[opensuse] wine without X
On Linux I build packages for a number of platforms. This includes windows. I use the INNO Setup Compiler to make Windows installables. I run it from a Makefile that in turn runs wine. INNO can run in a command line mode designed specifically for doing this type of build on Windows systems. It works equally well on the Linux command line via wine. So far, so good. No problems. Sometimes when I do a build, X is not running. I am setting up a continuous integration system, and there is a good chance that X may not always be available. The problem is that wine insists on a display device. X, for example. If X is not running, I get this error from wine: X Error of failed request: XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled Major opcode of failed request: 129 (XFree86-VidModeExtension) Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines) Serial number of failed request: 85 Current serial number in output stream: 85 I think the exact error is not too important. The point is it wants to access X. However, it will not be making any windows, or need to read from an input device. So I would imagine that some sort of virtual display would suffice. Is it possible to have wine either (1) not try to access a display device, or (2) use some sort of virtual frame buffer that can be set up in a Makefile? Any pointers would be appreciated. (My eventual solution is InstallJammer, where I can define packages once and make them for multiple platforms. Our current Linux installer is an in-house job that uses Tcl/tk. InstallJammer is also Tcl/Tk, so our install scripts can be kept.) -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

I used the virtual framebuffer X server with Wine successfully: Replace :1 by :x of a free x server slot. Xvfb :1 & export DISPLAY=:1 metacity & # not really necessary wine fooapp.exe Atfer being done just kill the Xvfb.

Kopete can chat with facebook? I have to try this. The browser pop-ups are a PITA... Thanks for the incidental pointer. Any tricks to do this? Or is it something that just works? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Or is it something that just works It used to be that it needed a special plugin (look for kopete-protocol-facebook in KDE:KDE4:Community or KKFD) but just recently Facebook actually converted to using Jabber/XMPP for chat. So any Jabber client can actually do Facebook chat quite well, including Kopete.
Instructions to set up clients are at http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When I see this, I seem to recall having this question long ago. And this answer. Perhaps it is just Deja Vu. Or age... I will see how to fit this in a Makefile rule. Probably an external script wrapper. Thanks
