GWorkspace doesn't work in Sarge
Hello, all!
I have a Power Macintosh 7500/100 running Debian Sarge.
I have recently switched from KDE to GNUStep/WindowMaker, and I am
having a problem with GWorkspace.
I used aptitude to install "^gnustep$" (without the quotes) and then
remove "kde-core". I have not installed "wdm" yet, so I am using xdm.
When I go to launch GWorkspace, I get a sequence of 15 error messages.
1)"Critical Error in GWorkspace
NSInternalInconsistencyException: unable to contact GDNC server
please check that the gdnc process is running
Ignore Abort"
I clicked "Ignore".
2) "GWorkspace
Application may already be running with the same name
Rename Abort Continue"
I clicked "Continue".
3) "GWorkspace
Unable to register application with ANY name"
Continue Abort"
I clicked "Continue".
4) "Quit!
So you really want to quit?
Yes No"
I clicked "No".
5) "Gworkspace
Starting:fswatcher" (progress thermometer)
(Not really an error message.)
6) "Unable to contact fswatcher
fswatcher notifications disabled
OK"
I clicked "OK".
7) "The mtab parh is not set. Using default value
OK"
I clicked "OK".
8) "The mount points for removeable media are not defined. Using
default values
OK"
I clicked "OK".
9) Same as 1)
10) "Critical Error in GWorkspace
NSRecursiveLockException: unlock: failed to unlock mutex
Ignore Abort"
I clicked "Ignore".
11) Finally, a GWorkspace window appears. I cannot move the scrollbar
or click in the lowest part of window to navigate file system.
(Not really an error message.)
12) "GWorkspace
Starting:ddbd" (progress thermometer)
(Not really an error message.)
13)"Unable to contact ddbd
OK"
I clicked "OK".
14) Same as 1)
15) Same as 10)
I gave up at this point.
Can anyone help sort out why GWorkspace doesn't work? I would really
appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Sincerely,
