| israel | hi, I am looking into building a custom JWM based distro and wanted to know what needs to be installed, and configured to use oem-config properly. jwm does not use openbox or metacity, etc... (the oem-config recommends includes these in OR statements). Is there something for my xsession (or other) that I need to check, or disable? I can post a link to my xsession code located on launchpad | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | israel: just bsaed on the package names, it looks like you could pick a gtk based or a qt based frontend, whichever one would feel most appropriate.. | 01:18 |
| sarnold | israel: I've never run it before but I suspect if it depended upon a specific window manager, the deps would indicate that, so probably whatever window manager you use should work | 01:18 |
| israel | sarnold thanks, but it does not run correctly. on reboot (after preparing) it boots to a black screen. The gtk theme is also messed up if I run it from a working session | 01:19 |
| sarnold | israel: aha; anything in the logs or xsession-errors? | 01:20 |
| sarnold | israel: can you ssh -X -Y in to the host and run it that way? maybe it'll report errors differently in that case | 01:20 |
| israel | I have my own custom xsession, so is there something I need to be loading (or give permissions to) in order for things to run correctly? | 01:22 |

| sarnold | israel: sorry, I don't know. Does oem-config need to run as root? | 01:43 |
| israel | sarnold thanks for helping... the oem-config starts up at reboot automatically... and I do not think you need to run it as root, but it may need some permissions provided by a display manager like lightDM that I do not have using something else. | 01:45 |
| sarnold | israel: oh, interesting. hrmm. Sorry, I wish I could offer something better :) | 01:47 |
| israel | sarnold, yeah no problem... I am not sure who to ask, or where to start looking... as Ubuntu is so well integrated, I am not sure what I am supposed to look for :) | 01:48 |
