Tinkster 07-01-2003 07:41 PM
How about posting your .xinitrc/.xsession file? ;)

Cheers,
Tink

Drogo 07-01-2003 07:44 PM
.xinitrc and the .xsession looks the same

Eterm &
blackbox


:mad: most likely im doing something wrong

Tinkster 07-01-2003 07:52 PM
Yep ...

Try

Eterm &
exec blackbox

Maybe with the full path to the bb executable.

Mine looks like this...
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# Start the window manager:
/sbin/trail.sh&
gkrellm&
xhost +localhost&
xscreensaver&
bsetbg tux.jpg&
exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox

Tinkster 07-01-2003 07:55 PM
Certainly ....

Drogo 07-01-2003 07:56 PM
nope, nothing happens

Tinkster 07-01-2003 08:05 PM
How are you starting your xsession?
Through kdm (xdm, gdm) or from the
CLI using startx?

Cheers,
Tink

Drogo 07-01-2003 08:10 PM
thats a good question ...i dont know....how can i find out >/>? sorry newbie here. a few months into linux

tcaptain 07-02-2003 12:11 PM
Are you typing something like "startx" on the command line? Or are you selecting "blackbox" from a graphical screen at logon time?

Drogo 07-02-2003 01:46 PM
im selecting bb from the graphical screen at logon.

InK 07-02-2003 04:16 PM
/etc/x11/gdm/Sessions/Blackbox
use that file as your .xinitrc
if your using kdm, I don't know... what distro are you using??
Mandrake?? (check /etc/sysconfig/desktop)
