Openbox approach - Need to find a complete GTK theme, daemons needed ?

Hello,
So friday, I tried to install Openbox on my second desktop, and it was an EPIC FAIL !
I've experimented a lot of issues..
1] I was unable to found a complete icontheme (who contains all icons that I need)
2] I was unable to found a complete GTK2 theme (needed by some apps)
3] When I tried to launch pidgin, emesene, and midori, I had bus errors...
And finnaly, can you telm me a complete list of daemons needed for openbox usage ?
Hal ? Dbus ? Gamin ?
Thanks

I don't use openbox, i use fluxbox, but i may have some solutions for you.
1) icon issue. I use this icon theme nuovext2. Install with 'yaourt -Ss nuovext2'
this is a kind of shiny icon theme, i happen to like it alot and haven't run into any issues with missing icons. This will get you going even if you don't like the theme.
2) I am not sure what problems you are refering to when you say complete gtk2 theme. Many complete gtk2 themes can be found on www.art.gnome.org. Perhaps what you are missing is the .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory. This will give you the control to choose which font, gtk theme, and icon theme. I'll post mine.
gtk-font-name = "sans 8"
gtk-theme-name = "Aurora-Blanco"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "nuovext2"
some older or no longer supported apps may still need gtk1. The syntax is exactly the same for this file which is named .gtkrc - so i just simlink it to my .gtkrc-2.0. You can control this globally by putting this is the /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file. Just make sure the theme and icon sets you want to use are installed in the /usr/share themes and icon directories. OK, i feel i am rambling now. next.
3) asking for a list of daemons required to run openbox is kind of an open ended question. It's more like what daemons are required for the apps you want to run while using openbox. I'll post the startup daemons i use for my fluxbox system.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal fam nfs-common netfs !network wicd avahi-daemon alsa sshd gpm)
syslog-ng is my choice for system logger
hal is hardware abstraction layer which i have a hunch also starts dbus because dbus is running on my system after boot.
fam ... i'm not sure what that is but it is required by nfs.
netfs mounts network shares in your fstab
network is disabled because i am using a laptop with wireless and wicd and find it unnecessary.
the rest of the stuff is optional, avahi-daemon is a network broadcast system which broadcasts and finds smb, afp, and othe types of shares.
alsa is my sound system
sshd is for remote login
gpm is mouse support for when you are not using X
Hope this helps.

GTK Themes

Do i need a desktop environment to apply them(gnome,kde,xfce,etc..) or can i use a standalone window manager (such as openbox)???

There are various GTK theme setting programs that are stand-alone from any DE or WM. gtk-theme-switch2, which is in the repositories, is one of them. You can also just edit your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file on which you can find information on how to setup via Google. Cheers.

How to force Eclipse so it will not use my gtk theme?

Hello,
I am using a very dark setup / gtk theme - anyone knows how I can force Eclipse so it will bypass my theme settings and use standard swing look and feel?
Best regards,
Mike.

I doubt you can get Eclipse to use a Swing look and Feel, but you can find a lighter GTK theme and do this:
$ GTK2_RC_FILES=/my/other/gtkrc eclipse

Key Mapping - where can I find a complete list?

Hi,
I would like to find a complete list of key mappings which maps all keys on the keyboard to JFN 's "Java Function Numbers". The fmrweb.res covers most keys, but not Escape, Insert, Delete, Pause/Break to name a few.
i.e.
JFN
35 : 0 : "End" : 76 : "Enter Query"
We are currently using these in our Forms 3.0 application through a vt220 terminal emulator and we are in the process of upgrading to 9i (I believe 6i has the same mapping file).
Cheers,
Tim.

After a painful process of opening a tar at metalink, given references to docs that I can't access/don't exist, then finally given the answer in hex (when Forms wants decimal), I now have the full list which I have converted to decimal for the next guy that hits my problem. phew...
Here it is: You'll need the decimal for the fmrweb.res file, not the hex (cut and past this into Excel/Word, it should be tab delimited)
e.g.
27 : 0 : "Escape" : 32 : "Exit"
19 : 0 : "Pause / Break" : 36 : "Commit"
Forms Function     Hex     Dec
CANCEL     3     3

Openbox Theme from GTK theme [beta]

Something like this surely exists, here is my version..
Creates an Openbox Theme from your chosen GTK Theme ... ..in 1), 2), 3)...
1) you need to launch your theme changing from a script like this (instead of calling your GTK switcher directly)
#!/bin/bash
# call your gtk theme switcher and as it quits create a matching openbox theme
# command for gtk theme switcher
lxappearance
# path to auto openbox theme generator script
~/bin/auto-openbox-theme
# launch obconf (so you can select the newly made theme)
obconf
exit
2) For that to work you also need this next script in ~/bin/auto-openbox-theme and made executable
#!/bin/bash
# Looks for the current GTK theme and automatically creates a matching Openbox theme
# The script fails on themes not following the Clearlooks convention..
# ..future improvements will account for this - for now the script politely fails on such themes.
# function used to see if script is generating empty results from GTK it can't handle yet
function emptycheck {
if [ -s $myfile ]
then
echo "$myfile has data."
else
echo "$myfile is empty."
xmessage "Sorry this gtk is not handled yet. You should not select the generated Openbox Theme this time."
exit
fi

Works fine here. Thanks for the script, it's quite handy and I got at last a nice OB theme witch fits with the murrina chrome gtk theme

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Finder cannot complete the operation... (Error code -36)

Hello,
I'm trying to share a file between my new iMac and my PowerBook via file sharing (Finder, Airport 802.11 n). Both computers are on 10.5.3. The iMac is a brand new one, so it's a fresh install. The PowerBook has a new harddrive and is a fresh install as well. Both are on the most current software.
Here's what happens: Both computers are visible in each respective Finder, but files can only be shared from the iMac towards the PowerBook, not vice versa. When trying to connect from the PowerBook to the iMac, it tries to connect but to no avail, then I receive an error message "Connection Failed".
Next thing I tried was to connect via Finder/Connect to Server and typing in the afp:// address (looked it up at System Preferences/Sharing/File Sharing). It again tries to connect, then I receive the error message: "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://192.xxx.x.xxx" could not be read or written (Error code -36)".
Now I'm puzzled and don't know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in.....

Hello everyone.
I burned about 10 TDK DVDr's about a month ago. I didn't get any errors while burning them and put them directly into cd cases to prevent them from getting scratches or marks. I just took them out to copy the files back to my Macbook. As soon as i start to drag and drop the files, the dvd player starts reading the files, copies some of them, and about 20 seconds in to the copy it powers down and displays the following message. This is true for all 10 of the dvds i burned. It copies to my hard drive for about half a minute...and then the drive powers down.
"Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in (NAME OF CD) could not be read or written (Error Code-36)."
Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd hate to think that all of the dvds are coasters now because i have data on them.

hi easeupjosh,
did you ever get help with your DVD-Rs?
I am having the same problem and was wondering if there's someway I can salvage the data on my DVDs?
thanks

Hi oneltwots, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)

External HD issue. Finder cannot complete the operation because some data..

Last night I had a drive throw the error "finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "<file>" could not be read or written. Error code-36". I thought it was a bad disk. Then tonight I plugged in a flash drive, formatted it on the machine and now I am getting the same error on that disk as well. Any thoughts???

Yes, you can have bad blocks or other physical damage on a usb drive, the same as a firewire, or eSATA. Just because you can reformat the drive, doesn't mean the drive is okay. You reformat, yet the problem recurs. That is a sign of a bad drive. If it were an OS issue then the reformat should fix it.
You might want to check the drives with a utility from Prosoft called DriveGenius It's the "Swiss Army Knife" of utilities, including the ability to repartition "on the fly" (A little scary for my tastes). But Prosoft is a trusted software manufacturer. Downloaded the trial (it has more bells & whistles than you can believe) But the trial will run all hardware tests without the repair feature, and give you a report.
Also, you can download and use Applejack for repair.

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive?

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive? I have a "somewhat" older version of iPhoto (5.0.4), and it doesn't seem to offer anything like that except during the importing phase of syncing my phone...

I wonder, is there room to transfer them to your phone, & then back to filter them?

So basically Apple is hiding which networks allow rentals vs. purchase until you buy an ATV2,
and then find out you can't watch "The Closer", "Men of a Certain Age", "In Plain Sight", etc., etc.
Or until you spend a bunch of time digging through iTunes show by show...

Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive. How do i fix this?

Hi,
Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive. I've tried several Terminal commands to kill/quit/relaunch it, but nothing seems to work. Once my Mac has been put to sleep there is nothing I can do to get it back after I have woken it up. I always have to restart my computer, and even then, I have to hold the power button to shut it down because it will never fully shut down from the restart. I have a feeling that Finder is still running in the background and not allowing the mac to shut down. I'd rather not have to reinstall my OS. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew, what all is connected USB wise?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Sleep/Wake problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
