Subject: [gentoo-user] Fluxbox without/with gdm ?
Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2006 11:59:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.tdtiowx9lbd8ez@you.and.your.horse> (raw)
Tiring of bloat, I removed everything kde-ish and installed fluxbox -
without installing gdm (gdm was recommended in the Gentoo fluxbox doc, but
I figured I didn't need the GUI startup. (bloat avoidance)).
I tweaked .initrc, startx'd and fluxbox was great......... except....when
entering passwords (e.g. su; gpg), I'd frequently have to reenter 5-8
times.
Out of desparation, I emerged gdm (without xdm startup) and BANG -
password problem cured!
Please explain why this happened!? How does GDM affect fluxbox which is
invoked by startx/.initrc??
TIA
