Hi, I switched to SparkyLinux 5.6.2 LXQt (stretch ) because I was looking for something friendly for keyboard users like myself.
Install went GREAT. However using the terminal was messed up.
For some reason my ~/.profile wasn't getting run. (I formatted by home partition) ~/.bashrc was getting run, since bash was selected in my terminal.
I fixed some of the stuff by moving lines from ~/.profile into ~/.bashrc, but I'm still having a problem in the terminal.
For instance, when I start xterm from "Alt-f2" it doesn't read .Xresources or .xinitrc or .Xwhatever so the alt key is seriously messed up.
However, if I start xterm from the lxqt-panel, I don't have a problem with the alt key.
basically I want my .profile to run normally, and .~/.Xresources to fix the alt key in xterm.
(I searched this forum for xterm and .Xresources and .xinitrc )
thanks in advance,
Karl Anliot
