Hi,

I updated my system and beside others, Xorg got updated. Now, when I
log in with SLIM, fluxbox does not start anymore. I just get into an
ugly x-session.

In my ~/.xinitrc I have exec startfluxbox which always got me into
fluxbox after log in with SLIM. This is according to
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/fluxbox-config.xml

Killing X and then startx as user (non-root) I get into fluxbox...

Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hey,

Try checking for a .xinitrc (if you're using that) in your user home dir.
I had the same issue and i had only corrected the .xinitrc for root :-)

Hi, remove the line "exec startfluxbox" in your .xinitrc and append startfluxbox to sessions in /etc/slim.conf like this:
# Available sessions (first one is the default).# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessionsÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* startfluxbox,compiz-session,startlxde,openbox
And try to login again. Maybe it helps.

I think that the OP's problem was caused by rc.conf not being sourced
by the latest baselayout. Have a look at this thread:

Hi,

sorry for late reply. I was on a business trip.

Mick's link got me to the solution of the problem. Related information
can also be found under
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml

echo 'XSESSION="fluxbox"' > /etc/env.d/90xsession

solved my problem.

(Now I've got to find out what other impacts this "Baselayout and
OpenRC Migration Guide" causes...)

Thanks for your tips!
