Xephyr Xchat kindle touch

[twobob]

Here's the stuff I dragged out of debian

x11vnc

xchat

Xephyr

blackbox

You can run it outside debian via Xephyr - will patch the title RSN.

The files expect you have some knowledge of what you are doing - no installers or friendly howtos here...

If I missed a file let me know.

You would want matchbox-keyboard too I imagine...
may tidy this all up.

EDIT: OKAY AFTER LIKE A BAZZILION YEARS>>> I found the error that stops Xephyr running...

LibXfonts.so.1 needs to be the one I have attached.

: ) YAY!

I linked /mnt/us/usr to /mntususr but it still pops up with font errors

root@kindle:/mnt/us# ./xephyr

P.S The launch comand is in the script /mnt/us/xephyr

[twobob]

Okay this is the 2nd time someone said they couldn't work out how to specify fonts to Xephyr so this time I thought I would try it AGAIN myself...

The following info is specifically if you use my horrible "make /mnt/us look like it is really in the root" HACK...

Spoiler:

FIRST: well the error you posted is worrying:

Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/, removing from list!

Since that is actually one of the folders in the zip... (I just checked)
you positive you linked it right...???
because as I outline at great length below I don't see how that could be the case...

I actually went off and checked mine (after a recent update cleared my rootfs)
So I DONT have the link...

are the fonts there?
[root@kindle root]# ls /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/

100dpi 75dpi Type1 encodings util

yes

is the link there?
[root@kindle root]# ls /

bin
dev
etc
lib
log
mnt
opt
proc
sbin
sys
tmp
usr
var
who

No

Let's try running it...
[root@kindle root]# Xephyr :1

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/kindle:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/misc/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/OTF/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/, removing from list!

That looks familiar... (note mine doesn't actually fail but anyways)

So... Let's link it up.

[root@kindle root]# mntroot rw

system: I mntroot:def:Making root filesystem writeable

[root@kindle root]# cd /
[root@kindle /]# ln -s /mnt/us/usr mntususr
[root@kindle /]# mntroot ro

Let's check it's really there
[root@kindle root]# ls /

bin
dev
etc
lib
log
mnt
mntususr
opt
proc
sbin
sys
tmp
usr
var
who

And give it a test...
[root@kindle /]# ls -al /mntususr/

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 8192 Feb 8 16:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 57 root root 16384 Mar 5 13:30 ..
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 16384 Mar 2 04:06 bin
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 8192 Feb 1 14:22 include
drwxr-xr-x 56 root root 32768 Feb 8 16:08 lib
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 8192 Dec 24 04:40 local
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8192 Feb 8 15:48 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 8192 Feb 1 14:22 share

Seems like it really does point to the other place...

Now let's try that other test again...
[root@kindle /]# Xephyr :1

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/kindle:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/misc/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /mntususr/share/fonts/X11/OTF/, removing from list!

Hmm which is what I would expect your result to say if you really did link it up right and put the files on...

So maybe fix that up first...


Now I actually DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHY THIS WORKS on mine sigh...
Memory fail... IIRC I just put an entry to 'fixed' in one of the fonts.alias files...
So I no longer need all this links and stuff...

but anyways.. Let's do it the long way round... Just to check... if the errors go away

reading Xephyr --help... we can specify the font path with fp anyway

Like:
-fp /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/ (The sub-folder not the X11 one)

and we can give a font name

-fn "lucidasans-bolditalic-8"

Assuming we do that right...

[root@kindle /]# Xephyr :1 -fp "/mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" -fn "lucida
sans-bolditalic-8"

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/kindle:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

A totally smaller set of of "warnings" and it starts up fine.

Let's now try to break that...
[root@kindle /]# Xephyr :1 -fp "/mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/StupidPath" -fn "D
umbFont"

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/kindle:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
[dix] Could not init font path element /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/StupidPath, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'DumbFont'

SO.

we want: [root@kindle /]# Xephyr :1 -fp "/mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" -fn "lucidasans-bolditalic-8"

and if we want to see want fonts we can use...

[root@kindle /]# cat /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/fonts.alias | awk '{print
$1}' | tail -n +4

lucidasans-bolditalic-8
lucidasans-bolditalic-10
lucidasans-bolditalic-12
lucidasans-bolditalic-14
lucidasans-bolditalic-18
lucidasans-bolditalic-24
lucidasans-bold-8
lucidasans-bold-10
lucidasans-bold-12
lucidasans-bold-14
lucidasans-bold-18
lucidasans-bold-24
lucidasans-italic-8
lucidasans-italic-10
lucidasans-italic-12
lucidasans-italic-14
lucidasans-italic-18
lucidasans-italic-24
lucidasans-8
lucidasans-10
lucidasans-12
lucidasans-14
lucidasans-18
lucidasans-24
lucidasanstypewriter-bold-8
lucidasanstypewriter-bold-10
lucidasanstypewriter-bold-12
lucidasanstypewriter-bold-14
lucidasanstypewriter-bold-18
lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24
lucidasanstypewriter-8
lucidasanstypewriter-10
lucidasanstypewriter-12
lucidasanstypewriter-14
lucidasanstypewriter-18
lucidasanstypewriter-24

I hope that finally puts paid to "how do I use Xephyrs fonts..." and how do I fix the "fixed" font error.

Cheers.

[aditya3098]

Yeah, I DID link them right.
Still pops up with the error

[twobob]

uh hu...

/mnt/us/xephyr :1 -fp "/mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" -fn "lucidasans-bolditalic-8"

what does that give? as in the exact output?

come on dude...

That's got the be the least effusive answer ever.

I have the fonts unpacked from Place-the-contents-on-the-drive-as-indicated.zip (17.21 MB, 12 views) at the correct location: I can cd right to the 75dpi and see the fonts there. Not sure why this works for you and not me? Any guess, please?

Ditto

[twobob]

Sigh... Stupid thing.

I'll throw out the EXACT one I use FROM THE DEVICE. perhaps that will help.


I also have bundled the other file (pictured)

And here is the exact command I use to start with ZERO errors

/mnt/us/Xephyr-5 :1 -title "L:A_N:application_ID:xephyr_O:R_PC:N" -screen 800x600 -cc 4 -dpi 135 -nolisten tcp -fp "/mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" -fn "lucidasans-bolditalic-8"


Both these files expect to live on /mnt/us in this case

*crosses fingers*

[twobob]

well.. that reads like you dont have a /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi folder...

Do you?

[twobob]

its not something stupid like line endings is it?

The old way I used to export stuff off of the touch had a nasty habit of making dos line-ending...

I'll rip out that folder now using my new method..

That work?

expects to live as pictured... (obviously not as a zip... That's the picture of the zip I made ON THE DEVICE) unzip it into /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts

[aditya3098]

I dunno, but I downloaded it on debian, extracted on debian and transferred via debian. No chance of me messing up.

[twobob]

I upped the fonts dir.

? any joy.
