Openbox session broken

[LKJ]

okay, beats me what happened but here is my openbox fully updated and working...


p.s. I prefer no icons in the menu.  

edit: I forgot to ask, how do I get rid of all the gnome stuff? can I just uninstall task-gnome?

You're joking - do you know what it took to put them in

Just no pleasing some folk!  Glad it's all OK though!

well they never match whatever icon set you might switch to. they use the default icon set always. plus it has to be faster not drawing the icons.

Well, I just updated LXDE 64bit. It pulled in the openbox2 package, as well as the 64bit version of libopenbox2. That upgrade went without a hitch.

Updated LXDE 32 bit. All was well until logout. After login, some things did not work in the LXDE Control Center (Configure Your LXDesktop). Wallpaper was missing, as well. Installed libopenbox2, then logged out and back in. Same deal. Right-clicking the desktop gave me the Openbox menu instead of the LXDE one. Rebooted. Everything went back to normal.

Will libopenbox2 be added as a 32 bit dependency?

Already done.

Hi,

This is my vm after I restored the former Openbox 3.5.0 packages. I am about to install Archie's Spacefm package.



LKJ, I have a question for you : I noticed you said some of your icon themes did not show in the right-click menus, could you give me more infos about that ? Maybe in a new thread somewhere ? I didn't notice this annoyance, but maybe I didn't look close enough, some icons would show and other not for instance... and maybe it could be improved.

Thanks !!

that's pretty much what happens. you get a mix of icons. some from the default set and some from whatever icon theme you happen to be using. it's not a big deal and certainly other DEs do the same thing. I just prefer no icons to a mix if possible. it's just a cosmetic issue for me. I don't think many people care really.

After installing libopenbox2 everything is back to normal
on Bonsai 2011 fully updated.

FYI.

The new config files...do they have to be installed manually ?
Will they be upgraded thru Synaptic eventually ?   Or are they
still being tested ?

THX.

Hi,

The new config files might be added to the repos at some time in the future. There is a new openbox-menu source tarball available on line since a few weeks, but the packaging team being reduced and the package request section still unavalaible, I prefer to wait before asking for a new package for each of them.

Also, I wonder how things will be setup with the future 64bits because the choice of the use of the authentication agent (now added in the autostart.sh in the files I uploaded) will need to be considered : lxpolkit or gnome-polkit agent ? I have noticed both not started the same way. One and the other : the configuration files don't bring changes so important that I would need to request a package immediatly. It's just small enhancements.

Get them, do a diff, see if some things in there can be useful to you : if you have spare time for it.

Mélodie

I see, should have posted this in the other thread.   On the 2012 iso
the new files were present, when updating the 2011 iso they did not
appear, of course.   Slightly confused but not now.

Thanks for your response.

Sorry to ask, but do we get OB back the way it was before the update?  You know, things like icons in menu?  Thankfully it was LXDE I was installing on a friend's computer when all of this went down, not OB.  Had a glitch but it passed.  Just asking.

Hi,

Didn't notice yesterday but my icons have disappeared too.   This is on OB full 2011.
Haven't had a chance to check the 2012 iso update yet today for icons.

Just FYI.

Icons are gone here too.  In Full, Bonsai and EDU versions after update.
