<0> and to write a shell script to run X, and gnome, and my window manager....
<0> where is .xinitrc??
<1> i.e. one line in .xinitrc: gnome-session
<1> normally in your home directory, if you've created one.
<0> ohkay, i will look real quick
<0> sorry, i should of wrote this all down, i am now
<0> how do i kill enlightenmnet?
<0> in the terminal just type kill enlightenment?
<1> actually, no. You can leave E going.
<1> You do realise you can run most gnome programs standalone, as such?
<0> yah, with GTK,
<0> i just don't know what they are called, or how to run them with out the UI :-\
<1> not ... quite.
<1> You start up X, like you have done. You start the gnome program. Simple.
<1> i.e. for the panel at the top/bottom of the screen, you use "panel &"
<1> but really, gnome-session handles most of that.
<0> ohkay, under my "home" for my main user,
<0> all i have is a folder "Mail"
<0> erm, directory i mean
<0> is that where .xinitrc should be?
<1> no. It's a "hidden" file, so doesn't show up.
<0> ohkay, unless its in a folder, the only files i have are .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc and .fonts.cache-1
<2> fojackeddol: u might not have that file since its optional, create one
<1> then in that case, you need to create it.
<0> ohkay, created it, and named it .xinitrc
<1> here's a nice simple way: echo "gnome-session" >> .xinitrc
<2> you can add progs to boot like put "xmms &" before "gnome-session" and youre in business
<0> isn't xmss a screen saver??
<1> one helpful one to add is "xterm &" before the gnome-session line
<1> and no.
<1> well, xmss might be, but xmms isn't. It plays music
<0> ohh
<1> I don't HAVE a "xmss"
<0> ohkay, blooh
<1> but I'm playing music in xmms right now.
<0> haha, i see i see.... i ****
<0> ohkay,
<0> and what will make it so that.... when i type in "startx" at the terminal, it will run what is in .xintrc?
<1> it does that anyhow.
<0> ohkay,
<1> as in: X will look for a .xinitrc as it calls bits of itself.
<1> However,' shut down X, start it all up again. See what happens.
<1> Be aware you won't end up with enlightenment. it'll probably be metacity.
<0> oh, when i type startx, it says it can't fine program
<2> enter full path then
<2> of its wrongly installed
<1> hrm.
<0> ohkay, full path works just fine
<1> try this: echo $PATH
<1> you might need to add /usr/X11R6/bin to that path
<2> /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
<0> how do i edit $PATH? nano $PATH ??
<2> yo do you have the fluxbox bin installed first
<2> check it out it might be /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
<2> oh
<0> i dont ahve have that,
<2> i thought u were installing fluxbox, sorry
<2> my error
<0> oh, s'ok,
<1> fojackedddol: actually, that PATH is found in .bashrc
<1> or .bash_profile
<0> oh kay... im editing .bash_profile
<1> is there a "PATH= ......." in there?
<0> i dont see that in .bashrc,
<0> lemme look at profile
<2> PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
<2> export PATH
<1> flush: yeah, but he'll need that whenever he logs back in...
<1> that's why I suggested he edit .bash_profile
<2> hrm
<2> i didnt know that
<2> we learn every day ;P
<1> We do.
<0> ohkay, in bash profile i have # PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
<1> yup. on the end of that, add this: :/usr/X11R6/bin
<1> then write the file back to disc
<1> log out, then log back in.
<0> ahh, brilliantly brilliant... startx starts X, genius...
<0> or
<0> nevermind
<3> lmao
<0> it says "specify a program on the command line or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path
<1> fojackedddol: yeah. We just did that.
<0> hrmm
<2> Viking667: you sure you cant export by the way i thought and keep it from goin away after reb00t?
<2> im sure i used to set my my $PATH for fluxbox that way..
<4> !slackware
<5> slackware is, like, what we used to use before we had real distributions, or has 4,999 users, now that zatmac uses debian, or for the terminally masochistic, or if i want a copy of PV's harddrive, i ask him myself.
