I've installed Fluxbox from the repository.
How do I add a Fluxbox entry to the GDM?
I've installed Fluxbox, now how do I start it?

Yeah, lol, quite a good idea!gapan wrote:You can start by searching the wiki.

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
How to copy that file into /usr/share/xsessions/ with command-line only, please?

Here's a script for you:
or if you have a ready made .desktop file this should do it:
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
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 .
Re: I've installed Fluxbox, now how do I start it?
I got it already
My question was about the numbers 0644 and 644 (is there any index or a lexicon for this numbers?)Oh, well, I'll look into it later when I'll have the time.

-m, --mode=MODE
set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x

This is the oppinion of the author, it does not force you to share and is signed automatically.
You are free to keep them all errors for your own. Linux is the best game I ever played.

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
