 Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 2:38 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Changing window managers How-To |
 |
|
I am currently using metacity and nautilus on my new gentoo installation (default) and would like to change to enlightenment and no nautilus. How do I go about killing nautilus and metacity and replacing it with enlightenment so that when I log in to X, it starts by default.

| Code: | | emerge enlightenment |
edit /etc/rc.conf, (a) set XSESSION="enlightenment" (Check in the /etc/X11/Sessions directory for the correct session name and case) and (b) set DISPLAYMANAGER="entrance" |

Use another file manager.
Do a search of these forums, there are lots of topics with recommendations.  |

| Do you have to even have a file manager? I would be completely happy to not have a file manager at all |

No one says you must have one. There's always trusty /bin/bash (or zsh or csh or...)  |

That's what I wish to do, I'm just not sure how to disable nautilus. |

You could always ... That will uninstall it entirely. Is that what you're looking for?
That being said, are you sure you really want to do that?  |

I mean that for my regular user session, I don't want nautilus to automagically load when I log in to gnome.
and I don't want to emerge -C nautilus... I just don't want it to run |

But you are changing window managers, right?
You won't be logging into gnome at all

Ok... here is what i am trying to accomplish...
1. I wanted to change from metacity to enlightenment [complete]
2. I want to stop nautilus from starting when I log in [incomplete]
That's all 
I just need to know how to keep nautilus from starting. I don't want to run anything like nautilus either. |

That sounds like it's made it into your ~/.xinitrc file, or maybe your ~/.xsession or something like that. I'd be surprised if it is, but you never know.
Hell, I'm a Fluxbox user that pops open Konqueror once in a while. |
