[parisc-linux] XFree86, Gnome on 712/80

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 12:26:19 +0200

Hi all,

To test Xfree86, I install following packages:

xserver-xfree86_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
xserver-common_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
xterm_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
xlibmesa3_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
xlib6g_4.0.3-4_all.deb
xfree86-common_4.0.3-4_all.deb
xfonts-scalable_4.0.3-4_all.deb
xfonts-base_4.0.3-4_all.deb
xfonts-75dpi_4.0.3-4_all.deb
xfonts-100dpi_4.0.3-4_all.deb
xlibs_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
libxaw7_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
libfreetype6_2.0.2.20010514-1_hppa.deb
xdm_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
xbase-clients_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
libxaw6_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb
xutils_4.0.3-4_hppa.deb

On the 712/80 it seems to works now with XF86config file which Thomas
Bogendoerfer used in:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2001-June/012928.html

(I just had to change "repeat_type=ms3" to  "repeat_type=" in /etc/gpm.conf
to make mouse working correctly)

Following this success, I would go further and try to start gnome and so
install following packages:
gnome-help_1.4.0.4-6_hppa.deb

libglade-gnome0_0.16-4_hppa.deb
libgtop1_1.0.12-2.2_hppa.deb
gdm_2.2.3.1-2_hppa.deb

And this gdm failled to start?
in /var/log/daemon.log: ...gdm[..]: Failed to start the display server
several times in a short time period; disable display :0

I well see the server trying restart severall time but without other error
logged elsewhere? Any idea (about the problem or how to log more)?

Against, if I remove only gdm and re-install xdm, I got well xdm login
screen but when I try to login with my user account it failed but I got
severall errors:

1) in auth.log:
    PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_condev.so)
    PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_condev.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory]
    PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_condev.so

Note:
/lib/security/pam_condev.so is not really installed on the system.
On http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages I try to find which package could
supply it but
"Debian package contents search results

FILE                                                       PACKAGE

No responses to your query."

2) in xdm.log:
rm: cannot remove '/var/run/xconsole:0.pid': No such file or directory
ioctl FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument
PEXExtensionInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file  Roman_M

Note:
/var/run/xconsole:0.pid does not exist but well /var/run/xconsole.:0.pid
(additional dot between e and :)

Thanks in advance for all advises,
     Joel

PS: I got the same problem as well as with 2.4.6-pa22 (20010801) as
2.4.7-pa1 (20010802)
