Openbox hangs [Solved]
I'm using Openbox but every time I "startx" it hangs and I can't do anything else. Does anyone know what's causing this? this is a fresh install.

did you edit the ~/user/xinitrc file as well
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
or
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session (e.g. for auto-mount drivers in Nautilus/Gnome)

Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 8.0 - mysterious one minute hangs - solved
Thought I'd drop a note about a problem we faced on a multi-processor Linux box (2x 2.4GHz HT P4, SCSI RAID-0 array).
Our program was frequently pausing for 1 minute at a time in the middle of operations, on the most innocuous queries (single-row inserts of new data, "select 1 from dual" (!), etc.). Symptom: after a burst of activity, some random query would just hang for exactly 1 minute, and then continue as if nothing had happened.
Clue: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2001-Oct/0023.html
Action on my part:
* Comment out the "mts_dispatchers" line in my init.ora and restart the DB. Problem solved.
Probable cause, according to the note above: the listener dies, and that would explain the one-minute delay (I guess until something gets restarted).Thought I'd drop a note about a problem we faced on a multi-processor Linux box (2x 2.4GHz HT P4, SCSI RAID-0 array).

Obm-xdg won't show anything in the Openbox menu [SOLVED]
I put the code:
<menu execute="obm-xdg" id="obm-xdg" label="xdg"/>
in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml just like it says to do universally. It does not show any menu. Every other menu item in the file works. I can edit them and they change. obmenu can see the entry. gnome-menus is installed. obm-xdg works from the command line. Why does this not show anything in the menu?
Last edited by skottish (2008-11-06 05:27:03)Make sure you add the menu id to the root-menu list at the bottom of menu.xml:
<menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3">
<separator label="Applications" />
<menu id="obm-xdg" />
<menu id="apps-accessories-menu"/>
<menu id="apps-editors-menu"/>

Probably a dum question, but I have been trying out openbox lately. But conky when it starts displays on top of everything. I am coming from fluxbox where it diplays properly on the bottom layer.
here is my autostart.sh and conkyrc

Last edited by semperfiguy (2008-01-05 14:52:55)Your problem is the Own_window_type option being 'override', I believe. Set that to 'desktop' and hopefully you'll be good to go. (if not, I can post my .conkyrc here, which works fine in openbox and you can copy the relevant parts of it out)

Setting wallpaper/bmpanel in openbox? [SOLVED]
I am on my first succesful HD install of Arch wirh Openbox right now and I have been documenting some of the things that are giving me issues. If you are curious about how I went about with my installation you can check this thread out:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=76315
One of the issues Im having is with themeing and autostart programs. I did a little research and found that in order to have, for instance, my bmpanel and desktop wallpaper start up with x I had to make an autostart.sh under my ~/.config/openbox/ and add this within:
# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART
# Programs to launch at startup
nitrogen /media/vault/Wallpapers/107320-Tranquility-1680.jpg &
xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &
# SCIM support (for typing non-english characters)
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
scim -d &
# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && bmpanel arch) &
So thats what I make it look like. I have nitrogen and bmpanel (with arch theme) installed and working correctly. The problem is that when i startx and the script runs, it just opens nitrogen with no images selectable. Also bmpanel does start with arch theme but it is not transparant like in the photo available where I downloaded it.
I do have composting available as I have my nvidia drivers installed and i checked that it is working in the terminal, but I am at a loss as to why they arent working correctly. I have checked the documentation for this and found it a little lacking? Anyone know where to go from here?

Don't know bmpanel (never liked it myself), but the
problem with nitrogen is that in order to set wallpaper from the
commandline you have to include a switch. Chose whichever of the
following best suits the image in question.
nitrogen --set-best
/media/vault/Wallpapers/107320-Tranquility-1680.jpg &
nitrogen --set-centered
/media/vault/Wallpapers/107320-Tranquility-1680.jpg &
nitrogen --set-scaled
/media/vault/Wallpapers/107320-Tranquility-1680.jpg &
nitrogen --set-tiled
/media/vault/Wallpapers/107320-Tranquility-1680.jpg &
Or, if you rely on nitrogen's GUI wallpaper interface, you can just
use the following:
nitrogen --restore &
This will set the desktop to the last image you selected via the GUI
interface.
Then if you want to get fancy, you can add a menu item to your openbox
menu to launch the nitrogen selector:
<item label="Wallpaper">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>nitrogen ~/wallpaper</execute>
</action>
</item>
Also never used bmpanel, so can't be of help there. Tint2 and pypanel
both have nice transparency. -
I have a cleanly installed Arch (x86) system on a Dell Vostro 1500
Intel 2.5 GHz Core 2
Braodcom Wireless (ndiswrapper)
4GB Ram
250 GB Western Digital HDD (sata)
nvidia 8400 GS 256 MB
1650x1080 Resolution
Built in UVC web cam
I seem to be having these completely random and odd system hangs.
It prevents me from using my computer for more than a few minutes at a time.
When it hangs, its usually what ever process im in gets stuck, i cant kill it completely all the time. Sometimes i can using top as root and sometimes i can using kill -kill but sometimes i cant at all and that is usually when the PPID is 1.
When I try to shutdown or reboot either from in gnome or one of the virtual consoles, it always says something about either the root or home partition unable to be unmounted, that they are still busy.
my partition layout is such:
sda1 NTFS Vista (I have to have it because of stupid itunes/iphone)
sda2 ext2 boot
sda3 xfs root
extended:
sda5 xfs home
sda6 swap swap
my ntfs partition is about 50GB and when i boot into vista i dont get the same hangs, so i don't think its a hard drive issue (but could be an partition issue)
boot partition is something like 300MB
root is something like 12 GB
Home is something like 70 gb
and swap is about 2gb
It does not matter whether or not im in gnome since if at log in screen, ill hit ctrl+alt+f1 and switch to a consol and do something as simple as like update the computer and ill cause it to hang sometimes (but not every time its too unpredictable)
When in gnome however, most applications refuse to launch and sometimes even close. The gnome-panel and some (like the system monitor) lock up but things like cpu freq scaling continues to work as does log out and the menu.
i have also had issues with the latest (-3) nvidia driver and can only get 1680x1050 resolution using the open source nv drivers (haven't had a chance to build from aur the beta drivers yet since there is an issue with the nvidia-utils-beta package) but i don't think this is causing it.
i used the western digital tool to do a hard drive scan, and it didn't find anything in the quick scan but it is still running the full scan.
I suspect it might be due to some package upgrade, i was running arch before the reformat and it was causing me to have the same issues.
i have kicked my personal Ubuntun (and derivatives) additional because of Arch's rolling release cycle so that's why i would rather put up with it for another week to figure this out!
Let me know if there is any log files i should post or anything that way i can get this fixed! And thanks in advanced (even to those of you who will probably only comment to make fun of vista, it still will keep my thread alive! )

K8n platinum NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS Hang *SOLVED*
amd 64 3500+
msi k8n plat SLI
NV 7800 gtx
2gb corsair xms3200 (2x512 1x 1024)
500W PSU
40GB IDE maxtor (windows install)
System hangs on the NVidia raid ide bios screen, doesnt matter if i disable raid or not, system just wont get past this screen. There is a flickering cursor as if the system is trying, but its got no further after 30 mins.
ideas please? any more info you need?
thanks,
DanQuote from: dandut on 23-July-05, 07:50:41
If i disable raid, i still get the NV IDE BIOS screen, it just shows a message other than 'detecting array' with a flashing cursor and does exacly the same thing. It just wont get to the next stage.
I havent tried flashing the bios yet as my floppy seems to be dead. Could that help? Im not entirely sure if its the raid screen causing the problem anyway, it could be whatever is supposed to happen next, that just isnt.
p.s. Clearing cmos didnt help.
[/quoteTry flipping the cable over on your floppy drive. -
I am using an unusual keyboard http://www.grandtec.com/products/video/vik.html#mini
Some of the keys are dead, among them the "Up Arrow/PgUp".
I am trying to bind these functions with
<keybind key="A-u">
<action name="Up"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-u">
<action name="PgUp"/>
</keybind>
in my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file
The reason for this post is, of course, that it doesn't work.
Does anyone know of the correct syntax for the "Up Arrow/PgUp" functions?
Last edited by haikuhacker (2011-10-31 18:27:38)You need to say what you want the given keystroke to do. For instance, in my rc.xml, I have the following lines:
<keybind key="C-Left">
<action name="GoToDesktop"><to>left</to><wrap>yes</wrap></action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-Right">
<action name="GoToDesktop"><to>right</to><wrap>yes</wrap></action>
</keybind>
This tells openbox that control-right arrow will move to the next higher workspace (i.e. 2 to 3) and control-left arrow will move to the next lower workspace.
For you to use the Up/Down PgUp keys etc. you would do
<keybind key="Up">
<action name="..">...</action>
</keybind>
The available actions can be found here.

GeForce FX 5900 XT, DirectX 8 & 9 games hang -- solved.
This was my original posting:
I have recently bought a MSI GeForce FX 5900 XT VTD128. To my surprise I have exprerienced numerous crashes in games that use DirectX 8 or better. The games pauses and I get a blue Windows XP (retail version - 5.1.2600 - , without Service Pack 1) crash screen that says the game was stopped to prevent any damage to Windows and some things I should check (wich I did) and in the technical part:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0xF7D83E2D, 0xBA2DC29C, 0x00000000)
*** nv4_mini.sys - Address F7D83E2D base at F7CD9000, DateStamp 3fb91de8
Those hexadecimal are not within the range of memory addresses the VGA card uses.
I get the error with Freedom Fighters, GTA Vice City, GTAIII, Crazy Taxi. The latter crashing much more than the former.
I tried ePSXe (the playstation emulator) using Pete's OpenGL 2 vga plugin, wich uses T&L and pixel shader and I had no problems.
Games that use OpenGL or DirectX 7 or less seem to work fine. This was checked with Quake III and Severance: Blade of Darkness.
DirectX 9.0b tests on DirectDraw and Direct3D found no problems, plus all the files are OK.
Afterwards a friend who works repairing PCs, recommended a clean install with the latest drivers for the motherboard as well as the lastest 53.03 vga drivers (MSI version). All this to no avail; I get the same message.
I've also tried vga drivers 52.16 and 53.06 (Beta), as well as disabling Fast Writes in the motherboard BIOS.
A web search only lead me to some driver pages. MSI have no troubleshooting help about the matter, at least that I could find, neither in the manual nor the website.
I have tried using my old NVidia Vanta again and GTAIII works perfect.
Both cards use IRQ 19 and don't share it.
I've noticed that DirectX acknowledges different files to both VGAs. Vanta's principal controller file is nv4.dll whereas 5900's nv4_disp.dll. The small VDD files are nv4.sys and nv4_mini.sys respectively.
Also nv4_disp.dll has no digital signature while all the others do.
Is there any diagnostic utility I could use to better pinpoint the problem I'm having?
Thanks for reading this far.
After this cry for help I didn't want to wait for a star to fall so I kept on doing homework. I delved deeper into the forums and found in the mobos forum a thread with a reply that said that bios 7.40 for K7N2 delta-ILSR solved an incompatibility issue with Geforce FX 5900 and another with a way to clean the remains of uninstalled drivers.
I was not up to flashing the bios yet so I tried the vga in two other different PCs.
The first one had Win98 with a mobo M810MR with DIMM RAM. It worked awfully. It crashed when double clicking an icon, didn't run many games and even didn't pass the DirectX tests. That with 4X.XX drivers (I don't quite remember the version). With 53.03 (MSI version) I wasn't as unstable but still had many problems.
Another PC entered into the scene. One with WinXP and Linux, as well as a KT2V PRo Dual with DDR RAM. In WinXP still couldn't run any games or 3dMark. It even rebooted it a couple of times, just out of the blue. In Linux it worked fine but didn't try any 3D games (didn't have any). It was detected as a Generic GeForce FX though.
Before sending my vga to another region of the country (something I wasn't very prone to do in the least, as I had to pay for sending and retreiving it) so the vendor could try it and replace it (if he found it faulty).
THE ALMIGHTY SOLUTION: for those too eager to stand my babbling this is what worked.
I flashed the bios up to version 7.60 and uninstalled the drivers and used Driver Cleaner. It works without any problems now. I tried it in my other 'test' brand new WinXP install without using Driver Cleaner and it seems that flashing the bios was enough. Although I would recommend using it.
Well, that's all. I thought it could be useful to have all this in one piece.
Thanks to all that cared.You guys didn't read the post fully SPAMMERS
He solved his problem by updating the BIOS to the latest version, he has the nVidia Chipset based motherboard and there was a known issue related to the FX series video cards. This is nForce specific.... period -
Hello, I'm relatively new to arch, and have set up openbox to my liking. I don't like the way obmenu configures my menu.xml, so I prefer to manually edit it. I was just wondering how I would create a submenu within one of my main menus? I assume it would have to be linked through the root menu. Here is the root menu portion of my menu.xml
My whole menu is here--http://pastebin.com/m22679cf0
<menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3">
<separator label="apps"/>
<item label="web">
<action name="Execute">

(Yes yes I know, that is a lot of extra fluff and a lot of extra browsers. I am testing them out and using a different one every day to see which one I like. So far Firefox is winning.)
Thank you for the response. I think I worded the question badly, though. What I want to know is how to make a submenu within one of my submenus? For example, you have a menu labeled "Internet." I wonder if it's possible to create a submenu in "Internet", for example, "Internet">>"Browsers"?
As an aside, chromium seems very promising as a linux browser. It has quite a few bugs to work out, but the speed is amazing. This coming from a firefox lover as well. Webkit is great. -
This might be of help to somebody.
Problem:
My Mail hanged while fetching the first message from the .Mac IMAP server.
Solution:
It turned out that there was some "left overs" in the system level SIMBL bundles (/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins) among them MailHelper.bundle . They where all from iAlert which I had "unistalled" a long time ago. I probably didn't use the install/uninstall application provided for iAlert, and thus the bundles was still there.
Lesson learned:
Bevare of bundles especially SIMBL bundles. At least know what you are doing. That's the lesson I learned from this!There's KTSUSS if you want, it's GTK-based too. Stands for 'keep the su simple, stupid'...

Using Other People's Openbox Settings [SOLVED]
So I looked around beforehand, and have been reading the openbox wiki over and over again, but I'm a bit stumped. Basically, I want to copy this guy's (http://dotshare.it/dots/956/) openbox settings. There is a download for the code, and the file is named "themerc." To me, it looked like .Xresources code, so I tried there first, but there was no affect on openbox, and so I tried again in the "rc.xml" I copied to create a user-specific openbox config.
Complete arch beginner, so sorry if that wasn't worded particularly well.
Last edited by scionix (2015-04-10 06:48:58)That's for the openbox theme. You need to place the themerc (and optionally xbm images for close, minimize etc.) in ~/.themes/<theme_name>/openbox-3/ directory.

Setting new GTK2 theme in openbox? [SOLVED]
I downloaded the theme pack from this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74915
post #23
I was able to get part of the theme working (menu color and window decoration) but the actual GTK2 theme is being difficult. I have installed lxappearance, gtk-chtheme, and switch 2 trying all of them but none seem to want to do anything with the .theme file. Is there a way to do this manually or am I going about it the wrong way?
Last edited by beatepix (2009-07-21 00:39:38)I use lxappearance. Copy the whole Simplicity folder to ~/.themes/, start lxappearance, and select it. It's that simple! (and there's step by step instructions in the readme file included with each of my desktops)

[SOLVED] Openbox - setting different dpi on external monitor
[SOLVED SUMMARY]
After the suggestion from Max, I've got two instances of openbox running on the different screens.
the xorg.conf I used for this is below.
then I used the following addition to ~/.xinitrc to start two instances and set the dpi of the laptop screen:
DISPLAY=:0.1
exec openbox &
DISPLAY=:0.0
exec xrandr --output eDP1 --dpi 192 &
exec openbox-session
[/SOLVED SUMMARY]
[ORIGINAL POST BELOW]
Hello,
I want to be able to set a different dpi for my laptop screen (macbook pro retina 13 inch late 2013 11,1 integrated graphics (not nvidia))
and my external monitor, as the laptop screen has a pixel density more than double that of the external monitor
if I start openbox using:
startx
then text on the laptop is too small, but everything on the monitor is ok. Conversely if I start openbox with
startx -- -dpi 144
then for the most part, things scale up nicely on the laptop, but everything on the monitor is too big.
So what I have tried to do is set the the dpi with xrandr:
xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --dpi 144 --output HDMI2 --auto --rotate right --dpi 96 --right-of eDP1
xrandr outputs a configuration that looks ok, but the display doesn't change:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3760 x 1920, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected 2560x1600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 286mm x 179mm
2560x1600 60.0*+
2048x1536 60.0
1920x1440 60.0
1856x1392 60.0
1792x1344 60.0
1600x1200 60.0
1400x1050 60.0
1280x1024 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 59.9
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 connected 1200x1920+2560+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 495mm x 310mm
1920x1200 60.0*+
DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
There seem to be a thousand ways to set up multiple screens, so it would be great to hear from anyone who has any suggestions about the best ways for me to approach this,
should I set up seperate monitors in Xorg.conf,
or even seperate X DISPLAYs and launch multiple instances of openbox?
thanks
Mathew
[EDIT]
on re-examining, while the dimensions listed by xrandr seem about right, the xrandr command isn't changing them, they seem to be defaults

If I put this in ./.xinitrc
DISPLAY=:0.0
exec openbox &
DISPLAY=:0.1
exec openbox
it fails, unfortunately there's not much of an explanation in the Xorg.log
This will launch:
DISPLAY=:0.0
exec openbox
but the screen will be mirrored at the resoultion of the smallest screen.
I'm guessing my xorg.conf is wrong, but I haven't been able to find any good information on setting up seperate X screens with intel integrated video
