I like the view of dfm but the project seems to be dead (last update in 2001) and it hangs up with my IceWM, so I can't use it at all. Is there anything else like dfm (it should look very oldschool) that I can use with IceMW on the desktop area?
View 6 RepliesI installed Debian 5.04 with only "basic system", then xorg and the proprietary nvidia driver, then iceWM. ( I had to give up on KDE and Gnome because KDE was incredibly slow, and both of them had a heavy emphasis on visual decorations while I wanted minimalism. ) It was interesting and fun to get this far - and it all works.Now I need a file manager. This page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... e_managers has a chart. This enabled me to rule out the ones that don't have OSI-type licences (GPL or similar), and those which don't offer a "list view" of files.That still leaves 20+ choices. I've looked at some of the project sites but they don't give the information I'm looking for. I could install one after another, but I'm not sure whether apps can be removed without leaving a lot of debris like on Windows, and it may be quicker to ask.
My problem with file managers has been that they default to an "icon view". There's usually an option for a "detail view", but it has to be set over and over again, for every new window. I want one that can be configured to *always* give text-based file lists, without having to repeatedly set this option. (I don't mind command line usually, but having to type filenames and paths all the time gets tedious.)So my criteria are: * GPL or equivalent* Fast* Minimum "eye candy"* Can set it for text lists with details, just once and it "remembers"I've searched here and on Google but haven't found which ones (if any?) fit this description.
I have a Debian machine running IceWM. I want to set it up so when userA signs in they get a screen resolution of 1280x1024 and normal size icons and normal size cursors. Then I want it setup so if UserB signs in they get a screen resolution of 800x600 larger icons and larger mouse cursor icons. How can I customize the display settings per user with IceWM? I did not see where I can set these options in ~/.icewm/preferences.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an older laptop (P4 Compaq Presario 2110; 512mb RAM) on which I installed Lubuntu 10.10. I am using a Buffalo wireless G PCMCIA card (Broadcom 43xx chip set) on the LXDE side which works perfectly. Out of curiosity I installed 'icewm' and 'openbox.' My wireless card shows when I check lspci as "UP." Using wicd, I can see networks, but my router will not resolve an IP address. NetworkManager does nothing.
I have tried using both ifconfig and iwconfig commands with no love.
Is this something inherent with lighter WMs and desktops? Is there a means to allow my router assign an IP and why would it be different for a different WM? Should the IP address be assigned to the computer?
I normally use a very lightweight Linux setup. No desktop like Gnome or KDE, just Icewm as the windows manager and nothing else that normal users might consider essential. Well, I do need a file manager - I use Thunar.
Recently I've been trying Gnome. Whenever I shove a memory stick into a USB port, or connect my digital camera, it can automatically pop up a file manager showing all the goodies on that device. KDE does this too. I like this. Although quick at the command line, I like not having to go sudo to mount the device and all that.
If I want to stick with a lightweight setup using Icewm+Thunar, is there something non-huge I can install to make external devices fire up a Thunar window, or otherwise make access to the contents brainlessly easy?
I've got no background desktop image in IceWM.I've got Ubuntu 9.10 PowerPC installed. I did a bare-bones installation of Ubuntu, and installed the latest version of IceWM.To make this work properly, I edited /etc/X11/default-display-manager to have no code whatsoever, so I just manually boot up, and type "startx." To point startx to IceWM, I edited /etc/X11/Xsession to just say "exec icewm-session"
IceWM comes up, and does stuff that I need it to, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to configure a desktop background.
I 'installed' Fedora12 nine days ago. Everything went smoothly until I booted-up today when I got a message in the top right corner of the desktop saying "WARNING, A CRASH PACKAGE NAUTILUS - 2.28.1 - 2 FC12 HAS BEEN DETECTED."All my icons have disappeared from the desktop.In the tool bar I have a continuous row of moving identical icons for "Starting File Manager".

It happened that the file being moved wasn't at source neither destination folder.Is there a file copy program which works atomically (like teracopy in windows) .Yeah , common sense would be to manually copy then delete file from source . Can't this be integrated into GUI by a program?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set krusader as my default file manager. I have gone into System Settings > Default Applications > File Manager and changed Dolphin to Krusader.
When I plug in a flash card the Device Notifier pops up and I click on the device inserted. The choices I get are Digikam, Dolphin, and Do Nothing.
I click on "Dolphin" (hard coded it appears) and it looks like Krusader tries to start. I get the cursor with the bouncing krusader mini-icon and an entry in the panel, but then nothing happens. It all goes away and I'm left with a blank screen (wallpaper, actually).
I've chosen Krusader from the menu, so presumably the arguments to it are good. I have KDE 4.3.3 and krusader 2.0.0.

I need to suppress the TaskBar ... I have made numerous edits to preferences (including the obvious ShowTaskBar=0), they make No Difference Whatever
To eliminate confusion about paths, I made sure there is only one preferences file: /usr/share/icewm/preferences
To eliminate confusion about themes, I removed all themes directories
I gave it 6 months, "Plasma" is still as disappointing as it was on day 1 :-( , even more so on SuSE 11.3, but I love the KDE apps. Any suggestions on a lightweight window manager (XFCE or Icewm) Don't care about effects, I like dark and minimalistic where I can define colours, window size and placement, before I rototill this installation.
Plasma has too many irritating features that I cant turn off, just too much like Windoze
I logged out of KDE and started a new session in IceWM just to check it out. When I logged out of IceWM my system crashed and I had to restart. Now it logs in automatically to IceWM. If I log out of IceWM it crashes and I have to hard restart it. When I log out of IceWM it just shows a messed up nvidia logo.

I come from windows!!! For the life of me, I can't find the (Wine) install environment with the Thunar file manager. For some reason, after i installed wine it doesn't have a link that takes me to the C: drive that Thunar used to open so I could access what I installed thats only compatible with windows, such as World Of Warcraft. I'm bound and determined there has got to be another way to find it!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a server where i need to login twice. The first time i login as my boxname and pass. The 2nd login is 'root' so i can access the content of the box (i dont understand it but that hasnt stopped me from using it as normal).Now i like a GUI so i can browse files easier and drag and drop multiple files instead of using the command line. WinSCP doesnt work as it locks up. I suspect its because there is a prompt to log in again.
What can i use to drag & drop files?

I have been searching for what causes these error messages from icewm. The moment I log out of the icewm session I see the following errors:XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":1.0"after 154 requests (154 known processed) with 0 events remaining.icewmbg: Can't open display: :1. X must be running and $DISPLAY set.I see this with 1.3.6 and also 1.3.7. I see the errors in Slackware 12.2, 13.1, and 13.37; and both run level 3 and 4. The errors appear with the proprietary nvidia, s3virge, tdfx, and virtualbox drivers.With 1.3.6 I was seeing concurrent segfault errors in /var/log/messages from icewmtray, but not in 1.3.7.I don't notice any related errors in the Xorg log.I see these errors only with icewm.Browsing the web reveals other people see these error messages too. Some people blame icewmbg and others blame X. I have not noticed anything definitive as to the cause.

I can use the 'root terminal', but it would be much easier to use a GUI file manager--even drag 'n drop.How do I get the file manager to open up? I guessed one way to do this is to log in as 'Root' instead of user. But login won't allow an 'other' login when I try to use 'root' as a username. Is this the wrong approach? Dave
