 |
|
before i switched to gentoo i had my /etc/X11/Sessions/fluxbox configured to run a few programs on startup. i can't seem to do it aymore. here's what i tried for starting a gnome panel:
after the fluxbox command
panel &
panel
exec panel &
i also tried using my ~/.xsession file
with
exec gnome
etc...
i really dont know what i'm doing, can someone tell me the correct syntax for this? do i need a #! /bin/sh or something at the top of these files?
thanks... |

Well for starters, fluxbox should be the last command in your startup scripts, so it should go something like this:
You want to make sure that all the commands before your window manager are backgrounded with a & and that the window manager is launched last in the foreground (no &). You may also need to use the full path to the programs (they're usually in /usr/bin). Try that and see how it works.

I have the following in my .xinitrc file:
| Code: |
wmapmload &
wmclockmon &
wmcpuload &
wmnetload &
wmmemload &
idesk &
Esetroot -f ~/Backgrounds/deviantart/urban_pandemonium.jpg
xscreensaver -nosplash &
fluxbox
|
And it works fine  Just remember -as the other poster pointed out- to start fluxbox as the last thing and in the foreground.

This is my .xinitrc and it works fine also :
| Code: | charli@gentoo:~$ cat .xinitrc
PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin"
# désactiver la mise en veille et activer les options energy star
#xset s off
xset dpms 600 60 60
# gestionnaire de fenêtres
fluxbox & wmpid=$!
wmclockmon &
yawmppp &
wmmemload &
wmcpuload &
wmix &
bbrun &
idesk &
# POINT de BLOCAGE - attend la sortie du gestionnaire de fenêtres
wait $wmpid

Maybe you can look the documentation from flubox about .xinitrc and .xsession :
