X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 12:35:20 -0000 Hello All: Last week, I did a CVSup on all ports, and then did a portupgrade over the weekend. The portupgrade completed successfully, without significant errors. Now, normal users are no longer able to set their own window manager (e.g. fvwm2) in X, but logging in as root, I can. The user's .xinitrc file has not changed recently, but when the user launches X, all they get is the grey hatched background with a black X for the mouse pointer. No windows (clock, mail, task panel, etc) appear. If I rename the user's .xinitrc file and then start X, the standard 'xterm' window manager loads. As root, the fvwm2 window manager loads fine. It appears the portupgrade changed a permissions setting somewhere, but beings this ran over the weekend, I don't know what setting got changed. Also, X is now reporting that it cannot load 'speedo', that the file doesn't exist. This too began after the portupgrade. When I look for the file in the 'fonts' folder, it is indeed missing. Does anyone know what went wrong, and what I need to change to get things back?
