*** about the slim release:
the slim package in the gNS3.0beta1 repos is 1.3.0-1
but there is a recent (July, 7) newer 1.3.2 release here:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/slim/
there is no 1.3.2 slim package neither in the gNS3.0beta1 repos nor in
the debian lenny backports: so it should be compiled...
anyway, it seems (the slim documentation is poor) to me that there are
not too much diffs between the two relases... it is to you if you want
to try compiling the 1.3.2...
*** about automatically starting LXDM from a slim login
first, consider slim having bugs:
http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=2663
more, the session management with slim is experimental:
http://slim.berlios.de/manual.php -> §2.1
anyway slims works well to me with gNS3.0
to solve your issue you can see:
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Debian#SLIM
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/slim/trunk/slim.conf
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/slim/trunk/xinitrc.sample
having at the same time a look to the 'login_cmd' and 'sessions'
variables in your /usr/etc/slim.conf file
*** LXDE release
the lxde package in the gNS3.0beta1 repos is 1.3.0-1 is 0.3.2.1,
but the newer (and better!) 0.5.0-2 is available from the debian lenny
backports
to update lxde, add to your /etc/apt/sources.list file this row:
## debian lenny-backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main
and then update/upgrade your system
*** LXDE installation
installing LDXE consider that:
- the 'lxsession' component has serious bugs (maybe related to your
issues) and should be replaced with the 'lxsession-lite' component
see: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession
- a cleaner LXDE installation may result installing without the
reccommended deps (for 0.5.0-2 are: gdm | x-display-manager, hal,
iceweasel | www-browser, lxmusic)
to install without reccommended deps:
sudo aptitude --without-recommends install lxde
- a more cleaner and "customized" installation may resul installing
firstly just the lxde-core package (again without recommends) and
later the only lxde components you really need
see: http://lxde.org/lxde (section: Components) for a detailed list
*** the LXDM login manager
LXDM is a new login manager for LXDE
see:
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDM
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Gtkrc
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Greeter.ui
it is under development but seems to be usable and pretty good
(but i do not have yet tested it...)
if you will try LXDM, please let me know about it
Hope it will help
