Also please answer my very first question: What happens when you reboot?

When rebooting my pc? what should happen, nothing special it just load like always, but you know my iconless desktop this time.

Sorry, language problem. I don't understand this sentence.

Well, this would never work since .desktop files are pure text files and you can't run them with bash, but are you saying that all your triangle ROX shortcuts contain links to /usr/share/applications/xxx.desktop files? This would mean that you created them manually because no decent installer would do that and that foxpup was - miraculously - right. But it makes no sense: When you open a ROX window and click on a /usr/share/applications/palemoon.desktop it is the same as if you would click on a ROX desktop icon that has "/usr/share/applications/palemoon.desktop" as its link address. Either both work or none works, both actions are controlled by ROX and ROX makes no difference.

Does any of your triangel shortcuts point to an address that is not a .desktop file?

Yes, almost every single one has a /usr/share/applications/xxx.desktop path.
I created them with PupMenuEdit tool.

But i just found that the console icon links to /usr/bin/urxvt, this because, most of default icons was erased by me from the desktop.

And once again: What happens when you reboot?

What do you mean? rebooting my pc? i gave you an answer to that, if it is not the pc what then?!

Don't worry you don't walk alone into the stupidness bro.

Are you saying that your "console icon" is not a triangle?

Please calm down. I already retracted my question while you were posting. I first didn't see you answer since you put it into an additional post on a new forum page.

lolo69 · #69 Post by **lolo69** » Thu 18 Jan 2018, 02:07

No, it IS a triangle but the path does not lead to a .desktop file.

It is the answer of this question:

Does any of your triangel shortcuts point to an address that is not a .desktop file?

MochiMoppel quick question: What is your profile picture? it is really cool.

OK, and what happens when you open a ROX window and drag the file /usr/bin/urxvt onto the desktop?

Well, it generates a Triangle called urxvt and when you click on it the terminal start.

Quick answer: My own creation invented many moons ago to impress my girlfriend. Only genuine when drawn with a felt pen within 3 seconds

Interesting. And what should it generate? Please open /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/globicons. There should be an entry (and only one!) for /usr/bin/urxvt. Mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

<rule match="/usr/bin/urxvt">
 <icon>/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/console48.png</icon>
</rule>

lolo69 · #74 Post by **lolo69** » Thu 18 Jan 2018, 02:47

Code: Select all

<rule match="/usr/bin/rxvt">
    <icon>/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/console48.png</icon>
  </rule>
  <rule match="/usr/bin/urxvt">
    <icon>/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/console48.png</icon>
  </rule>
  <rule match="/usr/bin/mrxvt">
    <icon>/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/console48.png</icon>
  </rule>

I got these three that are pretty similar.

Interesting. And what should it generate?

That's what i ask, what were you hoping for? when you drag anything onto the desktop it creates a shortcut.

You told me that it generates a triangle and I asked you what (icon) it should generate. I know that it creates a shortcut...

Your globicons file looks normal and as you can see the expected icon is /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/console48.png.
Now go to /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps and click on console48.png. Verify that this icon indeed shows a console and not a triangle.

If the icon is OK, rightclick the urxvt triangle icon on your desktop and go to File 'console' (name may be different) => Set Icon.
The field "Drop an icon file here" should show /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/console48.png. Does it? If not, what does it show? And what happens when you drag the file console48.png into the field?

I think you just need to do a clean fresh new install.

If you do a frugal install.
Anything that is added or changed is only stored in the save file or folder.

If the frugal install is on a Linux (ext 3, or 4) formatted location it can be a save folder.
This is the easiest save to use.

If you get everything setup and added to Tahrpup the way you want it.
Make a copy of the save.
Add bak. to the beginning of the name.
This keeps it from being used.
(To make it a working save remove the bak. from the name).

To recover from a bad nonworking condition.
All you have to do is replace the bad save with the good copy you made.

You can make a new copy of the save anytime you want to or you add something you want to always have.

menu>Utility>Pupsave Backup
That program will make a backup of the save anytime you run it.

You can have all the save backups you want or replace with a new one anytime you want.

I will respond with something entirely non-relevant:

This exchange began a little more than a day ago and has generated six pages of responses??? Wow... You would think that lolo had released BeaverPup 8.5, although "BeaverKit" might be more appropriate.

He also placed a message in the "Derivatives" section. Witness my entertaining retort there.
