[arch-general] Entranced - Anybody Using It? I get it started, can enter name, but that's it.
Guys I was trying to setup entranced on Arch. I followed the enlightenment.org wiki, but the arch setup for Xsession, etc. left me a little unsure on exactly where some of the entrance_edit path info should point. The Arch default for entrance_config.cfg is: Entrance Daemon Settings attempts = 5 xserver = "/usr/bin/X -quiet -br -nolisten tcp vt7" Entrance Client Settings xsession = "/etc/X11/Xsession" auth = 1 engine = 0 reboot = 1 halt = 1 theme = "default.edj" background = "" pointer = "/usr/share/entrance/images/pointer.png" greeting-before = "Welcome to" greeting-after = "" date-format = "%A %B %e, %Y" time-format = "%l:%M:%S %p" autologin-mode = 0 autologin-user = "" presel-mode = 1 presel-prevuser = "" user-remember = 1 user-remember-count = 5 user-count = 0 session-count = 2 default-session = "default" default-session-title = "Default" default-session-icon = "default.png" The 'xsession' line can't be right because Arch doesn't have "/etc/X11/Xsession". So I'm thinking that is the problem. The box is booting to runlevel 3 and all xdm/kdm startup in /etc/inittab are commented out. (the wiki said to disable all xdm and kdm) I have the daemons in rc.conf set to: .. alsa entranced famd) and entrance starts and display the default winter theme. All my desktops were listed (e16, e17, icewm, kde, lxde, openbox). The username entry works and I can type my name in there, but the password line is grayed out and will accept no input. The little 'lock' icon and the '>' (right-arrow) below the password line are grayed out as well. When things wouldn't work, I just used ctrl+alt+f1 and /etc/rc.d/entranced stop to kill it and then just used kdm. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

well the E17 wiki pages says: * */etc/inittab* - The recommended way ... ## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented! # Boot to console #id:3:initdefault: # Boot to X11 id:5:initdefault: ... # Example lines for starting a login manager #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null #x:5:once:/bin/su johndoe -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx >/dev/null 2>&1" x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/entranced --nodaemon >& /dev/null
