Using Ubuntu Hardy, I called fvwm from within console mode, using startx.
Before running startx, I would set a large number of environment variables using console commands. These variables would then be read by my fvwm startup script, to define terminal geometry, fonts etc. Because I use a number of different terminals, I had several different vectors of environment variables that I would alternate between.
Now I’m running Ubuntu 12.04.and it no longer works to call fvwm from startx in console mode (for some dumb reason the sound doesn’t work unless I call fvwm from lightdm. Can anybody suggest a way that I can pass environment variables to fvwm in a flexible way (i.e., different variable settings for different terminal setups) while calling fvwm from a GUI such as lightdm?
Thanks for any suggestions!
