I installed Xubuntu on a USB stick following the excellent instructions on the OLPC News Forum. From there, it was a simple matter to apt-get ratpoison and create a .xsession file with "exec ratpoison" to start it. However, I would like to be able to run ratpoison instead of Sugar sometimes on the stock Fedora install that comes on the XO. Has anyone been able to do this?
I tried creating a .xsession file for xfce and that worked (following the instructions here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xfce), so I thought it would work for ratpoison as well. Unfortunately it didn't. All I did was 'yum install ratpoison' and created a .xsession file with 'exec ratpoison' in it. However, all that happens is that X starts up and dies, starts and dies, starts and dies, etc until I break in and delete the .xsession file from the console. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what might work? Note: I also posted this question to the OLPC News Forum: http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1955.0 TIA, Bill Clementson _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
