[zvacet]

Title tell you all I want to know.Which lines I have to add and how do they look in slim.xinitrc to get e17 running as alternative desktop.I ask this because I try to do it myself and failed.I needed help from others to get working Wolvix.I don´t want to repeat that mistake.Tnx!

hey zvacet,
there are TWO files you need to edit for slim to start a wm:
/etc/slim.conf   and  /usr/share/slim/slim.xinitrc

in /etc/slim.conf  look  for the 'sessions' line and make it

Code:

sessions      xfce,fluxbox,openbox,e17

Then open your /usr/share/slim/slim.xinitrc from

Code:

case $1 in
xfce4)
exec startxfce4
;;

fluxbox)
exec startfluxbox
;;

openbox)
        exec openbox-session
        ;;

*)
exec startxfce4
;;
esac

to

Code:

case $1 in
xfce4)
exec startxfce4
;;

fluxbox)
exec startfluxbox
;;

openbox)
        exec openbox-session
        ;;

e17)
exec enlightenment_start
;;

*)
exec startxfce4
;;
esac

^should do it.

Sorry but it doesn´t work.I get message "failed to execute login command" or something similar to that.

Hi zvacet,

only to be sure: Are you aware that the last three lines in the quote are missing?

Code:


case $1 in
xfce4)
   exec startxfce4
   ;;

fluxbox)
   exec startfluxbox
   ;;

openbox)
        exec openbox-session
        ;;

icewm)
   exec enlightenment_start
   ;;

*)

*editing origional post to correct my errors***  ^^^

It was strange to me to see icewm and e17 under it,but I just copy/paste without thinking.My mistake.Now  is working.Thanks for help and time.

great. i'm glad you got it going.  btw if you're using the e17 package that i compiled you should note that it was the current svn of ONE YEAR AGO hehe so i'm sure there's been some updates since then. once wolvix is safely off the ground again maybe i (or somebody) can make a current package.

Please in future package include  emodule-tclock.I´m not young anymore so digital clock look like better solution at least for senior population.
