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.

This should help: chmod by the numbers

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
