openbox 003-DE module for 3.2.x 64bit

[ncmprhnsbl]

I've installed by getting a txz

maybe missing some deps >> i notice if i try installing via usm quite a lot of deps are pulled, like exo,python,xfcelibs(sic) etc...

not having any problem running removepkg or installpkg here built latest version(5) http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 812#p50812 using them in openbox...

@ncmprhnsbl:
Is it compatible with porteus 3.2.1 version? Definitely OB (openbox) porteus is the most performing desktop on my old Dell optiplex 746 desktop.

Have you tried the printing module with your OB desktop?

Thanks for this new version of OB.

Printing under OB:
Download blaze's printing module viewtopic.php?f=53&t=6232

To get blaze printing module running:
1.0 a few modification needed:
1.1 Pointing cups to http://localhost:631/admin for cups to load into webbrowser appropriately.
1.2 Get the cups server running at bootup:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

1.3It would be great that print settings appears into the OB menu. I am too rusted to provide the solution. Under preferences print settings is under the nomination of system-config-printer which is even better.
2.0 Adding missing packages:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: I don't know if this post should be here or in the printing module section. It is up to you to judge.

Is it compatible with porteus 3.2.1 version?

havnt tried yet.. it should work.. but will rebuild off 3.2.1 xfce
i suspect that obconf will be broken by the new openbox in xorg..

Have you tried the printing module with your OB desktop?

no... i'm a nonprinter
you seem to be onto it

It would be great that print settings appears into the OB menu

if "print settings" has a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, it should show in the "applications" menu section..

Note: I don't know if this post should be here or in the printing module section. It is up to you to judge.

i think its the apropriate place..
so.. did that get it working?
not sure usm handles python deps fully...but i know pygtk needs python for example...

[francois]

Printing works perfectly on openbox with the few fixes I have proposed.

Corrected my previous post:
Under preferences print settings is under the nomination of system-config-printer which is exactly what it is.

Thanks.

excellent

Is it compatible with porteus 3.2.1 version?

i have tested with 3.2.1 and found no problems, so i'll leave it as is for now..

Hi @ncmprhnsbl,

I'm not able to download your module from box.
Is there a way to upload the file on another place?
Thanks!

On a Windows machine I did not manage to download the file on box.
I tried with my Android smartphone and it worked! Strange...!
Thank you, I will try your module as soon as possible.

With openbox on porteus you are going to replace crunchbang!

not really, since crunchbang was debian + openbox

Wasn't CrunchBang discontinued some years ago?.

opensource is a bit like the hydra > cut off one head and two grow back.... ie Bunsenlabs, Crunchbang++, Crunchbang-Monara...
(and any number of other nondebian openbox based distros/spins..)

Something that concerns me about Porteus with only having 2 Devs.

that's one, actually, since porteus-kiosk is a separate entity...
all the more reason to be kind and supportive of our benefactor

Hi,

I used openbox for awhile:

tint2rc: panel // tint2conf
obmenu // obconfig // lxappearance

autostart:
.config/openbox/autostart

Dynamic menus:

General stuff:

xfce4 it's easier to run.
