I have wmmatrix*.deb (with the 2 libs*.deb it needs) and when i dpkg them and start wmMatrix it works fine... Now i want it to run at boottime (with al the other wm-app's in the slit of fluxbox).

I tried to put the dpkg command in .xinitrc (followed by the command wmMatrix with is proper path of course) but that doesn't work.

I tried putting the dpkg-command (dpkg -i *.deb) in .bash_profile which looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
export IRCNICK=DSL
SSH=`env | grep SSH_CONNECTION`
#if [ -z "$SSH" ]; then startx; fi
start_fluxdev

But i still can't get it running.. (at bpottime that is)

When i make a script:

#!bash/bin
dpkg -i *.deb &
wmMatrix &

That doesn't work either...

Hint?

Normally, the dpkg command must be executed as user 'root'

Does

sudo dpkg -i *.deb (without the "&")

work?

You may need to answer text prompts. When you manually use the dpkg -i command, does the screen ask you any questions like "Do you want to do this? (y/N)"?

I just got a wmMatrix.dsl from ke4nt1 and it works great! I added it in .xinitrc like this:

/usr/bin/wmMatrix &

Thnx again ke4nt1
