Description Caleb Cushing 2006-04-15 09:52:51 UTC

This application is affected by the rgb.txt path change bug. The Path of rgb.txt has change from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt to /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt in Xorg 7. Please update the application to reflect this change as it cause problems with this application.

Note: aterm will not run at ALL if the file is not present in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt

Comment 1 Nathan Mahon 2006-04-18 14:33:49 UTC

rgb.txt is only loaded from xlib, and is not referenced anywhere in aterm's code.
Are you verifying that putting rgb.txt into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt fixes aterm for xorg7 ?

Comment 2 Caleb Cushing 2006-04-18 14:38:47 UTC

seemed to fix it for aterm and conky on my system. It could find the colors black white whatever that were being referenced so crashed. putting rgb.txt or at least a link to it, in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt fixed my issue.

Comment 3 Caleb Cushing 2006-04-19 00:06:38 UTC

seems I missed something before filing this bugs... I had not updated the path in my xorg.conf 

# The location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.

    RgbPath     "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"

I didn't actually realise this was in there. Apologies for missing it. note: it was the old path. changing it allowed me to remove rgb.txt from the old location.
