iphitus Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 file is "startup" as i referred to it in the FAQ to create one, just make one in a text editor, and on each line of the file add the command of what you want to have startup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiedra Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Here's an example of what your startup file should look like: #WallpaperEsetroot ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/sephiroth.jpg #Applications gkrellm -w & giftd & rox -l=Desktop & #gdesklets & xscreensaver & #Startup Music play ~/downloads/sounds/Dance\ Startup.mp3 I use a slightly different method to autostart programs, but the format is the same. Of course you substitute your own programs from what I have. If this is still not working for you, in the tips and tricks or faq's section, I wrote an alternative method to autostarting apps in Fluxbox you can check out.

kustom Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I can't seem to find a download for fluxbox-0.9.8-1mdk because I get the same error as teh sAbEr...I searched google and pretty much came up empty. Does anyone know where to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_sAbEr Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 i URPMI'ed mine. just go to the console and type (as the root user) "urpmi fluxbox", or you can do it from the Rpmdrake GUI if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kustom Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) hmmm, gave me this. rpm: no packages given for install Edited August 30, 2004 by kustom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 You can compile it from source. Download the tar from Flux's website and compile. You can also add some ftp sources to urpmi. You can then instal Flux using urpmi, but I don't believe it is the latest one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustom Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) yeah, i did that. i just got the same errors as the first guy... the ./configure seems to work fine, when i do make, and make install i get the following errors. >_> make[3]: *** [fluxbox.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/kustom/x/files/fluxbox-0.1.14/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kustom/x/files/fluxbox-0.1.14/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kustom/x/files/fluxbox-0.1.14' make: *** [all] Error 2 the RPM gives me errors also...see screenshot.

spiedra Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I can't see the error when you try to rpm. Can you copy and past the message when you try to rpm? The console in the screenshot is not big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustom Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Some packages requested cannot be installed.fluxbox-0.9.9-4mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libstdc++.so.6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) OK. Easiest way would be to add some ftp sources as described. That message means that it requires another piece of software (dependencies) in order to work. Once you have sources added, type as root from a console: urpmi fluxbox This command will download and install fluxbox with dependencies. Or, if you already downloaded the Flux rpm to a directory, then you can also cd over to the directory from a console and type the above command as root. I will add cooker as well as plf. This is exlpained in the faq's in great detail. It should work. If the above fails, then google for libstdc++.so.6 and install that rpm first, then Flux.
