Salix Fluxbox edition development has begun

[meanpt]

Kindly ignore the text posted before and reproduced below, as everything is now working fine with VirtualBox guest adtions.

"Guest additions compiled fine and without any warnings but, while the folder sharing works, the guest display auto-resize doesn't. Meaning: only the 800x600 screen resolution is available."

I'm downloading the iso at the moment... Tint2 is an awesome panel alternative to native fluxbox panel You may want to try it?

You might want to try to use a Conky Panel (two-liner or one-liner, depend on the size of your Fluxbox Panel) which can inherit the native Fluxbox Panel style (since it is using 'The Slit')

See: Salix OS • View topic - Getting "Conky Panel Type" displayed with Fluxbox

Thanks for this tip.

I just don't like fluxbox panel, it look a bit XX century, where tint2 is more XXI
To be honest I don't use panels. Simply don't need them.

This fluxbox edition is awesome! (htop -> 60 MB of RAM in VB, and 120 with youtube running )

I have 1 question, is it possible that developers could create a side iso also img image ?

Dear Salix OS Fluxbox edition developers

Please consider (very deeply) to make two default menu files inside the ~/.fluxbox directory

menu (default)

Code: Select all

# This is a simple menu with an 'include' entry to avoid from new Fluxbox users to erase their customized menu with commands: <command1> <command2> <etc.>
# 
[begin] (fluxbox) {} <>
	[include] (~/.fluxbox/my_menu) {} <>
[end]

Use a different message (the message above is only an example)

I'm using the 'other' Fluxbox menu from the my_menu file

Code: Select all

	[submenu] (fluxbox-menu) {etc/x11/fluxbox} <>
		[include] (/usr/share/fluxbox/menu) {} <>
	[end]

New GNU/Linux users who use Salix OS Fluxbox edition will get so mad if they'll accidentally erase their personal menu if they'll click twice on the "generate_menu for Fluxbox" bash script by Dung N. Lam & Han Boetes.

We know Tint2 , he's cute, but is not native for fluxbox. We can talk about Tint2 for the next release, but in this will not be included.
meanpt you can set the resolution in xorg.conf, if there is no need to create it.
Zachary I think a menu is enough.

[zAchAry]

Zachary I think a menu is enough.

1) Please backup your ~/.fluxbox directory
2) Enter the command:

Code: Select all

$ fluxbox-generate_menu

3) Enter once again (you'll loss all your original entries)

[Kerd]

Of course I know (I know well fluxbox and I know how work fluxbox-generate_menu), but I think user must be a backup before running fluxbox-generate_menu.

[zAchAry]

But what if the user is drunk, searching for new commands by pressing on the 'Tab' key and playing Russian roulette?

[Kerd]

zAchAry aren't our problem if the user launch commands at random, he can always make the menu by hand as we did.
klanger for now we create only a ISO image. As you have seen the other versions only have an ISO image.
