Bug 134941 – xprint environment not initialized by Xsession

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Timothy Stotts 2006-05-30 11:30:40 UTC]

Considering 'xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1', the following session script does not work correctly on Gentoo systems:

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/92xprint-xpserverlist.sh

It assumes that /etc/init.d/ services are processed by /bin/sh, and thus fails to setup the environment for xprint.

proposed patch for Gentoo systems

[Comment 2 Timothy Stotts 2006-05-30 11:32:55 UTC]

Also, I think that this script is only installed when xorg-x11 is merged with USE="xprint".

Could you provide a patch against the unpacked source, please?

fix scripts, patch against unpacked ebuild

Fixes three (3) session scripts to properly use /etc/init.d/xprint to set XPSERVERLIST.  Tested both the /bin/sh and /bin/csh scripts.

Source were extracted with:
# sudo -u portage ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1.ebuild unpack

Xprint guru, your opinion?

[Comment 6 Ed Catmur 2006-06-24 03:54:14 UTC]

"Guru". Heh.

That'll work, yeah; it might be simpler to use `/usr/lib/misc/xprint get_xpserverlist` (which is what xorg-server has).

[Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-09-24 01:07:08 UTC]

Is there a final patch here?

[Comment 8 Ed Catmur 2007-01-28 03:15:59 UTC]

This is done with a sed stanza:

	# Patch profile scripts
	sed -e "s:/bin/sh.*get_xpserverlist:/usr/$(get_libdir)/misc/xprint \
		get_xpserverlist:g" -i ${D}/etc/profile.d/xprint* \
		${D}/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/92xprint-xpserverlist.sh

6.9 is no longer in the tree and, as Ed says, this is already taken care of in xorg-server.
