Window Maker won't start

Window Maker won't start

Post by Kazem Edmo » Mon, 02 Jul 2001 11:06:36



I installed WindowMaker under Suse Linux 7.1 using the following
commands:

./configure
make
make install
ldconfig
su root
make install
wmaker.inst

Then I typed "startx" and bingo, I'm in WindowMaker.

After I go back to the command line and try to restart WindowMaker,
lets say after a reboot, it does not work.  It'll go to a screen with
that grey pattern, and nothing else (no WMaker icon in the upper left
hand corner), and the immediately quit and tell me about some error
and WMaker files not in some directory.  But they must have been there
since it worked before, right?

What am I to do?

Thanks.

Have you ran wmaker.inst as a regular user too? You should do
that.

And while you are at it, could please stop posting the same
