Initial install of fluxbox went smoothly. apt-get install fluxbox got me an
older version which had some bugs. So I did a dpkg -r and removed it.
(please bear with me Im new to linux this is my second day at it and yes I
have read every pertinent fluxbox man file as well as fluxboxes forum and
faq) thus removing the package. I then downloaded the tar ball from
fluxboxes site version 0.1.14 which should have resolved the issues i was
having in which file changes made to config files where overwritten on
restart of your window manager
did ./ configure did make did make install
did fluxbox -version the version now showed as 0.1.14
everything seemed to work flawlessly.
I continued having problems with changes made to bgsetbg and other settings
dissapearing finally did a fluxbox -version again and it showed the older
apt-get module !
I then did make uninstall on the fluxbox version i downloaded and proceeded
to dpkg -P the older module that was somehow still installed.
Then I reinstalled the newer fluxbox.
Im getting this error now :BaseDisplay: Connection to X server failed:
Fluxbox: unknown error.
I checked the logs in /var/messages and what appeared to be the x server
logs in etc/X11
what am I missing here ? Is there a log that I can check that will give me
a better error to work from. All other mgr's work fine but I really miss
fluxbox I liked the small resources footprint.
