Unless Robert wants to account for that in dsl-config or .xinitrc, you can change the desktop check in /home/dsl/.xinitrc yourself.

Instead of

Code Sample

DESKTOP="$(getoption.lua $HOME/.desktop wm)"

it could be *something* like this (pseudo-code, untested)

Code Sample

DESKTOP="$(getknoppixparam.lua desktop)"
[ -n "$DESKTOP" ] || DESKTOP="$(getoption.lua $HOME/.desktop wm)"

Note: I've never used getknoppixparam.lua, but it looks like it is appropriate here.

Hi,

I have downloaded and tried "DSL3.2rc2". Whenever I try to load a myDSL-Extension (skype, Openoffice), X closed automaticaly to console and you can`t restart X. There is no possibility. (There is the same with 3.2rc1.)

With current DSL3.1 there are no problems.

(I start DSL with "dsl toram lang=de restore=hda2 nousb nopcmcia noswap". I use 768 MB Ram.)

regards,
Jens

Wow, that just solved my network problems (my LAN card wasn't working so I had to plug my laptop into ethernet, which wasn't real usefull). Posting this from my unteathered laptop now. THIS RULES!

anam, I have still been unable to reproduce your concern.
However, you stated that "Enable Apt" works for you.
This would suggest that "apt-get update" may be your issue.
When loading the dsl-dpkg.unc or dsl-dpkg.dsl you must issue the command:

apt-get update

before any apt-get install will work.

Selim & mikshaw,

Re: desktop=jwm

It has always been the case that a users backup trumps any boot code.
For it typically requires an action by the user to setup his environment and such is maintained by the backup. There is always the .xfiletool.lst to exclude any file that the user wishes. But using .xfiletool.lst would mean with no action (boot code), fluxbox.

Using code in .xinitrc as suggested by mikshaw, to have a boot code trump the backup value, would break the ability of switching desktops as provided with menu items currently in both fluxbox and jwm,

To enable certain boot codes that would trump backup values should only be done once at boot up but after restore. This would maintain the desktop switching option. This is the approach that I have taken and will be in the next RC.
