MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

[timkb4cq]

Looks like our bullseye 1.3.7 never got ported to bookworm @timkb4cq

Anticapitalista built that package. It's still the latest version so I'll just rebuild for bookworm.

tint2rc - systemtray issues
============
tooltips displaying below bottom screen edge.
solution:...

...will likewise have to be changed in MX-comfort.tint2rc too

button command for all other tint2 toolbar need to be changed from xfce4-appfinder to a suitable rofi call.

Thanks, will try your solution.

Updating tint2 configs added to the to-do list.

mxfb-appfinder
============
why does a selected category open in a new (centered) rofi window?
can't this be opened in the same appfinder window by adding a reload function in the categories script?

Yeah, that's kinda my fault. Forgot that the categories script points to the main rofi. D'oh!

Layout and content of mxfb-appfinder still needs to be finalised, eg. I think it may be better to ditch the "categories" tab and just list the various categories themselves in the side bar...

Menu Editor won't open. Menulibre segfaults in terminal.

I'm not understanding this.

OK, now I understand: "Menu Editor" on the Menu > All Apps. I don't believe MenuLibre should be installed by default in MXFB because we use flat files, rofi or manual editing the the All Apps script. Unless you have installed xfce4-appfinder, I suppose.

@Melber You will notice that I added Quickshot to the little dock. That was just a way to signal the problem that, if user has no dedicated key (which has come up a couple of times already) s/he will never find the app with the menus. In my tries, the only word that would get it was "shot."

EDIT: maybe it would suffice to define a key such as

Code: Select all

Ctrl q :Exec quickshot

@Jerry3904 I've only installed XMMS and LibreWolf. I'm just testing the default menu entries currently. This is what Menu Editor points to from Settings.

Code: Select all

[exec] (Menu Editor ) { /usr/bin/menulibre } Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;Utility;

[Jerry3904]

Yeah, I understood that, thanks. My conclusion for now is that menulibre should just not be installed by default since it has no role in MXFB unldes

Had a fail to build with our bullseye version. The cause was a bug had been fixed with a tiny commit (changing one > to a !=) in fluxbox in 2015!
So I pulled the latest from git (last commit 7/31/2022) and built that since there have been a lot of small bugfixes since 2015. I just uploaded fluxbox_1.3.7+git20220731

What amazes me is that fluxbox 1.3.7 is still stuck in debian experimental with no current bugs that look serious enough to have blocked it.

Just an update to my sound issue. Neither MX Select Sound or PulseAudio Volume Control detects my sound card (Device-2).

Code: Select all
