Openbox/Fbpanel, How to set it all up.
I dont think so. Lupu has Openbox and Fbpanel already pre-installed. Access Openbox from your menu. I think it is Menu>desktop>switch window managers.HiDeHo wrote:in lupu 520 or 525 which are the 2 pups i am working with atm i am trying to sort out openbox adn fbpanel. the .pets found here are they needed for the pups i am working on.
You could install this .pet to get the deitable section added to your menu http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 411#533411
Good luck

Openbox and Fbpanel are being used in Lupu 520 and 525.HiDeHo wrote:in lupu 520 or 525 which are the 2 pups i am working with atm i am trying to sort out openbox adn fbpanel. the .pets found here are they needed for the pups i am working on.
menu->desktop->desktop settings->Fbpanel configuration
menu->desktop->desktop settings->Openbox Window Manager Config
Openbox is default window manager, but to make sure you are using it.
menu->desktop->desktop settings->WM Switcher
Make sure it is the one selected.
This is a great How TO! I'm a little unclear on how to persist changes that I make when the panel is refreshed by adding new .pet files and other things that might refresh it.
It seems that pfbpanel will recreate the original default config file and I'm not sure how to insist that it always use my hand edited (I am programatically creating an fbpanel config) version of the /root/.config/default .
Any help is appreciated and I should tell you I am running 5.2
Thanks,

Yes, I agree getting your config to be persistent is awkward. I guess you have created a config with some name other than default? myconfig or somesuch? This is the first step. You can do it by simply copying the default config and re-naming it if you wish.mrd wrote:This is a great How TO!

Next, you have to tell Puppy to load YOUR config file instead of the default one. Its quite simple, instructions for doing so are in the second post on the first page of this thread. It starts a little above the two code boxes.
The downside of this is that you cannot use the GUI configuration tool to change your custom config file as it only talks to 'default'
With regard to the default config, all changes made via the GUI will remain persistent. Quite why this is I have not yet figured
However, there is a small problem.... fixmenus loads the default config after being run, so anytime fixmenus gets used, you will get the default config back, and have to re-start X to swap it for your custom one. Hacking fixmenus will fix it, but is probably beyond the scope of this tutorial, and a bit risky. What I really need to do is figure out how to make changes to the default config remain persistent.

Can't beat them... join them...
I added some more launchbar options to the pfbpanel gui in Puppy 5.2.
Can't seem to find a working file extension that allows me to attach it here?

You can attach it as a .pet, but the forum has a size limitation on attachments. Maybe its too big?mrd wrote:I added some more launchbar options to the pfbpanel gui in Puppy 5.2.

When unpacked, script has to be set as 'executable' as this option is not set. Odd..................stu90 wrote:based on mrd's update - i have added some more plugins for testing.

Stu, the temp shows twice, presumably because I have a dual-core processor. Is it possible to force only a single instance?stu90 wrote:based on mrd's update - i have added some more plugins for testing.

System uptime not active. Terminal command also gives double read-out, however, this gives single readout:stu90 wrote:Hi DaveS,
I had a look in /sbin i don't have any pfbpanel in there on lucid 260?
Could you check to make sure system uptime is not active in the pfbpanel gui - also what happens when you put this command in the terminal, do you get a double readout?
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature
cheers.
Code: Select all
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature
Hacked that into script at line 1488 and it shows single display. Dont know if this would be true for all computers though.
Guess with regard to pfbpanel being in /sbin/ as well as /usr/sbin, must be something I did in relation to installing the previous upgrade from mrd.

Hi again DaveS,
Forget about my post above, it works in the terminal but for some reason not in the script.
Instead try:
awk 'NR==1 {print $2}' /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature
