Install sidbang, and having issues...
I have installed sidbang. When at tty1 I did username gooberfoob, and created the user profile the password. Rebooted, and back at tty1 I logged in as gooberfoob and as I typed startX, it failed. When I log in as root and use the password I created in the installation gui I can start startX. I am not sure why this is happening. Attached are pictures, sorry about the low quality.

Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
I would recommend to delete gooberfoob, create gooberfoob user again, and give it a password.
Log in as root, do not start X, but issue:
deluser gooberfoob
adduser gooberfoob
Hope it helps.

I deleted gooberfoob and added gooberfoob again. I logged in as gooberfoob, and did startx and still got the same result.

Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
Oh, another question:
can you log in as 'bbq' with password 'bbq'? This should actually work...

Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
I was requested to post my .xinitrc file
is this the right file ?
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# This is a sample .xinitrc file (to be executed with xinit or startx)
# source the Xresources for the terminal
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &
# Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the X session
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
# sets your keyboard to 'us' keymap
setxkbmap us &
# call /usr/include/ulimit.h
ulimit -c unlimited &
# helpful to have keycombos set - see also ~/.xbindkeysrc
xbindkeys &
# set a solid background
xsetroot -solid "#1a1a1a" &
# make the cursor point in the 'right' direction
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
# set a wallpaper after 2 seconds
sleep 2s && hsetroot -fill /usr/share/wallpapers/black-minimalistic.jpg &
# this makes dual heads work better
#vgascript &
# got time?
#sleep 2s && osd_clock -f -*-neep-*-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*- -c white -s 1 -r -t -o -14 &
# candy
#compton -bcCGf -i 0.8 -e 0.8 --no-fading-openclose &
# execute session:
# if you have consolekit and dbus running:
#exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session cwm
# else something like:
exec cwm

Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
It is the right file, but the last line is wrong. Replace it:
You can either use "startx" or "bbqlogin" to start the session.
Code: Select all
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
Thank you. See the post above ;) this will fix everything.
You can additionally edit /etc/skel/.xinitrc and apply the same changes there. This will be valid for future newly created users then.
Sorry for the inconvenience, you can blame me personally :)

Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
THANK YOU it worked !!!!
Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
Also, you might want to comment out the xbindkeys, or install it if you use it. At least according to the second screenshot.
Random terrible things.
Re: Install sidbang, and having issues...
i edited your post with the xinitrc, added code-tags for readability and such. glad it works :)
All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.

And I moved your other duplicate support topic to /tmp/dumpster. This is not a bad thing, just cleaning up a now-useless duplicate topic.
