I must add:
the sys slow down happens after a while, 1 hour or 2. So it might well be something not XnView-related.
Checking the past logs seem to point to some combi-failure between Gimp missing some stuff, X11, and some other Unix apps. So let's drop the topic system slow down, it's my own business.
I guess understanding a bit of Darwin would help a lot.
I never get an error message after trying to launch XnView: the failure due to line 14 is only in the logs.
XnView does never produce a Crash.log; well, how could it, it really never started by me.
Can Shattenreiter look if he has a Crash.log for XnView?
I guess he might have one.
The
second time I try to launch XnView happens this:
Code: Select all
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
/Applications/Imaging/XnView.app/Contents/Resources/script: line 14: /Users/****/.profile: No such file or directory
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1280x854 @ (0,0)
As you see, all of a sudden there's a problem with temp owners.
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root. According to Fink's troubleshooting page (however, I have Apple's X11), this message is harmless. Can be disregarded. Couldn't stay on root anyway.
As to this log-line I didn't do anything else that might have influenced the log. Now I'm just keeping the log open with an editor. Whatever changes are immediately displayed:
Now I quit X11:
Code: Select all
Screen 0 added: 1280x854 @ (0,0)
z_alloc: 0 bytes in use out of 120848360 bytes overall; max 22958112.
Quitting XDarwin...
Some bad allocation I would say.
Now I restart for the
third time X11:
Code: Select all
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1280x854 @ (0,0)
Quitting XDarwin...
xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
Now by quitting there's fatal error.
From now on every attemp to open X11, with or without XnView returns the same results above.
So it's definitely also X11 making troubles
By me it's Original Apple X11 ver. 1.0.
Sorry for the long message, I just hope it helps coming to the point.
