree. But the 
source of this problem shares the same nature (I can be wrong but I don't 
think the mouse is treated so differently in both systems, it's a very 
basic input device, nothing fancy) :-)

Set them both back to the original value of x-www-browser, then as

IMO it depends. If the requirement is to scroll X number of lines then 
only the application can do it, since lower level subsystems don't know 
what a row is in the application.

I don't think it's a number of lines but speed issue.

The mouse wheel is seen by Xorg as another mouse clickable button and  
you can control the button click speed system wide (and of course, also 
mouse speed itself), so why is so hard to control the speed at which the 
wheel goes up/down? It's senseless :-)

Errr, yes, but the subject is misleading.

We (users) understand things in a different way than computer programs 
do. If we want the mouse wheel to scroll a number of lines (or a number 
of rows, or a number of pages, or a number of...) we say so in a human 
way: Hey, I want to scroll down with the mouse wheel page by page 
instead 3 lines, how can I do it? but that stanza has to be translated 
to make sense for Xorg and Xorg sees speed and not lines.

Just different wording for naming the same thing. And while we are 
discussing about names, the problem still remains :-)

 So what I'm basically seeking is a way for setting the mouse scroll
 to a different value other than three lines at a time. It seems that
 that this is a default value.

There's no such thing as a mouse scroll value in X.  When you rotate
the mouse wheel, it sends a click on button 4 or 5.  There's no such
thing as a fractional click.

This is a question for the people maintaining OpenOffice.org, not for
the X consortium.

That's incorrect.

 in xorg.conf but this setup only the wheel button and not it's speed or
 what that is needed for for setup scrolling in Calc or in other

I understand what you want, however that setting is not part of xorg
(it's at a higher level).

 
 Any advices will be appreciated!
 

It used to be that that scrolling was set from the system wide settings
(default in KDE and Gnome is 3 lines) - this no longer seems to be the
case.  I've just checked on Squeeze, mouse wheel scrolls by 1 line has
no effect :-(

You could try compiling from source after modifying the necessary
event value. From dim memories that'd be EventMouseWheelMoved and
EventParamMouseWheelDelta(?). Best check my memory first ;-p

I suspect the simplest approach is just to remap the down action by
either macro of xbindkeys to the centre mouse button. By default that's
usual mapped to paste so you'd need to disable/remap that[*1].

Being able to single line scroll seems like a reasonable and useful
ability - perhaps file on the wish list[*2]. Though I'm certain it was
possible to change in earlier versions using the system wide scroll
settings - so maybe it is a bug[*3].



Cheers

[*1] It's a system wide setting - not OpenOffice.org

 Yes, or so I think.

 Mouse scroll can be set from X server as well as per application basis, 
 that is, you can set Xorg to use a value (e.g., scroll 3 lines at a time) 
 that will be used system wide affecting all of the programs but you can 
 also set a different value for one application which will affect just 
 that app. Firefox, for instance, can be configured to use a different

 OpenOffice, though :-?

 in xorg.conf but this setup only the wheel button and not it's speed

 I'm not sure how to achieve this. There has to be an option for the
 current mouse driver you are using (mouse, evdev...?) but e.g., man
 evdev returns no option available to control this setting.
 
 From the Xorg.0.log I find these lines:

X Window System on Samsung n210 (Intel GMA 3150)

2010-04-19 Thread Quique
Hi,
I've bought a Samsung n210 netbook, which has an Intel GMA 3150 graphics card.

I've installed Debian testing on it, and KDE 4.4 from experimental.
Unfortunately the graphical interface doesn't work properly.

When xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.11.0-1 is installed, the X window
system doesn't start (I paste below the log I get).
Removing this package, X works (using the VESA driver, I guess), but
the screen resolution is quite bad (800x600).

There is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11.

What should I do?

Thank you,
  Quique

  I think that you'll find that you need to start writing things from
  scratch yourself.  Since debian requires perl (e.g for debconf), you'll
  be better off with NetBSD.  Then, write a program in C that looks at
  every non-binary file to see if what language its in.
 
  Can you tolerate shell scripts?  If not, you'll have to write a C-based
  initscript.  This may be easier on BSD since it doesn't use SysVinit.
 
  Take away the ideological furvor.  It would be an excellent learning
  experience to rewrite, from scratch, everything in NetBSD that is not C.
  It would be very hard with Debian since every time you update, you'll
  have to do it all over again.
 thanks, I got a better choice, the assembly language programmed OS -
 MikeOS, I prefer assembly to C/C++.

 So, to summarize some of your earlier posts: you want to recreate an
 entire OS in C/C++ or preferably assembly, including a replication of
 GUI functionality such as the one provided by X11-based desktop systems,
 and you'll probably want to do this alone because you won't accept help
 from somebody who says that languages that have built-in garbage
 collection, powerful string processing facilities, and ways to express
 high-level concepts more succinctly than C/C++ may be the better tool
 for some (major) parts of the job.  Well, I happily expect the release
 of its first beta by 2050, by which time most of us will have spent our
 lives making *meaningful* contributions in our jobs (apart from other
 even more enjoyable things).

 Your statement that One Microsoft Way would be okay if it was free
 software just underlines that you don't understand what many posters
 before have been trying to tell you.  There are different tools for
 different jobs.  Some of my colleagues love Windows and everything else
 that comes from M$.  I hate it an love Linux because the latter gives me
 more choice in the tools I use and allows me to be more productive.  (Of
 course, there's the whole stability thing and the idealism of free
 software, too ;) .)  Are my colleagues right?  Am I right?  The answer is:
 both.  They chose Windows because it works for them, I chose linux
 because it works for me.  The goal is productivity and using your time
 wisely.

 I know you've claimed before that all programming languages you learned
 so far do the same thing.  So I feel I need to put some effort into
 preventing you from springing this one on me.  At a low level, you are
 right.  They all somehow translate into native machine code.  But that's
 the only degree to which your statement is correct.  Does C have garbage
 collection?  Does it have regular expressions built into the language?
 Does it allow you to pass unnamed code blocks as function arguments such
 as Ruby?  Does it support Common Lisp's notion of a closure?  Does it
 support partial function application as in Haskell?  The answer to all
 these questions is no.  Is there something you can do in these languages
 that you can't do in C?  No - exactly because C and many other languages
 are Turing-complete.  However, many things are much easier to express,
 in a fraction of the lines of code, in higher-level languages than in
 C/C++.  And that saves time.

 On that happy note, I won't waste more time on this and can only hope
 that you'll wake up before you waste your entire life.

Re: any substitute for x window system?

2009-06-24 Thread Neal Hogan


 thanks for your advice! But I have decided to spend my life to develop
 a one programming language system, that's my ideal.

What kind of advice are you looking for? One that agrees with you? If
so, I think you've received it (buried in the mass amount of
responses, no doubt).

1) it possible to install a desktop-manager without python and perl?
  -yes and you were offered various suggestions, but of course
there is X that must be dealt with. So, you can have you wm/de without
a GUI . . . yikes!

2) any substitute for x window system?
   - not at the moment. That is, there are none out there now. So,
you're welcome to develop one yourself/ Although, there is really no
need for one with regard to your project.

3) (In general) is it possible to have an OS independent of everything
non-C/C++?
   - yes (with various qualifications)

Other than that, I see no reason for you to continue this discussion
(here, anyway), for you received responses from many, many folks and
you have not provided any more/new insight into your project. We've
simply read that you have it over and over (along with redundant
advice). You have your ideals and appear to be quite steadfast about
them. Again, I wish you luck.
