FluxBox
Sky, I'm trying out Fluxbox. Editing the menu is easy enough, but something is escaping me about placing backgrounds. The FluxBox homepage directions are not clear to me. I'm trying to do what it says, but I'm doing something wrong. I'm sure you edit your desktop from the terminal, but have you tried FluxConf? I can't get it to install. It heeps telling me that fluxbox has to be installed first, which I've already done! Any ideas?
Why don't u simply use
Or, iirc, there was a tool called bsetbg or something similar... Though i don't have it anymore.
I have never tried using fluxconf. U should have a look at the configure script (i guess u are hanging at configure) and find out why it tells u that there is no fluxbox. I guess it is not in the location configure expects it to be.
Code: Select all

701 file=fopen(initpath,"r");
702 if(file==NULL) {
703 g_print(_("Can't open %s\n"), initpath);
704 g_print(_("Make sure you installed fluxbox with this user.\n"));
705 exit(1);
706 }
So try
Code: Select all
touch ~/.fluxbox/init

I had installed Fluxbox with the tarball and FluxConf with an RPM. I found the newest Fluxbox rpm, installed it, and now FfluxConf sees the installation. Moreover, the RPM automatically added Fluxbox to gdm. This FluxConf isn't much. It's just a GUI for configuring the easy things that you can do by editing. I Still haven't figured out about the background though..
