ratpoison in RC264

[mimosa]

I posted as a problem not in the RC2 thread because the thing I intended to post about seems like a problem that's been raised before. However, somewhat off topic, let me add that hinting isn't working properly in vimprobable: when I press enter to select the link to type in this form, a full stop appears in the command bar (or whatever it's called) and I can only type by clicking in the box. f to follow a link works.

I installed ratpoison from src and ratmenu from the repos.

The C-t r shortcut to the menus doesn't work, and:

Code: Select all

pistachio[~]$ ratmenu .ratmenu/main.sh
bash: /usr/bin/ratmenu: No such file or directory
pistachio[~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/ratmenu
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12264 Nov  7 18:40 /usr/bin/ratmenu # installed from the repos
pistachio[~]$ ls -l .ratmenu # these I copied over by hand
total 28
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 151 Nov  7 16:54 accessories.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 201 Nov  7 16:54 exit.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 388 Nov  7 16:54 main.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 150 Nov  7 16:54 multimedia.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 208 Nov  7 16:54 network.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 261 Nov  7 16:54 ratpoison.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pistachio users 597 Nov  7 16:54 system.sh
pistachio[~]$ 

Also:

Code: Select all

pistachio[.ratmenu]$ ./main.sh
./main.sh: line 3: /usr/bin/ratmenu: No such file or directory

Are you sure you have the correct architecture package installed?

[mimosa]

Which package? ratpoison or ratmenu?

I installed both from slapt-* so I should think yes.

Off topic, I've had a couple of crashes. I can't remember what I was doing when the earlier one or two occurred, but I don't think I 'd started trying to install ratpoison yet. Here is some output from the latest. I was using ratpoison, and then somehow dumped back at the llogin screen. screen -DRR recovered these messages:

Here's what twapake says I did after installation:

Try:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/bin/ratmenu
file /usr/bin/ratmenu

[mimosa]

Code: Select all

root[pistachio]# ls -l /usr/bin/ratmenu
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12264 Nov  7 18:40 /usr/bin/ratmenu

root[pistachio]#

You're right. In fact I'd already had a look at bash history (since ratmenu didn't appear in twapake's list) and see that I stupidly copied the binary from a 13,37 32-bit install. ratmenu isn't in the current repos yet, is it?

In any case, the time for testing this stuff will be when the ratposion edition is prepared. I was just trying to find a way of making the RC my normal working environment for testing.

Those crashes I experienced are worrying, if they are not due to the incorrect ratmenu binary. I'll delete it and keep testing.

ratmenu isn't in the current repos yet, is it?

Not yet.

[mimosa]

I've built ratmenu myself, but can't get rpexpose to work. Can you point me to your 13.37 package? I couldn't find packages for these, and indeed there's some sort of metapackage, isn't there?

ratmenu and rpexpose are included in the ratpoison package in 13.37.
