SoulNothing 0 Posted September 30, 2004 i just finished installing ubuntu and i was wondering if there is an easy way to install x11 through synaptic or apt get the reason is so i can use fluxbox and thats bout it thanks in advance Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted September 30, 2004 I'm confused. ubuntu did not set up the Xserver for you? you have no graphical desktop? If you have gnome running then X should be there. Thenyou can just type sudo apt-get install fluxbox. Share this post Link to post
SoulNothing 0 Posted September 30, 2004 all right i found it i had to mess around with the login and in doing so i set it to xdm so how do i get it permanently back to gdm Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted October 1, 2004 edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager with your editor of choice... vi of course then put in one line /usr/bin/gdm save the file and then restart X pkill X will kill then respawn the x server Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted October 1, 2004 IceWM is a good choice for windows manager/DE if ubuntu offers it. vi rules... Share this post Link to post
SoulNothing 0 Posted October 1, 2004 thanks dapper dan ive tried icewm but my favorite has to be fluxbox and gnome fluxbox for unbloated gnome for a more polished enviroment thanks give that a try later Share this post Link to post
