gnome-linuxconf tabs genrate imlib errors
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:50 EDT
in the gnome interface of linuxconf, selecting multiple options causes the tab redraws to be INCREDIBLY slow ... i ran linuxconf from a terminal, and dicovered it was genrating several repeating imlib errors ... they are as follows: Error message from remadmin :IMLIB ERROR: SHM can't get SHM Identifier for Shared XImage Error message from remadmin : Falling back on XImages Error message from remadmin :IMLIB ERROR: SHM can't get SHM Identifier for Shared Pixmap Wrapper Error message from remadmin : Falling back on Shared XImages this pretty much makes the gnome-linuxconf module not very usable
In addition, gnome-linuxconfig rewrites my sendmail.cf file and makes some unwanted modifications in it). For example it removes localhost from the DH entry, so I cant read the POP mail fetched from my office machine.
I can't reproduce the first problem; however, gnome-libs-1.0.14 has some imlib changes in it, so perhaps our next release, which I expect to have gnome-libs-1.0.14 or later, will fix this for you "magically". I've marked this as "NEXTRELEASE" in the hope that gnome-libs-1.0.14 fixes this; if it isn't true, please re-open the bug report. As far as editing sendmail.cf, you can disable the mailconf module and then linuxconf won't touch sendmail.cf any more. linuxconf won't modify it at all in the first place unless you use mailconf to set up an initial configuration, but then it does NOT try to parse sendmail.cf to see what changes you made, because sendmail.cf syntax is rather on the complex side... ------- Additional Comments From 10/03/99 11:08 ------- About the imlib errors: This only seems to happen if you run linuxconf from a non-gnome window manager. (For instance, xinit and twm).
