Nothing :) but which puppy are you using I might make a matching desktop theme to go with it.

I'm using your 4.21 no bling with Fluxbox.

Here's what I look at.

Thanks. You're right. Fluxbox just looks so clean and sleek. No cartoons, nothing like its rivals. Just a unique efficient machine. I came across another theme that I like a lot. Here it is.

CurseTheWeather. If you use it, just type

Code: Select all

ctw (zip code you want result for)
example

ctw 97477
Here is the link that led me to the package to compile.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/ctw/

But I included the .tar package if you just want to go straight to it.

a good filemanager for fluxbox=PCManFM

#144 Post by gawth_slacker »

That I don't know and may need someone like yourself to figure it out for us...rox is not the usual filemanager used with fluxbox, ya know?

Trapster: got any advice for us?

Any other fluxbox'ers?

...keep at it, brymway... 8)[/quote]

I have used PCManFM and it is a lightweight alternative FM that is much like thunar. The lightweight side of it might be a great alternative to rox and a compliment to fluxbox.

Nice job on 421, Steve :) - the dl link still works and the md5 is proper but it needed some fixing in p431 before the iso (case was ALLCAPS on all file names, nsg for a successful boot from liveCD :| ) was right, burned and ..

Do think about including a 2nd wm (for an alternative/recovery gui). It wasn't until I threw blackbox in that I could recover from a few minor messes since I'm ever a novice at cli ;) plus bb and fb can be quickly switched as wms.. Pmount was really inconsistent as a mounting utility (no biggie, throw a roxpin up and use the driveicons 8) ). By and large, a very nice fluxbox - thanx.

(addenda) For those used to messing with .xinitrc .. probably not a good idea to comment out the lines concerning kde (like I usually do) :lol: , that was fun after a while setting it up and... cool, htop works real good even w/o a wm.

PupFlux Lite is the only one that doesn't have jwm installed if I am correct? I am using 4.12 and it has jwm.

That is correct. That is part of what makes it "lite." 8)

**Edit: oops...forgot I removed it from 421 also. But that was a size issue as well. I hear you, 'f00 (thanks for the complement, by the way), but I was trying for a smaller size. Like I mentioned, it seems to get harder and harder to strip out jwm.

So, as Rupp pointed out, 412 DOES still have jwm in it.

Can anyone please direct me to the files these need to be extracted to?
I extracted the main folder to etc/xdg/menus but I know the files within still need to be in their correct paths.
This may not be what I need, I also downoaded fluxbox-menu-104.pup and fluxconf.pup Have dotpuphandler but it won't exec, all I can get is Xarchiver.
I've switched from openbox to fluxbox and now just trying to restore my puppy menu.

Thankyou, and yes I do too but my editing was not familiar with this. I'll read through for comprehension, comparison, and make a backup of original file. Thankyou :D

I might have missed it but my PupFlux won't shut down the normal way. It just sits there with a black screen. Could be my laptop but i don't know. My Puppy 4.2.1 works without a single hitch.

If I go to "restart" in the flux menu I can type "poweroff" and it shuts down. What can I do to fix it?

I am finding that 4.3.1 is having issues with some of my 'puters in that regard. I've found that typing from terminal "wmpoweroff" frequently will shut it down. In other words, I think it is the Puppy version that the more recent Pupflux is based on relative to the hard ware...

I'm open to suggestions from the masses on that one...

Nope, not just you, and not just Pupflux. For example, I got a P4 laptop from someone recently, ran the latest MacPup on it (based on 4.3.1) and it has the same issue: it will shut everything down, but not turn the computer totally off. :?
