Re: locales
Hi,
When I /bin/su root and killall xa or xa+cv, I get the message "no process
killed" from the system. However, when I killall cv, X goes away and I am
back in pure console.
Further, when I dpkg --purge xa+cv, this seems to 'wreck' my X
configuration. startx dies ... I haven't looked into the details *yet,* I
simply reinstalled xa+cv.
I've been trying to get to www.debian.org this afternoon to try and pick
up some info on the xa+cv. In the meantime, I've attached my current
environment variable list, which seems to include some assorted things set
by xa ... if anyone can shed any light on this situation (why xa --
or is it cv?) seems to be interfering with X in this way, and how to
permanently remove these from my environment, I would be grateful. I will
also check in the #debian channel about some of this.
