Hi all! I wanted to say thank you to you all for patience and your help. I've finished now, more or less, my installation with a "custom made" jwm desktop. So far, so fine.
The remaining logout problem, seems to be solved by the installation of lxdm (which is not that much bigger than slim; i also had a look at mdm, but it's enormous, in comparison). With lxdm, my logouts go back to the login like they are expected to do; with slim and with lightdm i always ended in dead screen with underline cursor, inactive, up left. Apparently like the shutdown xserver was unable to pass back to the login manager (also true when i killed the xserver with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp). This did *NOT* happen when i started without login manager (by startx). Now, my ~/.xsessionrc looks like this, it's very primitive, i know: --- #!/bin/bash xrdb -merge .Xresources setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp exec jwm exit 0 --- In lxdm, beside some "artwork", i set this options: --- [server] ## arg used to start xserver, not fully function arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1 # uncomment this if you really want xserver listen to tcp # tcp_listen=1 # uncoment this if you want reset the xserver after logout # reset=1 ---- By default, all were commented out, but i thought the first one might be useful to avoid my ugly logout problem (??) It seems to me, lxdm does not look into /usr/share/xsessions but reads by default this file (when i took out the "exec jwm") lxdm did not start anything although it recignized there are also lxde and openbox (in /usr/share/xsessions), i'd like to know, if there is a way to state in .xsessionrc, that there are other sessions which could be started if chosen in lxdm (with jwm in any case as default)? Then it would be perfect :) As for the rest, "my" desktop consists in a relative elaborated configuration which for the most part i stole from Manjaro OpenRC JWM + pcmanfm. If one would like, pcmanfm could even put the trash, devices and other icons on the desktop. Plus a Plank starterbar at the bottom. (Plank and lxdm, i got from the ascii repositories; jwm is the jessie default one). If you'd like i could post somewhere a screenshot, so you can see that it's not "debianized" :) Cheers. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
