[STUMP] stumpwm-20170830-git hangs on startup

[Oleg Pykhalov]

Hello Carlos,

I have this issue too. But I have a success to avoid by giving a
Stumpwm source from git to Quicklisp manually. I hope it will help.

I upgraded Stumpwm to stumpwm-20170830-git with Quicklisp.

After upgrade cannot start with my previous /home/natsu/.xsession
configuration file.

I followed how to debug this with Xephyr from
https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/wiki/Debugging-reproducible-crashing-bugs-or-when-crash-StumpWM-is-likely-to-Crash
and got these errors.

* Solution

I found a helpful article how to provide a project to Quicklisp on
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40571533/how-to-install-a-package-with-quicklisp

First of all you need to clone Stumpwm to Quicklisp local-projects.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git clone https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm.git /home/natsu/quicklisp/local-projects/stumpwm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then create a file /home/natsu/bin/run-stumpwm with contents:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; -*-lisp-*-

(require :asdf)
(push #p"/home/natsu/quicklisp/local-projects/stumpwm/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(ql:quickload "stumpwm")
(stumpwm:stumpwm)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And load this in /home/natsu/.xsession:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
exec sbcl --load /home/natsu/bin/run-stumpwm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
