Trimming the fat

Where does it get actually launched? Is it outside of MY (~/.fluxbox) realm?

Post your startup file.

BTW, mpd was a system service. I had a vague recollection of that from when I installed it, and it kept having errors on startup and whenever I did anything with apt. I just ran "sudo systemctl disable mpd" and now it doesn't launch at boot time. Getting better, y'all! Thanks!

It appears cantata brings in mpd.

Code: Select all

Package: mpd
Version: 0.23.12-1+b1
State: not installed
Description: Music Player Daemon
Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing audio files


Package: cantata
Version: 2.5.0.ds1-1+b1
State: not installed
Description: Qt client for the music player daemon (MPD)
Cantata is a graphical front-end for the music player daemon, MPD.

EDIT: okay, that got rid of idesk but not wmalauncher. Down to 342 MB and still working fine. Interesting side note -- I booted up with systemd, which added about 100 MB, a little of which was the pavuctl volume icon on the systray. I now see why it doesn't show up unless I boot with systemd....

My bad. wmalauncher is part of MX Dockmaker. Another program I don't use.

Yesss!!! Thanks to @Melber wmalauncher's presence is no more! Initial RAM stack now down to around 291 MB.

Got to try slimski, udevil (though I have an "as needed" script I can use through xfe to mount pluggable USB sticks, it would be nice to have something that works as well as udiskie but way smaller), and roxterm (again, it was deemed not worthy early on but I need to try again -- thanks, @rokytnji.1 !).

Yep, @siamhie -- I didn't THINK I was using the dock, but had it in the startup script even though it was being hidden (?).

I am SOOO thankful for all the talented, knowledgeable, and helpful folks on this forum! You all rock!!!

[Durhammer]

Ahem, @rokytnji.1 -- how come your instance of roxterm is so much smaller than mine? (This is likely why I chose lxterminal earlier.)

Code: Select all

 13.5 MiB +   7.1 MiB =  20.6 MiB	lxterminal
 18.2 MiB +   7.1 MiB =  25.4 MiB	roxterm

Yours:

Code: Select all

  6.5 MiB +   4.5 MiB =  10.9 MiB	roxterm

I don't see anything obvious in its configuration/preferenes that would account for this. Now, I DID also install roxterm-data, but it seems that comes in with roxterm as well anyway. What gives?

[anticapitalista]

rokytnji.1 is using antiX, which ships with the old series roxterm gtk2/3

Thanks! I knew @rokytnji.1 is on AntiX, I wondered if it was just a difference of antiX libraries or something. Is that version of roxterm available to MX users?

[rokytnji.1]

Easier for me using my MX gear when I practise using antiX

Like I use this script in /usr/local/bin to get weather instead the Fluxbox weather icon

in my MX 23 Fluxbox installs.
