Select i3 as my default window manager
I'm having trouble getting i3wm set up as my default window manager on this fresh install of Slackware 14 Current.
When I run 'xwmcconfig' it does not list i3 as a window manager for X that I can select. I know that I've got i3 installed correctly because it runs perfectly fine if I use Code:
exec ck-launch-session i3 /etc/X11/xinit shows the xinrc files for blackbox, fluxbox, fvwm2, wmaker and twm but there's nothing present for i3. What can I do to get xwmconfig to see that I've got i3 installed so that I can select it as my default window manager? Thanks. |
How did you install i3? It's available on slackbuilds.org (v4.2). If you're running -current, you can also build the latest version from here:
http://slackword.net/files/builds/i3...kware-current/ The link provided above will offer xinitrc.i3 which you can put in /etc/X11/xinit/ which should make it appear in the xwmconfig menu. |
Either use above mentioned file for system-wide settings or put your code to launch i3 in $HOME/.xinitrc file or in $HOME/.xsession if started from login manager (need to have an executable flag).

Thank you both. Copying that xinitrc.i3 to /etc/X11/xinit/ worked and I am able to globally set it as the default window manager.
