Huh? blink.gif
I don't see why your partitions would affect your font rendering. It's probably something to do with you .xinitrc/SLIM or GDM (plus the script you're launching scrotwm with)

Try adding this line to the beginning of your start script or your .xinitrc

CODE
# Merge X resources from ~/.Xdefaults
[ -f $HOME/.Xdefaults ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults &


Also, make sure to change this line in your ~/.Xdefaults
CODE
Xft*antialias:          true

When you say xsession, you mean GDM loading scrotwm.desktop, right?
Post the contents or /usr/share/xsessions/Scrotwm or Scrotwm.desktop here.

Im using Slim sweat.gif

it loads from /etc/X11/Xsessions instead of GDM's default one

I managed to add ck-launch-session into here :

login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session

But Idk how to make it auto load my .xinitrc script

IMO , if i put the command ~/.xinitrc infront of it , my font might go back to the weird mode again sweat.gif

Edit : ck-launch-session is to fix my windows partition not being mounted

I don't use Slim (I just "startx" from tty or XDM on some comps), so I'm not the best person help you there. Post your slim.conf for me to take a look. also read here for info = https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiM

For now, you can try changing that line to:
login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /home/zai/.xinitrc
to see if it works (replace "zai" with your user name)

Edit: I have another appointment coming up soon, so I might not be able to reply till later in the night.

slim.conf :

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Edit : actually ive tried both .xinitrc and xsession boot up

.xinitrc will make my font go haywire while xsession wont give me autostart my conky , feh etc etc

sweat.gif i'll try to find some solution to this

Update: Fixed by adding sessionstart_cmd /home/willeosoeurs/.xinitrc into slim.conf

With this , it will load XSession and then autorun my .xinitrc biggrin.gif

Thanks everyone for helping a troublesome me in getting my scrotwm running biggrin.gif

Now ive got an Pure Scrotwm biggrin.gif without Gnome laugh.gif

Special thanks to G-17 , farkinid and Acid_Rulez laugh.gif

Good to know you found a solution. Though I still don't understand why you people like Slim so much when a simple StartX or configuring XDM is so much easier (and nicer... I find Slim a tad ugly, tbh)

Anyways, congrats on your first Debian + TilingWM install.
Now lets see how long you can survive without a systray laugh.gif

Im back with more questions laugh.gif

Debian as i understand now has 3 fork , stable , testing and unstable

Im running Debian stable right now nod.gif but if i wanted to upgrade to testing , i need to change my source list from squeeze - stable to wheezy - testing only ?

Any other things to be done ?

And i've heard that i need to upgrade my kernel as well , some even have problem loading X after upgrading Squeeze to Wheezy shocking.gif

I can't remember what its called but all debian testing has the same codename. (Just a nice "did you know?" kinda thing).

Anyways, after you change your /etc/apt/sources.list just run
CODE
sudo apt-get upgrade

It should change everything for you automatically and break just about everything too tongue.gif

Uh , well... I was exaggerating. The kernel itself should break but you might have some library mismatches. I've never actually moved to testing before so I can't comment too much.

However, I have done a kernel upgrade using the method i mentioned. No problems.

I say go for it. Just image your drive/partition 1st. Then if it really goes bad, just put back the image. I do that with my servers actually.

Ok drive imaging is cloning the drive. I've used a couple before but clonezilla is definitely 1 of the better ones imho. Its pretty fast. 7 hours to clone 1.5TB

Also, its based on debian so you should have no problems adapting to it in case anything goes wrong (not that anything has ever gone wrong). Just burn the ISO into CD or put it into a pendrive (which is what I do) and boot from it. Then follow the menus and you'll be fine. Also, prepare 1 external drive.

It's actually "apt-get dist-upgrade" for when you upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy (Testing) or Sid (Unstable). apt-get upgrade alone won't cut it. Also note that the first time you dist-upgrade after changing sources, it's recommended you do it outside X, preferably inside an administrative init level (init 3 is usually enough)

Zai... Yup, all you have to do is change Squeeze to Testing in your sources.list
You can also have a hybrid of Stable, Testing and Unstable on the same install if you understand apt-pinning, but it might sound a bit too demanding to someone new to Debian.

Also note that a dist-upgrade after converting sources from Squeeze to Testing might not bring in a newer kernel. You might have to "apt-cache search linux-headers" and "apt-cache search linux-image" and manually install them the first time round. Not 100% sure since I haven't run Debian via a Stable netinstall image in a while (I prefer GRML)

Additional notes: Unstable has long since depreciated HAL in favour of Udev, but I'm not quite sure of Squeeze or Testing. Do pay attention to apt-output.
