Debian Multimedia :: Can't Start Openbox - No Errors

Jan 24, 2016

I asked the question on LQ, but since activity related to Debian there is smaller, it is here.

I can't start Openbox, using xinit or startx. I have a warning when using xinit:

Code: Select all***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :

This program is calling the Imlib call:

    imlib_context_free();
    With the parameter:
    context
    being NULL. Please fix your program.

I don't have dbus, display managers, X is started on tty3 because I reduced the number of ttys. In xinitrc there is

Code: Select allexec openbox-session

I see a cursor appearing for a second, but then the screen goes back to tty.

The problem is new; I'd been using Openbox for a couple of months back then, and it was fine.

System is Unstable.

Debian Multimedia :: Autostart.sh In Openbox?

May 23, 2011

When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox-session My displays will turn off like there is no video output. I cannot switch to a TTY (or at least there is still no video when I try). I can however ssh into the machine. Alt+SysRq+K does not seem to kill the X session, but Alt+SysRq+B will reboot the machine.When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox and I manually run sh .config/openbox/autostart.sh everything seems to go smoothly. I really don't understand the discrepancy.

#!/bin/sh
sleep 3s;
xsetroot -solid "#303030"

Debian Multimedia :: Gnome - Openbox Hybrid ?

Dec 30, 2010

Is it possible (without too much difficulty) to have an Openbox/Gnome desktop?

Since Gnome is a full desktop environment and Openbox is only a Window Manager.

Use the Gnome DE and have Openbox WM, instead of Metacity or Compiz? (with Ob Config & Menu included)

I know it won't be near as light as a straight Openbox, but it would add Ob convenience to Gnome DE. What do you think? Work-arounds?

On a small partition I have LinuxMintDebian 'testing' (Gnome) x64 ... can I 'add' Openbox? Not replacing anything except the WM?

Debian Multimedia :: Binding Scripts To Keys - Will Openbox Not Allow For Scripts To Be In The Rc.xml File

Sep 11, 2011

I'm using Openbox, and I'm working on some scripts to automatically change several things at once (wallpaper, theme, idesk icons, wbar, etc), and I've started with a simple script for changing the wallpaper. I have three different scripts, each one connected to a different wallpaper. The scripts are in my /usr/bin file, so I just have to type the script name and it goes. Trouble is, I've tried assigning it to a keybinding in Openbox's rc.xml, and I can't seem to get them to work.

Here's one of them:

<keybind key="C-F10">
<action name="Execute">
<command>steampunk</command>
</action>
</keybind>

It's supposed to make it so I type ctrl+F10 to switch to a steampunk wallpaper I have. I can do the script from the command prompt, but I can't get the keybinding to work. Anybody know why? Will Openbox not allow for scripts to be in the rc.xml file?

General :: Make Openbox Automatically Start To Use A Specific Gtk Profile?

Jul 7, 2010

I have switched to openbox from Gnome and would now like to stop using Metacity altogether. When I was using metacity I had both a control theme (e.g. gtk theme) and fonts set up how I liked them in gnome-appearance-proporties. When Openbox starts, it gets my window borders up properly (ofc.) but fails to render my fonts properly and uses the wrong gtk theme. I can't find anywhere to specify which gtk theme to use or what method to render my text with. After Openbox is finished doing it's thing, and I run gnome-apperance-properties manually, it will automatically set everything to it's proper value, but I don't want to have to do this as it takes several seconds to preform and I'd rather not have it jury rigged like this.

Debian Multimedia :: Can't Install Nvidia-glx Without Getting Apt Errors ?

Jul 11, 2011

I'm using Debian Wheezy on amd64 using the binary nVidia drivers from the Debian repository. When I started up my computer yesterday, everything worked fine. Then I started installing a bunch of updates going back a week since I had it turned off for a week. This seems to have messed with my nVidia drivers. I could run GNOME at 1080p just fine, but I couldn't run prboom-plus or glxgears since they would give me errors about not being able to find a screen. Strangely enough, Wine could run both Proun and Bulletstorm without a problem.

I looked at synaptic and tried to install nvidia-glx to solve my driver problems, but it gave me an error about not having the correct version of libgl1-nvidia-glx. I try installing that and it wants to remove 140 programs first! Of course I refuse to let it do so. Then I figure it might have to do with some other program that these programs are dependent on. So I check the package dependencies and lo and behold, they all require libgl1-mesa-glx. I try removing that and synaptic also says that I have to remove those 140 programs with it. I give up and try playing the Half-Life 2 demo via Wine. When it hangs I restart my computer. However, while rebooting, I got this nice error message from X that said that apparently I don't have any nVidia drivers anymore.

I would prefer not to use sgfxi to do driver updates. One of the reasons I switched to the repository's drivers is because I was tired of having to reinstall my drivers every time there was a kernel update in testing.

Tried using vesa in xorg.conf, it also didn't work. Detailed X output said something about being able to find a screen but it wasn't usable.

Debian Multimedia :: On Resume X Server Exits With Errors

Oct 2, 2015

I have new hardware (Nvidia Geforce GTX 960) which required new drivers. I'm running jessie but had to install the driver version 352.30 from the experimental repo. Everything seems to work fine, except after a suspend. On resume, the X server exists with errors, and I'm dropped back to the Linux console.

I've done a fair amount of searching, but the problem most people seem to have is corruption or black screen. I'm getting something equally annoying but less severe: I just get dropped back to the shell, but as soon as I restart the X server with startx everything continues to work... until the next suspend.

My full Xorg.0.log is at [URL] .... . Here are the errors that appear after the suspend:

Code: Select all[  1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: disconnected
[  1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: Internal DisplayPort
[  1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: 960.0 MHz maximum pixel clock

Debian Multimedia :: Continue Apt-get Install Ignoring Errors

Is it possible with some command line options? I've tried 'apt-get -f install' 'apt-get -m install gnome' and various combinations thereof.

(Error I see is 'dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt).

Debian Multimedia :: Wodim - Writing Erasing Errors In K3B

Nov 12, 2010

I've been running Lenny for quite a while and have always been plagued by strange CD writing/erasing errors in K3B. I also tried erasing my CDRWs using wodim from the command prompt but had erratic results there also. I was researching these problems on Google recently and finally found a solution as well as an explanation of the cause of all the difficulties. Go here [URL], do some reading and then download/install cdrtools-3.00 from the link on the main page. The package did all the work for me including updating the default programs in K3B - now everything works as it should. I sincerely hope Debian will reconsider the trouble-prone fork of the original cdrecord (wodim) and make Jorg Schilling's excellent cdrecord the package of choice for future releases of Debian.

Debian :: Openbox As VNC Desktop On Headless Server?

May 15, 2015

I'm currently using the default Gnome desktop environment on my server when I connect via VNC, but I've been trying to Openbox on Crunchbang lately and I rather prefer it for being so light. I'm a relative noob and don't want to cock anything up - what's the simplest way to switch to the Openbox environment for when I connect via VNC, and once that's working, whats the safest way to remove Gnome?

Debian :: Cannot Set Halt And Reboot Options To Openbox Menu

Jun 10, 2010

I can't seem to get the options halt and reboot working in my openbox right-click menu. I've tried following the guide here from post #11, where the code he says to use in the /etc/sudoers file is:

%users  john=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown -h now, /sbin/shutdown -r now

...but I can't seem to get it to work on my end. In obmenu, I have for halt, to run "sudo halt" and for reboot, "sudo reboot" but they only work after I've already entered my sudo password, such as when I work with terminal to edit a config file.

After doing a aptitude full-upgrade I no longer have the Debian menu showing in the Openbox menu. According to Obmenu, Debian is listed; it's just not showing when I right click. The upgrade brought a new version of Openbox so I assume that has something to do with it.

Debian Multimedia :: KDE Will Not Start

When I login in the kde login in screen starts, but then I hear a beep and it freezes. If I hit ctrl-alt-f2 and log in and then type startx, a blinking curser appears and nothing happens.I am trying to set up VirtualBox to run Windows 7 and I am having trouble getting some usb devices to be recognized in Windows. I tryed following the advice of this link URL...After I added the group vboxusers to my user account and restarted the computer, this problem started.

I ran the command Code: Select alldeluser jrchristophel vboxusers, and I get the response back Code: Select allyou may not remove the user from their primary group.

The other things I did that might have caused this problem was that I installed virtual guest additions for VirtualBox, and one other addition that was needed for the USB functionality with in VirtualBox. I can't remember the name of that which I installed.I have looked at some of the logs in /var/logs.

Debian Multimedia :: Can't Start X On Old Dell

Dec 29, 2010

My room mate is trying to use an old Dell he has as a print server. After much twisting his arm, I was able to convince him to go with Debian, which, I would install. I used a 5.0.4 Net Install CD I had, and included Desktop Environment (he needs a GUI), and Print Server. Basically, as usually happens when I install Debian, I am having trouble getting X to work. Heres what the errors look like after X fails:

Ring End Space: 24 wanted 32

Fatal server error: lockup

Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections giving up.

xinit: Connection reset by peer (errno 104): Unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error

Debian Multimedia :: Cannot Get X To Start (or Even To Configure)

Nov 21, 2010

I have been trying to install Squeeze from the 6.0.1a KDE CD-1 plus the Debian repos. I just cannot get X to work. I get similar bad results to those mentioned by other users having similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes works.

Basic hardware information:
Desktop PC, whole 40 GB disk used for install
Graphics card: none Video controller on motherboard: VIA Technologies S3 UniChrome VGA controller (about 8 years old)
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 1280 x 1024 (about 8 years old)

Some things I've already tried: in rescue mode, as root, in /etc/X11X -configuremove file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf basically everything mentioned in threads in past two months regarding users who cannot get X to work reinstalling 100x with every choice for the installer I can think of

What happens: when doing the install, contrary to expectation, I am never prompted for any of the hardware information which the documentation at debian.org says I should have on hand (is that a good sign or a bad sign?)

No matter how I try to do the install,I always seem to get a nongraphical installation, so I try this: as root:apt-get install xorg in /etc/X11X -configthen move generated file (which looks like X didn't try to create an actual configuration file) to /etc/X11/xorg.config as non-root user:startx I get black screen (or a tiny tiny konsole at upper left) and system hangs

How can I tell whether this an X misconfiguration? How can I fix it? How can I tell whether I simply need a driver? Where do I look? How can I tell whether my hardware is simply incompatible with Squeeze? What do I need to replace? Do I need to get a new monitor in order to use Squeeze? Do I need to buy a new motherboard with newer video controller? Do I need to buy a graphics card? Which?
