Description of problem: Slim-dynwm can't be called up from /etc/sysconfig/desktop anymore as specified here: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Fedora Even calling up lxdm as DISPLAYMANAGER has a problem with logons, it just sits there, unless I switch to a VC and back again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): most recent, updates all applied. How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to configure /etc/sysconfig/desktop 2. Watch how it doesn't work, and try to login 3. Login succeeds but just sits there Actual results: doesn't even call up slim-dynwm Expected results: Should be a way to run slim-dynwm Additional info:
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Hm... slim-dynwm: #!/bin/sh update_slim_wmlist if [ "x\$1" = "x-nodaemon" ]; then shift exec slim "\$@" else slim -d "\$@" fi Backslash escaped $. x$1 and $@ literal, don't substitute.
Thank you. Manually removing the backslash from the three strings that contain it started slim successfully for me.

This bug in Fedora 16 package too.
I can confirm it works for me too. I have reported the bug at slim.berlios.de, http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=18358&group_id=1 hopefully someone will actually fix this. Good work guys... #!/bin/bash update_slim_wmlist if [ "x$1" = "x-nodaemon" ]; then shift exec slim "$@" else slim -d "$@" fi
Looks like the package maintainer has orphaned it, so nothing is getting fixed. http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-devel-list/2011-10/msg01940.html I couldn't find a F-16 package either, it doesn't seem to have been built.
Bug still exists in F16.
Please check that scratch build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3733309
I hope it fixed by: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3733791
the file: slim-dynwm wasn't changed, so its not fixed. This is what it should be: #!/bin/bash update_slim_wmlist if [ "x$1" = "x-nodaemon" ]; then shift exec slim "$@" else slim -d "$@" fi
Fixed it only Fedora 17 packages.
No any updates was pushed, only rawhide now.
From the link you provided, I checked the rpms and the file was not included: slim-1.3.2-10.fc17.src.rpm They all have the old file still.
Hm... It is very interesting, I have not seen that. How you unpack rpm package?
I just tried again, and it is the right file. So not sure if I made a mistake or what. Looks like this is fixed then..
