It’s the 64 bit full version running on the Dell XPS 15. It never gets to the login screen, but wallpaper in color and conky come up. Mouse and keyboard don’t work, generally, but if I Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, I get to a normal login. If I just login again I get the same problem. If I switch to Fluxbox or JWM everything works.
Any ideas? I don’t have it connected to the internet yet under 17.1, as its boot is controlled by a different partition and the boot options don’t carry over.
I thought I read where someone else couldn’t run IceWM but surprisingly JWM worked, but I can”t find the post.

Sorry, cant help you here much, but this should be the post you cant find.

Thanks, Caprea. That was the post I couldn’t find. I tried the same Kernel that is working on it with 17, (4.9.0-5 64 bit standard like debian) but with the same cheat codes it panics early in the boot. It didn’t install well, though, complaining it couldn’t understand how to build the initrd. Maybe I should try to get it running on an easier machine first…

If you locate your .ice.. stuff in ~/ and relocate it temporarily, like you had never logged in to icewm do you still have the same problem? I wonder whether it is some home configuration that is throwing it off or it is deeper into the system and icewm. I can’t remember where and how does icewm has an autostart, ~/.config/.icewm/autostart? There might be something there causing it to hang.

icewm is “picky”, in the sense that it demands that some of its config files must be chmod +x (else it ignores ’em).
If you copied ’em into place from another install, although the account username might be the same… the uid of the accounts may be different and, therefore the new “bubbabob” user account lacks u+x permission for those files.
cd ~
sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername *
(and inspect the files within ~/.icewm/ and compare against the copies in /etc/skel/.icewm/ to see which should be +x)Skidoo, Thanks, that actually did help, but I still can’t suspend/resume. I had to reboot, and when I did the problem occurred again.
I noticed when I go to tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1) I see lots of segfault errors from icewm.
Different kernels do or don’t have the problem, but so far I can’t find any that can both suspend/resume and run icewm on 17.1. Next I will check the iso like I should have before installing.

Howdy Bob, Concerning the kernel part, looking at dmesg for errors and lspci -k will show the drivers in use. During a rebuild I find several options in the .config that are set for general conditions and not specifically for my setup. Your own kernel build may fix the problem if options are being applied/not applied that your kernel doesn’t support. dmesg might tell you what is up.
Just to be clear, this is on the Dell XPS I7 laptop with the dual graphics, etc
I’m getting messages in DMESG about udevd about kvm and render, and I tracked it down to they are using new groups for them, and I’m guessing I don’t have those groups,but if I add them, who should be in them?.
from dmesg… all errors are on udevd or icewm lines and are red

When I compared the MD5 checksum of linuxfs to what it was supposed to be, I found it was different. I reburned the 17.1 on a different flashdrive, and the checksum came out correct this time. I reinstalled from it and IceWM comes up fine.
This problem is SOLVED!

Yep that happens with flash drives and not just with CD’s. Some flash drives can get a bit wacky when an image is written to them.
Real men use Linux 🙂
