Flexipatch compiled successfully but doesn't show up in Ly

[abneb]

A copy of my xinit

And in config.mk I didn't change anything

[bakkeby]

This should be due to #317.

Are you sure you installed it? Maybe you compiled it, but did not move it to the folder with binary files. To install run:

sudo make install

[abneb]

Yep man, I've installed
And double checked it with which dwm

[monosans]

Then try this:

startx $(which dwm)

[abneb]

That initialize dwm but only when I execute this command. When I logout it keeps missing in Ly.

Try to apply the patch from here and reinstall dwm (make sure to make uninstall the old one first).

If you have a desktop entry like /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop then I'd assume that ly will be able to find that.

[abneb]

I'm making a terrible mistake cuz I was doing this in my production machine. But I have the Xsessions entry ok. It still doesn't work. I'll clone my setup in a VM to try out with safety.

[bakkeby]

@carlosonrails can you tell us what is the output of the following command on your machine then?

ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop

[bakkeby]

That's not the command I asked you to run though.

[abneb]

Sorry. Here it is

[bakkeby]

I don't see any good reason why ly would not read that file. As far as I can tell the file location, it's content, user ownership and permissions all look fine.

I did notice that it reads from only one directory (/usr/share/xsessions/ by default), so if the .desktop file is placed in /usr/local/share/xsessions/ then ly won't find it. I doubt that you've changed any configuration in this respect though.

I tried using sddm (because I'm familiar with it) and dwm-flexipatch, it works perfectly so I think this is a ly issue.

[abneb]

Ly was the issue. I was looking if that happens with Chadmw and have the same error. Like @speediegq I change to sddm and everything works fine.
I think the could be closed.
Thanks U all
