<0> hi, can you recommend a minimalistic green-monochrome style to make fb appear like one of these monochrome boxes?
<1> I bet you can get one of those monitors for free
<0> sure, but...
<1> actually, I have an Apple II-GS upstairs...
<1> apparently connectors have changed in the past 20 years
<1> wow, that thing doesn't even have a connector for an external monitor
<0> :)
<0> actually, I would be content with an optical reminiscence to these things inside fluxbox, in case such a style exists.
<1> just make one
<0> ok
<2> hi
<2> where I can get fluxbox themes ?
<1> ,styles
<3> get fluxbox styles from http://boxwhore.org | http://tenr.de | http://dugnet.com/klown/wallpaper/thumbs.php?dir=_themes/_fluxbox | http://browse.deviantart.com/skins/themes/fluxbox/ | http://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo/distfiles/fluxbox-styles-fluxmod-20050128.tar.bz2
<2> _markt thanks!
<4> hi, i'm using freebsd6.1 and when selecting a style fluxbox says: "Fluxbox: There is no background option specified in this style."
<1> ,background
<3> 0.9.15 removed the "rootCommand" from styles. To set a default "nothing" background for your styles, do this: echo "background:" > ~/.fluxbox/overlay
<4> ok..so there is no way to have the wallpaper autoload with the style anymore?
<1> ,changelog
<3> changelog is either surf to http://www.fluxbox.org/changelog.php or to http://tinyurl.com/mrkgy
<1> http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_set_the_background
<4> yeh i've read that one
<1> obviously not
<4> but it's an inifile setting right?
<4> oh must be another entry then..
<1> always was
<1> oh, you mean init file; no
<1> 2. Setting the Wallpaper with the style
<4> i see
<4> a much nicer way to set it...no more weird tools
<4> thanks for the info
<5> Hey guys, I am having some problems with menu transparency...would anyone be able to help me, please???
<1> http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_set_the_background
<5> let me take a look :)
<5> so basically I need to install feh package?
<1> that would be a good start
<5> ok, thanks a lot _markt! :D
<6> "configure: error: Fluxbox requires the X Window System libraries and headers." - how do i check to see if the headers were installed with x?
<1> they weren't
<6> lol
<6> ok
<7> what distro do you have?
<6> trustix
<7> what is that?
<6> trustix secure linux - server distro
<6> trustix.net
<7> using what as its base?
<7> I think we need about 500 more distrso
<1> anyway, the package with the headers is bound to be something with a -dev or -devel after it
<7> distros*
<7> if its debian based you can apt-get builddep fluxbox
<6> I'm not sure, I believe the developers built it from the ground up
<7> that will install all the crap needed to build from source
<6> The site says nothing about being based on debian or any distro for that matter
<1> how do you install programs?
<7> swmp
<1> from source? or is there a package manager?
<7> SWUP - The Secure SoftWare UPdater
<1> ok, where does it get the packages from?
<7> this looks like some kind of firwall distro
<7> firewall*
<6> I install from swup if available from source if not
<1> how is it better than freebsd?
<6> nope, its designed to be a secure server
<7> hallowed: why does a server need X anyway?
<6> it's just a test to see what kind of server load x will put on the system
<6> I want to vnc to the server instead of using the command line.
<1> then why do you need a window manager?
<7> Ive never understood the X on a server thing
<1> ditto
<6> I can ssh, and have no problem with it, but I just _want_ to vnc to it to try it out. if I don't like it then 'll get rid of it
<6> well this is turning futile, as I install, the list of dependant files just keeps growing
<6> l;ol
<6> I don't have the patience to do it tonight
<6> thanks for the help guys
<8> heya, i was here like last week to get help with styles & the new 'background' style-command-thing
<8> anyway, i found the issue i think why it was working erratically some of the time... i run gentoo and the fluxspace package i was using as the rootCommand in my init was broken
<8> once i removed the broken fluxspace command from ~/.fluxbox/init, it worked fine ever since
<1> yeah, fluxspace is wicked broken
<8> yeah... well i haven't really investigated it much or anything yet
<8> i knew it was broken but i didn't uninstall it or anything because i figured it was just crashing and not doing anything else, didn't think it would interfere with the operation of fluxbox if it never got loaded
<8> and i was going to try to fix it*
<8> is there anything else besides fluxspace that is as fullfeatured? (starting/closing apps for specific workspaces when you switch to them, allow different backgrounds, icons, etc)
<1> gnome
<8> i really don't care about icons, but it would be neat if i could just switch people to a beginner-workspace when i let someone use my system
<8> haha
<1> fluxbox and beginners don't mix
<1> give them gnome
<7> or kde
<8> that'd require installing them :P
<1> well, it's that or windows
<8> uh... it isn't *that* hard to use
<1> well, I'm glad I started with gnome
<7> if you have new users to linux that you want to make feel comfortable and productive in linux fluxbox or any WM is a bad choice
<7> if you just want to show your mom how cool you are and make her scared to use the computer then stick her in fluxbox with nothing
<8> well, most people i let use my system just want to use aim or webbrowser
<8> and i just get tired of having to tell them to right-click the background instead of looking for a start menu :P
<7> then give them kde or gnome
<8> and watching them freak out when they accidentally scroll to another workspace and think they broke something, lol
<8> ok then, from now on i will direct all friends who wish to use a browser to my 12 year old sister's kubuntu system :P
<8> because i refuse to waste time & resources loading all of that crap just so that someone can click a start menu for gaim rather than right-click a background for it
<1> I just open the browser for them
<1> fullscreen
<1> and then turn off my keybindings
<8> i just tell them to right-click the background/desktop to see the program list :P
<8> it isn't like it's super-complex
<1> you don't know the people who use my computer
<8> most of the time it's like 'can i use the computer?' 'sure, go for it' *wait on them to ask where the icons are* 'hey, where are your icons?' 'i don't have any, just right-click the background to see the programs' 'ahh, ok'
<1> "hiked a time of 33:13 today and then jogged down the whole trail with a time of 21:47. and that took everything i had. if i can do that, then i don't have to stoop to downloading porn if i don't want to."
<8> *wait on omg what happened?!* 'omg! what happened?! i think i broke it' 'lol, just click the little arrow on the bottom left until you find it again', 'oh, you have seperate desktops, cool!'
<8> hah
<1> and that's from someone who DOES use fluxbox
<1> today, I caught my mom cutting the cat's white hairs; she does not get to touch my computer
<8> heh
<8> my mom runs debian on & off
<8> my sister's only os is kubuntu
<8> she doesn't really admin it or anything, though. she just boots/uses it when she feels like playing games :P
<8> she can install stuff and use it fine with aptitude, though
<8> although i have no idea why she prefers gnome
<8> over kde
<8> maybe that's why she doesn't use it as much anymore...
<8> ahh, i bet i know
<8> i think it's cuz of the whole double-click thing
<1> she uses gnome on kubuntu?
<8> no, my mom uses gnome on debian
<8> next time i go to boot linux on her system for some reason, i'll see about setting her desktop to kde again and try configuring it so the icons require double-clicking
<8> anyhoo... back to work
<8> just wanted to report why my styles were acting funky previously in case someone was trying to look into it and couldn't replicate the error
<8> and also dunno if not loading style backgrounds because of a messed up rootCommand in init is considered a bug
<8> thanks for your time, adios!
<9> is there a way in fluxbox to move the xterms around to maximize space
<9> least amount of overlap?
<1> :arrangewindows
<9> hmm
<9> how can i do this
<1> ,keys
<3> ~/.fluxbox/init -> session.keyfile: ~/.fluxbox/keys | read the wiki at: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_keys_file
<9> thanks!
<9> i got it working
<9> nice
<9> thanks a lot
<10> hi there
<10> i upgraded my debian to testing
<10> and installed the fluxbox package from dopey
<10> but now (and with the fluxbox in testing) my eterm makes strange problems when startet with -x (no border)
<10> it starts in the upper left corner of the screen, does not take focus and cannot be moved/resized/...
<1> it must be setting CWOverrideRedirect
Return to
#fluxbox
