twm / blackbox
My default window manager is TWM right now.
I have just run "apt-get install BlackBox" Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Blackbox is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installad, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded. It is installed now but when i run "startx" it is still twm that is my default window manager ?? How do i change that ?? Plz explain it so i can understand it. I'm a newbie in Linux.... thx |
Code:
echo exec blackbox > ~/.xinitrc |
damn i love you !! when i type "startx" it works!!!
Will it work for all users i create now ? |
what does this command do ?
echo exec blackbox > ~/.xinitrc |
it puts the text:
exec blackbox into the .xinitrc file in your home directory type: man startx from a terminal |
it won't work for all default users no, but if you copy that .xinitrc file to /etc/skel then it should be given correctly to each new user. it is also possible to edit the X start scripts to use blackbox as a default if you want to, can't rememebr quite where that is noramlly taken care of though... you may well have an existing global xinitrc at /etc/X11/xinit/
