Notion Wm

Unread post by simgin » Mon Jan 07, 2013 9:53 pm

Hello all :)

I'm trying the Oyster with bags of Wms , and it runs into an error when startup, just after I enter Login & Password . I'm testing it in a VM, and the other Wms are fine, just not Notion.

It says : >>Unknown class "WTiling" , cannot create region.

Rest of the text is about making a backup of the .lua file if you are running a session.


Cheers
Simgin

PS: this is bloody fun all this WM hopping :o)

Yep, there are two WMs that don't play well on Oyster when they are installed with other WMs. You can read about the testing phase here: http://linuxnoob.freeforums.org/post5163.html#p5163
Remember that Oyster is an Alpha release (so, around 5 steps away from being stable) and that those fubar Wms will be dropped if they don't comply.

FWIW, apt-get install notion, you can try to pull this on a Debian netinstall + xserver-xorg-* and see if it satisfies.

Thank you for the quick reply MB
Sorry I missed the Alpha version bit, I've been too busy curious with the WMs.

I was surprised about the speed of Metacity, didn't expect that tbh :)
Welldone!
