 Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2002 7:11 pm Post subject: Fluxboxmenu> what's the correct string for "run comm |
 |
|
Probably a major newbie-question, but i want to edit the fluxbox menu in such a way that there's an option "run command" like in gnome or kde.
It'd give me a commandlinebox to punch in the command and execute the program that I need without the use of an exterm. Anyone got an idea?
And is there already a way to automaticly update the menu-file with each emerge? |

Strangely, it doesn't work with me. When I do a "bbrun" command in an xterm, it just seems to do nothing at all. Creating a bbrun-button in the menu of fluxbox and clicking it does nothing also.
What have I done wrong? |

then there will appear in one of the corners of your screen a button with the kde logo, press it and a window will appear where you can type your command |

i run a script after starting x to mount nfs volumes, start gkrellm, start bbrun, start kmerlin and set my bg
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
echo "Setting Background"
bsetbg -f /root/.fluxbox/Sectour9point1.jpg
echo "[OK]"
echo "Mounting NFS Filesytems @ Talt0s.kotnet.org"
mount 10.10.10.1:/ /mnt/talt0s
mount 10.10.10.1:/glftpd/site /mnt/talt0s/glftpd/site
mount 10.10.10.1:/glftpd/site/storage /mnt/talt0s/glftpd/site/storage
echo "[OK]"
echo "Starting gkrellm"
gkrellm -w &
echo "[OK]"
echo "Starting Kmerlin"
/usr/kde/3/bin/kmerlin
echo "[OK]"
echo "Starting bbrun"
bbrun &
echo "[OK]"

Did you check out the FAQ at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net ?
It's well documented. |

Is there a non-KDE alternative to bbrun? Yes I understand you don't need to run KDE to use bbrun, I just prefer to not use KDE utilities.

if you start a program that can dock in the slit with the -w option it will apear in the slit
give it a try
emerge gkrellm
gkrellm -w &
as you can find in the faq on the fluxbox site... |

If anyone else is interested, I found usr/portage/x11-misc/grun. After emerge, it spat out this: | Code: |
####################################################################
# #
# It is recommended to bind grun to a keychain. Fluxbox users can #
# do this by appending e.g. the following line to ~/.fluxbox/keys: #
# #
# Mod4 r :ExecCommand grun #
# #
# Then reconfigure Fluxbox (using the menu) and hit <WinKey>-<r> #
# #
# The default system-wide definition file for associating file #
# extensions with applications is /usr/share/grun/gassoc, the #
# default system-wide definition file for recognized console #
# applications is /usr/share/grun/consfile. They can be overridden #
# on a per user basis by ~/.gassoc and ~/.consfile respectively. #
# #
# To change the default terminal application grun uses, adjust the #
# TERM environment variable accordingly and remerge grun, e.g. #
# #
# export TERM=Eterm && emerge grun #
# #
# Have fun! #
# #
#################################################################### |
I didn't bother with any of that, and it seems to work just fine. "Running" grun brings up a small popup window
that lets you enter a command. Afterwards, it closes automaticaly, even if you enter an incorrect command.
Would be nice if it stayed open.

It says on the faq that running wmxmms -w will make it come up in the slit, but it didn't work.
oh well. |

Maybe you should try re-emerging fluxbox.
