Here's an example of what your startup file should look like:

#Wallpaper

Esetroot  ~/.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.

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?

kustom,

 

You can get the rpm my clicking here . I had some deps with the rpm so I got the src.rpm. remeber to install it by loggin into root and doing rpm -ivh

 

Hope this helps,

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

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.
