Title: Several messages on console
Post by: ferran on April 03, 2020, 01:56:58 PM

Apparently I don't have a problem with it but I think it's better to fix it.

So every time i run TC in the console appears 3 several messages:

Obt-Message: XRB extension is not present on the server or too old
Obt-Message: Xinerama extension is not present to server
Openbox-Message: Unable to find a valid menu file "ondemand.xml"

What can i do?

You can run Xorg to get the first two extensions. It's some disk & cpu usage for getting rid of two warnings though. Xinerama is about multiple screens, XKB about keyboards.

Excuse me @curaga but i'm an absolut beginner in TC (I've known for 3 weeks) and I need a it more elemental explanatons yet. So:

1) Which steps I need to follow to run correctly the Xorg to get XRB and Xinerama extensions?

2) Can I ignore all this messages without consequences or they could give me problems?

Thank you in advance.

You need to install Xorg, instead of Xvesa. Only Xorg has those two X extensions.

You can ignore those warnings if you don't use such functionality. You don't need Xinerama if you only have one screen, you don't need XKB if the current keymaps work for you.

All right, then it's best to ignore those messages.

I currently have a very good system on a computer that had to be thrown away and now has a new life.

Let's consider this issue [Solved] then.
