MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

[Jerry3904]

I think there has a config file with the timeout but not on MXFB right now

[Melber]

The default exit-options conf file which gets installed to /etc/exit-option.conf has all options commented out.

The user defined conf file in ~/.config/MX-Linux/exit-options.conf first gets created by exit-options-manager.

So we need to either edit the settings in the default exit-options conf file from

Code: Select all

# timeout=<sec>

to

Code: Select all

timeout=10

or have exit options make a ~/.config/MX-Linux/exit-options.conf file with uncommented settings.

I would prefer the defaults be modified in exit-options. being its already basically fluxbox-only.

I came across these entries in my .xsession-errors file.

Code: Select all

Keys: Invalid key/modifier on line 54): Control Mod1 Bksp :Exit

Code: Select all

Keys: Invalid key/modifier on line 175): Mod1 KP_End    :MacroCmd {ResizeTo 50% 50% } {MoveTo 00 00 BottomLeft}

Keys: Invalid key/modifier on line 184): Mod1 KP_Begin  :MacroCmd {ResizeTo 70% 70% } {MoveTo 00 00 Center}
Keys: Invalid key/modifier on line 186): Mod1 KP_Insert :ToggleCmd {Maximize} {Restore}

I figured Fluxbox is complaining about double key binding entries so i just commented them out.



This one is new to me though.

Code: Select all

Failed to read: session.screen0.struts
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.struts.1
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.iconbar.iconifiedPattern
Setting default value

I can only find two references when searching for a solution.

Failed to read: session.screen0.struts.1

Failed to read: session.screen0.iconbar.iconifiedPattern

I managed to find a solution to these new errors. I combed through the updated asciidoc on the fluxbox git repository.

Add these variables to the init file.

Code: Select all

session.screen0.struts: 0,0,0,0
session.screen0.struts.1: 0,0,0,0
session.screen0.iconbar.iconifiedPattern: Relative

Line 1013

Code: Select all

*session.screen0.iconbar.iconifiedPattern*: 'string'::
Allows to decorate the title of iconified (minimized) windows.
The title is represented by "%t".
+
Default: *( %t )*
--
Available options:;;
- *Left*: Fixed width, aligned left
- *Relative*: Width varies to fill the iconbar
- *Right*: Fixed width, aligned right
--
+
Default: *Relative*

Line 1201

Code: Select all

*session.screen0.struts*: 'integer', 'integer', 'integer', 'integer'::
Shrink the workspace by left, right, top, bottom pixels (positive integers)
This allows you to add some padding to the workspace eg. to keep a fraction
of the desktop visible against maximized windows.
session.screen0.struts.<n> allows to control this for individual heads
(<n> starts counting at 1)

Default: *0,0,0,0*

OK, sounds good.

I've been following the MX 23 Fluxbox pre- beta thread and came across this post

Beta 1 fluxbox isos are uploading to sourceforge. I’m uplifting them for mike.

Can we install this now or should I wait for an official announcement?

[Jerry3904]

If you see them and know that they have finished uploading, go ahead. Be sure to run all the integrity tests, though, just in case.

But please don't post any comments--just wait until the announcement is out and then use the feedback forum indicated.

@Jerry3904 OK, will do.

I'll go ahead and install MX-23_fluxbox_beta1_x64.iso and report my findings in the appropriate thread when it becomes available.
