<0> hi
<0> how to lock my machine ?
<0> with KDE it's easy, what about fluxbox
<1> xscreensaver?
<2> turn it off; lock the door; ask your distro
<1> lol
<3> turn on full maximization, maximize a terminal and hit Ctrl-S
<2> xlock and xscreensaver aren't worth much as prevention; if they crash, they leave the computer in a logged-in x session
<2> if you want to lock your computer, you need to log out
<4> anyway I can set a gtk icon theme? thunar has no icons
<3> try gnome-look.org
<4> qeed: I have Nuvola, which I want to use, but I don't know how to set it up
<3> thats for kde right?
<4> well, it's worked previously
<3> copy that dir over to /usr/share/icons/
<4> I'm not sure it's KDe specific
<3> and hope that kde naming conventions is like of gnome
<3> or symlink would work, i think
<3> it worked for my tango icons setup for kde
<4> I already have the nuvola folder there (portage)
<3> did you tell gtk+2 apps to use nuvola?
<3> like in .gtkrc-2.0 or something?
<4> qeed: hmmm nope
<4> whoops
<4> what's the line?
<3> try adding this to it
<3> gtk-icon-theme-name = "Nuvola"
<4> ok, need to restart X?
<3> nah
<3> a simple thing like that needs not a restart
<4> hmmm...well nothing's changed in thunar...
<3> hmm...trying running xfce-setting-show and setting the icon from there
<3> and if it works, remember to add xfce-mcs-manager to your .xinitrc or something
<4> qeed: heh...for that much work, it's worth moving to konqueror
<4> thankyou for your help though
<3> :/
<4> when I am doing GUI file management, it's normally only because I want to do something weird, and for that, it's probably worth having something that "does everything" anyway
<3> trying asking in #thunar then i guess
<3> *try
<0> KDE has lock
<0> fluxbox doesn't.. hm
<2> ,windowmanager
<5> A window manager is the software that controls the placement and appearance of application windows under the X Window System, a graphical user interface on Unix systems that enables a user to interact with a number of application programs simultaneously.
<0> heh
<2> that's what fluxbox is; KDE is not
<0> part of managing windows is to lock them or unluck them
<2> lol
<2> did you read what fbot said?
<0> i agree that kde has bunch of extra stuff
<0> this is a security feature, but not a must
<2> placement and appearance; your question is completely beyond the scope of fluxbox
<2> and, as I already pointed out, such lock features aren't really secure
<0> it's related to it's appearance.. you make it black and nothing shows except a p***owrd input field
<2> please, take my word for it; it has nothing to do with window managers
<3> locking the screen is the whole screen, not just windows
<2> take your question to google or your distro's channel
<0> i have many windows open, and don't want to log out since i'll be back shorlty
<2> and I promise you'll get a lot more results in google if you DON'T use the word fluxbox
<0> okay =]
<0> my distro is #gentoo and they say "depends on the DE"
<2> they do not
<2> they're a lot more competent than that
<2> google for xlock
<2> or alock
<4> Mahmoud: im not sure fluxbox is a DE
<2> I'm sure it isn't
<4> Desktop Enviroment normally means a lot more than fluxbox provides
<4> _markt: i use gentoo too, and I ***ure you, picking a random on #gentoo can end up with surprisingly incompetant results
<4> thank god the entire distro isn't in their hands
<0> how do you guys lock your screens?
<2> I close the laptop and carry it with me
<0> lol
<4> Mahmoud: i use gnu screen and when I want to get up, I kill X and logout
<3> i use the cookie monster ;p
<4> 99% of my work is in screen
<0> CalJohn: will applicatoins be still running? such as firefox?
<4> Mahmoud: do you know what gnu screen is?
<0> no
<4> Mahmoud: it's for terminal programs only
<2> now you have three things to google
<0> so, you close your laptop and take it with your self
<0> CalJohn kills X and logs out
<0> more?
<4> seeing as fb takes less than a second to load on this machine, it's never a program to kill X
<0> when I left right on the desktop I see list of applications I can execute.. when I right or left click on the workspace in the taskbar it shows workspace related options.. Is it possible with fluxbox to make it a way that clicking right click showing the expected ordinary menu, while making the left click showing the desktop right click menu?
<0> s/left//
<0> s/right/right click/
<2> no
<0> sometimes I can't click on my desktop unless I iconize all windows.. which is hard when they are too many..any way to figure this out?
<2> ,keys
<5> ~/.fluxbox/init -> session.keyfile: ~/.fluxbox/keys | read the wiki at: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_keys_file
<4> Mahmoud: yeah, set keybindings
<6> what's a nice theme? I have all the gentoo themes installed
<2> we can't tell you what you like
<6> wel, there are so many to choose from :>
<6> what's a nice, dark one?
<6> maybe one you'd prefer?
<2> oh, gee, that's just too bad; I don't know what you could possibly do to find a theme you like that's already installed
<3> overflow is a nice dark theme
<6> _markt: so man :>
<6> many
<2> remove some
<6> lol
<6> qeed: ill try it :)
<3> check out tenr.de, alot of nice dark themes
<6> oops
<6> qeed: overflow is nice, what was the second line you said?
<3> <3> check out tenr.de, alot of nice dark themes
<6> thanks
<7> Hello.
<8> not that i plan on customizing quite that much of my fluxbox for a bit, but curiosity does require i ask, is it possible to create two slits on one screen/desktop at different positions?
<2> no
<8> drats, that would have been neat.
<8> ok, and the next question actually is a tiny bit trickier, but not much, i don't think, and i didn't find a description for the line on fluxbox-wiki.org, but for the xset r rate X Y, i imagine that controls the repeat rate of a key that's being held down, mostly in my case, del, backspace or an arrow key, but could someone explain what each of the two numbers are for? if it were just one number, i think it'd be more s
<8> elf explanatory, but that second number there's throwing me off a bit.
<2> read the xset manual
<2> it's very descriptive
<8> ah, ok, i was reading the startup manual instead, i'll do that :)
<8> hrm, ok, i've found out the info i need, but by chance, do you recall what app i can use to test the value of keys for?
<2> xev
<8> thanks :)
<9> hello
<9> how i can remove the stuff above on my windows?
<9> for example.. running an aterm, i have a littler rectangle above the windows with "user@host"
<9> how i removeit?
<2> configuration --> tabs --> in titlebar
<10> it's called a "tab"
<10> and in your case it's an "external tab"
<10> you probably want internal... do what _markt says :)
<9> o, there is the name
<9> tabs
<9> thanks
<11> morning
<12> hello!
<13> privet php-coder
<12> mit3z: hi!
<14> Any german users with artwiz fonts? snap and lime seem not to be able to display german letters.
<15> When I start gnome apps without using the gnome-settings-daemon, which font do they use?
<15> They sure use some font, but where is this "default" specified?
<11> poonot all artwiz fonts support german umlauts
<11> paoleela_work i mean
<11> http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net/ <-- grab the german package
<14> tenner: I see. There is a special german Version then. The media-fonts/artwiz-aleczapka-en ebuild won't do german letters then.
<11> nto as long portage provides the old package
<11> which is no i guess
<15> i dont know what is so strange about my question that in no chat, i dont get any answer.
<15> just wondering
<11> what question?
<15> When I start gnome apps without using the gnome-settings-daemon, which font do they use?
<11> ahh, the gnome font question. simple answer: you're in the wrong channel. this is #fluxbox, not #gtk+. ask a fbox related question and you receive plenty of answers
<11> ask a offtopic question and you have to hope not to be kicked in the ***
Return to
