[OpenIndiana-discuss] Ugly Failsafe OI session (xterm)

[cpforum]

Why Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana Failsafe Session are so ugly ? Just a small xterm with ugly fonts, no twm launched, and a system.twmrc same as 25 years ago.

If you broke Gnome, working with Failsafe to repair is not very funny.

Here is a tar archive to install a smart Failsafe Session (called twm) with Xterm TrueType Fonts Smart colors and windows buttons the same as Gnome.

To add twm-session just :

- Download archive : http://ossi.pagesperso-orange.fr/twm-session.tar

- As root do :

cd /
tar xf twm-session.tar

Then logout Gnome and after username and before entering password select TWM and try.

PS.

Only 8 files are added. Files .twmrc and .Xressources are created in your HOME on first login.

$ tar tf twm-session.tar
