MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

That's an important finding, sounds solvable to me

So people can test, I've made the fluxbox-git debs available here since they're not in the repo any longer.

I hope I can find a solution to this audio issue. I did come across another issue regarding YouTube but I'll make another post after I have exhausted my sources with the audio.


But for now, I want to say that my issue with windows losing their borders when resumed from a monitor turned off (manually or through xset commands in the startup file) no longer happens.


Currently in MX21-fluxbox, when I turn my monitor back on (manually or from xset variables in my startup file) I see this



I then have to refresh the desktop so that the window behaves like this (original positioning)



This seems to have been resolved (for me) in MX23-fluxbox-a2. Kudos for that

Great, Tim! It'll probably be early tomorrow for me at this point.

some terminal apps (htop) open in roxterm, but the Terminal entry in the fluxbox menu opens Xfce4-terminal.

Took a quick look. Many of the tint2s are screwed up as we saw before (up is down, etc.), though a couple of the shorter ones (simpleclean, for example) are normal. Just to repeat: the sid antix fluxbox does not appear to have these problems. Can we just use it?

[dolphin_oracle]

cntrl+alt+t also starts roxterm. so the menu entry for Terminal appears inconsistent with the other system setup.

hello m_pav
touchpad
a machine here delivers right-click for two-finger-tap and delivers middle-click for three-finger-tap. that is not correct. does it live. does it installed. check a box to use libinput, still not correct. A mouse plugged into usb works correctly.
On other machines the tapping is conventional.
on this ibm the touchpad gets the wrong message from tapping,
and the keyboard special keys do not all work, like brightness. antiX beta was just installed here and all keys and touchpad worked well.
I wondered if Jerry3904 has an X1 I wondered if its touchpad is tapping correctly with
mxfbalpha installed:

i think the x1 has the same keyboard, but i don't know if it has the elan touchpad(?)
edit: i put on this ibm a external touchpad. the usb touchpad is conventional with three finger equal right-click.

trialed it on mxxfcealpha and that has fluxbox installed. xfce session and mxfluxbox session both react well to the external touchpad; both sessions read the internal touchpad as three finger middle-click. it must be this elan touchpad on the ibm is quirky.

mxfbalpha installed your xfdashboard; works well; has the wnck message. The version 1.1 is the same wnck warnings too. Thanks, installed it on mxxfcealpha when you provided it, I think that was the first ever time i did not have to makeinstall it (six times i think,) just install from repo, thanks.

just speaking historically

a question of toolbar settings menu came up right when we have all these versions at hand. Get the Toolbar Menu by clicking on the fluxbox toolbar. by version. ,
v1.3.5 left-click in fluxbox toolbar Workspaces
v1.3.5 right-click on fluxbox toolbar non-iconified space.
v1.3.7 middle-click on fluxbox toolbar non-iconified space.
v1.3.8 middle-click on fluxbox toolbar Edge.
