How to keep your /tmp/xerrs.log file small.

Hi, mike.

Here's another one concerning the PANGO UTF-8 warnings. Solution # 1
in that list seems to work for me, mutatis mutandis:

Code: Select all

localedef -i fr_CA -f UTF-8 fr_CA.UTF-8

(instead of the man's original "pt_BR.UTF-8"). Fingers crossed... I did it
a few minutes ago.
You wrote:

know the stuff that actually stops applications working. It worked...
silence was golden.

Ahhh...

Looking at it from a psychological standpoint, we shouldn't be too mad:
in a manner of speaking, those verbose messages are a cry for help
from the poor developer.

The same said to the same developer, this time in non diplomatic,
straight language: "Enough of this, beef up your skills, man!"
(Not you, of course, I mean the "actual man" who did the original
compiling!)

And to the ghost of my mother: "No mom, I never wanted to learn
these patches, I just wanted to be a regular computer user." (sob, sob)

I stop -- or my pot will continue cracking...

BFN.

Its ok....

actually the error that particularly was bugging me was telling me a function was deprecated...not so bad but the replacement function recommended had also now become deprecated...so the fix would have produced similar warnings anyway...chasing the wind is not my way.

Try a gtkdialog combo box and select an item while observing in a terminal.

To me gtk warnings mean...we cannot make up our minds and we like attention too....

I'd venture to say that the people at gtk are under some kind of WhineDose
voodoo spell... By the time the user has adapted his system, gtk has a
new version that makes the user's work obsolete.

Hi, mike.

Not sure about staff. It would be too obvious.

But what's to stop them from improving their code using opensource.
The name says it all: open source. Anybody, including people at
MacroHard, can read it and pluck from it.

Let's start the rumor that Windows 10 will actually be a rewrite of
Wine... Nah, that can't happen, can it?

My 2¢.

Greengeek,

you must be a Canadian Senator: from the "Chamber of sober 2nd
thoughts"... (only half joking...).

Because they have the mentality, don't they? They wouldn't blink at
infiltrating other companies.
