Salix Openbox 14.1RC1

And is there really no trash option in spacefm?

There is, if you install the corbeille-spacefm plugin

Thanks. So, since it is actually installed, the question becomes: why doesn't it work?

Also, more problems: some directories in /etc/skel are mode 700. Why? Is there a reason why they shouldn't be 755? I could understand it if it was some privacy settings in there, but it's just panel configuarion stuff or similar.

The way to use the trash is the following:
Select file to move to trash
Go to Plugins
Click on Trash and select Move to Trash

What i did on one computer was to reassign the default "Delete" to Shift+Delete and then assigned "Delete" to "Move to Trash", so when i select file(s) i only pressed Delete then the file is trashed

Wow. That is totally unintuitive. Honestly, I fail to see what the appeal behind spacefm is.

That is also how all file managers work and I had expected spacefm to do the same...

- Removed the fbpanel battery applet

Yes, but we'll need to replace this with something. I have uploaded batti to the repo, which seems to do the job. We need to include this and start it from autostart.sh.

- Add xdg-user-dir to autostart.sh ([ -x /usr/bin/xdg-user-dir ] && xdg-user-dir) &)

If you did it exactly as you write it here, then it's wrong. The last & should be outside the last parenthesis.

Also, in autostart.sh, dbus should be started before anything else, so it has to be moved to the top.

And is there really no trash option in spacefm?

This is the line in autostart which is fine.
([ -x /usr/bin/xdg-user-dir ] && xdg-user-dir) &
about dbus will be moved to the top.
there is a trash plugin in spacefm.

Spacefm works fine with samba shares in all cases.
Spacefm has been tested in slackel versions and it is working fine.

There is also pcmanfm.

Thanks. Fixed.

Trash is working fine here. If i press delete on a selected file then a window appears asking for confirmation to move the file to trash can.
Going to trash on spacefm i can delete or restore the file.

there is a upower-0.99.patch for batti. Look here and in the code of patch. It has to do with Suspend.
batti is running in autostart.sh with the line

Code: Select all

([ -x /usr/bin/batti ] && dbus-launch batti) &

an here it is the complete autostart.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# openbox startup-script:

# Applications you want to run with openbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
#
# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
([ -x /usr/bin/batti ] && dbus-launch batti) &
([ -x /usr/bin/xdg-user-dir ] && xdg-user-dir) &
(sleep 1 && [ -x /usr/bin/spacefm ] && spacefm --desktop) &
([ -x /usr/bin/volumeicon ] && volumeicon) &
(setxkbmap -query | grep "^layout:" | sed "s/^layout: *//" | grep -q "," && [ -x /usr/bin/fbxkb ] && fbxkb) &
(sleep 1 && [ -x /usr/bin/fbpanel ] && fbpanel) &

(sleep 1 && [ -x /usr/libexec/menu-cached ] && /usr/libexec/menu-cached) &
(sleep 1 && [ -x /usr/bin/parcellite ] && parcellite) &
(sleep 9 && [ -x /usr/bin/xscreensaver ] && xscreensaver -nosplash) &

Maybe but that's not what someone expects from trash functionality in a file manager, I think. I was expecting a trash can on the desktop, one where you could drag files into, then click on it to open. The way it works in spacefm is unusual to say the least...

there is a upower-0.99.patch for batti. Look here and in the code of patch. It has to do with Suspend.

Yes, but we do not have upower-0.99 in salix 14.1, we have upower-0.9.17. Is the patch still needed?

an here it is the complete autostart.sh

That looks OK I think.

spacefm do not have a trash desktop icon. This is the way it works.

I don't know. I took the patch from arch distro.
I installed your package without the patch and i don't see any difference. So it is OK.

I thought spacefm is abandoned.
