I quote from the FAQ:
Some users have been getting odd startup problems, like total lockups.
I cannot reproduce this, and have no idea why. Let me know if you see
this and find a way to consistently reproduce it.
It's very strange; I have fvwm2 compiled on an IRIX 6.2 box and an IRIX
6.4 box, and it works fine. I have just compiled it on a separate network
of SGI workstations. These run various versions from IRIX 5.3 to 6.3, so
I compiled the program under IRIX 5.3 so that I could have a common
executable.
It just locks up when I start the window manager; a screen grab seems to
happen, but nothing ever appears. Having run IRIX's par program on it to
see what the process is trying to do, I get the following:
157mS socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 4
157mS connect(4, <00 01 2f 74 6d 70 2f 2e 58 31 31 2d 75 6e 69 78>...,
19) OK
157mS gethostname(atlantis.bioc.cam.ac.uk, 256) OK
157mS fcntl(4, F_SETFD, 1) OK
157mS access(/.Xauthority, R_OK) OK
157mS open(/.Xauthority, O_RDONLY, 0666) = 5
157mS fstat64(5, 0x7fff25c0) OK
157mS ioctl(5, TCGETA, 0x7fff2568) errno = 25 (Inappropriate I/O control
operation)
157mS read(5, <00 00 00 04 83 6f 24 1a 00 01 30 00 12 4d 49 54>...,
4096) = 40
157mS lseek64(5, -283, SEEK_CUR) = 117
157mS close(5) OK
157mS writev(4, 0x7fff2908, 4) = 48
158mS fcntl(4, F_SETFL, FNONBLOCK) OK
158mS read(4, 0x7fff2b0c, 8) errno = 11 (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
158mS select(5, IN:set=4 OUT:set=4, 0, 0, 0) = 1
158mS read(4, <01 00 00 0b 00 00 00 9a>, 8) = 8
159mS read(4, <00 00 17 71 01 00 00 00 00 3f ff ff 00 00 00 00>..., 616)
= 616
159mS write(4, <37 00 00 05 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 34 00 00 00 08>..., 64)
= 64
159mS read(4, 0x7fff2a2c, 32) errno = 11 (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
It then goes into a loop of thousands of these entries.
So it seems that it cannot read from the socket it connects to. Any ideas
what the problem might be? I can't copy the binary from the working
machines because the location of the modules and default configuration
file is different on this network.
Thanks in advance.
Tim.
