is there a no-X (console based) windows manager?
Like you can run several programs under console, or it could even convert the text of X apps into console ?
Is it just a dream or reality for Linux? |
forget dvtm, you cannot select the text to do copy paste :(
so here a solution : Quote:

http://vwm.sourceforge.net/ seems promising.
Otherwise, there's GNU Screen, which allows you to have the equivalent of many desktops open within a single virtual terminal. |

./configure ; make ; make install because I have error to compile ... :( Code:
.h:125: error: expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â before â*â token I have glib 1.2 in the debian stable. so i can forget vwm?? Quote:
sounds cool: http://vwm.sourceforge.net/killingtime.png |
I didn't really understand you last post, but it seems there's no precompiled binary package for vwm in Debian. In which case, you're going to have to roll your own. If, as I think you said, there's a deal-breaker dependency issue, then I'm not sure how you'd proceed.
Have you looked into GNU Screen? I believe it can split a terminal, emulating separate windows. edit: http://polishlinux.org/howtos/screen-tips-tricks/ |

dvtm and screen, well there is also twin but twin is sure of no way. too old. :( screen hasnt moving nox-windows |
Wow, it seems we've found one of the only pieces of software apparently not available in Debian.
Googling throws this one up too: http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/neercs. No idea of its functionality. |

libcaca stuffs, I guess i wont manage to install it in a decent time :( |
Compiling VWM from scratch
VWM author here. Glad to answer build questions if needed.
|
OK hey; is it possible, maybe to add VWM to any distro, like TTYLinux ( http://minimalinux.org/ttylinux/ ) or Slackware?
I have been wanting a text editor for both console and X...maybe VWM can help that in some way...? |

Have any of you tried the venerable emacs system? IIRC it can do an awful lot of the WM stuff using its "buffers" as windows.
There is also the elinks no-X browser available, which I've sometimes found handy when trying to find a driver to get X working. |
