Hey all. I've been away for some time (got my fvwm config tweaked
just where I wanted it) and now something has happened.
I recently upgraded to fvwm2.4.14 on FreeBSD, but hadn't gotten around
to restarting the system yet. Then last night, we lost power for
awhile, and when it came back, the system came up great - except for X
and Fvwm.
I narrowed down and solved most of the problems, but now I have Fvwm
starting with my usual desktop and menus, but the menus and any exec
hotkeys don't seem to work. Any time I try to exec something from the
menus, I simply get a message in the log that says:
Abort trap
and that's it. Nothing else. I couldn't even get an xterm up without
going to a tty console and executing from the command line to display
0:0. I can do pretty much anything from the command line, but what's
the deal with the menus?
I have my config set up as follows:
~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc Main config
and the module specific configs:
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmBacker
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmButtons
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmIconBox
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmIconMan
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmIdent
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmMenus
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmPager
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmScroll
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmTaskBar
~/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmWinList
The module specific configs are read from .fvwm2rc as follows:
read ConfigFvwmMenus
read . . .
You get the picture. Anyway, the menus all seem right, so I'm sure
the file gets read, but why won't they work?
My ConfigFvwmMenus file has not been changed for some time, so I don't
think anything could be wrong with it.
A typical dropdown section from it would be:
AddToMenu "MenuFvwmRoot/Terminals" "Terminals" Title
+ "&Eterm" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/Eterm
+ "&rxvt" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/rxvt
+ "&xterm" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
And it doesn't work. I typically use the xterm, but none of the menu
items works anymore. I can't find anything that seems to be related
on the fvwm site, or in the manpages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lou
