I try to activate Oroborus window manager in my Gentoo, because I find him sympathetic.
I have two successful installs and sessions in a PCLinuxOS and a Crunchbang systems.
In my Gentoo, with the same configuration, it refuses to respond in my key strokes.
I tried xbindkeys, keylauncher, nothing... I just see a blank screen with my cursor to travel inside.
Lets take it from the start:
I installed Oroborus from the Portage:
| Code: | # eix oroborus
[I] x11-wm/oroborus
Available versions: 2.0.20 {gnome}
Installed versions: 2.0.20(10:43:49 PM 11/01/2014)(-gnome)
Homepage: http://www.oroborus.org
Description: Small and fast window manager |
I installed xbindkeys:
| Code: | # eix xbindkeys
[I] x11-misc/xbindkeys
Available versions: 1.8.4 ~1.8.5 ~1.8.6 {guile tk}
Installed versions: 1.8.4(11:25:28 AM 11/03/2014)(tk -guile)
Homepage: http://www.nongnu.org/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html
Description: Tool for launching commands on keystrokes |
I installed fbpanel:
| Code: | # eix fbpanel
[I] x11-misc/fbpanel
Available versions: 6.1-r2
Installed versions: 6.1-r2(05:35:38 PM 11/07/2014)
Homepage: http://fbpanel.sourceforge.net/
Description: light-weight X11 desktop panel |
Downloaded and installed the Oroborus-Theme-Changer.
I made a KDM entry, by creating oroborus.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions folder:
| Code: | [Desktop Entry]
#Encoding=UTF-8
#Type=XSession
Name=oroborus
Type=Application
#Comment=This session logs you into Oroborus Session
TryExec=/etc/X11/Sessions/Oroborus
Exec=/usr/bin/oroborus |
and, of course, there is a executable file Oroborus, in /usr/bin.
I configured my xbindkeysrc and oroborusrc files:
| Code: | /.xbindkeysrc:
"terminator"
mod4 + t
"xterm"
mod4 + x
"dmenu"
alt + F3
"firefox-bin"
alt + F1
"thunar"
alt + F2
"otc"
alt + F4
"gimp"
alt + F5
"fbpanel"
Alt + F8 |

I created a file in my /home, named wmgrs and placed inside it the oroborus-start script:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
# script to "autostart" oroborus
xbindkeys &
fbpanel &
oroborus |
I made it executable:
| Code: | | chmod +x ~/wmgrs/oroborus-start |
and edited my oroborus.desktop file, as:
| Code: | [Desktop Entry]
#Encoding=UTF-8
#Type=XSession
Name=oroborus
Type=Application
#Comment=This session logs you into Oroborus Session
TryExec=/etc/X11/Sessions/Oroborus
#Exec=/usr/bin/oroborus
Exec=/home/drphibes/wmgrs/oroborus-start |
Restarted my system, many times, and all I see is the blank desktop, without key response.
I exited X and ran from the terminal
and received:
| Code: | | failed to open display (null)! |
Can someone help me? What the hell is going on?
