Looking at /usr/bin/wm.sh, it looks like it's going to replace the default shell. Is there a way I can run "standalone" without messing with the config?

side note... instead of:

gunzip /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/WM6.tar.gz
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/WM6.tar

you can just:

tar zxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/WM6.tar.gz

Did you have any problems, is it working for you?????

Sorry... I actually wrote my previous message from the N800 while in a meeting :), I needed to wait until I got out to get some better hands-on time.

(from Hildon)
menu | extras | WindowMaker: gives me the white screen
menu | extras | Reboot to WM: gives me WM

(from WM)
- | Session | Hildon Desktop: gets me hildon

(_now_ from Hildon)
menu | extras | WindowMaker: gets me back to WM

Yeup, ran ldconfig.

So, booting to WM will let you swap back and forth, booting to Hildon will white screen. I'd suspect that your "WidowMaker" script is losing itself when the desktop terminates and there's nothing to catch it. But, things work okay" when WM is underneath since Hildon was only running in a WM window.

As a data point, if you bring up Xterm from within WM, then close the window, you loose the key attachment for the "-" key. To get it back, you need to switch Workspaces.

Pretty cool PB!

Switching in and out of hildon/wmaker works fine with reboot but there was no way to get into wmaker with hildon running.

I did run in ldconfig manually?

Yes

Thanks

No, thank you. This is looking really interesting.

that makes no sense to me. If that is the case, I suspect if you boot back to hildon, it will now work from there also.

I can switch back and forth no matter what is booted.

Re: Window Maker N800 DUAL Window Manager Install/Hack available

OK, I have been thinking, and a reboot is required after install.

/etc/profile is changed to add /usr/local/bin to path. What is happening is matchbox and maemo_desktop stops, and it can not find the path with "Window Maker", this is why it turned white the first time you ran it.

after untar of WM6.tar.gz to root
run ldconfig (because /usr/local/lib is added /etc/ld.so.conf, this should happen on boot, but )
reboot to update (/etc/profile to add /usr/local/bin/ to path)

After this no matter which one you boot to you should be able to switch on the fly to either window manager.

Anyone who has installed, please reboot your n800. Now please test for me and provide the results....
From

(from Hildon)
menu | extras | WindowMaker:
menu | extras | Reboot to WM:

(from WM)
- | Session | Hildon Desktop:
- | Session | Reboot to Hildon:

NOTE, if you do not want to test the reboot options, please test the "WindowMaker" and "Hildon Desktop" entrys

Oh well, you cant get it perfect on the first time, that what revisions are for, well the tar is ok, I guess the install instructions just needed a little tweeking.

I need feedback and please anyone who compiles anything, SHARE SHARE SHARE

Correct.

Nope! I'm looking at a white screen.

Re: Window Maker N800 DUAL Window Manager Install/Hack available

Mark, can you ssh in, while hildon is up.

su - user
echo $PATH
swm.sh

Let me know what you path is, and if you get errors, or if it switches to WM

Sure!

Maybe some game playing with grep to extract the PID from PS XA, then a kill? Or maybe just "killall -9 matchbox"...

Re: Window Maker N800 DUAL Window Manager Install/Hack available

fwiw... "killall -9 matchbox-window-manager" gets rid of the process, but running swm.sh afterwards still has the error message.

My WiFi connection here at work sucks, but I'll try to play a bit.

gut feel... there are other processes that you need to kill off, and the sleep's after trying to use the restart scripts aren't enough to make it happen.

Re: Window Maker N800 DUAL Window Manager Install/Hack available

woop.... I think I got it. Matchbox is being re-launched fast enough that it's back running by th time the wm launcher kicks in.
