Lew_Rockwell_Fan created ticket #2
Incorrect error handling running the Debian 11 version in Debian 12
-
This issue is the same in PClinuxOS, aka pclos, which is in the Mandrake family, so it is not specific to Ubuntu or even Debian family distros. I'm still using plain Openbox as a DE though so it could be OB specific. I'd really like to work around this or fix it. I tried using --theme & --gtkrc for the same end result but they didn't work either. Is this project still maintained?
-
Under v. 1.0.6 in openbox under pclos, I have no scroll bars. I don't recall missing them under a similar ubuntu, but maybe it just didn't seem important often. Vertical and horizontal scroll bars both would be very convenient. Have I missed a setting somewhere? Or is another solution indicated?

I should have mentioned that the extra tall window will not respond to the full-screen button on the title bar, nor to attempting to manually drag the top border down or the bottom border up, nor to wmctrl commands that should reduce the verticcal dimension. I can do other normal window manipulation, like dragging the whole window around, or changing the horizontal dimension, but it's determined to be tall. I found 2 workarounds: Using 2 yads: You could probably use 1 with panes the same way, and...

I found a workaround using 2 yads. You could probably use 1 with panes the same way, and that would be better, but I've never found any examples of useing panes and I lose another square centimeter of hair every time I try to figure it out. So here's the 2-yad method: Put the text in the first and the buttons and other sutff in the second, and use xdotool to close the first one when you close the second one. Play with geometry until you get the place as you want. This works because yad makes the...

I found a workaround. Use 2 yads. Put the text in the first and the buttons and other sutff in the second, and use xdotool to close the first one when you close the second one. Play with geometry until you get the place as you want. This works because yad makes the OK button a default that responds to the enter key. And it actually exploits the bug, pushing the buttons on the text yad underneath off screen so they aren't confusing and never even get seen. Like this: nohup yad --text='now is the time...

Works as it should for me in lxterminal in openbox in ubuntu 18.04 FWIW. I have both libgtk-3-0 version 3.22.30-1ubuntu4 and libgtk2.0-0 version 2.24.32-1ubuntu1 installed if that's relevant.

yad --text="The above leaves out the # sign and consequently does not work.\n If this is how we are supposed to do it, it needs to be in the man page. What is the corresponding trick for background?" /me suppresses inner smartass that posted the above for sake of clarity: A typo in the workaround in the preceding post by ananasik makes it fail. You need the # sign. And that post illustrates why explanations consisting of link are a bad idea. That's 404. Is there a similar workaround for --back? Under...

I have no trouble creating custom icons in 1.42. Edit, preferences, themes tab. There is a directory path/name in a box under the heading "Icon theme path". Go there. Step up to the parent directory and make a copy of the directory with the icon set you are using, giving it a new name. Create your icon. Then rename it to replace the one that is being used in the new icon set. Then change the icon theme path to the new one, and restart to make the change visible. I have done this sucessfully creating...

BTW, something a little more desctiptive than "normal font" and "text font" would not be a bad idea. They're all "text" by definition. I have no clue what the distinction is.
-
I kept trying different fonts in the prefs dialog & while most of them show in the prefs dialog as being reset, restarting xfe had no effect. But I kept trying. And finally found one that worked. So the problem is, either it shows a lot of fonts it shouldn't & when you set it to one of those it falls back to some horrible default of an ornate cursive OR that it should work with those fonts but some reason isn't. So, for anybody with this issue, the work around is KEEP TRYING MORE FONTS. Eventually...

I don't know what Nautilus and Caja are doing these days but do you mean put the total number of files recursive in the size column? Anything is possible, but I suspect that NOT doing that is one the big things that makes lighter file browsers lighter and faster. I just took a properties on a subdirectory in a data filesystem and it took 4 seconds to come up with a file count. There are 126 sibling subdirectories in the same directory. So, as a first order approximation, if they were all similar,...

I'm not reporting it as a bug, because I haven't been able to reproduce it. I had 2 instances of Spacefm open at the time, at least 1, I think both, as an ordinary user. I was testing a script that was supposed to be (and was, actually) creating files in one of the tabs of one of the Spacefm windows. When I fiinally caught on that the files were in fact being created, but that Spacefm just wasn't noticing, I tried: - Going up a directory, and back down - Shutting the window down and opening a new...

Best news I've heard in a while. Hope you've been enjoying yourself. IG. (slightly different nic because I can't find my old password)

Well, good news maybe? If I understood correctly this page: https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/tree/alpha unless somebody else used his credentials, IG posted code for the alpha branch of Spacefm less than 2 months ago.
