So I'd have to edit my .Xinitrc every time I want to switch.
But at this point, installing LightDM or similar would be easier.
Hey thanks for the link, it makes me think I need to comment my .xinitrc file
(and others).
This helps understand what happens.
It makes me think that I want to write
I just saw the screen that you posted; very cool!
I'm running it 90% of the time and it's great !

Uruk seems easier since it's all set up out of the box. Thanks MD!
No, you don't have to edit the file. Let's imagine the following scenario. I
run FVWM, and when FVWM is the only window manager installed, running startx
on its own should begin FVWM. Now I want to switch to Ratpoison. I delete
FVWM and install Ratpoison, then running startx starts Ratpoison.
Thankfully, for now I want to stick to one environment. But that means every
time you want to switch to another environment, you have to edit that file??
Even if it's only commenting out a line, it's not the most practical.
Maybe there's some kind of CLI (or tty, not sure about that) GDM versio
What I mean regarding startx being problematic is that you have to specify in
the .Xinitrc what environment X should load, which is pretty intimidating for
someone not familiar with the command line interface.
If you know how I am sure it's pretty straightforward. It has been going
since the
Definitely. In my experience, LightDM needs some tweaking but is functional
out of the box. You indeed shouldn't need to manually start X in that case.
I didn't know that startx could be problematic with more than one
environment, thanks for the info.
Can't they just install lightdm, with either unity-greeter or the
lightdm-gtk-greeter, or even GDM?
Add the MATE development PPA as directed here:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-mate then do the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment lightdm unit
Will MATE launch automatically when I subsequently turn my computer on?
No, you need to start X (I don't remember, but I think the command is
"startx"). At least that's what I had to do with my i3wm install until I
configured a file to make it start without my input.
You'll definitely have a
I think you can install a minimal base system from any ISO. Just do the text
installer and leave all desktop out. Then install X and add MATE or any other
DE. You'll have to install all other programs one by one if they are not
included in MATE. The usual repos are there, so it's no big deal
Hi,
I installed MATE [1] with Trisquel and noticed that I had a number of
duplicate programs (eg. two different file browsers).
I can avoid duplicate programs with netinstall + MATE, right? Are there any
extra steps necessary for a fully functional desktop with GUI? Will MATE
launch aut
