 Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 7:32 pm Post subject: Awesome WM unable to identify .png file[solved] |
 |
|
Hi all,
Last night I finished an emerge -uavDN world on my laptop. I currently use awesome as a WM, but when I run startx, it blanks and then the xorg server quits. To be sure it wans't X, I started
both twm and OpenBox, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I pipe the awesome stderr output to a file and when I check that, it tells me that it can't recognize the format of /usr/share/awesome/themes/zenburn/zenburnbackground.png (my chosen theme). Unfortunatley, I am sitting at work - my computer with said problem isat home som I am typing from memory. I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some ideas from my description, otherwise when I get home tonight, I can post all the commands I use to start awesome as well as exact error output. I also posted to the awesome wm email list, but when they found I used gentoo, they just said why make things hard - try Debian. I didn't appreciate that  and then some suggestions on editing the lua rc file, which I will try when I get home later.
Thanks!

Here are my exact commands:
.xinitrc:
| Code: |
udiskie &
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session awesome >> ~/.awesome_stdout 2>> ~/.awesome_stderr
|
output of .awesome_stderror
error while running function
stack traceback:

E: awesome: main:535: couldn't find any rc file
I am pretty sure the error is not in libpng as I can open the png file above with gimp.

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried enabling png globally? I'd add it to your make.conf because formats tend to go through a bunch of libs and they are not always handled properly. After you set it, emerge -auND world should rebuild everything you need.
This is just a guess based on a similar problem I had a while ago.

| Funny you should mention that - that was what I just got done doing and logging back in here to post the solution. Thank you for replying! |
