I installed a newer unstable version of those two packages, but my system wasn't liking them (some other packages started reporting missing dependencies), so I had to force an install of the default debian packages with dpkg.

I think I fixed it.

I also added some extra info to the OP.

Hi, I recently had a problem with my install (as in, I messed something up), and had to reinstall both libc6 and the locales packages, after I did that however my GTK windows all have the same weird unantialized font...

Gimp even crashes with the error:

gimp: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
gimp: terminated: Aborted

I'm guessing this has something to do with the locales?

All the help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Edit: This problem is user based since if I start any gtk programs with the root account their fonts are normal.

My system has not been automounting any USB drives (the drives don't apear in thunar, and they aren't mounted at all), so I tried to manually mount one of them and I couldn't.

My system clearly sees the device, since when I input it dmesg tells me:

and when I remove the device I can see in dmesg:

[42797.486438] usb 2-1.3: USB disconnect, device number 13

So far so good, but I tried to mount it using

sudo mount -t vfat -o uid=alexandre,gid=users /dev/sdb /home/alexandre/mt/

or

sudo mount -t vfat -o uid=alexandre,gid=users /dev/sdb1 /home/alexandre/mt/

I just get an error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Was I doing something wrong here?

It is also weird because all this (even automounting) was working a while back, and I also notice that my thunar lacks the usual network manager and recicle bin. I cannot pinpoint exactly when I started having these problems since I only noticed it now when I went to use a USB drive, but I recently changed to dwm and edited my Xsession file (more precisely the "99x11-common_start" file), in order to make DWM start by default when I logged into slim. The exact contents of that file right now are:

exec startup &
exec dwm

Did I remove something from here I shouldn't have? Am I forgetting to start the program that handles the mounting of USB drives (if there is such a thing)? What might I have messed up?

Thank you for all the help provided.

I've rencently installed DWM as a window manager, but when I try to use cb-compositor --start with it I run into some problems:

- Windows that have transparency are very slow when being moved around.
- Windows that have transparency only show the background instead of the windows that are behind them.

Any idea on how to fix this? It is really weird since it was working with openbox.

ShiroAisu · Help & Support (Stable)

Alright, I managed to fix it. Here's what I did in detail and this should work for anyone else having this problem while having everything (apparently) set up correctly.

Ok, first I (as a sugestion from Alad) installed the ALSA drivers and completely removed PulseAudio from my system following the instructions in this thread:
http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23930
I must point out that I don't know if this is really needed tho.

Ok, after that it didn't work so I searched around and found this thread:
http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php? … da3338845f
In which Ryan C. Gordon states:

If you built your own SDL, you probably didn't have development headers
for PulseAudio (or ALSA), so it's trying to use /dev/dsp, which doesn't
exist on many modern Linux systems (hence, SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO)
succeeds, but no devices are found when you try to open one). "apt-get
install libasound2-dev libpulse-dev" and rebuild SDL...let the configure
script find the new headers so it includes PulseAudio and ALSA support.

So I got the ALSA development packages

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

and built and installed SDL from scratch. This time tho it detected the ALSA dev libs and compiled it with ALSA support, which made it instantly work!

And that is it. I hope the instructions are clear, and thank you Alad for your support.

That's all I have at the moment. Perhaps you can go to the SDL forums, and explain your problem together with your system specifications and all the steps that didn't work for you.

Alright, I'll do that. The SDL forums are so dead tho for some reason.

Any further help will be appreciated too.

Probably you still have PulseAudio. Try
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse
or
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio
Launch your game from that same terminal, just in case. If it doesn't work, try removing pulseaudio (in tips&tricks section).

Still no luck... I tried both pulse and pulseaudio, didn't work. I went on to uninstall pulse, tried again with no SDL_AUDIODRIVER, didn't work. Then I tried again with SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa, didn't work.

Frustrating...

It didn't work. I also tried "alsa". Am I missing some driver or something? How can I check?

ShiroAisu · Help & Support (Stable)

I've been trying to get SDL's sound to work, but all SDL applications fail with the Failed to open audio: No available audio device error.

I've tried googling it and none of the solutions worked for me. I also know very little about sound cards and general sound drivers on linux, and this is driving me nuts.

To be more precise, I'm trying to get Visual Boy Advances sound to work, but other SDL games (sauerbraten for instance), have the same problem. And for the record, other kinds of sounds seem to work, banshee works, flash works, etc. the problem seems to be linked to SDL only.

I'm not sure if I should be asking this here or in the debian forums (since this seems to be more of a general debian problem), but thanks for all help provided.

Check whether you're still using fglrx and not the FOSS drivers (glxinfo | head), and if not, you're left with an fglrx issue to fix.

Yes, I know I didn't fix the issue entirely. Afterwards I reinstalled the fglrx drivers and I managed to get it to work, but thanks for the warning.

In my opinion, xorg.conf is kind of helper file, to fine tune your devices (graphics/screens/monitors/mouses/keyboard). Todays drivers are mostly able to run X normally without xorg.conf. Therefore, you are still using fglrx driver, but without xorg.conf. (At least that's as I understand all this ...)

Actually, after I installed fglrx I didn't uninstal the free drivers (I think) so at that point I was using the free drivers. I had to manually set Xorg to use fglrx in the config file.

1) Try to move (and backup) xorg.conf:

Well, this worked for me. After I did this XServer started up normaly and so did openbox. After that I tried to get fglrx to work but it wouldn't, I obviously did mess something up last time, but all I remember doing that is somewhat related to GPU drivers is install libgl1-fglrx-glx:i386 while following this guide:

https://wiki.debian.org/Steam
(I still didn't get steam to work by the way).

But thanks for your help man. This is solved and I learned a few things about Xorg.

Cheers.

Hello.

When I turn on my computer it seems to boot fine but it never gets to the GUI, instead it just drops me on a text terminal with a login prompt from where I can log in normally.

This has only been happening since this morning (maybe I did something less... smart yesterday?), so it is really strange.

I tried to dig for the log files, and I found the XServer log file. In that I found several errors and warnings (mostly fglrx related), and at the end it said that the XServer could not be started.

The first fglrx warning that pops is: No matching device section for instance...
And the first error is: The graphics processor is already set to console mode, set X mode fail. Cannot start X.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 5470, and I think I have my drivers up to date since I installed the proprietary drivers for this graphics card (correctly, I assume), fairly recently.

I'll try to get the log file from my computer (as you can probably tell I'm not very experienced with GNU/Linux), but in the mean time thank you for all the help you can provide.

EDIT: Alright, I got the logs:
