Software development / HandBrake segfault?
Last post by TheExplorer -
Hello,

Can anyone confirm a strange behavior of HandBrake (video transcoder) after its upgrade?

It simply doesn't start. If I start it from the console I just get an "Aborted" message. That's all.

Btw, the version from the repo (1.8.2) needs gtk4. I downgraded it to version 1.7.3 (which doesn't have gtk4 as a dependency) and the program starts and works fine.

The problem is that we live in an era of rewriting history. And the problem is not the anti-Semites of Wikipedia, but the fact that fascism is being revived in the Western world. Since the Western fascists have once again declared Russia and the Russians their enemies, they will never remember and will not mention that it was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that defeated Prussian militarism. It is a pity, but the real cause of fascism was not defeated, because as you know, the real nature of fascism is capitalism.
As you know, capitalism is currently experiencing its greatest crisis in history, and therefore the skeleton of fascism is being brought to light again.

By the way, if anyone doesn't know, in Eastern Europe, and especially in the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia), this fascism is being revived at a rapid pace.

where are you pulling wmaker from?

Code: [Select]
curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/windowmaker.tar.gz

Your problem is neither the windowmaker nor the lxdm but your ~/.xinitrc.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#

# Dbus fix
if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ]; then
    eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"
fi

## Executed by startx
## Here LXDE is kept as default

session=${1:-lxde}

case $session in
    lxde               ) exec /usr/bin/startlxde;;
    openbox        ) exec /usr/bin/openbox-session;;
    wmaker         ) exec /usr/bin/wmaker;;
    fvwm3           ) exec /usr/bin/fvwm3;;
    icewm           ) exec /usr/bin/icewm;;
    icewm-session           ) exec /usr/bin/icewm-session;;
    # No known session, try to run it as command
   *                 ) exec $1;;

How does lxdm change the environment for windowmaker?

It would be interesting to know what you have written in your ~/.xinitrc.
flatbush:[ruben]:~$ cat ~/.xinitrc
# Window Maker default X session startup script

PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin"

# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f "/home/ruben"/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &

exec wmaker
