--- Quote ---A black screen with large X cursor means you have no window manger.
Did you .xfilelist your .desktop so that it does not conflict?
Did you upgdade your .xsession?
Did you grab the latest hackedbox extension whose info says says it is for rc3?

I am not using a backup so .xsession and .desktop should be what is in the base system. I do have the updated hackedbox for 2.0rc3.

I tried this again with jwm (2.0rc3 version) today without the desktop bootcode (no bootcodes used). The .desktop and /etc/sysconfig/desktop both have the correct window manager:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ cat .desktop
wm: jwm
icons: wbar
tc@box:~$ cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop
jwm
--- End code ---
but jwm did not start....using jwm & or ./.xsession & in a terminal fixes this


--- Quote ---Note:  home/tc/.desktop file should be added to /opt/.xfiletool.lst
--- End quote ---
my .desktop file has jwm as the window manager without the need to use a backup as seen above.


Edit:
having base-devs.tce in the tce directory on boot causes the window manager to not start  ???

siriusfox:
Is there any way to get back the traditional Window manager found in 1.x for this release?

install jwm.tce , and add desktop=jwm in kernel parameter

roberts:
Just a friendly reminder, all release candidates are not final.

Anything and eveything should be consider in flux until 2.0 final.

That is why I ask, do not remaster release candidates, the final could be significantly different.
Since 2.0 is addressing the support of alternate window managers, the extensions being used during testing, namely, jwm.tc(e,z} and hackedbox.tc{e,z} should also be considered in flux and checked often for updates during the testing cycle.

Note with 2.0rc3 and using the latest jwm.tce one should not need the desktop=jwm boot option.

I continue to thank those who have decided to participate in the road to 2.0.

i must say Tc 2.0 is a winner; the only thing which i miss is skype; although not tc depending, i guess
