Fluxbox Help

knoxlinuxuser · 03-20-2005, 12:03 AM

I am running Suse 9.0 Personal.

I have downloaded and installed the Fluxbox RPM.

I can add "exec fluxbox" to a .xinitrc file and then use fluxbox when I try to log in KDE, so I know Fluxbox is working properly.

My problem is that I would like to add Fluxbox as an option when I login. I thought I should have added it automatically, but it didn't.

I would like to know what to add to the .xinitrc-template file to get this option (if this is the file I need to add to).

Thanks

Also see if you have /usr/bin/startfluxbox for suse it may be at /usr/X11R6/bin/startfluxbox. What this will do is create a /home/username/.fluxbox/*startup where you can add your background and anything else you want to start with fluxbox.So instead of starting fluxbox with exec /usr/bin/fluxbox or exec fluxbox start it with /usr/bin/startfluxbox or exec startfluxbox and it will read /home/username/.fluxbox/startup when it starts.
