Poky X11
Hello,
When I build 'core-image-x11' on Poky, X on wont start. I am using the standard Poky clone with no added layers. When I manually start x I get the following error:
startx/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 95: twm : command not found /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 96: xclock : command not found /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 97: xterm : command not found /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 98: xterm : command not found /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 99: exec : command not found
I suspect I am doing something wrong.
I found that the missing files are in meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-graphics/*.
If this is a bug, which direction should I go to address the problem?
1) move missing recipes to oe-core
2) remove core-image-x11 from oe-core
3) remove files from xinitrc
4) none of the above, issue some where else.
regards,
Armin

Did you at some point do a build with meta-oe enabled, and then not enabled? There's a known bad interaction between oe-core and meta-oe's X init scripts which results in problems like this. The quick fix is to wipe your tmp and rebuild (using sstate this should take just a few minutes).

I could not recall.

Did that and still have the problem.
