.fvwm2rc
Hi, I'm following the directions of the "X Window User HOWTO" at The
Linux Documentation Project and trying to get my window manager fvwm2 to
read the file .fvwm2rc. I moved /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2rc
to my home directory as instructed. I used:
cp -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2rc /home/kent
The manager doesn't seem to be reading this file as the article said it
would. I know that /home/kent is set in the path variable. I noticed
that the file's group permissions and owners changed even though I used
"-p" with the "cp" command. Here is the file before I copied it:
~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2rc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec 12 13:34
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2rc -> /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc
Here is the file in my home directory:
~$ ls -l .fvwm2rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 10883 May 2 1998 .fvwm2rc
I may be wrong but I'm thinking the reason my windows manager isn't
reading the file is because the file in my home directory has the wrong
permissions, owner and group. I tried to find info on the .fvwm2rc
file about this but couldn't find any. Anybody know how I can get fvwm
to recognize .fvwm2rc?
Thanks,
Kent
