Oh right. CDE doesn't need dbus but software like librewolf might need it. If its similar to firefox, it should work without. I think it uses dbus for some filesystem stuff.
Since I don't use a displaymanager myself, and I'm not sure which comes first dm, or X, and what overrides what, so my answer may not solve your issue, but you can use xrandr(1) to define a primary monitor (see section "RandR version 1.3 options")
Yeah, I have a xrandr command in my sessionsetc that works just fine but it's executed after dtlogin, therefore it is of no use in this case. I'll see if dtlogin can be customized but it's no big deal in any case.
Well, it's completely up to you, of course, but maybe it's worth just a try (edit one line in two files each), and maybe leads to a satisfying solution for you:
exec startx &[...]
default .xinitrc stuff
[...]
#my xrandr line
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate......
# numlock be used as numlock by default
numlockx &
# start my WM:
fvwm # must be 'cde' here?
# gimme sound!
mixer vol 100:100
mixer speaker 100:100
mixer mix 100:100Take a look at this post:
As I said, I don't use no DM. My ~/.login simply ends withexec startx &
The rest (xrandr) is in ~/.xinitrc, of course:
Code:[...] default .xinitrc stuff [...] #my xrandr line xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate...... # numlock be used as numlock by default numlockx & # start my WM: fvwm # must be 'cde' here? # gimme sound! mixer vol 100:100 mixer speaker 100:100 mixer mix 100:100
This way I don't get a nice "welcome screen" when I start my machine up, but the default TTY login, and when I login (as user), then X and my WM is started.
I can abstain of (the to me) pure optical frills. As I said: If you see it otherwise, okay. It was simply a suggestion. You don't need to deal with DM setups, but "just" with X, and CDE.
Maybe it works, to change your primary monitor, maybe it won't. Maybe you say, 'that's more I like it', maybe you say, 'Nah, I prefer the other way.'
Yes. Anyways, I replaced xcalc with galculator and now all now is fine.

Speaking about resources: yesterday I replaced LibreOffice with OpenOffice (devel) and thus got rid of pulseaudio and pipewire completely.Threads like this make me grin, feel happy. All the fancy new age DEs that need tons of resources and "along comes CDE" One can argue/discuss the visuals, but when things work
We are fortunate that FreeBSD has OpenOffice. There has been pressure to remove it from almost every other platform's repos.
Are we talking about OpenOffice, CDE or FreeBSD? I think all would fall into that "problem" I suppose.
I believe he's asking why there has been pressure to remove OpenOffice from other platform's repos. BTW, I'm curious to know that too.
Me too. Though, rather than any technical reason, I suspect it is lobbying from The Document Foundation squeezed by Collabora to move people towards their product. Note: Collabora is just a cleaned up LibreOffice with commercial support.
dbus_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf, there are apps that "think" they rely on it and invoke it every time. In my case it was librewolf: at every login I found three processes that were dbus-related:[6:29][fmc000@dabrafenib ]$ cat .local/share/dbus-1/services/org.a11y.Bus.service ~
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.a11y.Bus
Exec=false
SystemdService=at-spi-dbus-bus.service
[6:29][fmc000@dabrafenib ]$I have started CDE from startx and only the service rpcbind_enable="YES" running. This caused three open ports. I have basic IPFW "workstation" firewall enabled also. Some users here use CDE as regular basis. So I can hope that above firewall is enough for home users also.
