Hi all, XQuartz 2.7.10_rc2 is available. It's essentially the same as 2.7.10_rc1 but should work fine on older OS versions. If you got bit by that, my apologies. Please give this one a go. Thanks, Jeremy

New subject: oops, rc2 moved the launchd_startx fiile (Re: XQuartz 2.7.10_rc2)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Thank you for recompiling 2.7.10_rc1 for us old-folk as ~_rc2. Now, I've found another problem but was able to do a quick symlink fix, let me know if this is correct. My typed notes says this: - -*- quick fix for 2.7.10_rc2 -*- Oops, upon starting the XQuartz.app from 2.7.10_rc2, my system.log keeps repeatedly belching this error:

I think the installer for 2.7.10_rc2 removed launchd_startx which used to be located as shown above. Now, I found it under /opt/X11/libexec so I quickly put a symlink for it, e.g. # cd /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit # ln -s ../../../libexec/launchd_start?

Yeah, that should work as a workaround. The real fix is to update the postinstall script to detect this situation and advise users to logout and log back in. --Jeremy

ah yes, I have this app, http://www.soma-zone.com/LaunchControl/ . It does show the changed value for 'org.macosforge.xquartz.startx'. But me not having logged-out/in then apparently I was using the 'old in-core value' for this. Is there a mechanism to update this "on the fly" as it were? Anyway, yes please insert some kind of wordage somehow to explain this change and how to properly pick it up etc.. btw I still have not signed-out/in during these days since I need the iMac to do several scheduled tasks (usually via 'cron', some via EyeTV.app, etc.) thru the 24-hour period. fwiw latest LaunchControl.app version still works for me, since it's designed to run on SL and this "iMac6,1" has a 64-bit CPU (Core2Duo) (but its EFI/BIOS ROM is still 32-bit which is why I must be able to afford another [newer] model to do any 'upgrade' whatsoever, `sigh`). So I need to re-iterate, if it's possible for such values to be altered "dynamically" in such way that a sign-out/in is _not_ required ? Please consider doing this if possible. (as of 'now', I _did_ sign-out/in to pick-up the change[s]) TY -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJX3ORUAAoJEKkeWNKet7+KYjYH+wWyTk1ujIzdYq/SP/sDOyrN 8gJVoPv8djkh+3Wampa0AbU1pX0QzZgPEtDdGdu2kGVQPZLVTiym3mjSw4hoq3yN 72X/n1ChNWf8lvJ6o4xdI7T279CsUUSm2D4QzezJP0ftuWVJMPdAFRw5GqMFAq3e msOncyBtg7svzHVjbDuVHg1h48EIvd/+GCKI67ZtIARVBAoETeGJEtlvFFGIkWg+ 1AFVMOjQTHVO7E7EI9jP/7o9MuVYgOGfY5nnoaGN2qLvQ3FGVO81Yc0S/mfR9E5e ZKDub7EcNVAByi6cBlBce4fjS7qz8yTspV/QidssUH2wJpZoT5kDu8KqsJVlVEI= =zae/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It is possible to unload and reload the LaunchAgent, but all existing processes spawned by launchd in your session will have the wrong value for the DISPLAY environment variable. That's why the (not currently shown) dialog will encourage the user to logout in this scenario. --Jeremy
