bvc Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 open the one for gnome, if you have one, in /etc/X11/wdsession (is that the right name? :woops: ...been a while...I startx from init 3)..... edit it to point to garnome's gnome-session, and a diff name etc... and save it as whatever...GarNome?

brucedjones Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) well im using GDM supplied with garnome (which is jsut gnome 2.8.0 btw) so i wouldnt of thought that would work as garnome resides within my home directory, but correct me if im wrong becuase it would be nice to have a computer that works alright for once.

bvc Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 well did it work? /etc/X11/wmsession.d/GNOME NAME=GNOMEICON=gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png DESC=GNOME Environment EXEC=/usr/bin/startgnome SCRIPT: exec /usr/bin/startgnome garnome example NAME=GARNOMEICON=gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png DESC=GARNOME EXEC=/opt/garnome/usr/bin/gnome-session SCRIPT: exec /opt/garnome/usr/bin/gnome-session Also, you're compiling from source to install in non-standard dir's and complaining that it's not working? You're the one tinkering, the OS is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
