X is definately installed. I'm in KDE right now. How can I get this to compile? Thanks. --------------------------------------------- KptnKrill |
i think its thoses packages from xdevelopment . . . ( redhat , or sources , not sure)
|
Thanks IeU, I installed all of the X developement packages and it compiled flawlessly. The problem is that I can't access Fluxbox. :(
I used the instructions at this site: http://anyweb.kicks-ass.net/linux/rh9/index.html Does anyone know what is wrong. I don't think that ¨exec fluxbox¨ is right. Thanks in advance. |
more specific.
When I try to go into fluxbox from login > sessions. This little message pops up and says ¨Your X session lasted less than 10 secs blah blah. See ~/.xsession-errors¨. I'll get back to you with that log file but in the mean time does anyone know why Fluxbox only blinks on my screen for a second then disappears? |
I got fluxbox installed but am having a heck of a time getting it to show up as an option for xwindow manager when I type xwmconfig.
I tried this, Quote:

I haven't read this thread and I'm running Slack9 so sorry if this is off.
What docs were you quoting? I looked and couldn't find anything especially relevant in zillions of files. I'm sure I did it "wrong" but it works, though some parts of it may be unnecessary. My default runlevel is 3 but I was just testing, so I ran 'init 4' and got dumped into gdm. I added a file to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions that is a copy of the other files in the directory, but with a new name and 'fluxbox' subsituted in the file. That added it to the menu but just brought up XFCE when I selected it. So I went to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and backed that up and wrote in an 'exec fluxbox' option and saved it. For whatever reason, when I brought gdm back up and selected the menu option that time, it loaded fluxbox. If this is ot, ignore me, but how do I add an 'exit' option - ctrl-alt-backspace just respawns gdm. I saw an option in... gdm.conf maybe? Some file. But I wasn't sure. And I thought about just adding an 'init 3' instead of an 'exec foo' as an entry. I dunno. Anyway - that's how I got flux to load from gdm. :rolleyes: But having my ~/.xinitrc pointed to fluxbox and doing startx from runlevel 3 is no problem. I was just curious about getting a menu of all wm's and ide's. |
The quotes in my post are from other posts on this site.

Other posts on this thread even. :)
So the idea of messing with xdm's Xsession wasn't inspiring? ;) |
It was inspiring:)
I have it listed in xwmconfig now. But when I select it and type startx, I get /root/.xinitrc: startfluxbox: command not found |
startfluxbox? Hm. I didn't mess with xwmconfig... although that probably *is* the right file after all. :) I have
Code:
fluxbox) Code:
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession fluxbox Sounds like it's looking for 'startfluxbox' rather than 'fluxbox'. And that's just for showing up on gdm's menu. If I want to type startx from runlevel 3 I get fluxbox automatically because it's written into my ~/.xinitrc instead of any session manager or other wm. I dunno. This is the first distro I've ever had with Gnome and only the second with KDE so it's all weird to me. I'm just used to an .xinitrc file with something substituted for twm. :D |
I figured it out, the last line in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fluxbox is supposed to be exec fluxbox, not startfluxbox( I was using kde's an an example).
I have a new problem now:D I get this error when trying to start fluxbox Quote:

I figured it out. I needed to upgrade to gcc-3.2.3.
I am now using fluxbox.:D |
Cool. Glad you got it worked out. No one should be forced to do without fluxbox. :D
