Re: Slim can not switch windowmanagers

Thanks again, now it works!

Slim should be able to read /usr/share/xsessions and run whatever is chosen.

As for now, I will stay with GDM. I will put more effort into configuring Salix 15, whenever it comes.

Slim can not switch windowmanagers

Slim seems unable to start anything but Openbox. I have added the sessiondir to slim.conf, I can cycle through the alternatives using F1, but whatever I choose, I get Openbox. I tried to use GDM in stead (by changing the order in rc4), but I get Slim anyway. I think the best solution would be try re...

Well, it confuses some computers... It is no problem for me, I just reported it as an observation.

Re: 7.4 Can not start X, lilo can not find vmlinuz

Well, when installing, I first tried to install without grub and elilo, but then the installer would not run. I have refind, so I do not need them. So I did choose elilo for the first installation. When nothing worked I did a new installation from scratch (formatting the partition first). There was ...

Re: Purple-facebook plugin Invalid HTTP response code (400)

I think you have to use the latest version of Pidgin (2.13) probably combined with the latest purple-facebook, to make it work.

Re: Display Manager Blog post

As I have been playing around with some other distributions and systems and love using different window managers, I have tried most of the display managers. I also have my opinions about them, based only on practical use. Practical use in my case is choosing window manager and logging in and, less i...

Re: Can not start TWM

Thanks!

That probably also explains why I need the Tibetan machine font installed to use Helvetica too. However I will leave the locale as it is and TWM looking a bit like Windows10 as I do not know what effect a change would have on other applications.

Terminus is one of my preferred choices.
