Slim + GNOME
Hi,
I'm having difficulties to start a session using slim login manager.
It keeps trying to start a ubuntu session, i know that i should set it to start gnome-session --session=gnome-classic, but where?
Trisquel with GNOME won't create a xinitrc file, should i?
Am i missing a trick that i'm not aware of?
have any of you made that combination (GNOME+slime)?.
Thanks in advance :)
Well, i figured it out.
I had to add, gnome-session-classic to look like this line,
sessions gnome-session-classic,default,startxfce4,openbox,ion3,...
on the /etc/slim.conf file.
That was enough to start the trisquel-gnome session with slim instead of GDM.
Thanks anyway, see you around!
Now on a i915 video driver machine i had an issue that will prevent slim to start, i changed the
/etc/init.d/slim
This part commented out a line and add others,
#commented line # start-stop-daemon --start --quiet $SSD_START_ARGS || echo -n " already running" #== added lines if [ "$(pidof slim)" ]; then echo -n " already running" else exec /usr/bin/slim fi #==
Hope it's helpful to someone else, i had so many issues with slim, so i changed to lightdm and with the correct configuration it works great.
Cheers!
