Tried on two different machines with MX-21 and MX-23 @dolphin_oracle

@Jerry3904 Works for me just not on the fly anymore. Only applies to newly opened windows. Tested with Thunar open.
The Window Manager section does work on the fly. MX-23. Haven't tested MX-21.

Thanks @dolphin_oracle


@Jerry3904 When I use the traditional toolbar (Appearance > Toolbar > Fluxbox) I have a new message in .xsession-errors.

Code: Select all

Failed to read: session.screen0.systray.pinLeft
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.systray.pinRight
Setting default value

Following this thread (#168 Feature: Make systray icon pinning (ordered) available https://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/patches/168/)

I found this in the fluxbox.txt document. Line 1290 (https://github.com/fluxbox/fluxbox/blob ... luxbox.txt)

Code: Select all

*session.screen0.pin{Left|Right}*: 'classes'::
Sort the system tray icons according to order specified in 'classes', which is
a comma-separated list of CLASSCLASS properties of the X clients (The second
field of WM_CLASS from the output of the *xprop(1)* utility).
+
Consider a system tray "A C B D E F". With pinRight set to "A, B" and pinLeft
set to "E, F" it will look like "E F [C D] A B" while the icons in [] are
unordered as usual.

All of the 'location' resources following require a pathname to their specific
files. This is where you can specify different files. Most of the defaults will
be located in the user's *~/.fluxbox* directory.


I added these two variables (as a default) to my init file and the error message disappears.

Code: Select all

session.screen0.pinLeft: E, F
session.screen0.pinRight: A, B

Hi. I just installed the beta on my old Dell Latitude E6220, with 8GB RAM and ~120GB root partition using btrfs.

The nala upgrade sticks on unpacking papirus-icon-theme (20230601-0.1-mx23+1 over 20230104-2), at 5.3%. The same happens on apt upgrade, apt-get upgrade etc, unsurprisingly.

After ctrl-c-ing out of nala I had to kill the stuck dpkg process.

I then marked papirus-icon-theme as held with apt-mark, and the update continued as expected.

So at first glance it looks like an issue with that icon package. Hope this helps.

@Jerry3904
Disregard that init post. I can't seem to replicate it anymore.
I removed those extra entries and have either logged out and in or rebooted several times for the past 15 minutes but the message doesn't reappear.
I don't know what could have triggered it but maybe it has something to do with MX Tweak because I was testing all the settings when I saw your initial post to dolphin.

I am getting a new message but I will wait for the update to MX Tweak.

the papirus icon theme takes forever to update. its highly compressed. so you very likely just didn't wait long enough. I mean it takes a loooonnnnnngggggg time.
