MC, Xorg and wbar

[bmarkus]

Adding to MC

• Xvesa.core
• Xlibs.core
• Xprogs.core

and adding the minimalist windowlab WM which is only 16k I get a working WM running after boot as expected, which is great.

Replacing Xvesa.core with Xorg-7.4 and its dependencies it doesn't start; startx gives the following messages:

tc@box:~$
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar': No such file or directory
chown: /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar: No such file or directory
chown: /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar: No such file or directory
tc@box:~$

Result is the same using noicons boot option.

True, wbar is not installed on purposes. But why is it required with this setup?

It shouldn't be, actually the error shows up when using Xvesa as well, but not stopped.
I found the source and it is now fixed for 2.5rc1.

As a temporary work around, when dumped back to the shell try the following:
$ sudo rm /etc/sysconfig/icons
$ startx

Thanks, excited to see what 2.5 will offer, Can you give a brief intro to 2.5 goals in a separate thread?
