Beginning with this thread, there will be scripts made available that will update users who have already installed VSIDO with the same updates
Attached is vsido_up.sh. Simply save it to your /home directory and then follow these steps
Logout and drop to tty1 (ctrl + alt + f1)
chmod +x vsido_up.sh
sudo sh vsido_up.sh
At the end it suggests you reboot, but this is not necessary..
ctrl + d to log out of tty1
ctrl + f7 to get back to the login screen
Login
Profit
This particular update installs the correct conky menu xml and several new themes to Fluxbox and changes the Fluxbox menu to the normal default Fluxbox menu layout (for vrkalak)
Very nice VastOne!
And I am curious. Does this only work with the Debian iso?
I ask because I am still using the last Siduction kernel iso. Which also means i do not have "your" FluxBox. But I do have latest FluxBox compiled from tarball. Which I'm guessing might not play well with your script. But I haven't tried it, so don't know.
Thank you!
Yes... It will work with your setup
It is copying files to your /home directory
It will correct the OB menu and add several new styles and correct the Fluxbox menu
Worked perfect for me....
VastOne said:
correct the OB menu
Does this mean it's going to change a users customized setup?
I don't see this as a good thing.
Yep worked fine for me too. Thanks!
Found a few issues though.
SpaceFM would not launch from the FluxBox menu, due to camel casing the program name.
In this menu stanza:
[submenu] (Accessories) {}
[exec] (Application Finder) {xfce4-appfinder}
[exec] (Medit) {launch medit}
[exec] (Geany) {launch geany} <>
[exec] (LXAppearance) {/usr/bin/lxappearance} <>
[exec] (nitrogen) {/usr/bin/nitrogen} <>
[exec] (Screenshot) {launch xfce4-screenshooter} <>
[exec] (SpaceFM) {launch SpaceFM} <>
[exec] (SpaceFM File Search) {spacefm --find-files %F} <>
[exec] (Terminal) {launch xfce4-terminal} <>
[exec] (Xarchiver) {xarchiver} <>
[exec] (Htop) {xfce4-terminal -x htop}
[end]
This line:
[exec] (SpaceFM) {launch SpaceFM} <>
should be:
[exec] (SpaceFM) {launch spacefm} <>
Also noticed that "Logout" did not work for me. Found that was due to my not having file "/usr/bin/vsido-exit-fb". I assume that is because I am running a Vsido release prior to the inclusion of FluxBox. Is there a way to pull that file without loading the new iso?
Even with these minor issues, a very nice script indeed. Love the FB themes! Most default FB themes make me want to claw my eyes. :'( But these are great. Vsido just plain ROCKS. Can't thank you enough for the distro VastOne. ;D
↑ what do you get with:
whereis vsido-exit
04 Mar 13 | 04:25:35 ~
$ whereis vsido-exit
vsido-exit: /usr/bin/vsido-exit /usr/bin/X11/vsido-exit
04 Mar 13 | 04:25:45 ~
It's been in every VSIDO ISO to the best of my knowledge, I'm not running the FluxBox version either.
Yes I have that one (actually both). And I temporarily modified the FluxBox menu to use that. That allowed shut down and reboot to work. But those both do not have code to logout of FluxBox. They only do logout of OpenBox. Lol. In looking at my previous post, I see that I stated "Exit" instead of "Logout". Sorry for the confusion. I will edit that post.
I updated and compiled the latest fluxbox and then ran the update script and had no issues except spacefm not opening for the same reason tlinsley stated. And that was easily fixed.
@ Sector11
Yes unfortunately it did kill my OB menu so if you have one that youve edited a lot you might wanna back up ~/.config/openbox/menu.xmlso you dont have to redo the whole thing. I didnt think of that before I updated so mine will be getting a make over ;D
Edit:
Ok heres a couple fixes for the logout issue
First thing is to edit the sudoers file
sudo geany /etc/sudoers
and add
%youruser ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown,/sbin/reboot
**Note your username will go where is says youruser
and then save the file
Option #1
Next we are going to create a simple reboot script
#!/bin/sh
#shutdown script
xmessage "What would you like to do?" -center -title "Fluxbox Exit" -default "Cancel" -buttons "Cancel":1,"Reboot":2,"Shutdown":3,"logout":4
case $? in
1)
echo "Exit";;
2)
sudo reboot;;
3)
sudo shutdown;;
4)
killall fluxbox;;
esac
and save it to /usr/bin/fluxbox_exit.sh
next we need to make that file executable with
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/fluxbox_exit.sh
Now we run
geany ~/.fluxbox/menu
and replace
[exec] (Exit) {/usr/bin/vsido-exit-fb} <>
with
[exec] (Exit) {/usr/bin/fluxbox_exit.sh} <>
and that will give you a pop up logout/exit/reboot window similar to openbox
(http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/screenshot-03042013-023147am.png) (http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-03042013-023147am.php)
Option #2
With the sudoers file edited we can just change
[separator]
[exec] (Exit) {/usr/bin/vsido-exit-fb} <>
[end]
to
[end]
[submenu] (Exit) {}
[exec] (Restart) {sudo shutdown -r now} <>
[exec] (Shutdown) {sudo shutdown -h now}<>
[exec] (Logout) {killall fluxbox} <>
[end]
Yeah my SpaceFM menu setting had to be changed as well. I had only tried it in the first menu and it worked there. Changing the "camel casing" as per Tinsley's post and all is perfect. My logout works as well...
Just another case of me not Being ALL and Seeing ALL
@ Sector11, like anything else, a backup should always be done before applying a patch. I can only worry about the default settings and the patch to the openbox menu does just that, it corrects the original menu
I completely forgot about vsido-exit-fb ... here it is. Save it to /usr/bin and make sure it is executable
/usr/bin/vsido-exit-fb

The spacefm has been corrected too
lwfitz, I like your logout setup .... I will look into replacing the current one with that
I do not understand the need to modify sudoers for it though... It adds a serious level of complexity to the shutdown and build by altering sudoers.. Perhaps it would be easier to add to groups
Thanks everyone for testing and pointing out these issues
VastOne, just checked and my Fluxbox already has the vsido-exit-fb in /usr/bin.

Thanks! Which one do you like? The script or the second option?
The issue is that you have to make your user/group able to run a root command without needing a password. Im working on getting this going without editing sudoers. Ill keep you updated
Edit:
Ive been playing with this for quit a while today and I cant seem to find any way to do it without the user being added to sudoers. Im gonna dig into the script that you have and see what I can come up with from that.
Here is a modified vsido-exit which should work on both FluxBox and OpenBox (and possibly other wm's, I don't have others installed with which to test). Nothing fancy, just issues "killall" for whatever wm that wmctrl say is running.

Very nice tlinsley! Ill be testing that out in just a bit
Thank you tlinsley, that script is now the default vsido-ext script that does work for both OpenBox and FluxBox..
I appreciate it!
Aw shucks, I'm honored you find it useful. :)
I am honored to have members who take the time to contribute to the distro and the community
Thank you!
Yep, it worked perfect tlinsley. Great job!
