MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

[dolphin_oracle]

@siamhie please try this one. things are reordered a little bit and I think working the same now on all three desktops.

[siamhie]

@siamhie please try the attached deb. it reorders the startup for wireplumber and will always try to start wireplumber whether on systemd or sysVinit.

@dolphin_oracle That worked .


Good.

I’ll have some more refinements later for you to try. There are some edge cases I need to work out.

Sounds good.

No problems with this version (23.05.03). Volume icon shows when booting to SysV or SystemD. systemctl status showing wireplumber (1655), volume icon (2015), pipewire (1531) and pipewire-pulse (1533).

Deb Installer still generates an error at the end but I suppose it's harmless? The program does get updated and reflects it in MXPI.

[dolphin_oracle]

the message is harmless. its on the list, just haven't got to it yet.

[Jerry3904]

Just uploaded corrections to 7 of our default tint2 configs to change start button to new rofi.

BTW: on my laptop, vertical-up and -down don't show the start button, maybe somebody could look at those two (I'm running out of time)

[Jerry3904]

@siamhie I can confirm this

Installed xmms (Popular Apps) but it doesn't show in menu (maybe tied with menulibre issue? I tried to edit the full_menu file in submenus but it gets over written.

I checked its install location ("which xmms" in terminal) and I see it was installed into /usr/local/bin/. That's clearly not where it belongs (unless there's some reason I don't understand) so there's a mistake somewhere in the installation procedure rather than in the All Apps script IMO.

[dolphin_oracle]

doesn't matter where the bin file is, matters where the .desktop file is located.

[Jerry3904]

Ah, of course. I'll check...

[dolphin_oracle]

Ah, of course. I'll check...

antiX's build of xmms puts the desktop file under /usr/share/applications/antix, which the mxfb-menu-generator script does not pick up.

it does now. just sent update to tim.

rofi picked it up ok. so does whiskermenu after a panel restart.

[Jerry3904]

@siamhie If that were me, I bind a key such as

Code: Select all

Alt x :Exec xmms

@dolphin_oracle Applied the update (mxfb-accessories) to my MX21 desktop and xmms now shows in the Multimedia category. Will do the same thing when I boot back to MX23-fluxbox-a2.

@Jerry3904 I tend to have my mp3 folder opened in Thunar and just select songs at random I want to listen to with xmms as the default player.
When I do launch xmms first, it's usually to put together a playlist to listen to, so I have xmms in my root folder as a shortcut.

The only keyboard shortcuts I do is to turn off my keyboards LED's when I'm away from the computer.
