I use kdm and start it as the last thing by adding these lines to the 
/etc/conf.d/locat.start file ...

echo Starting the Window manager ...
/usr/kde/kde/3.1/bin/kdm
So, as you said, everything starts without the overhead of X.

How exactly does it start without X overhead? When you start kdm, you also 
start X. Kdm runs within X. If you look at the xdm init script you'll notice 
that if you set the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm (in /etc/rc.conf), the 
init script does the exact same thing as your /etc/init.d/local.start file.
  Or have I completely misunderstood what you meant?

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Either you have no idea how Linux and specifically Gentoo works, or, you are a 
complete moron. Sorry about the last, but telling people to add kdm to 
local.start doesn't:

a) keep X from starting. kdm USES X.

b) Even if kdm didn't use X, adding kdm to local.start is no solution.

You should make a new runlevel.

# mkdir /etc/runlevels/i_hate_x
# cp /etc/runlevels/default/* /etc/runlevels/i_hate_x
# rc-update del xdm default


Now, when you start your box, X (gdm, kdm, xdm) won't start. If you want to 
switch runlevels do:

# rc i_hate_x

For more info, please got to http://www.gentoo.org/ and read Gentoo's 
documentation about runlevels and init scripts.

HTH,
Norberto

[gentoo-user] Gnome 2.4 starting at level 3

2004-01-23 Thread Kurt Guenther
My inittab is set to just come up as level 3, so I don't incure the 
overhead of an X session that I don't use.  However, after the latest 
sync, the system boots into a beautiful Gentoo Login screen.   How do I 
switch levels on this?

In Gentoo, the run levels are not numbers; they have names like default,
nonetwork, boot, etc.

To check the services available in what levels run

rc-update -s

X (and xdm/gdm/kdm) is not a run level, but a service (xdm). To start
automatically X, you do

rc-update add xdm default

To remove it

rc-update del xdm

Gentoo doesn't use numbered levels but aliases instead. Do ´rc-update 
del xdm´  and check mail archives for further info.

You might want to have a read of the rc-scripts guide: 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml

Gentoo uses virtual runlevels -- have a look in /etc/runlevels/

What I think you want to do is something like this:

bacuhec # mkdir /etc/runlevels/gui
bacuhec # cp -P /etc/runlevels/default/* /etc/runlevels/gui/
bacuhec # rc-update add xdm gui
 * xdm added to runlevel gui
 * Caching service dependencies...   [ ok ]
 * rc-update complete.

And then to change to the gui runlevel type:

bacuhec # rc gui

and back:

bacuhec # rc default

To make init 4 work, go to /etc/inittab and change the line:

4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default

to

4:4:wait:/sbin/rc gui

and you can then use `init 4' and such to change runlevel.

HTH

Gentoo doesn't start, or not-start, X by init runlevels.
If the xdm init script is set to start it will start.
rc-update del xdm/rc-update add xdm default

[gentoo-user] gnome 2.4 logout strange behaviour

2003-10-26 Thread Bryn Reeves
Hi all,
I installed gnome-2.4 last week with no real problems. Up until now, all has
been fine. This morning, the panel started playing up; clicking actions - 
logout would freeze the panel and leave the 'actions' menu button highlighted.

Killing the panel caused it to reload fine but trying to logout had the same
effect. Restarting the whole of X/gdm/gnome also didn't help. After a reboot,
the hanging problem is gone, but gnome is taking a very long time to startup
when logging in, and the logout confirm dialog does not appear until several
minutes after seleting logout from the actions menu.

I've had strange behaviour with the gnome panel in earlier versions, but
normally it's fine after a restart.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Bryn

[gentoo-user] gnome 2.4 questions

2003-10-17 Thread Collins Richey
Starting a new thread. Was Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo's preference, Gnome or KDE ?

 gnome2.4 has been rock solid for me a several weeks now (got it as soon 
 as an ebuild showed up). Have you tried backing off on your CFLAGS (and 
 recompiling)? usually fixes my problems with unstable programs.

-chris (graves)

I've been experimenting with it, and it seems basically ok - no crap outs yet. 
Uses a lot fewer resources than kde.  

I do have a few of questions.

1. When shutting down, gnome 2.4 always produces a dialog box saying
(similar words to these) these applications (all of mine are listed) won't
restart, you will need to restart them manually.  But they lie.  Most of them
restart, but all crammed onto the first desktop!  Is there any way to cause
gnome not to restart them, as it promissed?

2. When I right click and select properties for a desktop icon, I'm only allowed
to select an icon from /usr/share/pixmaps.  Any way to get around this and use
icons from other locations?  For example, OpenOffice has a suitable icon
available, but I can't find any way to use it, so I have to be content with the
footprint.

Close your applications before you log out, and the point is moot.

You can browse your entire file system from the properties dialog.

If I'm thinking of the same dialog box... it's referring to restarting 
the programs in the same instance as they are closed in (e.g. a browser 
opens to the homepage instead of the page last open) Using gnome-session 
you can specified what programs you would like to start when gnome comes 
up; as well as whether or not to save the last session. Choose not to 
save last session and gnome will open with only the programs you specify.

I used to get this behavior (without the dialog) because I shut the

when I started logging out of Gnome, and invoking shutdown from the

[gentoo-user] Gnome 2.4 problem with drawers - bug?

   I'm unable to launch any application from my drawers. When I create 
a new drawer and add a launcher to it, I can use it without any problem, 
but as soon as I restart X, the drawer stops working. I can expand it, 
see its contents and add new launchers, but I cannot click on any of the 
launchers included in the drawer nor remove them. I'm getting this 
behavior since the update to Gnome 2.4. Has anybody experience this?

 There seem to be a number of issues with Gnome 2.4 and Evolution 1.4. 
 For instance, I can do anything I want with email, but Evo crashes on
 exit if I look at the summary page, contacts, or calendar.  This happens
 on both my Gentoo and RedHat boxes. 
 
 I hope the bugs get ironed out so I can spend time with LDAP or the
 other advanced features.

I am also fairly new to portage.  My guess would be that xfree-4.3.0-r3
only has ~arch, and that the depend/requirement was updated after you
did your gnome emerge.

Thanks, that makes sense. Whilst on this subject, is it safe to upgrade
to ~x86, or is this better done during the initial installation?

 The problem is in x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4-r1. Look at the following:
 
 # Need this specific xfree version to get bugfree xinput support (#20407)
 RDEPEND==x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3

Yep, found that. Thanks

[gentoo-user] Gnome 2.4 : Raise window on mouse click

2003-09-15 Thread Lloyd D Budd
Hi,

I upgraded to Gnome 2.4, and I like Select windows when the mouse moves
over them.  Since upgrading, a click on the window does not raise the
window.  I have to click on the title bar or border.

I do not see anything relevant in:
Applications - Desktop Preferences - Windows

Any one else experiencing this (WAD)?  Any solution?

Cheers,
Lloyd

[gentoo-user] gnome 2.4

2003-09-11 Thread raptor
Does gentoo chenge patches default file selection dialog box tia

http://arstechnica.com/reviews/003/software/gnome-2.4/gnome2.4-2.html
.
Anyone who has used GTK+ applications to any significant extent will love to hate the 
GTK+ file selector. Indeed, it appears to be traditional for GNOME reviews to slam 
this dialog box, with its separate directory (folder) and file selectors, and poor 
filtering behavior. Sadly, GNOME users will have to live with it until release 2.6. 
Release 2.4, using GTK+ 2.2, still uses it. While it is a poor dialog box, some 
distributors such as Ximian have patched in a different dialog box, which has also 
made its way into some distributions, e.g. Debian.
