Hi
Due to race condition in xfce version
I use kernel cheatcode "text" (it disables gdm)
So i had to start X manually (startx from vterm)
In X when i click menu->network->sidux-irc
it asks me for nick but after that only empty window
pops up
Setting -x (in sidux-irc script) shows that problem is caused by line
exec $XTERMINAL $XTERM_OPT "$0 --tty"
maybe it should be
exec $XTERMINAL $XTERM_OPT "$0" --tty
I'm not sure,
but $XTERM_OPT expands to -e which accepts only one param
so what about --tty?
Note that cheatcode "text" is very important here. |

I can't answer about irc,
(...well, you can edit the script deleting " and see if it fixes...)
For starting with "startx",
probably you can start with cheatcode "3" instead of "text",
(it starts in runlevel 3, in text mode, without X)
then you login, and call "init 5" instead of "startx".
It starts gdm... (if race condition is about starting gdm itself,
that you have to avoid gdm, then this is not solution. But if the
race condition is about initial startup of the system, when you
calling "init 5" the other racing condition is already met, isn't it?) |
