 |
|
When I restart fvwm, it hangs idle (waiting for a click) right before loading everything back up again. While it is idle, it displays a skull+cross (like xkill icon in kde). It doesn't kill any apps. simply waits for a click.
I first noticed it after upgrading from xfree to x.org. but of course i've done some other stuff as well, (fonts, etc.) but my guess is xorg is the culprit.
so, is this normal? or should i be worried?

Hm, I think I know what you're trying to explain but...
Normally, if fvwm finds your config file, there should not be such a problem. Try to use
| Code: | # tell FVWM to use the default X11 icons
CursorStyle ROOT left_ptr
CursorStyle TITLE left_ptr
CursorStyle MENU left_ptr
CursorStyle DEFAULT left_ptr
CursorStyle SYS left_ptr
CursorStyle TOP left_ptr
CursorStyle RIGHT left_ptr
CursorStyle LEFT left_ptr
CursorStyle BOTTOM left_ptr
CursorStyle TOP_LEFT left_ptr
CursorStyle TOP_RIGHT left_ptr
CursorStyle BOTTOM_LEFT left_ptr
CursorStyle BOTTOM_RIGHT left_ptr |
Also notice after upgrading xorg your mouse pointer cursors may be misplaced.

but what would cause it to pause and wait for a mouse click?
Maybe this explanation is better
1. click 'restart' from fvwmrootmenu
2. window titlebars disappear
3. modules disappear
4. 'skull' cursor appears and waits for click
5. click
6. restart as normal

note: the system also pauses when I first run startx
but this occurs after the nvidia splashscreen, so i'm thinking its more fvwm related.
my start function:
| Code: |
DestroyFunc StartFunction
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Test (Init) Exec feh --bg-scale /home/chris/Pictures/wallpaper.png
+ I Module FvwmPager * *
+ I Module FvwmButtons -g 185x259+839+0 AmsnBar
+ I Test (Init) Test (x amsn) Exec amsn
+ I Test (Init) Test (x asclock) Exec exec asclock -12 -p +0+672 -theme /usr/share/asclock/Newstone -noblink
+ I Test (Init) Test (x torsmo) Exec torsmo -x 885 -o -u 1 \
-t '$nodename $kernel\n${hr 1}\nCPU ${cpubar 3}\n $cpu%\nRAM ${membar 3}\n $memperc%\nSWAP ${swapbar 3}\n $swapperc%\n\nUP $uptime' |

Did you try re-emerging fvwm?
Try to copy .fvwm2rc to a backup file and
| Code: | cd ~
touch .fvwm2rc |
And restart fvwm. Does the skull apear now?

If i remove the .fvwm2rc (force fvwm to use default config), the reboot problem goes away. So what is it about my config that is causing this?

I tested with Taviso's config. As I suspected, I got normal results.
What is wrong with my config?

The problem was right here
| Code: | Destroy MenuOffice
AddToMenu MenuOffice |
should be
| Code: | | DestroyMenu MenuOffice |
This explains the hang (the obj MenuOffice doesn't exist) and the skull ("Destroy").

Did you by any chance get a screenshot of the skull? I wouldn't mind having it as a wallpaper  |
