.xinitrc missing [SOLVED]

(1/3) > >>

sm8ps:
I started off a minimal ub-Core-trusty installation with kernel and initrd (recent version of 20150505) plus persistent home and opt on a dedicated ext4-partition. Importing xorg-all, graphics-3.16.6-tinycore and flwm with "-b" flag does boot into an X desktop with full-screen Xterm only. Upon checking, I recognized that '~/.xinitrc' does not exist.

Should it not get created automatically and if so where? It is not in '/etc/skel/' so I presume it should be created from xorg-all. Searching the full '/tmp/tcloop/' for "*init*" does not reveal anything promising.

sm8ps:
I just recognized that after copying an old copy of '~/.xinitrc' the desktop does start but there are no  entries in the desktop menu (right-click) and the background is black. So it seems that also '~/.setbackground' and some more is missing. Have I over-looked something obvious?

sm8ps:
Got it when comparing the situation to a working installation on a USB-stick. I had forgot to install the Xprogs extension. Sorry, for the stirr-up. I would be less embarrassed if somebody could delete this whole thread. If not, I shall try to not lose my poise nevertheless. :)

Muahahaha!

Well, then we all know what might happen if Xprogs isn't included. :)

I see that some of us are more easily amused than most. -- What a funny life this must be then.
