<0> I've got an issue
<1> porr you
<1> s/porr/poor/
<0> no for real is about the menus
<0> how to pipe a command on the menus?
<1> don't know, I don't use it
<2> pipe?
<2> echo "zingzing" | menu
<0> this [exec] (Flash Drive) {mount /mnt/flshdrive/ && xterm /home//imaginas/Flashdrive/}
<0> I want to mount the flashdrive and then be open on the flashdrive's folder an xterm
<2> can't you do a script and then call via menu?
<0> eilart: you are right :S If I knew how to script :-(, are there helpful script online? Or examples?
<2> mount /mnt/flshdrive/ && xterm /home//imaginas/Flashdrive/ <--- this one works from the command line? it opens another term?
<0> no, it doesn't work
<0> doesn't open the xterm on the directory I want to
<0> how about mount /flashdrive && cd /flashdrive
<0> could that do the job?
<2> you have to call xterm for open a new term
<2> otherwise you click the menu and nothing appears
<2> you have only to find how to open a xterm in a particular dir
<2> and man xterm should be the place
<0> so to open an xterm on a particular dir is it like this ? xterm /dir/dir/ ??
<0> look I get this xterm: Could not exec /home/imaginas/anthrcult/: Permission denied
<0> why?
<0> no clue
<0> that's retarded
<0> xterm: Can't execvp cd: No such file or directory
<0> ok apparently I need the xterm -e option
<0> still isn't working
<0> Warning: Cannot convert string "true type Boolean
<2> xterm -e "mount /mnt/flshdrive/"
<0> I don't get this, what I am trying to do is this right? " -e command args ... command to execute"
<0> ahh I needed the quotations
<0> the mounting part works
<2> but this don't move you to the dir
<0> is just the opening the xterm and the point I want to
<0> I know :-(
<0> c'mon what's so difficult about it!! damn cd command, there isn't magic to it
<2> maybe the problem is
<2> from the xterm man
<2> -e program [ arguments ... ]
<2> "This must be the last option on the command line"
<0> I've tried this with and without the quotations---> $xterm -e "cd /home/magicos/games"
<2> no, launch another xterm
<0> xterm: Can't execvp cd: No such file or directory
<0> Warning: Cannot convert string "true type Boolean
<0> so it's not possible
<2> if you make a script yes
<2> you cd inside the script and then exec the xterm
<2> and at that point the xterm started from the dir will be in the dir
<2> a three row script like that
<2> #!/bin/sh
<2> mount cippalippa
<2> cd cippalippadir
<2> xterm
<0> let's try :-)
<0> sorry I am not familiar with scripts, do I need something at the end or p*** some permissions?
<2> chmod 755 myscript
<2> myscript is your script file
<0> ok
<0> so the menu automatically knows where to find this? or is it a good idea to organize the scripts on a dir in /bin?
<2> must me in your path
<2> must be
<2> so you can copy it in /usr/local/bin
<2> or create a ~/bin dir and addin it to your $PATH
<0> what's the Gentoo way?
<2> i'm a slacker
<0> aha
<2> if you create a lot of those executables than a ~/bin dir is more handy
<2> if they are related with fluxboxmenu maybe the right place is ~/.fluxbox
<2> you can create a ~/.fluxbox/bin dir
<0> good idea
<0> what path?
<0> where at?
<2> echo $PATH
<2> the PATH is defined mainly in /etc/profile
<2> as a user you can change it in .bashrc
<0> just add $PATH .fluxbox/bin ?
<2> in .bashrc you can add
<2> PATH="$PATH:~/.fluxbox/bin"
<2> it's strange, we aren't chatting about fluxbox for an hour and nobody tells us to change channel
<1> *phew* http://www.fuchsnet.ch/stack/fluxbox.de.txt only the init section is missing and I have to reformat it... but I'll do that tomorrow, enough for today I guess :)
<0> ok does the menu undesrsand from home's dir or I need to state the full path /home/foo/foo
<0> or could I do this ~/.fluxbox/bin/script?
<3> yes
<3> they get sent to /bin/sh
<3> did you try?
<2> if you use the full path there's no need for it to be in you path
<0> yes which one, full path or from user path?
<0> not yet
<3> try it before asking, noob 8)
<3> what's the worst that will happen?
<0> ok ok
<2> everything will be formatted
<0> w00t
<3> I wouldn't recommend putting that kind of command in your menu
<0> worked
<0> ha ha...
<0> why not?
<2> is the first in my menu
<0> what command? I've only got mount and cd... what's wrong with it
<0> thanks eilart :-)
<2> np
<2> buonanotte a tutti
<0> _markt: why is not reccomended?
<3> putting a command in your menu to format your hard drive?
<3> I can think of a few good reasons
<0> naa
<0> I didn't do that
<0> hell no
<0> that's not even me
<0> is there a alt+TAB viewer for fluxbox? Like in beryl to show all you apps on a stripe and know where the heck is your stuff?
<3> heh, no
<0> WHY NOT?!!!!
<0> :'-(
<3> because after a week of using fluxbox, you'll realize you don't really want it
<1> have I ever mentioned that asciidoc ****s? ;)
<0> I've got I don't know how many xterm open with screen and lost the count where things are
<3> tab them
<1> kewlas: you can group xterms
<1> with tabs
<0> NetFox: what's the concept of that?
<1> right, now formatting seems better... only translating the last part, then... who should I give the translated documentation afterwards?
<0> what does it do?
<3> ,tabs?
<4> tabs allow you to group some windows together; just middle click a window's tab and drag it to another window; from version 0.9.3 to 0.9.15, tabs were embedded in the titlebar; starting in 1.0rc, they are external by default but can be configured in the menu
<0> oh yea I know that
<1> use it, then
<0> but irssi crashes like that
<1> o.O
<0> ok
<0> I am now
<0> do you think is a good idea to make xterm open with screen by default? I am kinda using it a lot
<5> why not
<5> whatever works for you
<0> ok
<1> nighty night
<6> hi
<6> anyone?
<7> hey
<6> transset-df and xcompmgr are horribly buggy not worth using them
<7> ok...
<8> hi all!
<8> anybody can help me qith a transparency issue?
<9> ,trans?
<4> first of all you need the development-version of fluxbox; http://fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php then see the wiki http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Background
<10> For some reasonmy fluxbox startup script doesnt seem to do anything on start up. Whenever I reboot I boot into tui because kdm doesnt seem to want to launch flux for some reason. So I just run startx from tui. All fluxbox seems to load is a black background and the menu bar?
<8> fbot, thanks i know that! the thing is that it was working fine and now it's not doing it
<4> okies!
<8> I check the init file and everything is how it should be
<9> Daemon_X: redo all your steps, make sure you use feh to set the background or other good app
