Debian :: Compiled Volwheel And Added "volwheel &" To Autostart.sh File In Openbox And It Would Not Start?
Jul 26, 2011
I just compiled volwheel and added "volwheel &" to my autostart.sh file in openbox and it would not start. I then ran it from my terminal and recieved this error message:
Can't locate Alsa.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/volwheel /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/bin/volwheel line 24.

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: Code: # Autostart file for openbox nitrogen --restore & sleep 2s && tint -c /home/john/.config/tint/.tintrc) & (sleep 2s && trayer --expand true --transparent true --alpha 255 --edge bottom --align right --expand true --SetDockType true --widthtype request --margin 130) & I do have proper content in the .tintrc file located in /home/john/.config/tint/tintrc. Am I doing something wrong here?

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;

absolutely positive, but I think the following is a bug in/etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh

I asked the question on LQ, but since activity related to Debian there is smaller, it is here.
I can't start Openbox, using xinit or startx. I have a warning when using xinit:
Code: Select all***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
This program is calling the Imlib call:
  imlib_context_free();
  With the parameter:
  context
  being NULL. Please fix your program.
I don't have dbus, display managers, X is started on tty3 because I reduced the number of ttys. In xinitrc there is
Code: Select allexec openbox-session
I see a cursor appearing for a second, but then the screen goes back to tty.
The problem is new; I'd been using Openbox for a couple of months back then, and it was fine.
System is Unstable.

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'm using Openbox, and I'm working on some scripts to automatically change several things at once (wallpaper, theme, idesk icons, wbar, etc), and I've started with a simple script for changing the wallpaper. I have three different scripts, each one connected to a different wallpaper. The scripts are in my /usr/bin file, so I just have to type the script name and it goes. Trouble is, I've tried assigning it to a keybinding in Openbox's rc.xml, and I can't seem to get them to work.
Here's one of them:
<keybind key="C-F10">
<action name="Execute">
<command>steampunk</command>
</action>
</keybind>
It's supposed to make it so I type ctrl+F10 to switch to a steampunk wallpaper I have. I can do the script from the command prompt, but I can't get the keybinding to work. Anybody know why? Will Openbox not allow for scripts to be in the rc.xml file?

I have switched to openbox from Gnome and would now like to stop using Metacity altogether. When I was using metacity I had both a control theme (e.g. gtk theme) and fonts set up how I liked them in gnome-appearance-proporties. When Openbox starts, it gets my window borders up properly (ofc.) but fails to render my fonts properly and uses the wrong gtk theme. I can't find anywhere to specify which gtk theme to use or what method to render my text with. After Openbox is finished doing it's thing, and I run gnome-apperance-properties manually, it will automatically set everything to it's proper value, but I don't want to have to do this as it takes several seconds to preform and I'd rather not have it jury rigged like this.

I just compiled mysql apache and php from source and I have apache to start up from boot but I don't exactly know how to get mysql to do the same.
Edit: Also how do I add mysql to path? Should I just symlink it to somewhere thats in the path or what? And if that is the case wheres the best place to symlink it too.

I managed to find an older version of the rt3572 driver to compile to get this dongle to work fine, and it did. After that I added "module rt3572sta" (or whatever it is, not on Ubuntu to check now) to the end of /etc/modules. However, when I boot up Ubuntu, most of the time the driver won't load. If I run 'modprobe rt3572sta' from the terminal, I get this message -

I've got an install of CentOS 5.3 in a VM which was installed without X or Gnome.I've added X (yum groupinstall 'X Window System') and Gnome (yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop Environment) and can now run startx no problem.However on boot I get a command line login rather than the graphical login screen one normally gets if Gnome is included at install time.What do I need to do to get the graphical login after boot?

Im writing my first bash script. Its function is to move files to the trash can and write a log file in the same format that the system does to allow for file restoration. The problem is that in bash, everything works fine, but in the OpenBox window session, the files are named after the source directory, not the original name. Heres the script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# trash - Script to move file or folder to the trash can and create a log file
##### Functions #####
err_output () # Writes error message {
echo "$0: cannot stat `$1': No such file or directory"
echo "USAGE: $0 SOURCE DEST"
exit 1 } >&2
write_log_numbered ()
# Writes log entry for numbered files {
echo "[Trash Info]" > $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info/${FILE}.$max.trashinfo
echo "Path="$PWD >> $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info/${FILE}.$max.trashinfo
echo "DeletionDate="`date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"` >> $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info/${FILE}.$max.trashinfo
}
write_log_unique () # Writes log entry for unique files {
echo "[Trash Info]" > $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info/${FILE}.trashinfo
echo "Path="$PWD >> $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info/${FILE}.trashinfo
echo "DeletionDate="`date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"` >> $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info/${FILE}.trashinfo
} make_paths () # Makes necessary folders {
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/Trash
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/Trash/files
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/Trash/info
}
##### Main #####
make_paths
SOURCE="$1"
DEST=$(dirname ~/.local/share/Trash/files/filename)
[ -e "$SOURCE" ] || err_output "$SOURCE"
[ -d "$DEST" ] || err_output "$DEST"
FILE="$(basename "$SOURCE")"
if [ -e "${DEST}/${FILE}" ]; then
max=0 DIR="$(pwd)" cd "$DEST"
shopt -s nullglob for backup in "${FILE}."; do
nr=${backup#${FILE}.}
if [[ "$nr" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
if (( nr>max )); then
max="$nr" fi
fi
done
cd "$DIR"
max=$(( max + 1 ))
write_log_numbered
mv -- "$SOURCE" "${DEST}/${FILE}.$max"
else
write_log_unique
mv -- "$SOURCE" "$DEST/${FILE}"
fi
So I run the script with the test file "Junk". In bash, it moves over and its named correctly.
Code:
~/.local/share/Trash/files$ ls
file file.1 Files Files.1 Junk
The log file is also named correctly
Code:
~/.local/share/Trash/info$ ls
file.1.trashinfo Files.1.trashinfo Files.trashinfo file.trashinfo Junk.trashinfo
But, when I go to view the trash can in the file manager in Openbox, the file is called "Testing" which is the name of the source directory. However, if I go to the trashcan via its full path (going to .local/, then share/) all the files are named correctly. Whats going on here? Is there some way to get the trash can to read the correct file name?

I installed openbox and obmenu with everything seeming to run smooth , but I managed to mess something up. When right clicking my screen I get an error stating that I am missing root-menu. I cannot open terminal while inside openbox. So while out I used apt-get purge on both applications , and reinstalled. The problem is still there and cannot right click or super+t for terminal. I've found other problems same as mine , but with being able to access the terminal while in.

I'm currently using the default Gnome desktop environment on my server when I connect via VNC, but I've been trying to Openbox on Crunchbang lately and I rather prefer it for being so light. I'm a relative noob and don't want to cock anything up - what's the simplest way to switch to the Openbox environment for when I connect via VNC, and once that's working, whats the safest way to remove Gnome?

Is it possible (without too much difficulty) to have an Openbox/Gnome desktop?
Since Gnome is a full desktop environment and Openbox is only a Window Manager.
Use the Gnome DE and have Openbox WM, instead of Metacity or Compiz? (with Ob Config & Menu included)
I know it won't be near as light as a straight Openbox, but it would add Ob convenience to Gnome DE. What do you think? Work-arounds?
On a small partition I have LinuxMintDebian 'testing' (Gnome) x64 ... can I 'add' Openbox? Not replacing anything except the WM?

Player-Stage uses .cc files. I know how to compile them. But how do I actually execute my code? There is an output file generated. There is nothing in the .cfg file or in the .world file that specifies what program to use to run the robot. Or is it not specified in the world or cfg files?
Then how to make the robot obey my compiled .cc file? If this question is silly or if I am asking stupid questions

I can't seem to get the options halt and reboot working in my openbox right-click menu. I've tried following the guide here from post #11, where the code he says to use in the /etc/sudoers file is:
%users john=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown -h now, /sbin/shutdown -r now
...but I can't seem to get it to work on my end. In obmenu, I have for halt, to run "sudo halt" and for reboot, "sudo reboot" but they only work after I've already entered my sudo password, such as when I work with terminal to edit a config file.

After doing a aptitude full-upgrade I no longer have the Debian menu showing in the Openbox menu. According to Obmenu, Debian is listed; it's just not showing when I right click. The upgrade brought a new version of Openbox so I assume that has something to do with it.

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)

We are running SLES 10.3, I am running Novell's support advisor and it is reporting some old hardware that is failing on bootup, one being a QLogic card and another being flex net network adapter. I was looking around for where the file or directory is that holds the list of modules to be loaded when compiling the kernel but SLES does not seem to match other Linux distro's, at least from the other posts I read for where to find these.

I installed debian with minimal packages (without an any X components). Later I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel , xserver-xorg-input-mouse, xserver-xorg-input-kbd ... and other X components through apt-get. Created a Xorg.conf file.
On execution of X, I see black screen without cursor. What are the other minimal packages that I need to install in order to run any window-manager like openbox.. ?
