Here it is Salix Openbox RC2 which fixes all bugs reported. Thanks to everyone tested the RC1 and especially gapan, who always wants the best. :-)
I have tested the 32bit RC2 iso in virtualbox and everything is working fine.


You can download all Salix Openbox 14.1RC2 iso images from the following links, using the Sourceforge servers.

Just installed RC2 and found that it don't create the xdg directory's (Pictures Documents Music and so on)
The reason is the command xdg-user-dir is wrong, it should be xdg-user-dirs-update

Another problem found.
Open -> Edit As Root don't work
Reason gksu is a symlink to gnsu and gnsu is not compatible with gksu's arguments (-D).
I created a patch that adds gnsu to Graphical SU: list in Preferences -> Advanced

I thought we had removed the "Edit as root" option...

"Root terminal" and "root window" are removed not "Edit as root"

SourceForge Links
Use different sort of links. See http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?p=35120#p35120.


Desktop Launchers
Use Desktop Launchers of Link Type in /Desktop directory. See realization below:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Salix Online
Comment=Open the Salix homepage
Type=Link
URL=http://salix.sourceforge.net
Icon=salix-web
Edit: In Salix Xfce, Desktop Launchers are of Link Type.


dbus-launch
Please add dbus-launch in Desktop Launchers in /xsessions directory, if you have not already. See http://docs.salixos.org/wiki/How_to_add ... e_gdm_menu. Doing so would be better than using

Code: Select all

dbus-launch caja --no-desktop
and having, for each execution, this command running

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 9 --session
.

xdg-open vs. geany
In .config/openbox/menu.xml, do not use geany /path/to/filename, use xdg-open /path/to/filename.


Re: @gapan http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?p=35125#p35125
First user has sudo privileges and require that user password to use sudo. Thank you to mimosa.
I expect to have Conky available in *box desktops.
Dialog of itweb-settings is too wide and gives a bad impression.


Re: @djemos http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?p=35128#p35128
SpaceFM looks bad, in my biased opinion. I prefer Caja or Thunar, instead, because they look better.

The "Lock Screen" menu item should better be under the separator, not above it. And "Exit" should not have a submenu. It should just launch wm-logout. There's no sense in having a submenu if there is only going to be a single item in there.
