Bug#32778: fvwm2: system-wide file 'system.fvwm2rc' and dir .fvwm2 are looked in /etc instead of /etc/X11/fvwm2
Package: fvwm2
Version: 2.1.10-1
the documentation (man fvwm2 then in the searcher type /system.fvwm2 ) say
the system path is /etc/X11/fvwm2 and not /etc . but it's wrong:
blackhole:~> cat .xsession-errors
Agent pid 3508
[FVWM][Read]: <<ERROR>> file '.fvwm2rc' not found in $HOME or /etc
[FVWM][Read]: trying to read system rc file
[FVWM][Read]: <<ERROR>> file 'system.fvwm2rc' not found in $HOME or /etc
in the same manner system-wide dir .fvwm2 is searched in /etc not
/etc/X11/fvwm2
temporary fix:
cd /etc
ln -s X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc
ln -s X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2
or copy them in $HOME
