[Fink-users] Incomplete Gnome setup - something is broken and don't know how to fix
Hello, after a few years it is time to come back and ask questions (again). :-) Last summer I found out that my Gnome setup was broken, I could not play the game GLines any longer. I know that this will not make you pay attention, the big alarm go off and everyone run around to their stations while yellow and/or red lights are flashing in a daunting way. But it is a symptom of a deeper problem with my Gnome setup and I would very much like some help. Alexander Hansen has given me some hints but it haven't gotten me all the way, and I have a few requests to the Fink community related to this, thus I decided that I should ask here. So, my system is a combination of binary and source packages installed from stable and unstable branch. If a package is available in binary I have preferred that since it would reduce the installation time, if it is too old and/or only available as source package I have selected the source package. If it is unstable or stable has not been of my concern, my experience of Fink, and Debian before that, is that unstable is far too stable to really be called unstable. That was praise if you didn't get it. :-) When I updated my system last summer I saw (I think) a brief message that some images has been removed due to a copyright infringement issue and I could no longer play GLines since all images for the game where gone. I thought that I should wait a while and see if they reappeared but they did not and a few weeks ago I started to dig into the issue and sent Alexander Hansen a mail and asked for help. I'm grateful for the help he has supplied but since he runs a complete system (I will get to this shortly), he couldn't help me very much. I've installed quite some parts of Gnome by now and been googling for solutions but have found none. Zip. Nil. The problem seems to be related to the fact that I have not installed the entire Gnome system, I've installed gnome-games and anything it depends on. This means that I e.g. did not have the Gnome panel. I've installed a few parts but it hasn't helped; I think that I need to tell Gnome to use a specific theme but since I do not have the complete system this fails (e.g. I cannot run the Control Center since it cannot load this or that file etc. etc.). I was thinking of installing bundle-gnome but the main problem with that is that I would then also download *and compile* firefox - something that I've already downloaded as an .app. I do not want to have two instances of the same program! Could someone help me find which packages I need to install so I can run glines from the Terminal so I can waste my time, please? I don't want the entire Gnome package as I will only use it for playing the Gnome games... If I need the whole system, I do not want to install Firefox - I would like to use my installed version of Omniweb instead for help viewing. I had the idea to use the equivs package to make a firefox-system package (I really liked the idea with xyz-system packages that where available in the old days, has that policy been abandoned? If not, could someone please build a generic web browser package that uses the system's default web browser?) - but l then found that the equivs package is not ported to Fink!? Is this a plan or just that someone haven't done it? Please, I have no ideas currently how I should be able to fix my setup, any help is appreciated. All I want is to be able to play glines, I don't want the Gnome panel running or something, I use X11 since the Gnome games uses it and not Aqua. I'm sorry, but I don't know what I need to tell you about my system (e.g. versions of this or that), please tell me and I'm happy to oblige. Thank you! /Jonas - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Fink-users] How to kill xscreensaver?
Hello again, when I installed a few Gnome packages it was decided for me (grrr) that I should install *and use* the xscreensaver. How do I make it go away? If I, e.g. write an email, the screensaver will suddenly pop into action and blank the screen since I have not been using X11 for n minutes. I want to get rid of it but some packages depends on it so I cannot uninstall the package. I could tell it to have a maximum timeout, but sooner or later it going to reach that timeframe too, so it is just a badly working kludge.

Which one should I add my own code in? I've seen some subdirs.el and I can't quite figure out how these are used. When are they loaded and by whom? I would like to add subdirectories in /foo/site-lisp (one of the dirs that is the answer to number 1 above) but will they automatically be added to the load-path or do I have to add code in my .emacs to add them? 3.

There is just a slight problem to the reasoning: If unlink has been used (I don't have the documentation for it so I can't double check) but on Un*x systems in general, a file is not removed as long as any program uses the file or directory. The idea behind this is that a program can create a file in /tmp and then remove it. That way the temporary file will be removed from the system as soon as the program quits - even if it crashes. No more left-behind temporary files. If you logged in I assume your home directory is marked as used by your master process and will not be removed as long as that one is still living. As soon as you reboot or log off, it dies. I have no idea what the problem is, but if this is the problem, all your files will be deleted as soon as you reboot - or more specifically, when you log off. You might maybe, maybe save it by simply cut the power - not selecting power down but simple remove the cord and the battery. When you then switches on, the system will detect a dirty file system, i.e. one that isn't properly unmounted, and run a fsck. I would suggest a couple of hours of searching and asking in different Linux forums. USENET might be an option if you is familiar with it (can be accessed via Google's Groups).

William Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I think I have found out how to use X-windows with multiple users. The X11 session creates a file and a directory with another file in /tmp, i.e., [...] If you delete these manually before logging out, then X11 can be started with another user's account. I am afraid I don't know how to tell Apple OS X to do delete these automatically upon logging out (/etc/csh.logout was wrong). Silly question: I assume you do not do a exec bash in your .cshrc and you do not use any other shell then (t)csh as your login shell? I.e. do you really modify the correct logout file? (I assume so, but it is very easy to overlook the obvious.) Benjamin Riefenstahl had the following to say in the Help: ISPELL and Aqua EMACS (OSX) thread in gnu.emacs.help: --8 The environment for the loginwindow and thus the Finder can be statically configured in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, see URL: http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/BootingLogin/Customization_Techniques.html --8 If you select Show frames, and look at the Customize the login and logout section, there is one solution. I really don't think this is the Right Way, it is a bit of a kludge to solve your problem, but you asked for any advice... ;-) The only other way I can think of, from the top of my head, is to write a wrapper script, which is used to start X11.app, and then waits for it to terminate and then removes the files. How to sit and wait in a good way, I do not know. Applescript? -- ( http://hem.bredband.net/steverud! Wei Wu Wei ) (Meaning of U2 Lyrics, Roleplaying!

[Fink-users] Swedish characters doesn't show in Gnumeric
I've downloaded the latest Gnumeric, 1.0.9-1, after doing a selfupdate-cvs earlier today but a problem I've had since March at least is that in the cells, all text after a swedish character, the character included, is truncated and not shown. The text string is all right in the editing window/line above the spread sheet. I.e. the cell value 'Gullbär is shown in the spread sheet as Gullb but in the editing line as 'Gullbär. As far as my tests has shown, this has nothing to do with the specific font used. Anyone who has any input? I have made an example at URL:http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d4jonas/Temp/gnumeric-test.gnumeric where all the red cells should show a swedish character (å,ä or ö). I use OroborOSX 0.8preview2. -- ( www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d4jonas/ ! Wei Wu Wei ) (Meaning of U2 Lyrics, Roleplaying!

[Fink-users] Re: anti-aliased fonts
Ken Engel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Has anyone got anti-aliased or TrueType fonts working...for anything? I'm not sure anti-aliasing is implemented in X11. Fonts are a recurring pain for X11 and one of the reasons I bought a Mac. It might be so that it has been fixed in later versions of XFree86 and window managares then the one I played around with on my Debian system. In fink, I use OroborOSX and haven't fooled around with these issues. But I think that you in the first place need a window manager that supports it, i.e. use the correct API. But don't take my word for it, it's a wild shot. -- ( www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d4jonas/ ! Wei Wu Wei ) (Meaning of U2 Lyrics, Roleplaying!

If it was a spam, it might be so that the spammer put you up as sender and that is was mor or less sheer coincidence that a list member got the spam. It is not uncommon today that spammers put some innocent on the From-line. Why? I don't know but maybe to get past some spam filters or to trick the truly gullible. -- ( www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d4jonas/ ! Wei Wu Wei ) (Meaning of U2 Lyrics, Roleplaying!
