@m_pav I changed the boot parameters from the default
quiet splasht nosplash to what I have in MX19
ro no quiet
Hey presto, start up time more than halved! Correct 1920x1200 screen resolution! Shutdown and reboot work without hanging!
@Jerry3904 Nice to see greyblue tint2, even if it's spelled wrong
One very minor quibble, background 4 (the MX button) doesn't need a border because the MX icon you're using already has one.

so something like
Code: Select all
bash -c "[[ -z $(acpi 2>/dev/null) ]] && { ;} || { notify-send 'battery low'; }"

We'll be doing a complete review of the tint2s next week and I hope you'll join us

@Melber can you try your system live just removing the splasht parameter?

hello dolphin_oracle and everyone
Jerry3904 and kobaian
The screencapture i reach for [launch] the most is a <scrot> one line gives cursor and saves automatically. just like quickshot, but why open feh?
Can do it one line <scrot> or <import> in MX. Two shots at a time with <import>!
The quick ones that give cursor need no translation.
A screenshot utility written for antiX specific,
is here bent into MX21_fluxbox specific.
full-featured when you want different than quickshot.
Was looking at the command line capacity of lazpaint to convert files; lazpaint is not in MX_fluxbox beta1, so using <convert>.
Font path for scrot "note" option can be configured at local user level after this screenshot utility is installed; the default path is strict.
/.fluxbox/apps yad control interacts with the yad windows of this screenshot utility. yad better for this without the /apps over-ride.
A lot of work went into the /apps file, but is left some cleaning out of missing software for /apps. For fbrun to work "nearmouse" i had to take it out of /apps. Synaptic dialogs big; removed Synaptic from /apps.
Sent the wrong file first time. user/.fonts if you have them.
Edit: use the second, with l1 name
This second one has common, I hope, font paths [to liberation] 8-|

The "no" in your startup line is not a recognised startup switch. I tested the altered startup on my VM with only "ro quiet" and there was no change whatsoever in the time it took from keypress to first sighting of the wallpaper, so this may be simply a solution that is particular to your hardware. Be interesting to see if others can report the same or similar things.

@i_ri Thanks for posting that. I'm not myself in any hurry to change, but will look carefully at your script if and when I am.
