 |
|
Hi,all. I have a problem with gnome-terminal in my Openbox3. I try to start X automatically as login by adding a startx.sh in the /etc/profile.d/ directory. And the startx.sh just has only one line:startx. When I login, it work very well as I want. However, when I start a terminal(the gnome-terminal exactly) in Openbox, it prompts: can't start X, X is running. I'm sure the reason it that the gnome-terminal is running /etc/profile again. It seems that gnome-terminal is always started as a login shell, and leads to always run /etc/profile.
And then I try to use lxterminal instead. It has no problem like gnome-terminal. But under lxterminal, I find the vim become extremely slow, however, vim is very fast under gnome-terminal.
How can I solve those problems?
Best regards. |

| Why don't you just use /etc/init.d/xdm to start X? |

I have this into my ~/.xinitrc :
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session fvwm-crystal 2> .errors_fvwm-crystal |

Also, you must not make a custom script called startx.sh. It is already a program called startx into your system, and you can configure it into ~/.xinitrc

It is a long story. With wm like fvwm or openbox, their developers recommend to launch them with startx because it is simpler (from the system point of vue) and they can sometime interfere with the wm, making debugging harder, or causing strange problems.
Also, on gentoo, startx is installed by default and very easy to configure.

Dominique_71, thanks for your reply. I really have such stuff in my ~/.xinitrc:
| Code: | | exec openbox-session |
but I try to make it more automatically. that is when I login, namely, after type the password and tap enter, I want gentoo to run startx automatically. |

You can try to add "startx" at the end of your ~/.bash_profile file. Never tried it, but it should work,

Yeah, I also think the issue is related to gnome-terminal.
And accidentally, I found if I start vim without ~/.vimrc file in lxterminal, vim is very fast. However, even start with an empty vimrc file, vim becomes very slow again. When tested under gnome-terminal, vim has no such problem. Then I think there is also a problem with lxterminal.
And adding a startx line to the ~/.bash_profile has a same result as adding my startx.sh file to /etc/profile.d directory. |
