[arch-general] Xinitrc wiki still references copying /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ?
All, I'm working to setup fluxbox on a virtual arch install inside ESXI which I will access via rdesktop (or something similar). In configuring flux to start at boot I was following the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc The point about copying the default xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc references a file that no longer exists in the current Xorg install. e.g.: cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc What is the current way to set up your ~/.xinitrc (or is that even needed anymore?) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
Hi, I know this. :) The Xorg package doesn’t contain xinitrc. That’s in the xInit package. So pacman -S xinit, and it will be there. Best, Zack.

Hi, It's just as Zachary pointed out. By the way, the package is named xorg-xinit Hope this helps, Jonathan. On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 09:14:50PM -0700, Zachary Kline wrote:

Thank you sir, that is exactly what I needed (and thanks to Jonathan and Jens as well, I found the xorg- prefix via pacman -Ss xinit :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
... and here's your usual reminder for cases of non-existent files: $ pacman -Fo /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is owned by extra/xorg-xinit 1.3.4-3 or: $ pkgfile /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc extra/xorg-xinit --byte
