How to Revert back to default Rox-Icewm?

[Member anilkagi]

Hi there,

I have recently installed Antix 19.2.1 x64 Base.

I was just trying things out and I switched to other desktop-file manager options, just to see how they look and function.

However now I find that the default Rox-icewm is better than others, with only one issue. It doesn’t show the desktop folder contents on the desktop. OK fine, but that would be the topic of another thread. My problem now is, how can I revert back to the default Rox-Icewm? In the Menu > Desktop > Other Desktops > List, there is no option for reverting back to Rox-Icewm. I don’t know if my installation went properly or not.

Please inform.

Thank you & Regards.

Thanks anticapitalista, for the prompt guidance.

However, it didn’t work

I gave the command but there was no change. I re-logged in but still no effect. Here below is the output;

$ sudo apt install --reinstall desktop-session-antix

Until some of the devs can look into it, log out, hit F1 key and this will toggle between all installed sessions. When Rox-icewm appears below, log in.

Xecure,

I did as suggested, now I am back to the Rox-Icewm.

Thanks
