<0> i know
<1> there is nothing special about artwiz, works the same.
<0> Well... i will try to remove and install/configure again
<2> huh?
<0> ty _markt, wiki will help to solve my problem :)
<3> imagine!
<0> :)
<4> Anyone know of a FrontPage-like prog that runs well on Flux?
<3> $EDITOR
<5> FluxLover: Depends what you mean by FrontPage :)
<5> but you should look in sourceforge or freshmeat for those kinds of programs, or a similar site
<2> nvu
<6> how do I make fbpager to load when fluxbox starts ?
<3> ,startup
<7> startup is the configfile generated by startfluxbox, read all about it in man startfluxbox or http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howtos#Integration_.2F_Startup
<6> thanks
<6> nice bot
<7> nevermind dude
<3> what a weird thing to say
<6> it doesnt says anything about fbpager
<3> wow
<3> maybe fluxbox isn't for you
<6> haha
<6> ok
<8> 19:56 < FluxLover> Anyone know of a FrontPage-like prog that runs well on Flux?
<8> :)
<9> Anyone know how I can manually edit my preffered appliations (default app for web browser, e-mail, etc?)P
<3> what's a default application?
<3> sorry, "preferred"
<3> you might try making a sign and posting it on your door
<9> ?
<3> lmosher: your question doesn't make any sense
<3> you can't run a file that isn't executable
<9> _markt, Actually, if you think about it I guess, it does. I'll rephrase with some background information.
<3> lmosher: don't bother; it's nothing to do with fluxbox
<9> In KDE and Gnome there is a menu option for "preferred applications" that sets the default application to launch, for example, a web browser.
<3> and how do you use those applications?
<3> double click the file name in your terminal?
<9> Well, for example, an applet wants to launch an e-mail application. It looks up the default 'email application' which is set to evolution.
<2> *yuck*
<9> I don't want this applet to run evolution, so I want to change the default e-mail program to something else.
<2> ,windowmanager
<7> 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.
<2> READ
<9> And there is a global setting somewhere, but I have no idea.
<2> read ^, please
<9> I am familiar with the concept, it does not help answer the question.
<3> yes, it does
<3> read it again
<2> actually it does
<3> fluxbox is a window manager; gnome and kde are not
<5> lmosher: you might have to use gnome or kde to change it
<9> No, because the answer to the question is a command that will tell me how to modify the settings
<5> I can't remember the name of the application to change that
<10> fluxbox doesnt have anything to do with that
<3> lmosher: if you don't think we know what we're talking about, would you believe us if we gave you the right answer?
<2> lord, let brain rain from heaven
<3> lmosher: if yes, then we've already told you; if no, what are you doing here?
<2> mhh, this sound better in german
<9> _markt, Yes, if it worked. Telling me that fluxbox does not provide the feature I'm looking for is not the answer, it's cursory information that does not apply.
<3> where's an op?
<10> arent you?
<3> no
<9> Get over yourself, thanks. I'm not a moron I understand the limitations of fluxbox, you could simly say you don't know the command.
<10> mmm you should get knighted
<3> lmosher: you don't seem to understand
<3> lmosher: there is no command
<2> not at all. i will explain it
<2> lmosher: there is no default app for fluxbox because fluxbox ONLY manages windows
<2> hence the "windowmanager" name
<2> your default stuff is provides by a desktop environment such as gnome and kde
<2> bobbens: the extra brain did nothing
<2> i still cant type
<8> lmosher: what you have to search is the settings of your filemanager.
<10> and you never will be able to :)
<3> not the file manager; the program that he wants to run another program
<8> well, i was thinking of "explorer" )
<8> :)
<3> that's your first mistake
<10> eeeeww
<9> tenner, You do understand that just because fluxbox doesn't dictate these default options does not mean that my particular application isn't using said default option.
<9> And that doesn't change the fact that I'm looking for the answer.
<9> I just figured that perhaps, limited by a lack of kde and/or gnome menu, someone here would know the command I'm looking at right away
<3> lmosher: it has nothing to do with fluxbox, period, full stop
<8> lmosher: fbox doesnt have those settings / options, whatever
<2> 2025 lmosher> I don't want this applet to run evolution, so I want to change the default e-mail program to something else
<9> Instead I need to join #kde, ask how to do it, have them tell me a series of menu clicks and THEN ask them to tell me the command to open that dialog.
<2> fluxbox doesn have any applets
<6> what app do you use to browse files ?
<3> lmosher: now you're getting closer
<3> ,faq
<7> faq is frequently asked questions are at: http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/en/faq.php or http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Faqs
<2> javiolo: wiki > faq > what filemanager
<3> javiolo: there's a big list of them on the faq on the wiki
<6> ok ok thanks thanks
<9> Sorry, I just figured you guys would need/use this regularly, so I figured you woul dknow
<2> of what apps are we talking about? if i may ask
<2> thhis will clear things of
<8> btw, i set the "default" apps in my .zshrc ...
<9> for future reference, the answers that would have applied would have been: "You can use kcontrol directly, it's under "component choser" and for gnome apps the command is "gnome-default-applications-properties"
<8> alias -s
<3> anybody going to remember that?
<6> but what do you people use ?
<8> _markt: what?
<8> javiolo: zsh
<3> javiolo: read the wiki and choose yourself
<2> lmosher: that are kde's / gnome's apps.
<6> Im reading the wiki
<9> _markt, If you can't remember that, I suggest you stop pretending I'm a moron
<2> lmosher: what the hell do they have to do with fbox?
<3> what we use is irrelevant; you'll only get smart-*** answers from us
<9> jack-*** you mean?
<3> lmosher: I didn't say I couldn't; I asked if anyone would
<9> tenner, Well, I wrongfully ***umed someone in here encountered this more than once and knew the command
<2> take this as a "no"
<9> When I asked in the gnome/kde channels they were confused at first as to why I needed a command, I said I was using fluxbox, they said that ****ed.. a short but livable conversation ensued
<3> lmosher: after a month or so on fluxbox, everyone abandons all of their gnome/kde crap
<9> they looked up the command and I got it and changed the default application
<10> to have those you either need kde or gnome crap installed, i have neither
<9> _markt, I've been using fluxbox for about 3 years?
<2> so why gnome then?
<9> what do you mean "why gnome then?"
<2> if you use fbox for 3 year, why do you change to gnome?
<9> I never, ever changed to gnome. I really dislike gnome's setup
<9> The application that I am running uses glib
<2> why do you need the controlcenter then?
<9> and instead of having an option that allows me to specify the mail application, it simply looks up the default mail app...
<2> looks up from what?
<3> that's why we get rid of that crap
<9> the gnome perferred application list?
<2> but how do you use the list?
<9> _markt, Well there are a lot of useful applications that use glib... You're really telling me you don't have that installed?
<9> tenner, You run 'gnome-default-application-properties"
<2> i'm sllightly confused
<2> lmosher: how do you start your email client, i mean
<9> Sorry, that's how you MODIFY the list, as far as how to use the list I have no idea.. I don't program in gnome's GUI language...
<9> tenner, It's some gnome scripting command, I ***ume...
<2> but how? do you type the command in? do you use a keybinding?
<9> tenner, ok so this program I have is an e-mail notifier, right? It opens a popup
<2> aha
<9> But the dude who wrote the program wants you to be able to click "open e-mail" from within his little tray application
<2> so what does this notifier has to do with fluxbox?
<9> and this program ***umes the e-mail client you want to run is the gnome preferred e-mail applicatoin, which was set to evolution
<9> Again, I ***umed someone had encountered this before...
<2> your starting question was ****, if i may say
<9> Apparently...
<9> anyway, gotta run. Thanks for the chitchat :P
<3> donor?
