mxfb-2025 development ideas

Include to the iso a small swap-file 16-32MB and eliminate any possible crash of any program.

These are my original first words. If after so many years in linux and three here you understand that by "include in the iso" you understand that this means what you can do on the process of installing or setting persistence you are worthy of your stuborn fate and even if 1000 years pass you will continue to live in your cave. This way every thing that you are able to do it can be considered that it's included in the iso! Are you serious?

On live usb swap partition is auto mounted. I said that are both automounted after you said that you had a dedicated swap partition. Setting a dedicated swap partition or swap file of course means that you create it and set it to mount on fstab. And of course I had in mind a live usb and that's why I said that they would both automount and you could easily and quickly check the size. {They both automount even on on a standard installation.}

The hall thing starts that you got totally wrong "Include to the iso".

Now I understand how you have so many posts. You are chatting and misunderstanding dear old experienced user!

I suggest to stop here and let others read and judge.

A small swap file is created during installation if no partition is setup. This is from both of my XFCE and KDE VM's.

Code: Select all

Swap:
  Kernel: swappiness: 15 (default 60) cache-pressure: 100 (default)
  ID-1: swap-1 type: file size: 3 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) priority: -2 file: /swap/swap

Now let's return to ideas for MX-25 fluxbox.

@Jerry3904 and any other workspaces users.
Any interest in a tool to manage workspaces?

Pretty cool. I usually just use my mouse wheel.

You can add/remove/rename workspaces with your mouse wheel?

OnDesktop Mouse2,
middle-click is the meaning for workspace menu(?) writing mouse wheel.

the new tool works here.

I suggest dropping the attitude, it is not making you any friends, and will result in warnings.

If you have a problem with users, you can use the report button or contact them via PM. Thanks.

ah, I now see what you and Siamhie mean. You can add/remove/rename workspaces with mouse wheel click. Didn't know that.
Guess it shows that I don't use workspaces...

Seems the tool is kind of redundant then.

Hello Melber
Also a fluxboxCommand for setworkspacenamedialog
works on the CURRENT workspace.
New is nice.
Remote action false here. keybind Mod1 n :Restart
replace fluxbox-remote with xdotool key alt+n

I open fluxbox' init file in a texteditor to change workspace names, and hit reconfig..

Yeah, that's all the tool is doing as well. Just via a yad dialog instead of featherpad et al...

I tried it and it works well, but I do think it is redundant on a Fluxbox install. I will try to remember next time I revise the MXFB Manual to include that middle-mouse tip.
