So, a new issue with alps install xserver-meta :

patch: **** Can't open patch file ../xorg-server-1.18.2-wayland_190-1.patch : No such file or directory
Error occured in execution of /var/cache/alps/scripts/xorg-server.sh

Hi,

Well, you need to do the following in this case:

sudo sed -i "s@patch -Np1@#patch -Np1@g" /var/cache/alps/scripts/xorg-server.sh

Actually I have documented the same in the website:

Maybe you missed it. Which desktop environment are you building anyways? In case its mate then follow the above link. If its xfce then follow the following:

Were you in directory, /var/cache/alps/scripts, when you ran it?

The "../" says to go one directory above the one you were in to file the file.

Is there such a file as /var/cache/alps/xorg-server-1.18.2-wayland_190-1.patch?

You are correct MensaWater. This patch is missing. Though its mentioned in the BLFS book but the link is not provided in the SVN version based on which this scripts is built. This patch command should have been commented but missed it. My bad.

Update:

This patch seems to have been merged upstream. So no longer needed. I updated the scripts. Please do:

sudo alps updatescripts

and then proceed with the rest of the installation

Hi,

It works. Yet I can assure you that I followed all your scripts one by one, including sudo sed -i "s@patch -Np1@#patch -Np1@g" /var/cache/alps/scripts/xorg-server.sh.

Right now, alps install xfce-desktop-environment is running.

Thanks to you two, but too late...

I meant that I didn't see your two previous posts.
Sorry.
