Ahhhhh -x hhahaha i figured out myself...

well i hope it's right heheh

-x makes it no longer executable, to make it executable it's +x

So:
chmod +x /path/to/executable will make it executable. If you no longer want it executable:
chmod -x /path/to/executable will make it no longer executable.

Cool

Hahha it turned into a shell icon though, well thats not whats worrying me now.......i got fluxbox to load....by editing the IceWm setting....so instead of Ice it's now flux....so that's sweet, but i can't get Ice back (not that i use it) and also KDE doesn't load anymore....geeeez i didn't even TOUCH KDE settings....

Hmmmmm any ideas, i know i don't have much info about it, but i can't find it, well i don't know where to start finding it....

What did you edit? And when you say can't get it back, you mean you can't even select it? Or when you do select it, flux starts?

I edited it using gdmconfig in the Expert part, there was KDE and IceWM....i clicked on icewm and it had exec /bla/bla/bla/Xsession icewm so i took that out and put exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox and clicked apply then ok then restarted.....so now flux is selectable....ice is gone....kde doesn't load...it just goes back to GDM....

Can you try putting it back the way it was?

GT I.N.C · 11-02-2002, 05:01 AM

Yeh i guess i could do that, i'll try right now......

GT I.N.C · 11-02-2002, 05:09 AM

Ok it does the same thign as KDE does, just goes back to the GDM screen...unless i have the wrong exec script....i got ummmm...

KDE

Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession KDE

Ice

Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession icewm (not sure if thats right though)

MasterC · 11-02-2002, 09:09 AM

Try IceWM (notice case) since that's what you posted above

Cool

GT I.N.C · 11-02-2002, 06:28 PM

Ok i will do that when i get back home, well i don't really mind if i loose Ice, it's just that i may need KDE here and there, oh and flux is real nice!

Garry

Thanks again MasterC

I haven't done it yet, but doing a 'whereis' prints this

Code:

[root@localhost root]# whereis icewm
icewm: /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm /usr/bin/X11/icewm

Note: it's not in case, but i will try what you said anyway....

Garry

hmm... It might need case because it might be referring to an entry somewhere rather than the location of the wm itself. If that doesn't work, I will happily walk you through other ideas.
