wattOS R8 / Re: Recently used Files - Main Menu

I'm not too smart on openbox and if this is featured, however, if you're accessing your files in libreoffice, then that feature is built in.  Alternatively, you can utilize software such as launchy (which everyone should use anyway).

wattOS R8 / Re: How to keep display resolution
« on: July 23, 2014, 11:53:41 PM »
for my part, it was a typo!  The correct file is /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

I also provided a snap shot.

Alternatively, take a look at the below posting for a similar issue.

http://planetwatt.com/newforum/index.php?topic=126.0

I got away with it by making a simple xrandr script and making the window manager point to it. 

To do this.  Go to /etc/lightdm/

Make the resolution script
#sudo nano xrandrscript

#! /bin/sh
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050 --right-of LVDS


control X to exit and save

Then point the lightdm.conf to the script

#sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
edit the line that says display-setup and throw the script location there.

display-setup-script=/etc/lightdm/xrandrscript


I hope this helps...

wattOS R8 / Re: can't move to trash

okay, your mounts look good. 

This pushed me to look at PCMANFM and scrubbed the Internet and I found many, many, forums pointing to this issue in Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, etc...

So I suspected it was a bug and found this...

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588050

It looks to be the exact same issue you're running into.  There's a fix there, can you try it out and report back?

wattOS R8 / Re: Themes for Wattos R8

Not sure what you mean by Debian themes.  Do you mean Openbox, GTK, or icon themes perhaps?

This is starting to feel like permissions, can you mount your disk and then

Can you show the output of the following in rxvt...

1. cat /etc/fstab
2. mount

after going into a directory that you mounted can you go in a directory and type.
ls -la

This is to look at permissions.

On the first comment, my conclusion is that the disk is mounted via FAT or another file system and cannot cross into the trash bin which is ext.  Alternatively, if you're scared you're going to make a mistake and delete the wrong file, do a backup before hand so you can restore after any deletion errors, etc...

wattOS R8 / Re: More Information About WattOs and Some Ideas
« on: July 19, 2014, 08:06:09 AM »
Got it.  But I think that the out of the box experience is important for new users, what I'm suggesting means not having to dig in the .config/openbox/autostart for example (I added a line that says /home/username/Autostart/*)  I choose wiccd because I could not get my wifi interface to be detected/configured.

I think that we all had to switch to the testing repos in R8 if we needed to get specific things to work, like CUPS.  I'm not complaining, it's still rock solid and I like that it is built on Debian vs Ubuntu.

wattOS R8 / More Information About WattOs and Some Ideas
« on: July 16, 2014, 09:54:55 AM »
All,

I was looking for more information about WattOS.  Specifically, who develops it?  What was the inspiration? 

Also, if we could put a sticky "Wish-List" thread.  I have a few suggestions to make it better out of the box. 

Specifically,
Startup folder.
wiccd
Debian menu (by default)
CUPS install script which takes care of the permissions, etc
SAMBA install script same as above
A "hard" xrandr control utility (vs the GUI), I had issues out of the box w/ virtual screens and saving the resolution. 

I'm loving WattOS as a replacement for Precise Puppy, which I ran for a good year.

Thanks team!

I had some issues w/ setting up Cups heres my run down...

#sudo apt-get install cups
click yes. Deal with apt-get...
#sudo apt-get install –-fix missing cups
okay, it worked this time...
make sure cups is running
#ps wax  | grep cups
27323 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
27486 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed
28292 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep cups
okay! 
Go to the browser.
http://localhost:631/admin
click “add printer”
errors. Doh!
Permissions...

#cat /etc/group
okay so my user dukas needs to be in the lpadmin...
#sudo adduser dukas lpadmin

Try again.  Select your printer.  Mine is a local printer.
Click continue.
Click “share this printer” if you want
Click continue.
Find the path to the .ppd to load the print driver.
Set Default Options.
Send test page. Done!

wattOS R8 / Re: SOLVED! new to debian - login scripts
« on: July 08, 2014, 11:26:12 PM »
okay, done. 

Here what I did to make a "start up" Folder.

In your home directory make a folder called Autostart

Go to ~/.config/openbox/autostart

at the end add

/home/username/Autostart/*

don't forget to add an "&" on the command above it so it doesn't get stuck.

okay, I found it by accident.  Looking into openbox take a look at  ~.config/openbox/autostart for start scripts.  What took you guys so long?

wattOS R8 / SOLVED! new to debian - login scripts
« on: June 29, 2014, 11:45:25 PM »
Team,

I need to know where to put my GUI login scripts.  I thought it was ~.bashrc but that's not the case.

would I put them in lightdm.conf?  I'm just looking for the standard place.

Introductions / Re: Puppy Linux Convert
« on: June 28, 2014, 03:32:31 AM »
I agree, I had to work out some xrandr 'ism's but I got my displays to work.  Open box is very nice, I don't miss JWM, but I still love it.  I really dig what's going on here, the R8 needs a fix on the Wheezy vs Jessie identity crisis...
