Re: [opensuse] awesome window manager? Where?
Hi Mark,

I don't consider having to reinstall the 12.1 release a problem, it is
just easier for me to start again then to send out a lot of messages to
the list trying to get a problem fixed. I want to thank you for
providing the repository, and I look forward to when you get the bugs
worked out so I can use awesome and pekwm.

I am using awesome daily and even if there are small issues none effects
the usability of it.

I did try to install awesome and pekwm on a second computer, a desktop
that I have here at home. I had the same results as I did on my laptop,
neither will start and after crashing I end up back at the login screen.

Since you do not mind reinstalls here is what you can do revert back to
original X11 related packages DO NOT install anything from my repo. Due
to changes in X11 packages currently the X11 packages from my repo are
not safe !!!

Uninstall all awesome and related packages and reinstall X11 packages
from 12.1 ONLY

fontconfig
libcairo-gobject2
libcairo2
libfreetype6
liboocairo0
libstartup-notification-1-0
libxdg-basedir1
luasec
oocairo
xorg-x11-libxcb-utils
xorg-x11-libs
libqt4 and related


Once you have a working system install pekwm, only AFTER you had a look
at the website and understood what it looks like

If you have come that far let me know before even considering to install
awesome or anything from my repos


So if there is some data that I may provide you to help you figure out
what is going wrong, please ask and I will try to send it to the list
for your consideration.

Without information I can not help. No .xsession-errors or X.org.log or
messages or warn someone has to bark somewhere there can not be a case
of all goes /dev/null
