Solved: Re: Addition to Re: [e-users] E17 - Current CVS - rendered unuseable
Hey all, in case someone wants to know... it has NOTHING to do with the Xserver or anything E related, at least not directly. My thinkpad has a faulty battery i forget to put out from time to time. Well, recently i noticed that the battery is that much damaged that the os acpi can't read the charge anymore... and it hangs guess what's the problem then? E's battery module. I removed the faulty battery and E responded at once. Just in case anyone want's to deal with this rare case, you now know. thanks for all your help regards Martin -- Martin Hauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG-Encrypted mail preferred, KEY: 0D459A72 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Addition to Re: [e-users] E17 - Current CVS - rendered unuseable
Hi All, i had this weird thing again... and i have a suspection now... it seems that software suspend 2 when resuming, sort of breaks something in the Xserver or in E17 and renders stuff unuseable. After a reboot of the system everything seems to be normal again. I assume that a restart of the X-server would fix it, or maybe a restart of E, but have not tried that yet. I'm using Xorg 7.0.0 from debian unstable. anyone having any idea?

[e-users] E17 - Current CVS - rendered unuseable
Hello Again, after a period of time using e16, i thought i could give e17 a try again. First of all, it's a great set of features that you have implemented in e17 till now, keep up the good work. Sadly, though, the WM is rendered unuseable for me, cause of an annoying bug. If i happen to switch windows, or do something else related to e, it freezes for about 5 or 10 seconds. I can use the programm e focused at the time, but as a person who switches desktops regularily... this is annoying. What Help can i provide to trace down the bug? I'm using debian up-to-date sid on an Ibm Thinkpad R40 with 1.4Ghz, so it's no slow machine.

[e-users] Enlightenment utilizes nearly 100% of the CPU while moving windows
Hello, the last few days i started noticing some strange effect with enlightenment dr17. It started with the fact that i was not able to understand my peer when using skype cause the sound came in only in disassembled parts. It felt sort of strange and after spending hours investigating and having several other problems causing me to reinstall the system from scratch (there were some layout-issues i wanted to deal with anyway). The Problem sadly did not walk away. But it changed. Now after being back with a fresh install, skype was the first thing i tried. It worked like a charm. Then i kicked in my webbrowser and tried to move it to a certain position and then the fun started... it came to the fact that i couldn't have firefox open while skyping without skype loosing _a lot_ of quality. Now this bothered me and i started investigating it further. After a while i found out, that if i put top or htop into a xterm and start moving it around in an otherwise blank enlightenment, the cpu will increase from 0 to 40 up to nearly 100% utilisation, used by enlightenment. If i move the xterm in front of firefox for example, firefox will use the 100% of the cpu not enlightenment. I think this is a bug but i'm not sure whether it is an enlightenment issue. But i was using enlightenment dr17 on the same system for about half a year, including frequent usage of skype and it did NEVER show this problem before. I maybe should add that i don't think the problem with window moveing existed before the reinstall. To make sure it's not some .deb i missed to copy over from the last build, i did a complete rebuild and removed my ~/.e directory, just to be sure. But the problem wouldn't go away. It was still reproduceable. So i spent some more time investigating it. I first investigated that it's not the x-server by coping back my old xorg.conf . Nothing changed. Next thing i thought about was verifying the installed x libraries... again no change. Then i stumbled across the enlightenment dropshadow module. Disableing it brought only slight relief for the cpu. I also made sure that the X-server has not loaded any composite stuff or the like. Okay then, i switched over to another wm (fluxbox) and tried everything from there. The cpu utilisation there was a LOT smaller. It even is smaller on something bloated, like gnome. That's why i'm addressing enlightenment-users mailinglist and not some general mailing list. I spent some hours googling also but still did not find any solution to this. The specs of my system would be: Intel Pentium M 1.4 GHZ 256 mb ram in an Thinkpad r40 running debian sid/unstable I have no idea how to actually prove it's an enlightenment bug and if i should be wrong, sorry for the bother. If i can provide any additional information for backtracing the problem, let me know how and i'll what i can do. Thanks in advanc3e Martin signature.asc Description: PGP signature

As far as i understand it, using the 'cvs' utitility one can also extract the logs from the cvs server. That way the one who's packing stuff, in this case probably raster, would just need a script parsing the output since the last date given. I guess after the finish of my exams (at the 2. of february) i would surely find the time to provide such a script if it happens that no one has the actual time to write it, though i rather belive it shouldn't be that big deal.

Thats in my eyes the advantages of using the 'debian/' stuff directory if you are on a debian machine. Though you could also just build a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 from the tree before starting a new build, so the point of you is maybe a good idea. Hmm.

[e-users] problems building efl since evas change
Hello again, Evas seems not yet to work right, or rather i guess ecore or some other package has not been upgraded to the latest changes. In particular emotion fails to build, but i guess it's just the first occasion in my build order where edje_cc is used as it's the program which's failing. I could be completely wrong though. Here's an excerpt from the build proccess (the errors): make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mh/build/enlightenment/e17/libs/emotion/data' edje_cc -v -id ../data -fd ../data \ ../data/theme.edc \ ../data/theme.edj edje_cc: Opening "/tmp/edje_cc.edc-tmp-Zd1Sxp" for input edje_cc: Parsing input file edje_cc: Parsing done edje_cc: Wrote 520 bytes ( 1Kb) for "edje_file" header *** ECORE ERROR: Ecore Magic Check Failed!!! *** IN FUNCTION: ecore_evas_get() Input handle pointer is NULL! *** NAUGHTY PROGRAMMER!!! *** SPANK SPANK SPANK!!! *** Now go fix your code.

[e-users] Evas_Engine_Software_X11.h
Hello, Just been rebuilding enlightenment from a cvs update and strangely the new Makefile.am and Makefile.in in e17/libs/evas/src/lib/ do not include Evas_Engine_Software_X11.h anymore which is required by ecore for example. Wondering if this is an error or a change which evas is undergoing?

[e-users] e-core compile problems with 4.0
Hello, i've seen several issues building ecore (lot's of spam about different visibility of a real heap of function (all functions? )) which ended up in at the end breaking the whole build process. I assume it was just that certain functions couldn't be seen in the library so linking the test programm against them failed. i though managed to build it without any errors with gcc 3.4. After browsing the source code of ecore libs a bit, i noticed that there are some things with visibility applied, maybe those have been gotten wrong, or the gcc 4.0 is not yet stable enough. Just to let you know, if you'd need a full trace of the problem ( i believe the build process in this case produces only a lot of spam, which is in my oppinion better described in those view sentences above) let me know. the version of the gcc that broke is (GCC) 4.0.3 20051201 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-5) if this is really gcc related then sorry for the bother.

[e-users] (no subject)
Hello, The rebuild of my e17 from cvs has some strange behaviour towards the config dialogs for modules. First of all, removing the ibar module will make enlightenment segfault. Also trying to enable the ibox module will make it segfault. There were some more segfaults regarding this, but i believe the are all related to the dialogs, as enabling via enlightenment_remote works fine for me.

As an note from a debian user, it's fairly easy to get your own debian packages from the libs, e, eclair, e_utils and e_modules (haven't tried others). This is cause the debian/ directory for each directory is already created by the enlightenment crew so you don't have to handle that. Just in each directory of the cvs run: 'fakeroot debian/rules binary' and in the end you will, after successful compilation, have in hand a set of .deb files for ya. > > the second thing is: > > i can start enlightenment as user "muck" from the console > > i can start enlightenment as root from entrance > > but i can't start enlightenment as "muck" from entrance, it seems to > > start but then i get back to entrance again > > > > Anyone encountered similar problems? > > I believe this is a problem with pam configuration, although I'm not > entirely sure.
