Debian :: Akregator Won't Autostart From Fluxbox In Xandros?
Dec 22, 2010
I am running Xandros on an asus netbook. I've been trying out the fluxbox window manager. I'm having trouble getting akregator to start after login. I've been able to edit my ~/.fluxbox/apps file and can get other programs to start up just fine. here is my apps file: I added konqueror and kcalc after akregator just to see if they worked.
Code: [startup] {powermonitor}
[startup] {akgregator}
[startup] {konqueror}
[startup] {kcalc}
[startup] {minimixer}
[startup] {networkmonitor ath0 eth0}
[group]
[app] (.*[tT]erm)
[end]
[app] (konqueror)
[end]

I have Linux Xandros Debian software on my Asus Eee PC, and for 3 years now I have been trying to buy a Colour Scanner that works. It does not have to be a stand alone Scanner, it can also be an All-in-One. I have been told the HP has the most chance. However I bought a HP Deskjet F2280, that the salesman guaranteed would scan with Linux, but it did not. And never has. Is there anybody who also has Linux Xandros Debian and HAS found a scanner that works?

I've been using Akregator as an RSS reader for years and never had a problem until this morning. It will fetch new feeds, in the "Feed" pane it will show that there are unread articles, but if you click on the feed, no unread articles show up in the article pane. I know there have been updates. Also, if I click on "All Feeds" (where there are supposed to be 461 articles) only 15 articles are actually displayed. I don't know what could have caused this. I tried nuking my akregatorrc and the .kde/share/apps/akregator/Archive directory, but it doesn't help. The only thing I changed yesterday was upgrading to the new Flash player. I'm guessing that's irrelevant.FWIW, this is in Slackware64 13.1 using KDE 4.4.3 and Akregator 1.6.3.

I have problem with Kontact since KDE 4.3.x (now I'm using 4.4.1). In earlier version (KDE 3) I had summary with calendar, holidays, notes and mail notifications in left column of summary and RSS (Akregator) channels in right column. I can't do the same thing with new Kontact - left column takes all summary window I don't have Akregator plugin in Summary configuration but Akregator is of course installed:

Debian 8, Fluxbox 1.3.5. I'll go to bed and my system is fine, in the morning I notice my system is sluggish. Changing focus between iceweasel and terminator takes > 10 seconds.
Top is telling me fluxbox is using 100% cpu. My system has 4 cores. Load average is 1.8. Next highest cpu user is iceweasel at 35%. iowait is 0. 4 gigs of free ram.
I'm guessing fluxbox shouldn't be using so many cycles. How do I collect enough information about what fluxbox is doing to file a bug report?
My end goal here is to have my system be responsive, ie, it shouldn't take > 10 seconds to change window focus.

I've been browsing the fluxbox documentation and the web looking for answers to a couple of fluxbox configuration questions. I'm unfamiliar with fluxbox and hopefully my empty search is my unfamiliarity with fluxbox terminology. I'm building a web browsing appliance (basically a kiosk). The only purpose of the system is to provide a web browser for house guests.
I had good success disabling most features in fluxbox, such as limiting keyboard hotkeys, stripping the main and window menus, deleting all but one workspace, etc.I have not found solutions for the following:
1. Disabling the workspace pop-up menu. This menu appears with either the left or right mouse button. As most people using this system will be familiar with the traditional desktop model and expect a "Start" menu, I would like to disable that workspace pop-up menu. I don't want users to have access to any configuration options anywhere.
2. Add an Exit/Logout button to the toolbar. The desktop menu has such an option. A toolbar button would be nice but is not required.
3. Same as the previous but add a web browser button to the toolbar. The desktop menu has such an option. A toolbar button would be nice but is not required.

I do this only for training in a test environment. System is Debian-Squeeze. After i figured out that i would need to run:
dh_make -f ../fluxbox.tar.gz
i ran into this problem when running dpkg-buildpackage:
#define X_DISPLAY_MISSING 1
configure: exit 1

I just installed Lenny base and added Fluxbox as wm. I can start Fluxbox from root with "startx" command but only get a light blue screen that is frozen if I try to start Fluxbox from the command line user ID using "startx." I think that it might be an ownership problem but I'm not sure what files I should change the owrnship of, if any. Some of the in installation of fluxbox was done from the root directory instead of from the user directory using the sudo command.

I have a headless server which I have recently clean-installed debian6 on. I want to install fluxbox (I connect remotely using No Machine). I had a similar setup with debian5 earlier but have lost the notes I made during the previous install.When I google minmal gui installs, there are different 'recipes' concerning which base packages for x are necessary e.g. xorg, x-window-system-core etc.Which packages for x should I choose (and why)?I don't use a display manager (gdm etc.), and the hardware is not so powerful (via en12000).

When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox-session My displays will turn off like there is no video output. I cannot switch to a TTY (or at least there is still no video when I try). I can however ssh into the machine. Alt+SysRq+K does not seem to kill the X session, but Alt+SysRq+B will reboot the machine.When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox and I manually run sh .config/openbox/autostart.sh everything seems to go smoothly. I really don't understand the discrepancy.
#!/bin/sh
sleep 3s;

I installed ntop and it works but I cant make it autostart with my server. I started ntop with its parameters and it works as a daemon but if I restart the server ntop wont load even if an ntop file is in /etc/init.d. I executed rcconf and it wont list ntop. How can I make it autostart in daemon with my parameters? (like ntop -d -w12345)

I've got everything installed so far that I need and everything is customized down to the boot splash and the mouse theme. I'm using fluxbox on the newest debian (5.0.3). But for some reason I just CANT change the default icons theme for gtk apps like thunar. I've installed the gnome icons theme and that one works fine.
I've tried editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine as well as ~/.gtkrc-2.0 by add the line gtk-icon-theme-name="theme" but it just doesn't work even after doing a restart. I've also tried putting the icons folder under /usr/share/icons as well as ~/.icons but still nothing...

On xfce I really liked orage, however on fluxbox I don't want to install all its dependencies (xfce4-gui, xfce4panel, +++) for just a calendar. So, I'm looking for a light calendar app that will allow me to store appointments. Ideally it would integrate nicely with fluxbox, so either launchable by clicking on the clock, or else mapped transparently onto the desktop just like conky. If it could work with conky that would be pretty ideal as well, and it must have the ability to send notifications (either by sound or screen) about upcoming appointments, reminders, etc.
I've seen xcalendar mentioned on these forums, but it doesn't seem to be in the repos anymore (squeeze). Also rainlender, though I don't like that it's not in the repos and has pro/free versions. Sunbird is an option, but kind of large and clunky for what I'll be using it for. Right now I'm thinking gdeskcal is my best bet, but I'm hoping others will have better ideas. If gdeskcal fails to impress, I may have no choice but to go with sunbird (aka iceowl) and perhaps use conky to display the calendar on the desktop, and make it launchable from clicking the clock on fluxbox. My mail application is claws, which has some limited vlcalendar functionality.

I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze.
I use Fluxbox as the window manager in X Window. I installed hibernate packages and gnome power management. I set the idle time at 30 minutes using the gnome power management program. It doesn't suspend at all. The monitor only shuts off during idle.
So, I logged in as root, started X. Without .xinitrc gnome desktop manager launched. As I clicked shutdown, it showed a dialog box asking hibernate / suspend / restart / etc. And then, I chose the [hibernate], the system shut down and came back to previous status when system restarted.
Which gnome program does control hibernate / suspend?
Is there anyway that I can control hibernate / suspend in command? I just need to make a little script and assign it to a launch key so that I can suspend the system when it's on idle.

I only just upgraded to Squeeze and am now running Fluxbox 1.1.1. The toolbar is acting strangely, though, and I can't seem to find a solution online.
An example: I open Iceweasel, Thunar, and Icedove. If Iceweasel has focus, its window title will be on the left side of the toolbar. If I switch applications, and put that Thunar window in focus, the Thunar window title because the most-left item on the toolbar. I focus Icedove, Icedove's window title becomes the most left object on the toolbar and so on.

I've tried creating .desktop entries in ~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart, the contents as follows
Code: Select all[Desktop Entry]
Name=SetResolution
Comment=Fix resolution in VMWare
Exec=/home/me/gnome-autoruns/set_1920x1080.sh
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
But it simply never runs, I am stuck with an incorrect resolution every time I login. (VMWare guest with virtual display does not detect 1920x1080)
The script is as follows, and works when run from the command line
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
echo Setting mode to 1920x1080 from ~/gnome-autoruns/set_1920x1080.sh
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual1 "1920x1080_60.00"
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00"
script is executable to all.

I may have posted this in the wrong section before. I had it in General Questions and wasn't getting any feedback there, so I'll try here. Okay, onto the problem...I've decided to give openbox a try with Debian testing. I set up my right-click menu exactly how I want it, and everything else is set up perfectly.I installed trayer and tint2, along with nitrogen. I added the following lines to my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file, but things aren't loading/restoring as they should. Tint2 and trayer don't load at all, and nitrogen isn't restoring my wallpaper. All I get is a black screen with my cursor, but the ability to right-click and open the menu, so it's not like X is dead. I did set the default wallpaper by issuing the command nitrogen /home/john/Pictures/Wallpapers, where "Wallpapers" contains all of my background images.
Here is my autostart.sh file:
# Autostart file for openbox
nitrogen --restore &

Xandros isn't keeping its repostorie Apps. updated. I tried Ubuntu 9.04 and it was good with only a minor change, (wireless was slow). Got a workround from Ubuntu forum. Login as root I was able to fix it, I updated to Ubuntu 10. Wireless was slow again. I tried logging on as root. Ubuntu 10. has lockout root and sudo won't let me add (iwconfig wlan rate 54M) to a boot up program to fix it. I went back to 9.04 now it wouldn't let me sign in as root. I next tried Debian Lenny. The screen res. was 1600 x 900? And for Dabian Lenny the screen res. is set automatically and can't be set manually, so I could not finish the install. So I'm back to Xandros 4.1 needing help to keep it up to date.

As an absolute novice I am finding it difficult to understand Linux. There seem to be FAR too many variables to get a grip on how thing work. Anyway, I am trying to find out how to create a "desktop" shortcut icon which will open fbreader for ebooks. I have tried searching for the answer but keep running into "gnome" "kde" "Ubuntu" "debian(which might be relevant)" etc. My AsusEee 701 4G Surf runs Xandros.

I'm using Xandros 4.2 Home Edition Premium in dual boot with WinXP. A faulty installation at Xandros Networks has cause the print service to stop, Adobe Acrobat Reader fails to launch, Open Office is completely gone from the apps menu and there are probably other apps gone haywire.
Xandros tech support rep told me that I should reinstall from scratch. I am wondering since I have Konserve backups of etc, home, and root directories from before these errors occurred, if I can just paste healthy files into the places where they are broken. But I don't know where to begin. I'm not too confident right now about reinstalling xandros from scratch. I WAS confident at Xandros Networks. Now, I have a broken package.
I had to start from scratch a few years ago because of a broken package. I attempted a restore of etc, home and root from Konserve, but the desktop became a mess, so I had to start again completely from scratch. I figure that I don't know exactly what I'm doing, thus I also have Windows which is made for people with slightly lower IQ. I want to be able to use those healthy backups, but I don't know how w/o making a mess.

I have tried several times to do an av scan with the ASUS provided software and each time it says "failed" NO av database found. I tried the "hold depressed the power button and press F9 several times and reboot to factory settings" Nada, zip -nothing. It does update the av definitions okay. Do I really need to download a good FREE av? If so, which one?
Do I need a firewall? Cox broadband is my ISP and the free Macaffee does not support my linux os!

I've used this approach to install Firefox 3.0.1 on my stock EEE PC, which has worked very well. I've since downloaded and installed version 3.6.12 for Linux, and I can start it up through the terminal with the command ~/firefox/firefox However, I can't start up 3.6.12 using the desktop icon; instead, it reverts back to version 3.0.1. How can I get the desktop icon to start 3.6.12?
