Everything is ok : i was not on jwm but the lxde with openbox and lxpanel. On jwm it works !
But i lost the functionnality to browse the network in PcmanFm and it is what i'm looking for. I think it works with some parts of lxde that are not present when i'm on fb-box. I don't really understand because all the packages are still here : maybe some services to start : i hope.

Hi Philippe,

The WM-Switcher utility in FbBox mediates switching between the FbBox desktop environment and the standard JWM desktop. Switching to other desktop environments is not supported.

FbBox supports most Woof-based Puppies but is not designed for integration with custom derivatives such as LxPup.

If I understand correctly, Lxpup uses gvfs as a userspace virtual filesystem and gvfs-backend enables browsing network shares in PcmanFm. Standard Puppy and FbBox do not employ gvfs.

I hope this helps. :)

Hi pp4mnklinux,

I may be wrong --a not infrequent condition-- but my understanding is that FbBox is Openbox with FbPanel. If so, hot-keys would be under the control of openbox. See this post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 018#769018. This might be a good place to start finding out about how to customize them, http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings.

By the way, to view the contents of the link you provided in your last post requires a log in. Either you didn't configure it properly --I don't have to login to access Mike Walsh's google-drive for the applications he publishes-- or google has become even more intrusive. It's probably impossible to entirely prevent google from becoming "The Great Know All". But I choose to slow its conquest down by maintaining a free account at Mediafire.

Previously used palemoon. I'm using different puppy now (upupbb 18.05), just re-tried with slimjet. It's OK now, I can see image. I also re-tried with palemoon in this puppy and it's OK also. So must have been rendering issue from earlier puppy.

I'm currently using FbBox with Stretcgh 7.5 rc 3 on Dell Latitude 3350 Laptop. The keybinding for the Delete Key (Key Code 107, Hex 6b) was set to execute PupScan. I changed the keybinding in /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml to use the Prt Scr Key (Key Code 111, Hex 6f) to execute PupScan. The keycodes were determined using xev.

I am unable to find how to set the Delete Key, to Delete. Any assistance greatly appreciated. When I check the Delete Key using xev, it now currently shows Print.


Edit: to check this occurrence out, I did a clean boot using pfix=ram. The Delete and PrtScr keys function correctly. So the current functioning appears to be a corruption that has occurred in my system over time.

FbBox working fine with xenial 64 xxl

#147 Post by pp4mnklinux »

Fantastic presentation... but only one need:

There is an info icon at the task bar, where appears info about HOTKEYS.

How can I modify them? ( I want to use an specific key to start my default browser ..instead winkey+B)

Where is the file I must modify?

THANKS A LOT

Hi pp4mnklinux,

The hotkey text file is here:

/usr/local/FbBox/hotkeys-fbbox

---

The hotkey functions are set here:

/root/.config/openbox/rc.xml

---

The keybindings to run applications start on line 348 of /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml

Currently, the hotkey (W-b) for launching the defaultbrowser is set on line 411 as follows:

Code: Select all

  <keybind key="W-b"><action name="Execute"><command>defaultbrowser</command></action></keybind>
Be careful you do not choose a key combination that is already used for another hotkey (current keybindings start on line 195 of /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml).

After modifying the hotkey, you can select the "Reload openbox" option from the desktop Right-click menu, or simply restart X.

Good luck! :)

Runs under BionicPup64

#150 Post by mikeslr »

The original post identifying on which Puppies FbBox-5.0 64-bit could function predates the publication of BionicPup64. This post is merely to advice that it appears to function well under that Puppy. See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 08#1039008
