thanks, crashman! I'm excited to try this out!

I like your idea to include slim, so this can be run off cheatcodes without any modifications to the standard porteus scripts.

Posted after 1 hour 28 minutes 43 seconds:
Holy shit, this thing is sexy! Nice work!

I converted it to xzm for 32-bit beta (d/l to desktop, mkdir tinydesk, lzm2dir tiny-desktop-i686-v1.0.lzm tinydesk, dir2xzm tinydesk tiny-desktop-i686-v1.0.xzm) and put it in my /modules folder. Works like a charm.

One minor distraction is using aterm with transparency over the top of the default background --some of the text gets hard to see. I wasn't able to easily find how to change wallpapers (but I think I'd rather turn down the transparency on aterm, b/c that wallpaper is so cool).

Simply awesome!
Good job crashman

It looks like you do have a modified /etc/rc.d/rc.4 script in there, which kept me from properly booting into kde/lxde with the tinydesk module in my /porteus/modules folder. had to move it to optional. Maybe we need an rc.4 that can handle all 3?

@ Ahau,

One minor distraction is using aterm with transparency over the top of the default background --some of the text gets hard to see

For quick change theme you can run aterm and put this line:

Code: Select all

feh --bg-scale /usr/share/wallpapers/138448-1.jpg

or edit /root/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file, uncomment first line and comment second line:

Code: Select all

#feh --bg-scale /usr/share/wallpapers/138448-1.jpg
feh --bg-scale /usr/share/themes/SlicknesS/Slickness.jpg

Code: Select all

feh --bg-scale /usr/share/wallpapers/138448-1.jpg
#feh --bg-scale /usr/share/themes/SlicknesS/Slickness.jpg

If you want disable transparency you must edit the /root/.Xdefaults file:

Code: Select all

aterm*transparent:true

Code: Select all

aterm*transparent:false

It looks like you do have a modified /etc/rc.d/rc.4 script in there, which kept me from properly booting into kde/lxde with the tinydesk module in my /porteus/modules folder. had to move it to optional. Maybe we need an rc.4 that can handle all 3?

Openbox is hard for run from rc.4 file, is not possible run with telinit~4 cheatcode parameter, when use slim login manager boot is normall.Look kde,lxde,xfce4 use special initialize script startkde,startlxde,startxfce4.Booting with slim is easy and logout to normall shell console not xterm emulator.

@ fanthom,
Thank you

Very sexy. Once this is polished can we offer it on the official repo please? The KDM/LXDM login screens offer an option to use openbox which at the moment are non functional. I could try to incorporate this desktop for one of those options.

The console transparency could probably be lowered a little.

[Hamza]

We can add it on the network installation?

Very nice, crashman! Again, a beautiful job!

How are you starting this up now? I see you don't have /etc/rc.d/rc.4 in your module anymore. Do you use autoexec=slim as a cheatcode, or do you login to text mode and then start slim?

I have to go to sleep, but I'll use this some more in the morning, and give it some more testing

Thanks!!

[crashman]

@ Ahau
Thank you

Do you use autoexec=slim as a cheatcode, or do you login to text mode and then start slim?

Yes i use autoexec=slim again, is usefull for me.

I set slim to autologin and 'tiny-desktop' login as root, but if who want login as guest user please edit /etc/slim.conf and replace 'autologin yes' to 'autologin no' save changes and please logout and run slim again if slim start press only F1 key for changes desktop to run.

Cheers

[Ahau]

If you wanted to run it in init 4, I think you could use this for /etc/rc.d/rc.4, and tiny-desktop, LXDE, and KDE could all live together:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh
#
# rc.4		This file is executed by init(8) when the system is being
#		initialized for run level 4 (XDM)
#
# Version:	@(#)/etc/rc.d/rc.4	2.00	02/17/93
#
# Author:	Fred N. van Kempen, <waltje@uwalt.nl.mugnet.org>
# At least 47% rewritten by:  Patrick J. Volkerding <volkerdi@slackware.com>
# Modified for Porteus by fanthom

# Tell the viewers what's going to happen...
echo "Starting up X11 session manager..."

if egrep -o "(^|[[:space:]])tiny([[:space:]]|\$)" /proc/cmdline >/dev/null; then
   exec /usr/bin/slim
   else

   if ! egrep -o "(^|[[:space:]])lxde([[:space:]]|\$)" /proc/cmdline >/dev/null; then
   if [ -x /usr/bin/kdm ]; then
   exec /usr/bin/kdm
   else
   exec /usr/sbin/lxdm
   fi
else
  exec /usr/sbin/lxdm
fi
fi

With this script, you would start tiny-desktop by adding the word "tiny" to the append line, instead of "autoexec=slim". of course, you could use any word you like, as long as it's not an existing porteus cheatcode. The only real benefit I've found from doing it this way so far is that I can still use ctrl+alt+F6 to force my way out of X and get to a command line.


When I keep the tiny-desktop module in my /porteus/modules folder, some of the settings from tiny-desktop to get applied to LXDE and KDE. The pulse-glass cursor shows up in LXDE, and I noticed something (part of the window theme, I think) from tiny-desktop showing up in firefox while running it in KDE.

One other item I've found is that the "logout" command in fbpanel does not do anything. I had this problem in Superfly, so I edited /root/.config/fbpanel/default to point the "logout" section of the menu plugin to have the action: killall openbox && telinit 3. This doesn't work in tiny-desktop for some reason, but 'killall openbox' will at least log the user out to slim. I'm sure there are more options (fixing the script that logout is pointed to, creating a custom script, or deleting the logout option from the menu), and I'm not sure what the best option is.

Again, very nice work!

@ Ahau

The pulse-glass cursor shows up in LXDE

I build first version of 'tiny-desktop' in slax-remix-v08 and work fine but in porteus v09 and v1 acts differently.

One other item I've found is that the "logout" command in fbpanel does not do anything

In my laptop work fine no have problem with logout command but i alweys use "fresh" cheatcode.

Need more experience

Thank you for a script !!!

Sorry , it was Ahau , the author of the question.
