MXFBPi Beta 2 testing

[Jerry3904]

Where would be a good place to reset Headphones? I could do a little script and link to it from the rootMenu, and rofi -show drun would find it if I create a desktop file.

@dolphin_oracle If those 2 reset buttons backup the existing and repopulate from skel I would think we would be OK. Will test.

they do back up. the reset all just runs the install_flux.sh script. the reset dock and reset menu pulls from /usr/share.

Code: Select all

QFileInfo resetALL("/usr/bin/mxflux_install.sh");
    QFileInfo resetDefaultDock("/usr/share/mxflux/.fluxbox/scripts/DefaultDock.mxdk");
    QFileInfo resetDefaultMenu("/usr/share/mxflux/.fluxbox/menu-mx");

I can change them, but even if they pulled from etc/skel, etc/skel is changed during mx-fluxbox updates.

Hey, I solved the BT headphones problem. I wrote a little script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

rm -r ~/.config/pulse; pulseaudio -k

exit

Then linked to that in the startup file. Now everytime if I have my speaker running and log out and back in, I right-click the BT icon in the systray > Recent connections and highlight the speaker--ta dah!

I currently have the script in ~/.fluxbox/scripts though not sure if I should leave it there or put it *downstairs* in /usr/bin

Does it do the same with two tabs in a single Thunar instance?

Could you use FB's remember function?

BTW: you can rmove Th off dead center, right?

When using tabs, the progress box is still huge.

Changing the progress box size, then setting 'Remember' sticks.

Thunar can be moved OK

Good.

Tested a BT mouse, worked OOTB.

Right-click menu>File Manager opens /home/pi/.fluxbox.

Right-click menu>File Manager opens /home/pi/.fluxbox.

Chris

OK, thanks. I'll think about this some more, but it looks to me right now that when /etc/rpi-issue is present then skel should not be overwritten. As long as it is not overwritten, then the reset buttons can point to it IMO.

[dolphin_oracle]

so you will never update /etc/skel?

in that case, just set up the files and remove the mx-fluxbox packages. no updates, not problems.
