Salix Forums

To get us somewhat started with gui system tools, II skimmed through zenwalk systemtools, removed zenpanel & only kept these tools which are working with very little or no changes:

clockconfig -> no change so far
userconfig -> added power to the added groups & fixed some missing icons.
keyboardconfig -> added French localization. I'll pass up the po file soon. In time, we can localize the other tools as well...
root terminal -> no change so far
localeconfig -> no change so far

Please test & feel free to experiment as well.

It seems that latest gdm (and xorg?) now uses hal to set up the keyboard & I had to use the following hack to have gdm finally recognize my French keyboard.

I will add this hal setting to keyboardconfig.

Also, thorsten modified clockconfig & root terminal. These modifications will be included in a new test package soon.

Last point... if we modify these tools (as we are) we should probably fork the name as well, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion (and we should also contact JP/Zenwalk to inform him about it, should he want to use some of our modifs).

There is a /usr/etc/ dir in the package, it should be just /etc.
Also, packageversion should be 1plb, not plb.
And /usr/doc/systemtools-$VERSION is empty.

Oh, and I just added Xdialog to our repo.

We could name this package "$ourdistroname-systemtools" (when we finally decide on something) Until then "systemtools" should be just fine.

In clockconfig: Please replace "--auto-placement" with "--screen-center".

I'm going to still be out of the picture for a few more days, so anyone (thorsten ?), please feel free to modify these tools, add to them, correct them & repackage them.

Please make sure that userconfig puts all users in following groups by default:
netdev, plugdev and power

ok

New version for testing & correction:
http://zenlive.linuxish.net/people/akun ... h-2plb.tgz
source is in the same directory.

Akuna has done a fantastic job with this!

And here's another one: http://pnboy.pinguix.com/gapan/salixtoo ... ch-1gv.txz


All sources are in the same dir: http://pnboy.pinguix.com/gapan/salixtools/

Mainly fixed a couple of things, created installation scripts. Also changed some strings, so some translations may be fuzzy now. Use poedit to easily fix them! (slapt-get -i poedit) All po and pot files are in the package under /usr/doc/salixtools-0.1/

I'm not really happy about the icons in the Xdialog windows, it seems Xdialog doesn't like png transparency...
