What is the current liquorix kernel version?

When I tried to install the nvidia drivers (from their site) for the 3.10.0 kernel (custom compile) on my debian testing desktop, it was a major fail. I didn't try to install with smxi. I ended up going with the 3.9.9 kernel and nvidia installed fine. It's an older nvidia card, 7-series.

Long story short, I'm thinking nvidia doesn't work too well with newer xorg or kernels.

Nice shot dizzie; is that i3-status bar or conky?

Been experimenting with Xfce sans window decorations. I like the aesthetic of it, but not really worth the hassle. The themerc for Xfce themes isn't as customizable as I had hoped, and the key binding control for window movement is lacking in Xfce (or maybe my Xfce setup/install is a little bit borked):

I ran the dist-upgrade on my HP i3 laptop, intel video, custom compiled 3.9.9 kernel.

No issues to date.

What are you trying to do? Are you replacing fluxbox's native panel, or just want to add a pager?

If you just want a pager app, there is netwmpager: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/netwmpager_howto

If you want a launcher there is wbar - https://code.google.com/p/wbar/
That is the default launcher in siduction, has animations like increased icon size and movement.

Adeskbar is another launcher - http://adeskbar.tuxfamily.org/

lxpanel is the only complete panel I know of that is probably still developed. The Xfce panel should have at least partial functionality in fluxbox, or you may still be able to use fluxbox as the window manager for xfce.

edit - The xfce panel appears to work just fine in fluxbox - I was thinking it lost a lot of funtionality. If you're just looking for a pager, you can create a panel that has the xfce pager as the only item.



edit 2 - the xfce logout dialog is what does not work, so you would need to exit from fluxbox.

Last version is 2010 so I would say it is no longer maintained. Looks like bmpanel2 isn't maintained either.

No problem.

I now use it for my lightdm background.

syndaemon

Came across this little app today. I'm sure some of you are on laptops, and one thing that drives me nuts it that the mouse cursor will move as your palm or heel of your hand gets a little too close while typing. This little app takes care of that. It can be run as a daemon so add -

syndaemon -d

to your ~/.fluxbox/startup - or whatever startup file you use.

The result is that the touchpad is disabled when the keyboard is in use. By default, the touchpad will become active 2 seconds after keyboard activity stops. That can be chnaged -

syndaemon -i 1.0 -d

will cause the touchpad to become active after 1 second. There are some other options detailed in the man page. Worked like a charm when I tested it with geany and thunderbird.

Just set up tint2 to display multiple desktops only; tinker with the padding and some basic math and tint2 will function as a pager and be scaled to your screen's aspect ratio. Kind of stylish. The main difference is that the tint2 icons will be aligned with the taskbar, they don't float in their relative positions like they do on an authentic pager.

edit - picture is worth 1000 characters:

They are pagers like the Xfce workspace switcher.

fbpager is no longer developed and is actually discouraged by the fluxbox devs on the website and wiki. I don't think bbpager or obpager (blackbox and openbox pagers) are being developed anymore either. There are some other pagers out there, but I never really cared for them from an aesthetic standpoint.

It's actually pretty easy to set up tint2 in pager only mode for fluxbox and get to match up with your fluxbox theme and transparency; doesn't use a lot of resources.

The Settings Editor of Xfce indicates that the key binding -

<Control><Shift><Alt>Right

is the binding to move_window_right_key.

I assume this means that the active window a bit to the right when this key binding is used, but I get no result (8C is entered in a terminal). Anyone else having this issue with Xfce?

Also, anyone have a key binding for incrementally moving the active window in Xfce?

So, something similar to this? :

Cool, I may have to give the liquorix version a try.

And this appears to be Post 100 for me; so back on topic:

How is that kernel running for you? I had some issues when I tried to compile my own - couldn't build some drivers against it - don't know if I hosed something, or there are some changes to the kernel I'll need to resolve (drivers for my internal SD card reader, and nvidia video card).

back on topic - added some bling:

Good question... a quick search shows no easy answers.  I would guess this would be resolved with some of your magic.

Nice Scrot and DE!

Then it must be karma that I came back with a clean shot showing the Temple of the Magician at Uxmal, Mexico 

Worth looking into.
