Hi Sheldon,

The patch contains some bug fixes, and hacked scripts.
It mainly has fixes for wbar, and hacked restartwm, wmreboot, and wmpoweroff scripts necessary for xfce4-panel.
So, in short..if you don't want to install the xfce4-panel to run with openbox, then you don't really need the patch.

Also I am uploading a Solidpup OBXF version.
OBXF is just short for "Openbox-xfce4panel". This is mainly to test the new desktop envrionment for bugs.
Along with the files needed to run xfce4-panel, I have only added Opera as an additional app, so far.
More apps will be added later on...

Please don't try to download the new OBXF pup yet... current upload time remaining is about 1hour from now.

Very sorry for the great pic, when I'll find how I must do to make good, I'll do

In fact, my problem was I have not the /etc/openbox_panel file.
So, I did a symlink /usr/bin/xfce4-panel in the /root/Startup directory (and remove the symlink wmbar in).

> I have just found a rather odd problem with Opera... .pet files downloaded as .gz files. Does anyone know the solution for this???

Yep. Simply rename them with a *.pet suffix when you save them. Will unpack and install stuff as usual.
Probably opera derives its suffix from the first few bytes of the file instead of the filename itself. (And indeed pet files do use the .gz compression.)

BFN.

Musher, thanks for the tip. It kinda makes sense since .pet files are just .gz files with the extension renamed.
This problem doesn't happen to me all the time in Opera. I've downloaded a lot of pets that have not been renamed to .gz files.
... strange indeed.

I have some bad news... bad news for me at least. I said in some previous post that Shinobar's getnvidia pet did not work for me.
So I finally got around to try and make the nvidia pet manually. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me either.
The nvidia-installer.log file says this:

Hi, how can I have it connect to wireless on bootup?

I'd put a script in /root/Startup if I knew what it should say, or in /etc/rc.d/rc.local?

I'd been using WEP, but this Dell Latitude D610 seems able to do WPA-2

Network Wizard lets me connect, but it doesn't connect on later boot,

Thanks,
Sheldon

sheldonisaac,

To be honest, I am using old-fashioned wired LAN connection. Although I do have a Wireless-N usb stick and an older model Wireless-G router, I don't really have a need for them with my desktop computer, so they just sit, stored-away in boxes.

But when I did try them for a little while, about 2 years back, I remember that I had to set up the wifi password and other settings with the Network Connection Wizard, but my settings were saved when I rebooted.

So, I don't know why it is not saving your settings...perhaps placing your questions somewhere in the "House Training" section of this forum will get you the answers you are looking for.

Also, the link to the new Nvidia pet (a few posts above) is now fixed.
