So any way, recommended , is fine as well, not the same as required,... maybe I will take a look at -current, put it on a VM later to day, it would be interesting to explore some of the improvements. Thanks

Ok, I did that and now in I boot, it goes straight to xenodem, and that is where I log in now. My "kid" is going to like this, (not really a kid any more, and definitely another topic, for off topic.
Thanks

Mate is relatively new to OpenBSD and I was unable to find a pkg-readme (Available for KDE, Gnome and XFCE4). Still, it likely requires dbus, consolekit2 and polkit. I found that openbox-session would not start without consolekit2 and polkit. If you are movtivated, I would look the /usr/local/bin mate start command. A -session command needs to be prefaced with ck-launch-session.
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cv...ype=text/plain and https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MATE#Manual_start This Gentoo howto launches an individual dbus and should not be needed if you have a system wide dbus running. Last edited by shep; 12th November 2018 at 08:00 PM. |

Someone made a MATE meta port a few months ago but it was not committed. It might be worth trying that out and emailing the list if all still works well:

After 20 years of using startx on Linux and (more recently) OpenBSD, I made the switch to xenodm when I installed 6.4 a couple of days ago. Despite my initial reservations it was painless. I copied my existing .xinitrc to .xsession and added a xenodm_flags="" line to /etc/rc.conf.local. I use cwm, which is started by a line containing cwm in .xsession (previously .xinitrc).
I was pleased to find that Ctrl-Alt-F1 to Ctrl-Alt-F4 still switch to a text console, and Ctrl-Alt-F5 switches back to X. I used to shut down by exiting cwm and X with Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Q and typing doas halt -p on the text console. Now Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Q just brings up a new xenodm login; however doas halt -p works fine in an xterm. |
