 |
|
Im building an HTPC, and I want mythfrontend to start when I log in, and when I exit mythfrontend I want the WM (fluxbox) to exit.
Im using entrance for the non-ugliness, but it seems it wont let me autostart stuff. For now I'd just like it to autostart mythfrotend... My ~/.xsession looks like this at the moment, although Ive changed it plenty...

Ive also tried exec, and the wait $pid thing. I made the file executable with chmod +x, and I know it recognises the file, since if I screw it up, it wont log in at all. Ive check all the various xseesion and xinitrc file in /etc and they all point to ~/.xsession.
Does anyone know what Im doing wrong? Is it entrance, fluxbox, xorg, or myself at fault?
Also, do you know how I can get it to exit when mythfrontend does? Im understand that the session will end when .xsession has been completed, so can I just reverse things to get it to work this way? I already tried stuff like...

Any ideas?
