+ | === Choose window manager === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In version **1.3.5** available window managers via the F1 key are defined by use of the ''sessions'' statement in ''/etc/slim.conf''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In version **1.3.6** the | ||
+ | <file>sessiondir /usr/share/xsessions</file> | ||
+ | statement in ''/etc/slim.conf'' makes slim look for available window managers in the specified directory. | ||
+ | To choose one, the ''F1'' key must be pressed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Users who use just one window manager should omit the ''sessiondir'' statement, so that ''.xinitrc'' will start the window manager specified by | ||
+ | the ''WINDOW_MANAGER'' variable in ''$HOME/.config/slitaz/applications.conf''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note tip>Users who want to choose between available window managers must uncomment the **sessiondir** statement in **/etc/slim.conf**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When updating from 1.3.5 to 1.3.6, **sessions ...** must be replaced by **sessiondir /usr/share/xsessions**.</note> | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Disable Slim === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In live mode Slim can be disabled with the boot option ''screen=text''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On an installed system the package can be removed or ''slim'' can be deleted from the ''RUN_DAEMONS'' variable in ''/etc/rcS.conf''. | ||
