2007, 2 problems: switch user and xfce

[derxen]

hello all,

 

I've encountered two problems after installing 2007: first, when i'm in gnome (only desktop installed), and i want to switch user, i cannot open a desktop for the other user, because socket 93 is still taken, and i get sent back to the original user+desktop. I read the errata, but the advice there (add a line to /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf to make sure the x-server is restarteed) doesn't help. Any ideas?

 

[more info: I believe this is the same thing as mentioned in comment #8 at http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24863, the bug report. I use XGL too, not AIGLX. So has anyone found a solution yet?]

 

The other problem is with installing xfce (my favourite desktop) from contrib. Does anyone else get a dependency problem, about a missing xscreensaver? There is no xscreensaver package in 2008, only xscreensaver-common.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

I looked in my package manager and there are more xsreensaver packages:

xsreensaver

xsreensaver-base

xsreensaver-common

xsreensaver-extrusion

xsreensaver-gl

Plus plf has another xsreensaver-gl and xsreensaver-matrix.

Probably you should add more sources or change mirrors.

That's interesting, in the .idx file of the download only xscreensaver-common is mentioned, none of the other ones. I wonder how that happened. I'll substitute the cd's as sources for one of the mirrors. Thanks, dexter.
