When I try to start xaos I get this:
----------------------------------------- $ xaos Warning - too long text at line 58 Warning - too long text at line 69 Warning - too long text at line 139 Warning - too long text at line 180 Warning - too long text at line 207 Warning - too long text at line 210 Warning - too long text at line 257 Warning - too long text at line 264 Warning - too long text at line 275 Warning - too long text at line 282 Warning - too long text at line 293 Warning - too long text at line 368 Warning - too long text at line 380 Warning - too long text at line 422 Warning - too long text at line 469 Warning - too long text at line 516 Warning - too long text at line 586 Warning - too long text at line 669 Warning - too long text at line 673 Warning - too long text at line 675 Warning - too long text at line 685 Warning - too long text at line 708 Warning - too long text at line 762 Warning - too long text at line 784 Warning - too long text at line 789 Warning - too long text at line 837 Warning - too long text at line 889 Warning - too long text at line 918 Warning - too long text at line 972 Warning - too long text at line 1008 Warning - too long text at line 1015 Warning - too long text at line 1016 [1] 16100 segmentation fault (core dumped) xaos ----------------------------------------- The warnings seem irrelevant and locale related. I can see a black window appearing and fast disappearing. I know it's a segfault just like this other bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33334 But segfault is so generic, and that bug is so old, I thought it would be better to open another issue. This is the first install of xaos on this machine, so I don't know if this problem is new in this build or not. Also, I found a work around that maybe is related with the cause of the bug: I use i3 tile window manager. So when xaos is starting all windows rearrange to open space for the new window (filled with black). Then xaos crashes, black window disappears and other windows go back to previous arrange. By chance I've found out that, if the terminal used to open xaos is in fullscreen mode, xaos opens behind it (I can't see it) without crashing. Then I just have to disable fullscreen for the terminal and I can see xaos window without crash. After that I can even fullscreen xaos without problem. So it seems you must not see xaos window when it is starting... |

(without these "too long text" warnings).
I have mitigated in my ~/.config/i3/config with:
for_window [class="XaoS"] floating enable
and in my ~/.wmii/wmiirc_local:
