| Paulo da Silva <p_d_a_s_i_l_v_a_ns@nonetnoaddress.pt>: Jul 19 08:15PM +0100 Hi! I have tried lots of ideas from Google search but still didn't get any success debugging a C program with ncurses using eclipse! I think that's mainly because the suggestions are for older eclipse versions. This should be simple. It's only a matter of being able to insert -tty=/dev/pts/X in the gdb command line issued by eclipse, I think. X is obtained by tty command on a pretended terminal. But I can't do this. Besides the command line "issued" by eclipse uses -nx which tells eclipse to not read any command from .gdbinit file! Does anyone here have used eclipse for such purpose that could perhaps help? Thank you. |

You can obviously add as many bells and whistles as you like, but ultimately all you need for a basic login system is username and password - 1 window, 2 textboxes. For the other stuff you don't need a drop down, you could just have them pre-listed which can then be clicked on, much simpler. >And, then there's other, non-window logic, such as the logic to start the X >server (if necessary), the logic to validate usernames and passwords (both >locally and remotely), and the logic to start the user's WM of choice.

I also have I do have a soft spot for slackware - mainly the lack of the god awful systemd - but its hardly a standard distro these days and was last updated 5 years ago so obviously not much happening these days. I doubt any of the common distros will have those libraries installed so if you want it to be used by others.... |

X11 is a communications protocol, with the "client" end implemented in Xlib and the server end implemented in the X server. X11 doesn't have "textboxes", and it's "windows" are simply rectangular regions of the display that can be drawn on. Such a "window" can receive keystrokes and/or mouse activity, if it chooses. I'm working at a much lower level than you think I am. As for "all you need ... is username and password", that might be true in a single system network, but in a multi-system network, using the facilities of X11, I also need a "hostname" to connect to (it may be "localhost", but, then again, it may also be "desktop_computer.my.lan" or "game_server.my.lan"). For me, this becomes a scrollable selector with three windows (a next-selection downarrow window, a previous-selection uparrow window, and a selection output window). What you are describing is a simple, one-system display manager implemented with one of the X11 widget sets (such as GTK+, or QT or Athena), and not the more comprehensive multi-system display manager that I'm trying to build.

Given I already told you I wrote my own window manager (along with half a dozen games and more utilities than I can count in the last 25 years) I'm wondering why you think I need some patronising heads up on what constitutes X11 and Xlib? >mouse activity, if it chooses. I'm working at a much lower level than you >think >I am. Writing your own buttons and textboxes in raw X11 is fairly trivial *IF* you know the API well and arn't too fussed about pretty graphics. >may also be "desktop_computer.my.lan" or "game_server.my.lan"). For me, this >becomes a scrollable selector with three windows (a next-selection downarrow >window, a previous-selection uparrow window, and a selection output window). Or you could have a textbox with intelligent autocomplete of hostnames since presumably you'll have a list anyway if you're planning on having a pull down. >with >one of the X11 widget sets (such as GTK+, or QT or Athena), and not the more >comprehensive multi-system display manager that I'm trying to build. No, I wasn't. But it doesn't matter, I was just trying to be helpful. You do what you like. |
