 |
|
Hey guys.
I don't know why, but ever since I started using FVWM I haven't been able to open up firefox, or get my torsmo running, or anything of the sort.
It doesn't give me any errors most of the time, but other times it complains about UTF-8 encoding, or something like that.
In OpenBox3, it doesn't give me any such problems. However, in FVWM and Fluxbox, it's no-go.
I have my fvwm configuration set up to open torsmo at start. It doesn't work. When I run torsmo manually from a terminal, I get this:
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ torsmo
torsmo: can't open /home/agrathwohl/.torsmorc: No such file or directory
torsmo: scandir for /sys/bus/i2c/devices/: No such file or directory
torsmo: drawing to root window
|
However, no windows appear. In OpenBox3, they do.
I am getting a .torsmorc error, but I get the same one in OpenBox3 and it still lets me continue. As you see in my fvwm file configuration I am posting, I have it being directed to the different config files I want it to use.
So, here is my .fvwm2rc if it is of any use:
| Code: | SetEnv root-tail_params "-g 415x50+865+974 -font 6x10 /var/log/messages,grey -font 6x10 /var/log/Xorg.0.log,blue,'X.org' -font 6x10 /var/log/emerge.log,green,'Emerge'"
SetEnv torsmo_conf1 ${HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc
SetEnv torsmo_conf2 ${HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc2
SetEnv torsmo_conf3 ${HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc3
SetEnv engage_params "-z 1 -A 0 -T 0 -m 1 -I 1 -i 1 -R 0 -W 450 -H 105"
SetEnv rss_feed1 /usr/share/erss/config/animesuki.cfg
SetEnv rss_feed2 /usr/share/erss/config/gamedev.cfg

If anybody can help me out in this (because it really has stumped me) I'd be highly appreciative.
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!!

Well one of your errors is cause your .fvwm2rc file is looking for .torsmorc in
$ {HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc
and torsmo is looking for it under /home/agrathwohl/.torsmorc
So where did you put it?
I would move it to /home/"your user name"/.torsmorc
Next I would edit your .fvwm2rc file to look for .torsmorc there also
I.E. SetEnv torsmo_conf1 ${HOME}/.torsmorc
SetEnv torsmo_conf2 ${HOME}/.torsmorc
SetEnv torsmo_conf3 ${HOME}/.torsmorc
as for the device thing im lost there too.
try that see if it works |

I appreciate the help!
If anybody can figure out why Firefox won't start (Mozilla will though!) I will be a happy man! 
I will get back to you guys on how the torsmo fix works.
Thanks so much!
-Andrew
EDIT:
I actually don't understand what you mean about the torsmo problem. I am telling torsmo to search under torsmo_conf1, 2, 3.
Here's what I'm doing:
| Code: | SetEnv torsmo_conf1 ${HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc
SetEnv torsmo_conf2 ${HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc2
SetEnv torsmo_conf3 ${HOME}/.torsmo/.torsmorc3 |
later..
| Code: | + I Exec exec torsmo -c $[torsmo_conf1]
+ I Exec exec torsmo -c $[torsmo_conf2]
+ I Exec exec torsmo -c $[torsmo_conf3] |
I want to run 3 different torsmos with 3 different configs, so that's how I set it up - to me there is nothing wrong with how this looks, but maybe I'm just stupid/ignorant. |

I am having this problem as well. I have been using firefox in fluxbox without any problems at all, but in fvwm neither it nor thunderbird runs properly. I get this message when I run them:
No running windows found
(firefox-bin:10349): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
If i do ps -ef | grep firefox it shows it's running but no window is shown in fvwm.
Any ideas? |

I have the exact same problem when using openbox3. Firefox loads but the window doesn't show up. It works just fine in XFCE though.

I "solved" this problem by using devil's pie ("devilspie" in portage) to force the window to appear by setting absolute dimensions and position.
Edit: LOL, or not  It seemed to work for quite a while though, but then it just randomly didn't, just like before. Sorry! |
