how 2 make fluxbox a session?
i recently removed the kde/gnome sessions from my system. i use the dull x login manager and it seems to think that i don't have a desktop environment on my system (it just sits there at a monochrome screen with an X as the cursor). i've been using fluxbox so is there a way to tell the login manager to log in using the fluxbox session?

Edit your ~/.xinitrc and add the following line:
Code:
exec /path/to/fluxbox |
Quote:
case "$1" in fluxbox) exec fluxbox ;; in my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession file but that doesn't work either. |
you have to create the .xinitrc file in your home directory...you can do this by opening a terminal and simply typing touch .xinitrc
then add the info posted above and it should work for ya :) |
still doesn't work :( should i just give up and reinstall flux? i was using kdm before xdm when i was using flux so that might be the problem. i also installed flux through apt, do i need to compile and install it myself?

Try editing your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc@ file.
