<0> hi all :)
<0> I developed a new file manager, which is very fast and lightweight. http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1263
<0> I think this is suitable for fluxbox.
<1> well for now I made a redirect that is just taking all requests from the wiki to the mirror, I have to go to work, so when I get home maybe I will be able to fix up this proxy crap so it will work correctly
<2> alright
<2> this depends on way too much gnome libs
<3> just what the world needs, one more lightweight graphical file manager using icons. (personal, non affiliated opinionm without even trying it out)
<2> for me
<2> it is a free world
<0> tenner: It depends on NO gnome libs, just gtk+.
<2> ok, gtk
<0> tenner: Only the theme icons of gnome are used.
<2> but i have to install plenty of dependencies that are not even available for debian etch
<0> tenner: You don't need gnome at all. So I think this is suitable for fluxbox.
<0> tenner: Really? I developed it on debian,.
<3> uh. everything is suitable for fbox. or any other window manager for that matter.
<2> tried it out and it requuires a m***ive insall for me. i dont have too much of them
<0> shared: flux is very lightweight and fast.
<0> shared: But most graphical file mangers are too bloated.
<2> well, i see gtk2.8
<2> i only have 2.6
<4> pcman: url of your file manager?
<2> http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1263
<4> i was fluxnuts
<0> tenner: That's incorrect. Now 2.6 is supported.
<0> SiCuTDeUx: http://pcmanfm.sf.net/
<3> pcman: what does that have to do with it?
<2> then you need to change it on your site
<0> tenner: I need to update the page.
<2> :)
<0> tenner: Thank you for the bug report. lol
<0> tenner: I forgot to change it.
<4> it looks nice
<0> SiCuTDeUx: It's damn fast.
<4> mmm... nice :D
<4> im using thunar
<4> works great!
<0> SiCuTDeUx: It's similiar with thunar.
<4> yep.. i can see that!
<0> SiCuTDeUx: But mine has "tabbed browser".
<0> tabbed browsing
<0> sorry for the typo.
<3> so, all my windows have tabbed browsing.
<0> shared: lol
<4> hmm... xterm doesnt support copy and paste?
<0> SiCuTDeUx: Please give it a try when you got time. :)
<4> looks not
<5> copy and paste is not term dependent if you use highlight and middle mouse button
<4> hehe i have a laptop
<4> i dont have a middle button
<4> xD
<5> right and left at the same time then
<4> doesnt work...
<4> 10:14 < SiCuTDeUx> looks not
<6> try shift+ins
<4> ok that worked
<4> but what i want is to copy something in the terminal and paste it some where else
<7> isnt the menu generating tool supposed to put icons in for you?
<8> sort of
<8> why?
<7> I get no icons
<7> :P
<8> what's your distro?
<7> archlinux
<8> hmmm
<7> maybe I have to install menumaker
<8> it doesn't find *any* icons, or you can see just a few?
<7> non
<7> at all
<7> its ok
<7> I am capable of editing the menu by hand
<7> fluxmenu hates me aswell
<8> Priest-of-Psi: out of curiosity, do you have a /etc/xdg directory?
<8> with menus/ inside?
<8> Priest-of-Psi: you are allowed to reply
<9> can fluxbox be configured to come up in kiosk mode?
<8> define kiosk mode
<9> full screen, one application no switching off that application. Flux box would only be there to support the one and only application
<2> kfries: make the toolbar invisible and you have all the space you can get
<2> besides that, what you want is app related
<2> fluxbox is a windowmanager
<2> if the app supports it, you can go in your kiosk mode
<9> I thought it was a desktop manager, am I confused?
<2> ,fluxbox
<10> fluxbox is a powerful but slim and fast window-manager based on the original blackbox. check the /topic for all the latest news.
<2> and what the hell is a desktopmanager?
<9> A window manager manages window decorations, and resides inside a desktop manager... Gnome and KDE are desktop managers, Metacity is generally their window managers
<8> configuring fluxbox to be in a public kiosk environment is a good article to put in the wiki
<2> wrong, kde and gnome are desktop environments
<8> kfries: metacity is the equivalent to fluxbox
<9> Ahhh, now my confusion gets clearer, yet grows
<2> hehe
<2> name the app you want to run in kiosk mode
<9> Running DSL, need to figure out what the desktop is. Want to run Firefox or Opera in kiosk mode, which is no problem (-kioskmode on cmd line), but the user should not have to start the browser, nor leave it... That is kiosk mode from the desktop
<2> well, auto start firefox when starting fluxbox
<2> btw, i have no -kioskmode switch
<9> on which application?
<2> firefox
<2> maybe you like to explain what you want to do, seems like the easier way
<9> Sorry, that is Opera, in FF you need to add an extention, and make the adjustments in the prefs.js file
<9> A) Start Computer
<9> B) Fires directly into X
<9> C) Automatically starts a browser
<9> D) Leaving browser shuts the machine down
<2> that's all?
<9> The rest of X and Linux is only for administration, the end user will never see it
<9> Yep, thats all, all content delivered via HTTP, PHP, and AJAX scripts
<2> what have you done already? a and b are done i ***ume?
<11> I inserted the following command in ~/.fluxbox/startup (root-tail -g 800x250+1+500 /var/log/messages,green -fn /var/log/messages &) but it didn't work. Any ideas?
<9> Yep, and we have the script to shutdown the machine from within the browser. No I just need to lock them into the browser
<2> kfries: lemme try something, maybe it is easier than you think
<2> diezare: does it run from the cli
<11> yes
<11> but after i remove the &, ofcourse.
<11> Oh! i think the problem is in the permissions. How can i make the command run @ startup as root or give my user the permissions?
<2> diezare: man sudo, man sudoers, /j #yourdistro
<2> kfries: well, even easier than I thought :)
<2> startx /usr/bin/firefox --whatever-extension
<2> then X will come up with no windowmanager at all. you dont need it actually. if you close firefox, X shuts down
<2> i think this is what you want
<9> hey thanks Il NGtBtry
<2> whf is that
<11> well tenner, i tried to ask in #gentoo, but it seems that no people have background about fluxbox cause i mentioned some stuff like ~/.fluxbox/startup etc.... i'll check wut ut old me
<2> why do you expect the #gentoo folks know fluxbox?
<9> oops, sorry, accidentally entered japanese entry mode, but was typing english...lol
<2> is is the gentoo support channel
<9> Hey thanks, for the help, I will give it a try
<11> Well i know but i think u just said ask in /j #yourdistro
<2> np, as long as it works
<2> diezare: you mentioned your permissions on log files
<11> ah i didn't know ur talking about that, u mentioned it after that by lines. thnx anyway
<2> well well well
<8> the problem is DSL uses an ancient fluxbox version too
<2> are they still on 0.1.14?
<8> 0.1.10-1
<8> ops
<8> 0.1.10-2
<2> holy crap
<7> is there a way to set the gtk icon theme?
<2> #gtk+ knows
<2> google too
<2> we still are a fluxbox support channel
<0> Priest-of-Psi: yes
<0> Priest-of-Psi: You have to add ~/.gtkrc-2.0
<0> Priest-of-Psi: The format can be googled.
<0> Priest-of-Psi: Of you can simply ln -s a gtk+ theme rc file in /usr/share/somewhere to ~/.gtkrc-2.0
<0> Priest-of-Psi: This is the fastest way.
<12> does anyone know of a way to use mouse gestures with fluxbox? Or is this something that someone would need to code in?
<2> fluxbox cannot handle mousegestures
<2> and i dont think that someone will waste time on anything similar
<12> hey now, I may have some time to waste
Return to
#fluxbox
or
Go to some related
