Hi!

I'm running FC2. When the login screen comes up, I ALWAYS have to change the session to fluxbox because the radio button for "Default System Session" is always selected.

Can anyone answer this question specifically:

Where is the file that controls what radio button is selected? If I knew this, I could change it to fluxbox potentially.

If that is not an option..

Where is the file that sets "default" to "gnome" or something like that. If I knew this, I could change default to fluxbox potentially.

I have searched and read many posts on this subject, but none seem to answer my questions.

Thanks for any response!!

Change the last line of your ~/.xinitrc file to /usr/bin/fluxbox instead of what's there now.

Nothing is there now because the file doesn't exist!
I created the file manually and added the line, but it doesn't change anything.

Thanks though.

You have to put #! /bin/bash at the top of the file then. Here's the example of mine:

You can ignore those 2 lines between them, those are other programs I want to start when x starts.

BTW I think that there's an example config file on your system too.

Ok I tried that, but it still loads the default manager.
Are you sure this is the solution for FC2?

Thanks for your patience - much appreciated!

Which desktop manager are you running. I think I read somewhere that you might have to change your .xclients file or something. I can't find it cause I deleted my desktop managers environments completely and only use fluxbox.

I found this with google: edit wrong link

Maybe that's of some help?

That just took me to some page about wireless.

I figured it out!!

edit the gdm.conf file, change the default desktop to:
fluxbox.desktop

Woohoo!!

Wrong link sorry.
Glad you got it working though

Where is the gdm.conf file located? And why in the crap does the GUI find file in KDE always crash if I search /lib or / or anything on a lower level? Permissions? What?
