[gentoo-user] SLiM fails to load Fluxbox
Dear all, I'm using x11-misc/slim as a login manager, and I have troubles with loading any DE other than Xfce. I've followed the wiki entry [1], but I must still be doing something wrong: it fails to load Fluxbox whether I select Fluxbox or Xfce with F1. It's actually quite funny: selecting Fluxbox I get Xfce loaded on top of Fluxbox; in this case, when I log out of Xfce I fall back onto Fluxbox. I suspect that an xfce entry is left in some init script, but i cannot figure out where it would be. Thanks, Liviu [1] http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/SLiM [I] x11-misc/slim Installed versions: 1.3.1-r5(16:01:49 08/04/09)(branding pam screenshot) [I] x11-wm/fluxbox Installed versions: 1.0.0-r2(15:08:30 12/10/08)(gnome imlib nls slit toolbar truetype -kde -vim-syntax -xinerama) li...@localhost ~ $ rc-status default | grep -i xdm xdm[ started ] li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/conf.d/xdm | grep -i slim DISPLAYMANAGER=slim li...@localhost ~ $ cat .xinitrc #SLiM session call DEFAULT_SESSION=dbus-launch startxfce4 case $1 in fluxbox) exec startfluxbox ;; *) exec $DEFAULT_SESSION ;; esac # load local modmap test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep -i login_cmd login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep -i sessions sessionsxfce,fluxbox li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep -i sessionst #sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l :0.0 %user #sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l :0.0 %user

That would explain why you have fluxbox and xfce both started simultaneously. You need to put the whole thing in quotes, like so: DEFAULT_SESSION=dbus-launch startxfce4 case $1 in fluxbox) exec startfluxbox ;; *) exec $DEFAULT_SESSION ;; esac # load local modmap test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep -i login_cmd login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep -i sessions sessionsxfce,fluxbox li...@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep -i sessionst #sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l :0.0 %user #sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l :0.0 %user HTH -- Marc Joliet -- Lt.

Now it works fine. I also put the info in the wiki article. Thanks. Liviu
