I want icewm to boot when start antix M11
Now I have to press f1 and select icewm

How to have rox pinboard to turn on at start up
Now I have use menu>desktop>icewm and select pinboard every time I boot

It's set in the hidden file ~/.xinitrc in your /home/username section.

I only use fluxbox on this IBM T23 Laptop.
I don't have a icewm roxpinboard entry to post for you. Maybe some one else can show you what line to insert or
cannot-autologin-in-rox-fluxbox-t3145.html
I am guessing the above entry would be the right entry to change to.

Thanks for the reply

I have been working in .xinitrc and changing the lines as you suggested.
What ever changes I make only bring me back to logon screen
I have to f1 and select icewm-session to login to my desktop

As far as roxpinboard start up I have the following script in start up

#!bin/bash
roxpinboard on &

This also is not starting up roxpinboard

Check these files.

~/.icewm/startup. You need this line.

rox --pinboard=antiX-ice &

~/.xinitrc should look like this:

# The following line gets changed by mepis-init.sh with the desktop= cheatcode
XINITRC_DEFAULT="icewm-session"

Post your .xinitrc for us to see.

This is mine, using icewm. I am not sure about the pinboard, but try it anyway...

#xset m 10 2
xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3 4 5'


# The following line gets changed by antiX-init.sh with the desktop= cheatcode
XINITRC_DEFAULT="icewm-session"

Here is the .xinitrc file
The icewm-session was already set
No changes on how I have to login still requires selecting f1 icewm-session

The changes to the start up file using

#!/bin/bash
rox --pinboard=antix-ice &

When executed causes the wallpaper to go solid grey with a home icon in the upper left corner
Using menu>desktop>roxpinboard on/off
Returns desktop to normal setup

Do you have pb_antiX-ice in ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/Rox-Filer ?

These are the entries in pb_antix.ice
Wallpaper and icons are correct


<?xml version="1.0"?>

Hmm, seems ok. What does /etc/slim.conf show?

You should login with Rox-icewm option for icewm plus icons.

Rox-icewm from f1 does login and opens pinboard on the desktop
When using Rox-icewm in .xinitrc and not selecting f1 it returns to login

I only included part of slim.conf if you need the whole file please let me know

Does this mean rox-icewm should be first after sessions ??

# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions fluxbox,Rox-fluxbox,Rox-icewm,icewm,dwm,wmii,lxde,xfce,fvwm-crystal,kde,gnome,openbox

Thanks for the continued help !!
