Openbox on Alpine Linux
I tried installing Openbox on the latest version of Alpine Linux Standard, following precisely instructions given on this site, but it doesn't work. I get an error message. Can someone try this installation on a live system and tell me if it works? If I am right, please send me a correct set of instructions. Many thanks. Cecile
Hi,
You are correct. There are missing steps.
You should probably add a user, install and enable dbus, enable udev service...
But, especially, to use startx, edit ~/.xinitrc and add exec openbox-session at the end. After that startx has a better chance of working.
If this helps, let us know and we can change the wiki. Bbbhltz (talk) 07:02, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
