I was using MacPorts X11, but ever since I upgraded to Sonoma it has been
randomly crashing, espeically but not exclusively after I press the Fn key. I
figured it might be more stable, and even if its not I'll be able to
symbolicate and file a proper bug report.
It's working and has crashed yet, but I find it is not running the files in
~/.xinitrc like the MacPorts version did. Now, /opt/X11/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
shows that it should load /opt/X11/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc/98-user.sh, which
claims it will will load the the home directory inits:
if [ -d "${HOME}/.xinitrc.d" ] ; then
for f in "${HOME}"/.xinitrc.d/*.sh ; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
And I have a couple of files that should be loaded:
dir ~/.xinitrc.d
total 12
-rwxr-xr-x 1 itais _lpoperator 101 2018-10-11 19:12 01_setup_environment.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 itais _lpoperator 412 2023-02-20 22:28 98_xfce_Terminal.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 itais _lpoperator 254 2015-08-03 01:45 99_gnome-terminal.inactive*
Yet it is not loading. Is there some secret setup I need to do? Debugging
tips?
I'm not sure if this is related to the above or something else, but since
switching gpg has stopped working with the error "gpg: public key decryption
failed: No pinentry". I've not looked into this, but perhaps this is a clue,
or at least someone has a suggestion.
Finally, random question. I noticed a defaults called cache_fonts. What does
this control? On Ventura the character ✔ rendered just fine in the X clients I
user regularly, most notably xfce-terminal. But after the upgrade, somehow the
font changed and not its rendering as a codepoint without a glyph (despite the
configuration specifying a font), I haven't been able to different font that
works. So I beyond curiousity I was wondering if this option might affect
that.
Thanks!
