 Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2006 1:15 pm Post subject: gdm DOES NOT execute ~/.xinitrc nor ~/.xsession |
 |
|
/etc/rc.conf
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
SESSION="Gnome"
~/.xinitrc
exec xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" &
exec imwheel -k -b "67" &
exec numlockx &
exec gnome-session
When I use gdm to login my numlock isn't enable nor does my mouse scroll work.
HOW CAN I TELL gdm TO EXECUTE ~/.xinitrc WHEN I LOGIN? |

It isn't supposed to: just imagine if you had (like me) twm in .xinitrc and then open a gnome session from gdm. If it did load .xinitrc it would be a disaster, since it would try to run two wm simultaneously.
Kde has two way of starting applications at the start of the session, one system-wide and one per-user: if you're using Gnome, just see what it's got, there's surely a similar way.

there are files that gdm execute on login in /etc/X11/gdm. there are files there called Presession, Postlogin etc. they do what you think.
other than that, you can make a script for your stuff and it to gnome's start up session.
preferences -> sessions.

If if you do get it reading your .xinitrc, or move these commands to another file, it won't work as written.
When you exec a program it won't return to the script, so the file above would run imwheel and never see any of the other commands.

Hey Ferdinando,
i have a similar problem here (as posted here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-446170-highlight-kde+xinitrc.html )
now my question is, what is the way in kde, to start applications at the start of the session per user?
Any help appreciated.
Greetings
DonMartio

Afaik you only need to put executable files in ~/.kde/Autostart/ and they'll get started with the user's permissions; but I've never tried that. The system wide dir is /usr/kde/${ver}/env/; it's still executed with the user's permissions, so you can use that too, and basically if there's only one user the two solutions are equivalent.
