lxlauncher: What does it do, and how?(not really SOLVED)

[BJF]

Gentlepeople: This might need moving, but it is LXDE.

My long-suffering EeePC 701 4G netbook has been brought to a point approaching perfection for my needs with Forum help and has 2011.Latest fully updated on a 8Gb Class 6 SD as a full install. The one thing it won't do is Hibernate.
Previous versions of LXDE had an EeePC application in the repo's containing goodies for Eeep's to modify their behaviour. That said, an install of 2009 still residing on the SSD has the application but won't hibernate either.

Looking in the repo's this morning I found lxlauncher, and applied it to the 2011 SD install. But I can't find a pointer to it from PCC> or notice any change in the machine.
Can somebody please explain what lxlauncher does and how. The Hibernate problem can wait.

Thanks,
John.

Thanks Mr Bear. I'd just finished finding that link myself and was coming back to say.....

I'll hunt about in the Desktop bits of my install and see if it has anything I'd like.

Cheers.

(edit) Nope. Can't find any trace of it in / and no way to make it go.

Did you try it in the terminal to see if it runs at all?

If it does you could add a keyboard shortcut to make it run with any combination (like Alt + F2).

Go to ~/.openbox/ and open the file lxde-rc.xml with an editor of your choice (leafpad or any other).  Add the following lines to your <keyboard> section:

Code: [Select]


<keybind key="A-F2">
  <action name="Execute">
    <command>lxlauncher</command>
  </action>
</keybind>


That will start lxlauncher with the key combination Alt + F2 .

I have no LXDE here at work to test it - but that should do the trick.

Let us know how it went.
