Welcome to antiX.

Which version of antiX are you using? The base or full version?

Post the contents of these 2 files.

/etc/slim.conf
.xinitrc (This is a hidden file in your user directory)

hi anticapitalista, thanks.

I have the full version installed.. here the files :

slim.conf :

Code: Select all

# Path, X server and arguments (if needed)
# Note: -xauth $authfile is automatically appended
default_path        ./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
default_xserver     /usr/X11R6/bin/X
xserver_arguments   -dpi 96

# Commands for halt, login, etc.
halt_cmd            /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd          /sbin/shutdown -r now
console_cmd         /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login"
#suspend_cmd        /usr/sbin/suspend

# Full path to the xauth binary
xauth_path         /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth

# Xauth file for server
authfile           /var/run/slim.auth


# Activate numlock when slim starts. Valid values: on|off
numlock             off

# Hide the mouse cursor (note: does not work with some WMs).
# Valid values: true|false
hidecursor          true

# This command is executed after a succesful login.
# you can place the %session and %theme variables
# to handle launching of specific commands in .xinitrc
# depending of chosen session and slim theme
#
# NOTE: if your system does not have bash you need
# to adjust the command according to your preferred shell,
# i.e. for freebsd use:
# login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xsession %session
login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
#
# sessionstart_cmd   some command
# sessionstop_cmd   some command

# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can overridden by the command line
# option "-d"
# daemon   yes

# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions            icewm,fluxbox,xfce

# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
screenshot_cmd      scrot /tmp/slim.png

# welcome message. Available variables: %host, %domain
welcome_msg         (Press F1 to toggle sessions)

# shutdown / reboot messages
shutdown_msg       The system is shutting down...
reboot_msg         The system is rebooting...

# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
#default_user        simone

# current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to
# randomly choose from
current_theme       antiX

# Lock file
lockfile            /var/run/slim.lock

# Log file
logfile             /var/log/slim.log


PS: How i can edit this file?(.xinitrc) i see this file with ls -la command.. but i dont know how edit him. (and show you of course xD).

::edit: ups, i think edit the /etc/X11/init/initrc file.. , you need this file too?
regards anticapitalista

That slim.conf file is ok.

To open the other file, open a terminal and type (just copy/paste it)

leafpad .xinitrc

and edit it to this:

case $1 in
icewm)
exec icewm
;;

openbox)
exec openbox-session
;;

fvwm-crystal)
exec fvwm-crystal
;;

lxsession)
exec lxsession
;;

fluxbox)
exec startfluxbox
;;
*)
exec startfluxbox
;;
esac

Close and save, logout and at login screen press F1 til you see xfce and you should now be able to login to an xfce desktop

hi again.

Ok, the file is like you say:

Code: Select all

case $1 in
icewm)
exec icewm
;;

openbox)
exec openbox-session
;;

fvwm-crystal)
exec fvwm-crystal
;;

lxsession)
exec lxsession
;;

fluxbox)
exec startfluxbox
;;
*)
exec startfluxbox
;;
esac

And, still dont work :S (when i put XFCE and push F1, fluxbox start)

Sorry!.

I have XFCE alredy up!

here my xinitrc:

Code: Select all

case $1 in
icewm)
exec icewm
;;

xfce4)
exec startxfce4
;;

fvwm-crystal)
exec fvwm-crystal
;;

lxsession)
exec lxsession
;;

fluxbox)
exec startfluxbox
;;
*)
exec startxfce4
;;
esac

Thanks for all! Realy Good job with the distro! (is amazing).

regards from Dominican republic ::)

Sorry my mistake, I posted my new .xinitrc and not the old one with xfce included.

Anyhow, glad you are up and running.

Have fun with antiX.
