I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install, and compiled and installed the tarball of wmii 3.9.2 via 'make deb' and dpkg.
When using the default sh wmiirc, I have to manually set WMII_CONFPATH to ~/.wmii, or it tries writing to "/.wmii/foo". I set this in my ~/.bashrc, which does make it into my environment I followed sunaku's directions on the github wmiirc ruby page. I've used wmii on gentoo before, but wanted to get a setup going on Ubuntu before I started before modding stuff. However, while the window manager is running and managing windows, I don't get the menu. I've installed 'suckless-tools' package as well, in case it was trying to use dmenu. I thought that (for the same reason as WMII_CONFPATH) I might have to define WMII_NAMESPACE explicitly, but that doesn't seem to help. So ... help! Ideas? Cheers, __armando
