Slim -- LXSLIM

[Neal ManBear]

Slim is a lightweight DM. At present, it does not start LXDE. I tried a simple edit of the present RPM; the xinitrc patch needed an entry for lxde. That resulted in an error about the XFCE4 entry.

So I've been trying to redo it as lxslim. I renamed the patch files needed to lx~ and removed the XFCE4 entry that had given problems. Any road, this time the error is that there's a malformed line in the xinitrc patch. @@ -17,6 +29,12 @@ is the line.

+ echo 'Patch #3 (lxslim-1.3.0-xinitrc.patch):'
Patch #3 (lxslim-1.3.0-xinitrc.patch):
+ patch -p1 -s
patch: **** malformed patch at line 23: @@ -17,6 +29,12 @@

I'm attaching the patch file, if anyone is interested.

Hi,

Just saw your post and your patche. We use ConsoleKit to manage the sessions, so the command in $HOME/.xinitrc for Lxde would be:

Code: [Select]

exec ck-launch-session lxsession
for openbox only:

Code: [Select]

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

The question is moot now. The LXDE team is writing their own login manager.

So what login manager did you use in the betas?

GDM is still the default. The LXDE team has not released their login manager yet.
