simple window manager for openbsd 5.1
Hi again,
I'm searching for a lighter and simpler window manager. Is golem a good choice or xfve4 ? Thanks. |

You may want to try fluxbox.

fluxbox is working
export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/packages/i386
pkg_add -r fluxbox nano /test/.xinitrc pkg_add -r firefox then open the menu and open firefox that was already in the menu for me. Wow , works like a charm. --------------------------------- Now I'm surfing for the first time with openbsd !!! with golem I got : connection to X server lost. fatal error Last edited by barti; 18th July 2012 at 06:01 PM. |

I've been using ratpoison and quite like it. If you're an emacs (or mg) user it should be particularly comfortable because the key bindings have a similar feel. If you decide later you want something more customizable and want to learn Common Lisp, you can replace it with stumpwm and have an almost identical wm, but that's customizable using Lisp.

or you just did a : $ golem .. or exec golem .. this won't work. Right now I'm on golem .. which I start with : Code:
$ xinit /usr/local/bin/golem put /usr/local/bin/golem in ~/.xinitrc and comment out other lines. Quote:

Thank you @thirdm !
stumpwm doesn't exist as a package and barti's using OpenBSD 5.1 stable .. I've downloaded the latest version (0.9.7) and tried compiling it on OpenBSD 5.2 .. but : Code:
;; Compiling file /usr/ports/x11/stumpwm-0.9.7/primitives.lisp ... *** - READ from #<INPUT BUFFERED FILE-STREAM CHARACTER #P"/usr/ports/x11/stumpwm-0.9.7/primitives.lisp" @609> : there is no package with name "XLIB" The following functions were used but not defined: STUMPWM::RESTARTS-MENU STUMPWM::MESSAGE STUMPWM::DFORMAT 0 errors, 7 warnings Bye. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/stumpwm-0.9.7 (line 37 of Makefile). |

Sir ocicat , I apologize ..
(as soon as I try it on 5.1 stable I'll start a feedback thread about the Lispful wm .. ) |
