MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing
Posted: Fri May 05, 2023 1:11 am
by m_pav
Fresh off the press, we have a 64-bit Alpha-2 ISO ready for testing and feedback.
We're looking for testing and feedback on fluxbox specific issues but at the same time, checking that a number of issues found with the Xfce Alphas discovered to date have been remedied.
The unsigned ISO is hosted on my Google Drive, so please be patient when downloading if they choose to put a limit on simultaneous downloads.
This Aplha, as with all other alphas is NOT intended to replace your daily driver and all support will end when the next release, be it another Alpha or a beta is released.
@Jerry3904 @dolphin_oracle please feel free to have this thread edited if you wish to provide a list of things to look for

Downloading as we speak. Will install on spare partition set aside for MX23 testing.
Will it stay on google drive or will it be moved later?

100% up to date moments before I finalized the build. I saw the first the first 2 around 11am NZST and the docs showed up just after 4pm, so I updated and finalized the build, checked it in VBox, put up this post and uploaded the ISO near 5.30pm.
It's now 11.20pm so I'll check back in the AM. Happy to recheck and re-upload if needed.

--Menu > Goodies > Xkcd does not work. The file is in mxfb-goodies, is set to be installed correctly, mxfb-goodies is installed, but I don't find the file in /usr/bin.
--Menu > Run does not work, though Ctrl+F2 does using the same code. In both, the word "run" should probably be changed to "drun" We need run here to capture all executables.

Good job Jerry and m_pav ! Pleased to see the alpha2 was created and available so quickly.
Here are some initial findings. Dunno if my solutions prove right on other machines, but provide same anyway
tint2rc - systemtray issues
============
tooltips displaying below bottom screen edge.
solution:
- create new background #8 for systray only:
with 2 px top+bottom border and colors
Code: Select all
# Background 8: Systray
rounded = 0
border_width = 2
border_sides = TB
border_content_tint_weight = 0
background_content_tint_weight = 0
background_color = #1d2324 100
border_color = #1d2324 100
background_color_hover = #aaaaaa 22
border_color_hover = #aaaaaa 22
background_color_pressed = #0f56d9 60
border_color_pressed = #0f56d9 30
- edit systemtray settings:
change padding / background ID / icon-size
Code: Select all
# System tray (notification area)
systray_padding = 6 0 2
systray_background_id = 8
systray_sort = ascending
systray_icon_size = 0
systray_icon_asb = 100 0 0
systray_monitor = 1
systray_name_filter =
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.
mxfb-appfinder
============
categories --> spelling "accesories" should be "Accessories"
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?
$HOME/.fluxbox/startup - pipewire start
===========
- following error-message in xsession-errors:
Code: Select all
init [5]
start pipewire
/usr/bin/pipewire-start: 22: exit: Illegal number: 0s
need to edit line 22 in /usr/bin/pipewire-start to read:
- a lot of error messages, mostly related to rtkit absence?
(believe it is not necessary to install rtkit, eventhough it does reduce the number of error messages?)

Thanks much! That run problem confuses me ATM, besides what I posted above about "run" not being one of the modi.

I found an easier way when testing MX21-fluxbox. Open the tint2 settings and click on 'Edit the selected theme'. Select panel on the left and scroll to the bottom. Change the option for Maximized windows to "Match the hidden panel size" and save.

No regression intended, good catch. Looks like our bullseye 1.3.7 never got ported to bookworm
@timkb4cq
This problem specific to that card, I guess. Everything OK here with intel.
No sound icon on tint2 toolbar; MX Select Sound doesn't detect onboard sound card (Device-2) or HDMI/DP device either nor does alsamixer detect it.

XMMS is in Popular Applications under Audio but is not found in Enabled Repos. I can add it to my root menu and it will stay, just not when editing the full_menu file in submenus.

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...

@siamhie 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

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.

upgrading fluxbox to version 1.3.7+git20220731 is messing up the position of tint2 toolbar. After reboot, it shows up in topcenter (where apparently fluxbox legacy toolbar is expected to appear. When setting this to 'BottomCenter in' ~/.fluxbox/init, then tint2 panel is floating 30 pixels above bottom screen edge.
This needs to be checked by the devs. In the meantime,
DON'T upgrade to this new version.
ps: I am sure that fluxbox 1.3.7-antix is working perfectly. Will set this up asap and revert with outcome

@timkb4cq do you mean the sid version won't build?what about the bullseye version (
http://la.mxrepo.com/antix/bullseye/poo ... f/fluxbox/ )
If I remember correctly, it was exactly the antix version that was offered in MX21 testing repo. And that one runs fine in MXFB23

Yes, you can install the bullseye version on bookworm. But it won't build on bookworm - too many things have changed since 2015.
The current git version has those things fixed and will build on bookworm. If you check the man pages, they have changed also as options have been added and changed.

FWIW I followed tim and have built new fluxbox for antiX19, antiX-21/22 and antiX-23 (not in antiX repos yet).
This new build fixes the issue of changing styles reported in some posts here.
antiX doesn't ship with tint2 toolbar.

Back to Mike's alpha: I see that Ctrl+Alt+t still brings up roxterm while I changed the rootMenu entry to xfce4-terminal just to simplify things.
BUT: I selected roxterm last time because it would return to a selected position and, now seeing it do that so politely, am thinking of restoring the rootMenu to the MX-21 terminal=roxterm. Anybody have any preferences about this?

I did look through the journal logs and it seems as the wireplumber.service gets disconnected from pipewire. (wireplumber.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=70/SOFTWARE)
I'm pretty good at deciphering error codes but this one has me kind of stumped. Maybe someone higher up in knowledge has an answer/solution.

Forgot to ask in my recent post.
Is Pipewire the default audio source in MX23 XFCE-alpha2 (as opposed to PulseAudio).
I only ask because when I tested that ISO on my hard drive, my on-board soundcard was detected at boot. (that might help me to narrow things down, at the most)

upgrading fluxbox to version 1.3.7+git20220731 is messing up the position of tint2 toolbar. After reboot, it shows up in topcenter (where apparently fluxbox legacy toolbar is expected to appear. When setting this to 'BottomCenter in' ~/.fluxbox/init, then tint2 panel is floating 30 pixels above bottom screen edge.
This needs to be checked by the devs. In the meantime,
DON'T upgrade to this new version.
ps: I am sure that fluxbox 1.3.7-antix is working perfectly. Will set this up asap and revert with outcome
@ceeslans How odd. My tint2 toolbar remained in place after today's update (1.3.7+git20220731) at the bottom center. I have made no changes to the individual fluxbox files.

Thanks. I'll continue to troubleshoot this on my end (for now). Odd that it works in MX23-XFCE-a2 but not MX23-flubox-a2.

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

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?

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.

v1.3.5 left-click in fluxbox toolbar Workspaces
v1.3.5 right-click on fluxbox toolbar non-iconified space.

I am testing on an X1 and two taps selects the word or string under/at the cursor; three taps selects the whole line. Huh: never knew that, never used it.
The touchpad is very sensitive, as usual, and I use touchpad-indicator to control.

Touchpad is hyper-sensitive, as usual with this machine. Haven't tried switching drivers with Tweak (but will now), though that hasn't had much effect in the past and I just use touchpad-indicator.

Not just the ibm elan touchpad; i tried mxxfcealpha with xfce session and mxfluxbox session on a hp8440p with synaptics touchpad.
same quirk.
the external logitech touchpad works conventionally.
The internal synaptics touchpad has it wrong, reversed, the three finger is middle click and two finger is right-click. that is wrong.

I’ve been using touchpads a long time. Two finger is usually right click. That predates three finger even being a thing.
At any rate we are using libinput defaults in this case. The only non default option is we enable tap to click by default.

touchpad
three finger tap equal right-click
two finger tap equal middle-click
I can tell you where I got accustomed to that
I just started up MX21 kde, xfce, mxfluxbox,
antiX all including antiX23bookworm have it that way.
I mentioned the difference with mx23 because it changed from previous.
The machines that have it reversed with mx23 [having three middle and two right] do have multitouch in previous MX versions the way stated as three is right two is middle.

You can probably return to the old synaptic driver by installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.
Having the synaptics driver is getting to be problematic and I’m intending to use libinput by default this release. But the old drivers are still available. Not sure if you’ll need a conf file or not to get that behavior.

I still think it's a bad idea to use an 8 year old version that no longer compiles on the release, but it's your release. I've added it to the repository.

--anticapitalista posted in this thread that he had made some adjustments to deal with some of the posts here
--antiX has been running an excellent fluxbox version(s) for a very long time

@dolphin_oracle I've sorted out my volume icon issue which also fixed a second problem which was YouTube videos were taking a long time to start.
When you asked if wireplumber was running and I checked and saw that it wasn't, I went ahead and added it to my startup file just before pipewire. I'm not sure if that is the way you guys have it setup as
but it works for me.
Code: Select all
#place network manager on the toolbar
nm-applet &
#start wireplumber service
wireplumber &
#start pulseaudio before volumeicon so unmute works
pipewire-start
sleep 2
volumeicon -c volumeicon-fluxbox &
#place clipboard on the toolbar

@Jerry3904 So do I but apparently wireplumber isn't getting started at boot which is why I went and added it to my startup script just before pipewire starts. Now systemctl status shows both wireplumber and volume-icon running at boot. (user-1000.slice)

Need to go back outside, here's where I'm at: purged fluxbox (which takes mx-fluxbox with it), went to MX repo website, downloaded and installed the antiX version, re-installed mx-fluxbox. For now: panel is behaving at the very least, will check if any problems.
I'm going to be very interested to see what @m_pav has to say about all this...

OK, this thread seems to have run its course. I'm going to update mx-fluxbox settings and other items uncovered in this thread as best I can and then ask @m_pav for an alpha3 with the antiX fluxbox {if he doesn't object) for a quick check before moving to beta.
@Melber If you have any changes the next few days would be the moment if you can.
I'm in NYC for business Mon-Tu, so it will be Wed before much gets done on my part though will check in Mon eve. Thanks to those who contributed to this thread, much appreciated.

@dolphin_oracle I'm not sure if this helps or not.
If I comment out wireplumber from my startup script and boot to SysV, then the volume icon shows up.
Code: Select all
#start wireplumber service
#wireplumber &
#start pulseaudio before volumeicon so unmute works
pipewire-start
sleep 2
volumeicon -c volumeicon-fluxbox &
but if I boot to SystemD (which is my default way) then I have to have wireplumber started in my startup file or else the volume icon won't show.
Code: Select all
#start wireplumber service
wireplumber &
#start pulseaudio before volumeicon so unmute works
pipewire-start
sleep 2
volumeicon -c volumeicon-fluxbox &
It seems that the pipewire-start script is not loading wireplumber for some reason.
Code: Select all
#/bin/bash
#first init check for pure systemd, no shim
INITCHECK=$(readlink /usr/sbin/init)
echo $INITCHECK
if [ "$INITCHECK" = "/lib/systemd/systemd" ]; then
exit 0
fi
#second init check for system-shim configuration
INITCHECK=$(/usr/bin/ps -p 1 -o cmd -h)
echo $INITCHECK
if [ "$INITCHECK" = "/lib/systemd/systemd" ]; then
exit 0
fi
#else start them up
echo "start pipewire"
if [ -z "$(pgrep -x pipewire)" ]; then
/usr/bin/pipewire &
fi
if [ -z "$(pgrep -x pipewire-pulse)" ]; then
/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &
fi
if [ -z "$(pgrep -x wireplumber)" ]; then
/usr/bin/wireplumber &
fi
exit 0
pipewire and pipewire-pulse are loaded at boot.

the problem with the fluxbox 1.3.7-1~git.... deb that was problematic may be particular to tint2. setting the panel to 100% width triggers the effect. 99% and the panel goes back to where it belongs. in addition, space is reserved where the tint2 panel is supposed to be located, so it looks like maximized apps don't fill the screen when tint2 is mislocated.
alternatively, setting the panel to "100%" width and adding a 1 pixel horizontal margin is enough to avoid the effect.
I doubt that there will be any future fixes for tint2 as the developer has apparently abandoned it. or at least "froze" the code and is not taking any more feature requests.
https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/-/commit ... 90c5b5cdf2
@anticapitalista by default antiX setups will likely never see the problem, but anyone that adds the tint2 panel might. not sure about other panels and docks. setting the fluxbox toolbar to 100% is fine.

@siamhie I'll play some with systemd. wireplumber and pipewire are supposed to startup via a systemd-user service so a startup script should have been unnecessary. however, its possible that due to the way systemd starts services that they may be launching out of sequence. KDE has a similar problem.
maybe in pipewire-start I'll relax the exit if system is detected, and launch the apps if they aren't running. or at least do that for wireplumber.

@dolphin_oracle That worked
. I commented out wireplumber from my fluxbox startup file and installed 23.05.02 and rebooted.
I did get an error when installing using Deb Installer but it did install. MXPI still shows version 23.05.01 but synaptic shows 23.05.02.

@Jerry3904 You can remove the wireplumber entry from the startup file as dolphins updated version of pipewire-setup-mx_23.05.02 takes care of the issue.

@Melber I have upgraded fluxbox to version 1.3.7+git20220731-0mx23+1_amd64
And
@dolphin_oracle's 1px horizontal panel_margin does the trick alright.
Note this is only for horizontal panels (either top or bottom), no need to set this for vertical panels
EDIT: for vertical panels this must be set to panel_margin = 0 1

@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

@Melber I'm making changes to my GitHub today -- will you be altering the panels? The problem for me with this solution is that any future user that creates a new horizontal panel at 100% will still run into the oops.
@Jerry3904 Yeah, I will go through the tint2s tonight.
New configs made by modifying an existing mx tintrc file will have panel margin setting 1 0
Margin setting 0 0 would only be a problem if user creates .tint2rc file from scratch or copies in from an external source. How many users will do that?
FYI: Will make a PR with fixes for appfinder and gkrellm config edits in the next half hour.

@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.

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 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.

If you are running with system language German, as I suspect, that's b/c the desktop file has exactly zero translations. I will "do a DeepL" and post the result on the Forum for revision as needed. I'm away on business Mon-Tu so maybe you could take whatever we get and slip it into the beta?

systray_padding = 4 2 3
systray_background_id = 0
systray_sort = right2left
systray_icon_size = 24

Default simpleclean has panel_size = 67% 38
Do the wifi and volume tooltips appear on screen or disappear off the bottom? Maybe the width % in panel_size also has an influence somehow.

Issue hasn't really occured to me because I only have one workspace and thus one big blob.
I am not a fan of gradients.
Wouldn't a slightly lighter background tone for the active workspace be enough? Or even just a vertical line to divide the two?
will try and mock up a couple of variants.

If you were to manually edit the tint2rc file then this is the line to look for. (took me awhile just now to figure this out through the rc file way)

I dont' see the 'blob' in this. Just like
@Melber , I usually have only one workspace, sometimes two, but mostly only one active. If needed to switch to another, I use a keybinding (rather than mousewheel). In additon: I can stand (or rather: understand) the use of icons-only for tasks in a vertical panel - but not in a horizontal panel. For me they need to show a name too; it makes viewing and selecting tasks easier. That and I'm a text-addict.
You could consider to make the panel auto-size, ie to grow/shrink with each activated/closed task, tray-icon or other started panel items. See below composed screenshot.

One of the first steps I do after installing new MXFB is bringing back the names of workspaces to the panel. This is much more comfortable to me and also more consistent with the rest of the fluxbox quasi-environment (middle-click workspaces-menu in Fluxbox, Rofi window-tab etc.)

@siamhie Yeah sorry, I meant of course in the panel config section. Had systray in my head because I was being harassed by a giant paperclip...
When I set strut_policy to minimum I have the problem that windows maximise over the top of the panel, which I do not like at all. Does this happen for you too?
Reading in the tint2 manpage
strut_policy = follow_size/minimum/none
...
- minimum means that the maximized windows always expand to have a common edge with the hidden panel. This is useful if the autohide option is enabled.
...
autohide = boolean (0 or 1) : Whether to enable panel hiding when the mouse cursor exists the panel.
...
autohide_height = integer : panel height (width for vertical panels) in hidden mode.
I have autohide = 0 (hiding disabled) and autohide_height = 2
Am wondering if setting autohide_height = 45 (same height as in panel_size) would fix the maximised window size. Won't be able to check myself until later tonight...

Hi:
After installing and updating "Alpha2" in virtual machine and restarting.
The Tin2 bar is placed on top of the small panel that is already there, although in the configuration it is set as "panel_position = bottom center horizontal".
If I change it to "panel_position = top center horizontal", it is placed at the bottom but it is not saved and when I logout or restart, it returns to be just below the small panel, but it is still on top of the screen...
Greetings

@Senpai : this quirk happened after upgrading to the latest fluxbox version 1.3.7+git20220731.
It affects any horizontal tint2 panel width of 100%. There's an easy fix though:
either change the width in panel_size to a lower value (e.g.
99% )
and/or allow a 1 pixel margin at both sides of the panel:
Hope this helps

I've just installed mx-23-fb-alpha, and here are my first impressions. Except the problems and errors listed above by others I've noticed that:
1. Even though I like the appfinder-menu, I miss the possibility of customization it using the MX-rofi-manager. I think this option is much more needed for a new user, than the customization of the main Rofi window.
2. I think it will be much more consistent, that the "run" command in FB rootmenu opens rather the rofi-run window, than fbrun.
3. Maybe some information about the appfinder menu should be added to the help tab? And what about the idea of using the standard help - icon from current icon-set instead of ">>" in the help tab?
4. There problem of non-localized submenus of the rootmenu still remains.
5. MX-package-manager icon on the desktop does not work properly. No su-to-root window - just a terminal window instead.
6. The help icon in the dock does nothing after clicking it.

in the menu-mx_es file, instead of pointing the submenus to ~/.fluxbox/submenus/appearances point to /usr/share/mxflux/menu/menu-translations/appearances_es or wherever the actual localized submenus happen to be.

Thanks to both; we're aware of the problem. It's unclear why it suddenly started not working, since the code works in a terminal. I suspect that the syntax may now be faulty for some reason...
@Jerry3904 When I run the command in a terminal I got an error that the run mode wasn't enabled. I added it to the rasi file but it still doesn't make sense why it won't launch from the root menu.

@Jerry3904 I got the Run entry in the root menu to work.
Change this
Code: Select all
[exec] (Run) {rofi -show run -theme ~/.config/rofi/themes/MX-run.rasi -run-shell-command 'rofi-sensible-terminal -e bash -c "{cmd} && read"'}
to this
Code: Select all
[exec] (Run) {rofi -show run -theme ~/.config/rofi/themes/MX-run.rasi}
Make sure to edit the config.rasi file to include the run mode.
Code: Select all
configuration {
modi: "run,drun,filebrowser,window,help:/usr/share/rofi/rofi-help";
show-icons: true;
icon-theme: "papirus";
//fake-transparency: true; << rofi 1.7 may require a compositor
//sidebar-mode: true;
}
@import "/mxrm-settings/display0.rasi"
@theme "MX-comfort.rasi"
//@import "/mxrm-settings/mxrm-settings.rasi"

@Jerry3904 @Melber What is the function of the 2nd part of the command, ie -run-shell-command 'rofi-sensible-terminal -e bash -c "{cmd} && read"'
Is this essential for specific command execution?

That's what gives us the option of opening in a terminal, so I could launch any app that needed sudo for instance. Was working fine.

I wrapped the original command in a small script that can be called from the rootMenu to start the run-box:
~/bin/rofi-mxrun
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
##start the standalone mx-run box
rofi -show run -theme ~/.config/rofi/themes/MX-run.rasi -run-shell-command 'rofi-sensible-terminal -e bash -c "{cmd} && read"'
in menu-mx:
... just until some one comes up with the ultimate exec command ...

Thanks, I was thinking of going that route.
EDIT: tested it, worked fine (just like it always has in the terminal). Named it "mxfb-rofirun" and just used that name in Startup: Ctrl F2 entry. Located it in mxfb-accessories, uploaded to MX repo.
Also updated the menu-mx in mx-fluxbox and uploaded.

Been fiddling with a new tint2 panel - now with workspaces!
Looks like this
MX-comfortworkspaces.png
Notes to screenshot:
- Old MX logo because screenshot is from mxfb21 (don't worry, I have also tested in mxfb-23alpha)
- the fuzzy logout icon from the alpha will be updated with this icon in the beta
If you move a window onto a new workspace the taskbar should split to show both workspaces.
Any workspace fans want to give it a try?
some other things to check
- wifi and volume systray notifications should be visible on screen
- systray icons should all be the same size (no giant paperclip)
- maximised windows should only extend to the top of the panel, not behind it.

Rename

actually someone renamed the default english help file, which should open when a localized version doesn't exist. Will fix the script.

Code: Select all
Maximized windows:
Match the panel size > strut_policy = follow_size (maximized windows sit on top of panel but tooltips disappear below panel)
Match the hiding panel size > strut_policy = minimum (maximized windows sit behind the panel but tooltips appear above panel)

Done for almost all translated menu-mx.
--some of those machine translations are wrong in the languages I read
--corrections will occupy us during beta testing in a separate thread
Can a couple of people please test? I think this will work:
1) go to the repo
https://github.com/MX-Linux/mxfb-docs/t ... anslations
2) find and download the menu-mx for your language of interest (e.g., menu-mx_es)
3) In a Live session (or first save the existing menu-mx for later restoration) paste that file into ~/.fluxbox/
4) save, refresh Fluxbox and confirm that the submenus are translated
Never mind for now about mistakes in those translations--we're only testing that this structural change works.

@m_pav I saw that post earlier but was looking for a solution using the tint2 settings manager.
I'll keep digging through the manager to see if I can come up with something without having to manually edit the rc file.

The solution I offered is certainly not failproof, but rather a workaround only for an ever-occuring issue in tint2. It may not work on other user's setup/system...
I did notice though that systemtray tooltips almost-always display correctly in tint2 panels of upto 32-34px height... Perhaps you could consider to adjust the default tint2 panel height accordingly?

There's no such a directory:

I've got
/usr/share/mxflux/menu-translations/ instead.
So the file
menu-mx_pl from the github does not work out of the box at all, but after changing the [include] paths to the correct ones it works alright.

@siamhie notifications only seem to work properly with certain autohide_height values. No idea why.
@ceeslans I find a 30 pixel panel a bit too thin

Been fiddling with a new tint2 panel - now with workspaces!
Well, that's annoying. I swear this panel was working properly on the alpha yesterday, today windows are maximising behind the panel again. Strangely it still works as it should in mxfb21.
Anyway, a bit more fiddling to try and get it working on the alpha.
fixed appfinder button - sorry, I had one
mxfb- too many in the path
Code: Select all

There's no such a directory:
/usr/share/mxflux/menu/menu-translations/ in MX-23.
I've got
/usr/share/mxflux/menu-translations/ instead.
So the file menu-mx_pl from the github does not work out of the box at all, but after changing the [include] paths to the correct ones it works alright.
Can confirm. The path has a
menu/ too many.

The solution I offered is certainly not failproof, but rather a workaround only for an ever-occuring issue in tint2. It may not work on other user's setup/system...
I did notice though that systemtray tooltips almost-always display correctly in tint2 panels of upto 32-34px height... Perhaps you could consider to adjust the default tint2 panel height accordingly?
@ceeslans I did try that. I tried values all the way to 55 pixels in height but the volume and WiFi tooltips would still show below the panel. All other tooltips (app finder, update notifier, clock and exit options) behave normally.

@Melber I keep the toolbar visible at all times, so I never bothered with those values.
Now to the good news. All tooltips now show above the panel. I'm not sure what did the trick as I was following an Arch tint2 wiki and had tried all sorts of recommendations.
My panel settings are back to normal and maximized windows sit on top of the panel and not full screen behind it. I'll make notes on what I do when we move to the beta phase.

Same here.
When playing with strut_policy=minimum I found that the value of autohide_height has an influence on where a window maximises to, even when the panel is set to never hide.
Does your config work if you change the panel width to 100% ?

@Melber Nope. Looks like I have a new issue. Seems the panel now is 35 pixels above the bottom of the screen. My tooltips still work but this is odd. If I set it to 99% width then the panel sits at the bottom of the screen as it should.

In my opinion, if we don't have a translation it will be much better having an English name, than literally nothing.
On the other hand, programs there are no icons for Nitrogen (the position "Tapety" on the picture), FAQ, Grsync, MX User Manual. Rofi shows only the names.

No thanks!
Your solution destroyed the whole fluxbox window manager after applying on my desktop. Yes - tooltips above the panel, but no root-menu, strange appearance of some programs - some are even unusable, e.g. the tint2 manager itself, no visible exit options window...

IIRC, I tried this setting when fiddling the default panel for mxfb21. All was good until at some point (perhaps after a reboot) window/screen geometries went haywire and windows were only showing half on screen with extreme distortion. Changing back to panel_pivot_struts = 0 resolved the issue.
Maybe it works better with the current mxfb23 fluxbox/tint2 setup. Will look into it...or maybe after reading

As far as I know, the tooltips appearing below the panel is not a specific problem of Tint2 or MX-Fluxbox. The last time I tried the MX-XFCE there was the same problem with horizontal panel layout. The solution I've got in MX21 is to have a well set proportion between the panel and the icon size. I've set it by trial and error method so I don't know any global solution.

@ceeslans I find a 30 pixel panel a bit too thin
<snip>
Next attempt at getting systray notifications and maximised windows to play nicely
Setting an autohide_height value that high, will virtually disable the autohide feature in tint2, since a 45px-high panel would then hide/lower by 3px only... That's why I usually set the autohide_height to 2px so the panel actually does hide (well, almost).
And yes, I use the autohide feature regularly

My aim was to get some default panel settings where
- systray notifications are visible above panel
- maximised windows don't overlap behind panel
- autohide is disabled
That's why I hoped the bottom 3 px of a maximised window getting hidden behind the panel was an okay workaround.
Obviously an autohide_hide=42 setting is nonsense if you enable autohide. Equally the maximised window/panel overlap ceases to be an issue.
But if you enable autohide you are no longer using default panel settings...

@Melber for the explanation; hope you'll find the right settings to solve this once and for all...
fwiw, here are two screenshots of semi-customized MXFB-23alpha, showing appfinder(s) in action:
- 1) rofi - displaying as a standalone screen-centered 'familiar' appfinder (I love what
@kobaian did with this)
- 2) jgmenu - automatically reading theme/font settings and colors from the running tint2rc

@Melber Nope. I hope sometime to be able to modify tint2 manager to change the current 12h/24h button into a hamburger icon that launches a number of quick common changes such as 12/24, autohide, etc.

not a *tooltip. it is a notification (?)
@i_ri If you mouse over an icon, it's a tooltip. If a popup window appears on it's own, it's a notification.

@Melber and others. I've got it ironed out regarding the tooltip issue. I booted over to 21.3 where I also have the problem and made small changes and took notes. This works.
In the tint2 settings manager, set these values. Parenthesized values are when you edit the rc file by hand.
Panel section:
Horizontal margin > 1 (panel_margin = 1 0)
Maximized windows > Match the panel size (strut_policy = follow_size)

Thanks, I was thinking of going that route.
EDIT: tested it, worked fine (just like it always has in the terminal). Named it "mxfb-rofirun" and just used that name in Startup: Ctrl F2 entry. Located it in mxfb-accessories, uploaded to MX repo.
Also updated the menu-mx in mx-fluxbox and uploaded.
@Jerry3904 Did you update the keys file yet?
Code: Select all
# open a little run terminal

@siamhie: you do realize that your panel height is set to 35px only ? Does it also work with a higher panel height (e.g. the default panel is 45px).
I tried your setup in mxfb-23a and all icons (including the paperclip) show up in a nice and uniform size - but tooltips still
refuse to take the upper edge.
To play nice and display the tooltips correctly on a 35px high panel, I need to change following:
a) create a
separate background (same as background 7, but with different border values)
Code: Select all
# Background 8: Systray
rounded = 0
border_width = 0
border_sides = TB
b) change
systray_padding,
systray_background_id and
systray_icon_size :
Code: Select all
# System tray (notification area)
systray_padding = 6 0 0
systray_background_id = 8
systray_icon_size = 28
some notes to the above:
- the border_size in background #1 influences to allowed panel height. If border_size is set to 1, then the panel height can be 36px
- when setting system_icon_size to a higher size than 28 , will cause the paperclip to show up in a much bigger shape than the other systray icons.
This is probably related to similar xfce-4.18 systray/panel-plugin quirks (like still existing for a.o. powermanager).
If others would like to check the above config for the mxfb-23 default tint2 panel, that is working correctly on my system (35px height only) :

@ceeslans I think monitor resolution might come into play with these tweaks. I'm working off a 1440 monitor so things could be much different with a 4K or 1080 (or lower) monitor.
I do have a 1080 stored away and will dig out this weekend and test it against my configuration.
But my initial issue is that only the volume tooltip and WiFi tooltip don't behave like all the other systray icons. I even had qbittorrent running (at the time of testing just now) and it behaves normally just like the apt notifier, clock and exit options.
One thing to point out, the volume and WiFi tooltips have a blue frame around the tooltip. All others don't. I'm not sure if I can easily change the icons for those two programs.
This is what works for the volume and WiFi tooltips.
Code: Select all
If panel is 35 pixels high then systray icon size needs to be minimum of 26.
If panel is 40 pixels high then systray icon size needs to be minimum of 31.
If panel is 45 pixels high then systray icon size needs to be minimum of 36.
If panel is 50 pixels high then systray icon size needs to be minimum of 41.
If panel is 55 pixels high then systray icon size needs to be minimum of 46.

@i_ri . That works even easier than having to remember to set the systray icon size 9 pixels smaller than the toolbar height.
When we move to beta, that will be the first thing I try.

We've been in the process of moving from the older synaptics driver set to the modern libinput driver set for a while now and as synaptics did not work well for all machine types, neither will libinput, so, for some, the roles may be somewhat reversed. If you need Synaptics, go ahead and install synaptics and if you feel so inclined, make for yourself a snapshot to serve as your Live-ISO when the release goes final. In short, find and use what works best for you and your hardware.

Excellent, thanks to both.
Will redo tomorrow.
Hmmm. I'm updating the rootMenu now with those changes but I think I'm going to have to do the work all over again once I run a new set of translations. The translations are created by an R script against a spreadsheet of translations applied to the four templates for menu-mx, appearance, settings and out-of-sight (all in mxfb-docs/tools). But now I have to introduce a string with a final element that changes for each language.
Is there a way to deal with that in the menu-mx_template?
WAIT: not sure if a *.csv will do this, but normally I could just put those 3 include strings within the spreadsheet of translations and have them end with a link to the top cell in the column where the language code is. Need to test later.
Result: Nope

I have a hack:
--copy the header row in the spreadsheet of translations with the language codes
--add a new worksheet and paste in 3 times
--copy the basic command up to the language code like this:
Code: Select all
/usr/share/mxflux/menu-translations/appearance_
--tab down the 3 rows pasting the appropriate command in the entry box above the spreadsheet itself
--save as something like "menu-command_hack" (csv will only save the active worksheet)
--now go back to the full spreadsheet, introduce 3 rows for the commands, and paste in the results one at a time
--check carefully

I'm seeing a problem with
@Adrian's dockmaker that I have never seen before and can't solve. Occurs running updated Live on default demo account as well as on a new user "test" one. No dock after the app closes, and I'm unable to get it to show at all.
That's why I made this comment to the PR for the changed DefaultDock.mxdk on 20 April
added background, border and highlight as variable
WARNING
Doesn't work with MX-Dockmaker
MX-Dockmaker needs to be amended to use background, border and highlight variables
When adding the border color I used variables for the color settings rather than the previous method of defining color settings for each wmalauncher entry
Code: Select all
BACK="#1d2324"
BORDER="#1d2324"
HILITE="#1f56d9"
wmalauncher entries should have
Code: Select all
--background-color $BACK --border-color $BORDER --hover-border-color $HILITE
Dockmaker tries and fails to write separate color values so you're ending up with
Code: Select all
--background-color --border-color --hover-border-color $HILITE
and the config is broken...

Equally my fault. I forgot to give
@Adrian a heads up and ask how much trouble it would be to amend Dockmaker...
This old version with no variables should work with Dockmaker.
Doesn't have the nice mouse-over effect and user is limited to named colors for background and border...

The thing we need to be mindful is that the poor dockmaker app is not a full bash parser/interpreter... it just loads the file and it tries to find some known values and replace them, please don't throw anything at it. If you want something like that somebody (not me) will need to rewrite the app.

--launch Menu > Appearance > Dock > dockmaker
--click Edit and open the DefaultDock
--tab over to the quickshot icon and press "Delete this application"
--save and close
Startup file is normal. Anybody else?
Yes, I'm seeing that also. It also happens when adding an app to the dock. The standard four go missing while the newly added app only shows.

Maybe a stupid question, but isn't it possible to set additional arguments under $PRESET+ (so similar to the $TTIPS+ arguments ?
I use that in a manually edited *.mxdk - and that works fine in MXFB23 (edit: many of the commands are not valid for mxfb23, but this only serves as example for $PRESET+ use)
Something like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
### PATH TO ICON DIR
DIR=/usr/share/icons/Papirus/48x48/apps
### COLOR & SIZE SETTINGS
PRESET+=" --window-size 40 "
PRESET+=" --border-size 3 "
PRESET+=" --icon-padding 0 "
PRESET+=" --background-color #252525 "
PRESET+=" --border-color #252525 "
PRESET+=" --hover-background-color #252525 "
PRESET+=" --hover-border-color #0050FF "
# PRESET+=" --icon-grayscale "
# PRESET+=" --hover-icon-grayscale "
PRESET+=" --icon-brightness 0.00 "
PRESET+=" --hover-icon-brightness 0.25 "
### TOOLTIPS
TTIPS+=" --tooltip-font DejaVuSans/9 "
TTIPS+=" --tooltip-show-delay 250 "
TTIPS+=" --tooltip-hide-delay 5000 "
TTIPS+=" --tooltip-text-padding 1 "
TTIPS+=" --tooltip-border-size 1 "
TTIPS+=" --tooltip-foreground-color #101010 "

If the program already sets a --background-color I don't know what it would happen if you add another --background-color... it's worth trying.
I can try to change how to program processes the script, but @Melber I need a full specification of how the script would look like. I didn't even considered it a "script" more like a configuration file, the problem is that we can come with with multiple bash valid scripts that won't be read and written back by MX Dock Maker because as I said it's not a bash interpreter. I also don't particularly like moving targets...

I'm not a huge fan of one-click opening in Thunar, but for me this option in MX-Tweaks does not work at all.
It is also impossible to me to get rid off the dock permanently. The two options in the rootmenu do for me just the same - hide the panel, but after the log-out and log-in it comes back again, where it was before. (I use the Polish translation, and I'm not sure if it is a global problem, or it appears only in my localized menu.

@kobaian Here's what I see in an updated Live session:
Dock
--"kill dock" works for the session
--"toggle autohide dock" does not work
--"disable dock" works for the session
This is happening b/c those scripts have been moved to /usr/bin. Thought I had taken care of that but I guess not.
--MX Tweak's enable single click in Thunar does not work
No idea what is happening here, so hope @dolphin_oracle will see this.

On MX-21.3 I see no workspace labels. (And the exit-options icon is wrong again). Oh, I see a nice blue bar on the active workspace--nothing on the inactive. Did you try having the inactive be a gray or something?
Will try on MX-23.

On MX-23, with a much smaller screen resolution (1366x768) the blue bar merges with the app label to produce a single blue box. There was a (nice) gap on the higher resolution.

you won't unless you copy in the new conky configs from /usr/share/mx-conky-data to your $HOME/.conky folder.

Looks good but as Jerry mentioned there's no workspace name but I see a blue vertical bar indicating which workspace I'm on (which I'm fine with) and the exit options are different.

When using alpha Version now, is it possible to go through beta and RC to stabile/official without reinstalling?
Will there be the same repos?
Or are there new and separate repos for each and new, clean installation is recommended for each version?

Copied from the very first post.
This Aplha, as with all other alphas is NOT intended to replace your daily driver and all support will end when the next release, be it another Alpha or a beta is released.

The Settings Manager behaves in MX32FB a little bit strange to me. After choosing Tint2 Manager it disappears, but after applying changes in Tint2 Manager the Settings Manager comes back, even without closing the Tint2 Manager. I think this kind of behavior is really annoying, because after applying changes to the Tint2, I'd like just to see the effect without anything disturbing me. I think it would be even better if the Setting Manager window stay where it was without closing at all, than this.

The other problem with themes chosen by MX-Tweak is that it is good only on GTK3 apps, but has no effect on GTK2/QT apps. Here you've got on the screenshot MX-comfort-dark well applied on Thunar (gtk3) vs. Pcmanfm-qt and Featherpad with the default light theme. As you can also see in the featherpad window, the qt-platformtheme variables seem ok.

For me it looks good, but from the ergonomic point of view such a big margin is a waste of space. Icons seem to me also a little bit too small.

Repos are the same. But I can’t guarantee updating from alpha will get you the same thing as an official release. In the alpha case it will always report itself as alpha.

The themes will change but depending on what else you have installed there may be conflicts with Qt. In particular if there are modifications to css files. Kde and fluxbox are a bad mix for this reason. Kde makes modifications to gtk settings files assuming it’s the only desktop installed. This also affects lxappearance.

All the more reason to keep lxappearance available in mxfb-23 - or at least for now. The two applications surely don't bite ; I'd rather see them as complementing each other

I have been using MX-Fluxbox with lxappearance starting from the early beginning of the project and I've never had any problems with that program. But I also have an old Macbook with LXQT over MXFluxbox, and there were some sometimes similar problems while choosing themes with LXQT-preferences tab. But if it happened the theme could be set correct with the old gtk lxapperace.

I've got no such a file in gtk-3.0 directory.
I've got only
bookmarks and
settings.ini
Here's the content of the latter:
Code: Select all
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Blackbird
gtk-icon-theme-name=Papirus-Dark
gtk-font-name=Sans 11
gtk-cursor-theme-name=DMZ-Black
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0

gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
I've change the theme to Blackbird now to see if the issue is still present. And yes - gtk3 is Blackbird, qt - MX-Comfort-Dark, as I have set it with lxappearance before.

Code: Select all
# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.

gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1

Of course MX-Tweak as a qt-application remains mx-comfort-dark as well even after closing, and opening it again.

@Melber In my screenshot I guess I've still got the original logout.svg and not the revised logout.svg (looks to be thin shaped and not full and crisp).
On a side note, will we (or can we) switch from this popup

to this popup?
logout3.png
The second one is much easier to understand with the text included. (I don't always mouse over to read the tooltip)

About conky: people who updated today, do you see the battery line now on the bottom of the default conky (Cowon-blue, -pink or -tangram)?
<bump>I'd very much appreciate it if someone could check for me. You can update the conky collection simply by opening MX Conky and
using the links in the popup announcement.
Reason I ask: on my Live updated system the conkies have no battery text at all.

you can't update by just opening mx-conky. you have to copy the files into your conky folder. alternatitvely you can delete the ~/.conky folder and start mx-conky, at which time the files will be copied in.

Choosing in MX-Tweak the debian-blue fluxbox-style destroys the wm. I am automatically logged-out and cannot login back. I have to go to tty and change the style to another one manually in the init file to repair.

The issue is with the x11-fonts that are set in the /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/debian-blue config file (for window-, menu- and toolbar fonts).
If NO font is specified in the ~/.fluxbox/overlay file, then debian-blue style will try to set the terminus font, which obviously is not installed. You could copy the updated font settings over from the 'debian-dark' style. Or just ignore it - for now...
Perhaps @Jerry3904 can correct the issue for the upcoming beta?

Not sure, what you are saying..
I was not aware that nala is now used within "MXPI"?
Also don't understand what menu is showing what twice?

note sure about the "same thing". May be some one could explain in simple terms what this is referring to.
Re nala processes: it puts at least one process int background terminal to capture libapt's output for further processing in order to present it "nicer" and it seems to be running twice.

I think they mean apt-notifier. fluxbox menu generation is triggered by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00exectmp whenever apps are removed or installed. nala triggers this twice in a row. It’s not really an apt notifier issue.

This must be something new. I reinstalled 21.3 a couple of weeks ago (from ISO) and now use apt-notifier instead of manually updating using nala and don't recall this happening before.

its a nala thing. we recently decided to use nala as the backend in apt-notifier.
I just sent an update to mxfb-accessories that will enforce a 5 second cooldown on mxfb-menu-generator. its enough that shoudl stop double running with nala but not enough to effect regular usage.

That probably one way to do solve it.
But is not only a nala issue, and maybe solved something like this
The issue regarding running twice mxfb-menu-generator relates to an issue with the use apt-conf trigger, where the DPkg::Post-Invoke is utilized.
This apt-conf DPkg::Post-Invoke trigger is run after every dpkg invocation by apt or apt based tools.
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00exectmp
Code: Select all
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -x /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator ]; then su $(logname) /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator auto; fi";};
On way to "fix" this issue, would be to check if anything left to do:
Eg. like this indicated by the following sugestion:
My suggestions for a fix:
* First suggest to give the conf file a proper name.
So instead of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00exectmp call it what it's actually doing like
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00-mxfb-menu-generator
* Next: adjust to check for every dpkg invocation something left todo for the menu generator,
to avoid running it twice or more [+++EDIT+++] or if it needs to run at all :
The content of the new conf file 00-mxfb-menu-generator could look like this:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00-mxfb-menu-generator
Code: Select all
// Update MX fluxbox applications menu if needed
// file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00-mxfb-menu-generator
DPkg {
Pre-Invoke {
"if [ -x /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator ]; then /usr/bin/stat -c %Y /usr/share/applications /usr/share/applications/antix 2>/dev/null > /tmp/dpkg-pre-invoke-timestamp; fi";
};
Post-Invoke {
"if [ -x /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator ]; then /usr/bin/stat -c %Y /usr/share/applications /usr/share/applications/antix 2>/dev/null > /tmp/dpkg-post-invoke-timestamp; /usr/bin/cmp -s /tmp/dpkg-pre-invoke-timestamp /tmp/dpkg-post-invoke-timestamp || su $(logname) /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator auto; fi";
};
};

agree that its potentially not just nala, but in practice the double run happens with nala.
we would need some logic for a postinstall script to remove /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00exectmp. just removing it from the package does not remove it from /etc.

Note: The proposed "fix" would also prevent the mxfb menu generator from running, even if nothing was changed to the menu items after the upgrade. I think this is currently the case with every upgrade.

Exit Options: I never use it but was just testing and noticed when suspending with it that the icon bar was still visible when I activated the laptop again by pressing the space bar or something equivalent. That means that I have an extra keystroke (ESC) which is not terribly troublesome, but would be more annoying for users who do not know how to cancel it.
Is this expected behavior?

I set this new configuration file up per your post.
the config does prevent running of the menu update when there is nothing new in /usr/share/applications/*** but, when nala does execute mxfb-menu-generator it still executes mxfb-menu-generator twice.
I've got the file name migration figured out.
file contents:
Code: Select all
// Update MX fluxbox applications menu if needed
// file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00-mxfb-menu-generator
DPkg {
Pre-Invoke {
"if [ -x /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator ]; then /usr/bin/stat -c %Y /usr/share/applications /usr/share/applications/antix 2>/dev/null > /tmp/dpkg-pre-invoke-timestamp; fi";
};
Post-Invoke {
"if [ -x /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator ]; then /usr/bin/stat -c %Y /usr/share/applications /usr/share/applications/antix 2>/dev/null > /tmp/dpkg-post-invoke-timestamp; /usr/bin/cmp -s /tmp/dpkg-pre-invoke-timestamp /tmp/dpkg-post-invoke-timestamp || su $(logname) /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator auto; fi";
};
};
I updated the config but kept the cooldown.

};
which seems to do it: runs mxfb-menu-generator only once and only if any desktop files have been installed or removed with both apt or nala.

Same thing happens when you select Restart Fluxbox (top icon). The icon bar remains even tho the desktop refreshes including conky closing and reopening.
It also seems that there's no time out value as the icon bar remains until ESC is pressed.

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
to
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

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

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

I managed to find a solution to these new errors. I combed through the updated asciidoc on the fluxbox git repository.
http://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox.git/tree ... e3ea5282ee
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*

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?

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.
