ATM I have a shiny new comp, so i'm in a "I have a hammer, and everything looks like a nail"-situation. I'm going to reinstall Gentoo, as I'd like to get a Linux distro and WMII installed, to be productive (suddenly realized I wasn't in the mood to learn Ubuntu/Debian). When I get to the WMII install, if the issue with 3.9.2 disappears, or is resolved by using hg tip, I'll post my results here.
Thanks, and cheers, __armando On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 11:38 AM, Kris Maglione <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 11:31:27AM -0500, Armando Di Cianno wrote: >> >> I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install, and compiled and installed the >> tarball of wmii 3.9.2 via 'make deb' and dpkg. >> >> When using the default sh wmiirc, I have to manually set WMII_CONFPATH >> to ~/.wmii, or it tries writing to "/.wmii/foo".
