[SOLVED] how to install xdmx on Arch

reggler · 2020-01-01 19:34:27

Hi,

I want to configure a multihead setup using different machines with xdmx. I found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … cal_system but t seems like xorg-server-xdmx has become obsolete but I could not find, which package contains xdmx now. Can anybody help out?
Thanks

A simple search reveals there are some packages in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=xdmx

Yes, that's what I found too but attempting to install xorg-server-xdmx-notty throws me a number of conflicts of a few pretty packages:

$ yay -S xorg-server-xdmx-notty

and I wasn't exactly certain on how to continue without breaking anything....
Anyways, ignoring them and moving ahead with y, clean built libdmx & xorg-server-notty then after entering the password, I get more conflicting packages:

Please remove AUR helpers from the equation and post the full makepkg log.

Hi,

Okay, I executed makepkg -Lsi and got the following build log: http://txt.do/1o3hv

Hi, I appreciate,
I downloaded each file seperately, stored it on my disk and initiated makepkg -Lsi and got the following:

I found http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-k … rch-linux/ but am unsure if adding validpgpkeys=('F37CDAB708E65EA183FD1AF625EF0A436C2A4AFF') # Carlos O'Donell to PKGBUILD is what I'm really supposed to do, any hinnts?
However, I just tried it out and ended up with this:

Thanks a lot! I got it to build now!
I've got to do some more reading up on the makepkg keys to do! Thanks for this!

Hm, so this worked fine on one box but on the other I get something like:

how do I get past this?

`killall dirmngr` to stop the process gnupg uses to connect to servers and retry the command.
As the server is provided from a pool gnupg may connect to a different pool member and succeed.

That didn't help but I've got the following now:

Also, this happens just one one machine, it worked fine on two others - I'm wondering what's wronng with this one...

Is this machine on the same network as either of the two others?
As a work around you could copy the built packages from one of the other machines or
export the key from the keyring on one the other machines:

gpg --output 9C825A6605D40BBE.gpg --export 9C825A6605D40BBE

then import it onto the machine which can not access keyservers:

gpg --import 9C825A6605D40BBE.gpg

Edit:
As the key has a gentoo.org address associated with it and gentoo.org supports WKD you can fetch the key using WKD which uses HTTPS instead of a key server with

gpg --auto-key-locate clear,wkd --locate-keys mattst88@gentoo.org

Yes, this one (the troublemaker) is on the same network as the others.
I just did the export & import of the key as suggested and that got me going! Perfect, thank you!
I'd never exported & imported keys - if I knew it was as easy as that....
Thanks a lot!

very interesting !! can I ask how xdmx worked for you ??

I am asking because on the wiki page you mentionned it says "At present either Xdmx itself or the current state of window managers do not work well together for complex arrangements of multihead set-ups; the server tends to crash as soon as window drawing is required after the integrated desktop has been established" ...
...but I would be interested because I have an old laptop lying around and I would like to extend my desktop ... I'd like to use xfce as my desktop environment ...

thank you !
