MX-21 fluxbox beta 1 feedback thread.

[Jerry3904]

Back to the battery: I haven't found anything yet in a web search or looking at the man file.

I can't test, but can someone try filling the last two fields in the config file like this (this is a wild guess!):

Code: Select all

# Battery
battery_tooltip = 1
battery_low_status = 10
battery_low_cmd = xmessage 'tint2: Battery low!'
battery_full_cmd = 
bat1_font = Noto Sans Bold 12
bat2_font = Noto Sans 9.5
battery_font_color = #df3030 100
bat1_format = 
bat2_format = 
battery_padding = 1 9
battery_background_id = 3
battery_hide = 25
battery_lclick_command = 
battery_rclick_command = 
battery_mclick_command = 
battery_uwheel_command = 
battery_dwheel_command = 
ac_connected_cmd = battery_hide = 101
ac_disconnected_cmd = battery_hide = 25

Nope; didn't fix it.

Thanks! I'm going to try putting a sed in there later today.

I like simplicity, but the screenshoter is too simple for me, and makes posting screenshots much more complicated.

Thanks for the feedback. Mike and I discussed this too, not totally agreeing. My feeling is that the percentage of users wanting to make Forum posts is tiny, and they have the option of just installing xce4-screenshooter for advanced features. BTW: that's true of a lot of the software on this version: it's either missing alltogether (Libreoffice) or present in a simpler app (deadbeef instead of clementine).

Not written in stone, but Tenner's little app is superfast and easy--there is a right-click (feh) menu and a config file in ~/.config/MX-Linux.

Hello dolphin_oracle
%y%m%d_%M%S and png and -s and -q given in config.

Code: Select all

scrot -s -q 80 /$HOME/Pictures/%y%m%d_%M%S.png -e 'feh $f' &exit

quality -q
png type reads 90-100 as 90, [9]; 80-89 as 80; 83=80; 75=70
jpg type reads actual number
mxfb-quickshot specifies png, so -quality to 80 brings smaller file size(?), than it is now set at 100 (read as png90) big file.

To exit quickshot before feh is quit
in /usr/bin/mxfb-quickshot Add one & at the end of the scrot command line that opens feh, add & to the end of the line (?25.) seems to change the behavior of the script. though i added &exit (a bit different behavior) just like the one line above, the one-line does not work with just &.
Without this the script will exit when feh is quit, as is this original status.

I just put shortcuts to mxfb-timer and mxfb-quickshot right into the main rootmenu.

no sound from beta on this machine, WallE, beta xfce live and installed. beta1_fluxbox live, no sound this machine; not at the installed point yet.
live works in other machines sound; WallE works sound with other systems.

Code: Select all

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel 5 Series/3400 Series High Definition Audio 
  driver: snd_hda_intel 
  Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.10.0-8-amd64

FYI: right-click on the panel clock brings up the timer (left-click the calendar)

[Jerry3904]

Only the current RAM requirement with something around 750MB (the xfce beta is not better) is still suboptimal

@wdscharff : did you try disabling wmalauncher in startup, and then using a second tint2 panel as the dock? Somewhere Ceeslans showed there is a big difference.

On minimal: like MX Xfce since the beginning, MX-21 Fluxbox is conceived as a "midweight" Fluxbox version, meaning that we try to find a balance between lightness and ease of use.

Battery again: please see if adding these commands to the last two lines of tint2rc and rebooting fixes the problem:

Code: Select all

ac_connected_cmd = {sed -i 's/25/101/' ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc}
ac_disconnected_cmd = {sed -i 's/101/25/' ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc}

Nope.

The command is reversed but it definitely works. But that does not appear to be where the problem lies--stumped for now, leaving it alone.

[oops]

... Maybe this kind of cmd line works for both (laptop and desktop) ?

Code: Select all

battery_low_cmd = bash -c "[[ $(upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 | grep 'power supply' | cut -d: -f2) == no ]] && { ;} || { notify-send 'battery low'; }"

not bad. does tint2 only issue the low battery warning once?
