invalid sleep command. Form it like the other examples in the home startup. (sleep 10s;xxkb) &

I wasn't paying attention to the command but the location (/etc/skel/.fluxbox/startup) where he thought it should be placed.

this is exactly the file I am dealing with, it is a text file name - startup in the location /etc/skel/.fluxbox/

@G77 /etc/skel/ is not the location of the file you need to edit. It is going to be in your home folder under the hidden .fluxbox folder. I mentioned that in post #2.

This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.
