Any idea how to start applications when fvwm-crystal is loaded? I’ve been trying things in the preferences/Startup file but nothing happens

Sorry, colin. I meant at that point, you can add the applications you want on your system.

So as an example, you could install Abiword as a word processor with sudo aptitude install abiword. If need more help on installing programs, you should check out the Ubuntu forums. Cheers!

Whats wrong with this sentance? “From here you should install your applications and whatnot, using the usual terminal commands.”

And these are? The problem with alot of linux howtos is they assume you know howto do it in the first place.

Otherwise fine

Oops! Sorry Yu. That should be nano -w ~/.xinitrc. That file needs to sit in your home directory so X finds it when it starts. I’ll fix the instructions. Thanks!

hi,

i followed this tutorial until i got to “nano -w .xinitrc”,

where is that file? if there no such a file, where should i put it?

if i do startx without doing that, it’s just the normal ugly xter.

would you give me some hints?

thanks.
