You mean the sideways titlebars? That's the window manager WM2. The font is ohsnap.

Is the issue with booting WM's related to ALL of the lisp WM's? I haven't looked into all of them yet, but I'll tackle that this week if I get time. Toss me a list of ones that you know don't work so I don't miss one if you don't mind.

Yes, I believe it is a lisp issue of some sort (missing packages?). They fail with cryptic lisp errors (maybe not cryptic to you). stumpwm and clfswm are the main culprits.

[machinebacon]

clfswm and stumpwm definitely don't start up. Sawfish shouldn't, but does (no idea how much LISP has to do with it).

Thanks Joe!

[DebianJoe]

All Lisp is cryptic. :D I'll play with them to see if I can figure out why they're breaking and hopefully have you an answer soon.

@pids

thanks
thats exactly what i mean
and that exactly blows

[piotr5]

part of the lisp-problems can be solved by

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf
sudo ln -s /usr/share/common-lisp/source/clfswm/contrib/asdf.lisp /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/asdf.lisp

in a terminal.

clfswm still doesn't work, but stumpwm does. if you make a bugfix-release, don't forget to fix the font-problem too!

Thanks. Both lisp-based wm's are already fixed for the next release (featuring over 60WMs at the moment, I'm trying to scratch 100 somehow)

[tamikan]

my computer got gangbanged by this edition of linuxbbq and I simply wanna say thank you it's a well thought spin off. Made me discover all those underground wm lol that's pretty nice

Checking this out tonight if I get time. Definitely worth experiencing.

[rust collector]

you won't try all of that in one night... have fun!

[Options]

Haha very true.
