Mageia forum

Hi,

I don't know if it is the good section for this post...

I've installed the mageia 2 on a x86_64 PC, with gnome only.
After the installation it's impossible to start drak-tools: "Cannot be run in console mode." For rpmdrak, mcc, drakconf, drakxconf,
but in fact every is OK: for example gedit works fine from a root console and the user's X server... $DISPLAY is good too.

Finally I've found the origin in this file : /usr/lib/libDrakX/common.pm
line 399:

Code: Select all

sub check_for_xserver() {

this function is based on xtest external tool, but xtest is not installed!

First I've search for a xtest's rpm for x86_64, I only found Xtest for i586, as expected mcc still failed...

So I forced:

Code: Select all

sub check_for_xserver() {
    return true;
...


mcc starts well now...

Who's the owner of /usr/lib/libDrakX/common.pm? Could somebody solve properly this problem?

Thanks

P.S. very good job for this release, thanks a lot!

You can query to which package this file belongs to via

Code: Select all

rpm -qf /usr/lib/libDrakX/common.pm

and then take a look from what src.rpm this comes from via

Code: Select all

rpm -qi $(rpm -qf /usr/lib/libDrakX/common.pm)

and then you can have a look at http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/maintdb.txt who the maintainer for that one is.
But you can also just report it as a bug: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

Thanks, I add this bug: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6362
