I've installed Fluxbox from the repository.
How do I add a Fluxbox entry to the GDM?

You can start by searching the wiki.

Yeah, lol, quite a good idea!

Well, fine, but I need to use root privilege and I never trust myself when it comes to "myself, root and gui", though I've done suck thing many many times with a 100% success every time.
I'll create the file
fluxbox.desktop with the following content
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Name=Fluxbox
Exec=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fluxbox
to my home folder.
How to copy that file
into
/usr/share/xsessions/ with command-line only, please?

Here's a script for you:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
cat << EOF > /usr/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Name=Fluxbox
Exec=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fluxbox
EOF
chmod 644 /usr/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop
or if you have a ready made .desktop file this should do it:
Code: Select all
install -m 0644 ./fluxbox.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/

@pwatk
Thank you, I used the 2nd way, the command-line.
What 0644 & 644 stand for? where can I find more information?
man install & install --help don't seem to be "appealing".

The -m option sets permission modes the same as chmod! Try
man ginstall .

I got it already
My question was about the numbers 0644 and 644 (is there any index or a lexicon for this numbers?)
Code: Select all
-m, --mode=MODE
set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x
Oh, well, I'll look into it later when I'll have the time.

EXACTLY, thank you, pwatk
damNageHack, thank you to you too, as well, lol
I'm sure that you could send the link earlier than pwatk if I was connected to Jabber
