Hi!
I read a rumor of a Salix Openbox Edition. Is it true?
If not is there a guide to follow to make Salix as Slackel Openbox?
Salix Openbox
Re: Salix Openbox
Code: Select all
slapt-get -i openbox
Re: Salix Openbox
I did that! The configuration is the hard part for me! Can I install Slackel Openbox and turn it into Salix Openbox? Is changing slapt-get sources enough?
Re: Salix Openbox
No, you can't do that, because Slackel has a more recent kernel and all its packages are built against that. Actually, you could do it, but it would be complex and fraught with the risk of breaking everything. Much simpler to configure Openbox for Salix. Or why not just use Slackel Openbox? It's basically just Salix with a more recent kernel and packages from the Slackware current repo.
Re: Salix Openbox
You could grab the file http://www.slackel.gr/repo/x86_64/curre ... ch-5dj.txz and work from there.
Re: Salix Openbox
Code: Select all
slapt-get --simulate --install-set openbox
Then procced to installation
Code: Select all
slapt-get --install-set openbox
Download from here
http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/ ... ch-2dj.txz
Be sure to install user-settings-openbox-14.0-noarch-2dj.txz
Code: Select all
slapt-get -i user-settings-openbox
copy /etc/skel/.config/ to /home/your-user folder
and /etc/skel/.local to /home/your-user folder
or the whole /etc/skel/*
Re: Salix Openbox
Making configuration is the fun part! You don't want other people doing that for you (there's gotta be a limit to how 'lazy' you can be). For customization ideas, you can see eg:

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
Re: Salix Openbox
Thanks guys!
Nowadays I tend to go with "if someone invented the wheel why do it again". And I mean this as a complement.
I still have a issue with lxde-applications.menu and /usr/bin/openboxmenu but I think this as to do with lxde.
GREAT FORUM!
