Openbox

having trouble with openbox and having to rename my desktops after each session exit.
Using obconf, under desktops they are named correctly, and simply clicking on the names of each desktop and exiting is sufficient. The names do appear in my rc.xml...any help in resolving this would be great....see code below, only other start up programs are bbdocker, and gdesklets:

<number>5</number>
<firstdesk>1</firstdesk>
<names>
<name>(Office)</name>
<name>(Internet)</name>
<name>(Multimedia)</name>
<name>(Mail & IM)</name>
<name>(Music)</name>
</names>
<popupTime>875</popupTime>

</desktops>

To start, I would try getting rid of that encoded ampersand, then I would try it without the parenthesis--neither of these should be the cause, but ya never know (maybe you found a bug.) Then, if that didn't fix it, I'd disable any other autostart programs (bbdocker for sure) and see if that did the trick.
Good luck.

HOWTO: Startup/Shutdown Sounds in Openbox

In this tutorial, I will show you how to add startup and shutdown sounds with Openbox, a light-weight window manager. In theory, this should work with any window manager that uses a startup script (or, if you use the startx command, .xinitrc could be used for the same effect); however, I will be focusing on Openbox, so you will have to adapt these instructions for use with other window managers.
We'll start with a quick background story: I was in a "tweaking" mood a few days ago, and I figured I'd try to set up some startup and shutdown noises for use with Openbox. After a few minutes of messing around, I got it working. I searched to see if there were any tutorials like this, and since there weren't, I figured I would share my knowledge--that's what tutorials are for, right?
NOTE: I originally posted this on ubuntuforums.org; therefore, there may be some differences (I tried to fix most of them). Even though I did this on Arch originally, I wrote it targeted toward Ubuntu users. I didn't get much of a response--there must not have been too many Ubuntu/Openbox users looking for that. Please point out any inconsistencies, and I'll fix them as soon as possible.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's get started.
Step 1: Installing the necessary application(s).
First off, we will be using a commandline program called play. It is part of the sox package, so let's install that first (you likely have most of its dependancies already).
# pacman -S sox
If you'd like, you can cd to a directory with music in it and type play name-of-sound-file.extension to test that it is working. If you don't have any files to try it on, you can do this later after downloading your desired sound files in step 3.
I also have sudo set up; you will need to set this up to run the shutdown commands from a script as I have them. There is a section in the ArchWiki that will help in setting it up if you want. As for the commands with sudo in them, you can just run them in a root terminal.
In addition to that, I will be working with obmenu, a program for editing Openbox's menu from a GUI; however, it will work just as well to edit the menu by hand. I assume you already have a preferred method of editing your menu, but if you want to try obmenu, it's only a pacman command away:
# pacman -S obmenu
Step 2: Setting up shutdown privileges.
For this section, I will be adapting a section from a great guide written by urukrama here. We're going to be running a shutdown command from a script, so we need to have it set up to work without any interaction--in this case, that means removing the need for a password for the shutdown command.
To do this, type in the following command into the terminal:
sudo visudo
This will open up the sudoers file, which is used to specifiy user permissions for actions that require root priveleges. For those of you unfamiliar with Vim (I'm with you ), just press i on your keyboard to enter interactive mode, which allows you to edit the file. Then, enter the following line at the end of the file:
%wheel ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown
Then press escape to exit interactive mode. Lastly, type in :wq followed by pressing enter to save and exit. Now you can use the sudo shutdown command without entering a password.
Step 3: Getting the desired sound files.
Now we come to the fun part of the guide--finding the sounds that we want.
There are plenty of startup and shutdown noises floating around the web; I went to gnome- and kde-look to check out theirs (the same are available at both sites). Here's a link to the System Sounds section at gnome-look. You can look through and download the ones that interest you; once you have listened to a few and found one that you like, go on. Just for reference, I chose the Dream pack. It fits very nicely with my current setup and theme.
Step 4: Setting up the shutdown/startup scripts.
If you haven't already (in the last step), extract the sound files from the package that they downloaded in. Then, look through the files and find the startup and shutdown noises. For me, they were titled Dream Intro.ogg and shutdown.ogg, respectively. Move these files into their own folder. I chose ~/.startup--on my Arch install, it was empty. You may want to put it into a different folder/sub-folder, preferably somewhere in your home folder. You can now remove all the other sound files--hypothetically speaking, it probably wouldn't be too hard to get other sounds (such as minimize, maximize, etc., if provided in the sounds package you chose) working with Openbox, but that is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Now, go to the folder in which you placed the startup and shutdown noises. For simplicity's sake, we're going to place the scripts in this same folder.
We're going to be making two scripts here--one for reboot and one for shutdown. Open up your text editor of choice here and enter the following line (replacing the "/path/to/file.extension" with the path to your shutdown sound):
play /path/to/file.extension && sudo shutdown -r now
For me, it looked like this:
play ~/.startup/shutdown.ogg && sudo shutdown -r now
What this does is play the sound file specified and, once that is done, moves on to the reboot process (that's what && does). Save this as reboot.sh. Now make a new file, this time for the actual shutdown. It will be the same as the first except the shutdown command will now be sudo shutdown -h now. Here's what mine looks like:
play ~/.startup/shutdown.ogg && sudo shutdown -h now
Save that one as shutdown.sh. At this point, we have completed the scripts for both shutdown commands. Next, open up your Openbox autostart script (should be in /home/<user>/.config/openbox/autostart.sh, where <user> is your username) with the text editor of your choice. You probably already have a few different things in here; if not, it doesn't really matter. Just add the following line to your autostart file (as you can see, I used quotes around this one because this file had a space in its name--you'll want to do the same. You can also use a backslash before the space):
play "/home/<user>/.startup/Dream Intro.ogg"&
Make sure you keep the ampersand (&) in tact; otherwise, the script will wait until the sound is done playing before completing the rest of the processes. I recommend that you place the sound file at the beginning of the script so that it starts first--the way I have it set up, everything is ready to go by the time the login sound ends (sooner, actually). Now that we've come this far, we're almost done.
Step 5: Adding the shutdown options to the Openbox menu.
At this point, the login sound will be working; however, we still need to set up the shutdown sounds. To do this, we will add a section to the Openbox menu that runs the two scripts we made in the last step.
Either open up obmenu or use your preferred text editor and open up menu.xml (should be in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml). As I said, we will be adding two items: one for rebooting and another for shutting down. In obmenu, you can add a new submenu wherever you want (I chose the bottom of the menu) and name it Power (or whatever else you'd like). The first we'll add is named Restart. For the execute line, add the following:
bash /path/to/reboot.sh
For me, this path is ~/.startup/reboot.sh. As for the second, name it Shut Down and for the execute command put the following:
bash /path/to/shutdown.sh
Again, for me this is ~/.startup/shutdown.sh. Here is what the section in my obmenu looks like:
As for the pure XML, here it is (I replaced my name with <user> ):
<item label="Restart">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>bash /home/<user>/.startup/reboot.sh</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item label="Shut Down">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>bash /home/<user>/.startup/shutdown.sh</execute>
</action>
</item>
With obmenu, just save it, and your menu will be refreshed. When hand-editing the menu.xml file, you have to remember to Reconfigure Openbox (it will be in your menu unless you've removed it).
And with that, you should have working startup and shutdown sounds. You can test it by right clicking on your desktop and selecting one of your new shutdown options. You should have a sound play followed by the normal shutdown routine. Then when your computer starts back up, you will have a pleasant noise after logging on.
I hope that helped you! Please point out any errors that you see, and I'll correct them as soon as possible.

Nice tutorial. I was wondering, I noticed you have a games tab. Do you know how to properly execute games. I am trying to get steam games working also Call of duty 4 as tabs under obmenu. Could you help me out?
Thanks!

Scan for and connect to networks from an openbox pipe menu (netcfg)

So the other day when i was using wifi-select (awesome tool) to connect to a friends hot-spot, i realized "hey! this would be great as an openbox pipe menu." i'm fairly decent in bash and i knew both netcfg and wifi-select were in bash so why not rewrite it that way?
Wifi-Pipe
A simplified version of wifi-select which will scan for networks and populate an openbox right-click menu item with available networks. displays security type and signal strength. click on a network to connect via netcfg the same way wifi-select does it.
zenity is used to ask for a password and notify of a bad connection. one can optionally remove the netcfg profile if the connection fails.
What's needed
-- you have to be using netcfg to manage your wireless
-- you have to install zenity
-- you have to save the script as ~/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe and make it executable:
chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe
-- you have to add a sudoers entry to allow passwordless sudo on this script and netcfg (!)
USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/netcfg
USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/USERNAME/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe
-- you have to adjust ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml like so:
<menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3">
<menu id="pipe-wifi" label="Wifi" execute="sudo /home/USERNAME/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe INTERFACE" />
<menu id="term-menu"/>
<item label="Run...">
<action name="Execute">
<command>gmrun</command>
</action>
</item>
where USERNAME is you and INTERFACE is probably wlan0 or similar
openbox --reconfigure and you should be good to go.

Screenshots
removed -- Hi-res shots available on my site
NOTE - i have not tested this extensively but it was working for me in most cases. any updates/fixes will be edited right into this original post. enjoy!
UPDATE - 10/24/2009: i moved the awk statement from wifi-select directly into the script. this did two things: wifi-select is no longer needed on the system, and i could tweak the awk statement to be more accurate. it now prints a true percentange. iwlist prints something like Quality=17/70 and the original awk statement would just output 17 as the quality. i changed to print (17/70)*100 then bash trims the decimals so you get a true percentage.

well, just to be sure you're doing it right...
he above is only an adjustment to the OB script's print_menu() function, it's not an entire script to itself. so, if the original OB script shows output for you with
sh ./wifi-pipe
then using the above pint_menu() function (with all the other supporting code) should also show output, (only really only changes the echo's so they print the info in the pekwm format).
oh, and if neither version shows output when you rut it in a term, then you've got other issues... ;P

Questions about asus eee 701 and trayer/ openbox

Hello,
This is a two part problem and I didn't know where to post them. I have am asus eee laptop, using arch linux with openbox.
First - how can I make trayer stay below all other windows, right now it above them?
Second - I'm using Idegh acpi package and I want to dim the screen when the ac is unplugged and have go back when it is plugged in. I have tied xbacklite from the cli and it does kinda work(but messes with the key board controls),when in the acpi script it will only dim once and go back. Gnome power manager works great but I don't want to use it. I would think echoing a value to a file would work but what file?
Thanks for any help
brncmp

Don't know if it works with trayer, but on my eeepc (huhu) I use peksystray. If I want it to be below other windows, I juste have to launch ObConf, In the Dock tab, Stacking and choose the third option

[Solved] Openbox's rc.xml error "Extra content at the end of document"

I have a rather silly problem with Openbox.
I'm not a programming genius so, for me, dealing with XML is a pain but I usually manage to get OB's menus and other docs to work. Ive been banging my head into a wall of xml trying to add my own entry to OpenBox's rc.xml file. All I want to add is an Xfce terminal centred on my Twinview desktop. I've done it in the past but right now I can't get the rc.xml file to work. Whenever I re-configure OpenBox I get the following message spit out at me:
Extra content at the end of document on line ###
So far, this is what I've attempted to get this to work:
- I have tried recopying a new rc.xml from /etc/xdg/openbox to my home directory's ~/.config/openbox. I was assuming I'd botched it entirely and started over from the beginning.
- I have cut/copy/pasted the commented paragraph, above my entry, with the same co-ordinates and with the "force position" set to "yes."
-I've googled this error but I only found one or two semi-relevant hits (from this forum no less!) Unfortunately I did not find a fix to the issue or a reason as to why this error crops up
I know that it's probably something that is easily missed but I honestly can't see it. I'm hoping someone on the forum will have run across this issue before and had it fixed. Below is a copy of my current rc.xml.

You can use whatever tool you prefer - for someone already using emacs, emacs is a natural choice. Simple, easy to use online tools exist e.g. http://schneegans.de/sv/
Just upload the file in question ('Validate by file upload' option) and click 'Validate':
The '=' character cannot be included in a name. (723:10)

Googling 'xml validation' should give you some more tools / services if this one is not good enough.

Openbox menu etc doesn´t show [SOLVED]

Hi, I really need some help here.
I can´t figure out what the hell is wrong with my openbox.
I had it running smooth, and because Im new to Linux and Arch I played around I guess and configured.
Somehow I guess I have configured somesthing totally wrong and now my Openbox don´t work as it should.
I have tried to replace the rc.xml, menu.xml and the autostart.sh with the defaults and still it doesn´t help!
When I start Openbox pypanel is supposed to be started, it worked before.
The only thing that comes up when I log in on openbox now is Conky and nothing else. The right click menu nothing works.
I will post some configs that is related to the subject and I would be very glad if someone could guide me
Btw im running Openbox with Gnome.

Ohh thanks guys!
It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
But again, really thanks!
/Neuwerld
that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself. with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background. that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

Python openbox pipe menu

I somewhat hijacked a different thread and my question is more suited here.
I'm using a python script to check gmail in a pipe menu. At first it was creating problems because it would create a cache but would then not load until the file was removed. To fix this, I removed the last line (which created the cache) and it all works. However, I would prefer to have it work like it was intended.
The script:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Authors: [email protected] [email protected]
# License: GPL 2.0
# Usage:
# Put an entry in your ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml like this:
# <menu id="gmail" label="gmail" execute="~/.config/openbox/scripts/gmail-openbox.py" />
# And inside <menu id="root-menu" label="openbox">, add this somewhere (wherever you want it on your menu)
# <menu id="gmail" />

name = "111111"
pw = "000000"
browser = "firefox3"
filename = "/tmp/.gmail.cache"
login = "\'https://mail.google.com/mail\'"
# Allow us to run using installed `libgmail` or the one in parent directory.
try:
import libgmail
except ImportError:
# Urghhh...
sys.path.insert(1,
os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
os.path.pardir)))
import libgmail
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
from getpass import getpass
if not os.path.isfile(filename):
ga = libgmail.GmailAccount(name, pw)
try:
ga.login()
except libgmail.GmailLoginFailure:
print "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
print "<openbox_pipe_menu>"
print " <item label=\"login failed.\">"
print " <action name=\"Execute\"><execute>" + browser + " " + login + "</execute></action>"
print " </item>"
print "</openbox_pipe_menu>"
raise SystemExit
else:
ga = libgmail.GmailAccount(
state = libgmail.GmailSessionState(filename = filename))
msgtotals = ga.getUnreadMsgCount()
print "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
print "<openbox_pipe_menu>"
print "<separator label=\"Gmail\"/>"
if msgtotals == 0:
print " <item label=\"no new messages.\">"

state = libgmail.GmailSessionState(account = ga).save(filename)
The line I removed:
state = libgmail.GmailSessionState(account = ga).save(filename)

## This horrible mess is here for two main reasons:
## 1. The `Content-Type` header (which also contains the boundary
## marker) needs to be extracted from the MIME message so
## we can send it as the request `Content-Type` header instead.
## 2. It seems the form submission needs to use "\r\n" for new
## lines instead of the "\n" returned by `as_string()`.
## I tried changing the value of `NL` used by the `Generator` class
## but it didn't work so I'm doing it this way until I figure
## out how to do it properly. Of course, first try, if the payloads
## contained "\n" sequences they got replaced too, which corrupted
## the attachments. I could probably encode the submission,
## which would probably be nicer, but in the meantime I'm kludging
## this workaround that replaces all non-text payloads with a
## marker, changes all "\n" to "\r\n" and finally replaces the
## markers with the original payloads.
## Yeah, I know, it's horrible, but hey it works doesn't it? If you've
## got a problem with it, fix it yourself & give me the patch!

Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job

Hi,
Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job.
strange, isn't it ?

I want to have openbox in the job list of a bash. as if my xinitrc was "exec xterm" and I manualy enter the "openbox &" commande in the xterm window. I suppose this is a common wish : telling bash to read from file then from keyboard, but that not exactly what bashrc do.
"ps j" for openbox started in bashrc
PPID PID PGID SID TTY TPGID STAT UID TIME COMMAND
1769 1773 1773 845 pts/0 1752 S 1000 0:00 xterm -e bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1 1780 1773 845 pts/0 1752 S 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
1773 1783 1783 1783 pts/2 1805 Ss 1000 0:00 bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1783 1795 1783 1783 pts/2 1805 S 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/openbox --startup /usr/lib/openbox/openbox-autostart OPENBOX
1783 1805 1805 1783 pts/2 1805 R+ 1000 0:00 ps j
"ps j" for openbox started by keyboard or PROMPT_COMMAND
1718 1722 1722 845 pts/0 1701 S 1000 0:00 xterm -title Login -e bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1 1729 1722 845 pts/0 1701 S 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
1722 1732 1732 1732 pts/2 1747 Ss 1000 0:00 bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1732 1744 1744 1732 pts/2 1747 S 1000 0:00 openbox
1732 1747 1747 1732 pts/2 1747 R+ 1000 0:00 ps j
ps have PGID equal to the bash TPGID, so it is foreground. openbox from PROMPT_COMMAND have his own PGID, so it is background. openbox from bashrc share PGID wish bash ... so if bash do not consume Ctrl-c signal openbox receive it ? I assume it is some things like this, but why ? INVOCATION and JOB CONTROL sections in bash manpage do not seems describe this, so that's a strange behaviour.

Integrate KDE notifications with Openbox?

Hi,
I'm using openbox with whole set of KDE programs (I prefer it this way over KDE with OB as WM).
Is there any way of integrating KDE notifications with OB to make it look neat?
Cheers
vi3dr0

What do you mean "integrating KDE notifications with OB" ?
If it's related to launching KDE applications from OB menu, you can have entries like that :
<menu id="apps-editors-menu" label="Editors">
<item label="Kwrite">
<action name="Execute">
<command>kwrite</command>
<startupnotify>
<enabled>yes</enabled>
</startupnotify>
</action>
</item>
</menu>
in your ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
If it's something else, explain and give an example of what you want.

How can I use KDE apps in Openbox?

I like using Openbox because it fits very well in my netbook, it's fast and lightweight. I also like to use a good file manager, like Dolphin and a image viewer like Gwenview. I can perfectly run those apps in Openbox, but there is a dark side.
When I execute them, a bunch of extra processes come in, like knotify, kded4, khelper, kacpid, and a lot with "k"! I hate that because even after all the apps are closed, knotify (and the others) still running and consume about 90% of the CPU (specially knotify) when in normal use (without KDE apps), the average usage of it is about 10%
Is there any way to use a "standalone" Dolphin or Gwenview or any other KDE app?
Thanks!

I use also some KDE applications in openbox, and I saw also the 7% cpu usage of knotify4 after the upgrade to KDE 4.6 with a new $HOME/.kde4.
I could suppress that the same way as mentioned in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77531 post #2
ie choosing "No audio output" for the notifications.
I use regularly Konsole and play some KDE games; here are the KDE related processes running continuously :
berbae 4400 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kdeinit4 Runnin e
berbae 4402 4400 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: klauncher [kdei e
berbae 4404 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]
root 4412 1 0 10:32 ? 00:01:31 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
berbae 4458 1 0 10:33 tty1 00:00:09 konsole
berbae 4460 4458 0 10:33 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash
berbae 4562 1 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/knotify4
With these processes running I get 0-1% cpu usage, of course after the change with the notifications output.
Hope that will solve also your issue.

Update seems to have broken openbox theming.

I updated about 2 hours ago and it seems to have broken a lot of my window manager.
I use openbox as a standalone window manager and have had no issues so far.
I update every few days and today caused the resizing-freeze issue, so I downgraded the suggested packages which fixed that.
However I have another issue with theming.
Programs such as firefox, thunderbird, thunar etc... all have the correct theme. However I use some gnome programs such as rhythmbox and nautilus and neither of these are themeing correctly as well as terminator and all appear to have the default gnome theme.
I use obconf and lxappearence for themeing normally, however these seem to have no effect.
I've done a fair amount of searching and googling and am now very tired and am going to bed.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. If I am being stupid in my sleep deprived state please feel free to point it out XD.

Hi all. I'm also running Openbox and have done the following so far;
1. Installed gnome-themes-standard. Created a new folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0/; Created the file in the folder "settings.ini" with the following code;
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
Thanks to the info on the thread here
2. Checked out the post here. Downloaded the tar of Adwaita from this.page and did the usual "makepkg -s" magic and rebooted.
What I'm now getting is nm-applet in tint2 with the dark theme of Adwaita which is great but doesn't really match my dark theme axiomd but it's better than before.
What I'm wondering is how to manage this in lxappearance, change font etc?? If I select the theme Adwaita it's a light theme? Having looked in the directory there is both gtk-2.0 (i think this is the light one?) and gtk-3.0.
I've also noticed that it is affecting rhythmbox; slow to load and the status icon setting in the plugins is missing, so you close the GUI and find the app quits rather than the previous behaviour where it would close but the notification icon would still run in tint2 enabling one click control access to the GUI again.
I appreciate this is obviously a new implementation and will take a bit of time to learn but any tips from those in the know would be great!? TIA.

How would I load a DE/WM (Openbox?) only for use in VNC?

tl;dr:
How can I make a segregated virtual display that can only be viewed through a VNC connection?
I have a computer that I'm using as a server (Files, Downloads, IRC bouncer), and soon as an XBMC front end for the living room computer to replace the original XBox.
With the TV it will be attached to: I want to be able to watch videos, play music, look at pictures, and possibly run an emulator or two, and that's it. No access to virtual terminals, no other programs at all. I can figure this out on my own, I found a few guides, though if you have a particularly good resource, I'd love to see it.
Here's what I do want suggestions on:
I also want it to start, say, Openbox, with just a file manager, JDownloader, and maybe a VERY light IM client for sending links to the server. (Taking suggestions, I use IRC, Google Talk, and XFire already, but on my laptop and my phone I use multiprotocol clients.)
I want the IM client and JDownloader to always be running, and I want to only be able to access them (and my entire Openbox session) through VNC. I will be using VNC clients on either a 15' or 22' monitor from Windows 7, Linux (Arch and Ubuntu) and OS X Snow Leopard, as well as from an iPhone.
I would love for the VNC session to, like Virtual Box, automatically resize itself according to window size (or the iPhone's resolution) but I'd have no problems with a single resolution.
I searched, but I suspect I'm using the wrong keywords, I've seen something about this before... I'll be doing this in about two days, but I figured I'd ask for help now rather than later.

Set up an appropriate ~/.vnc/xstartup file - syntax is the same ~/.xinitrc, but it's for the vnc session only.
Details on the wiki's tightvnc page.

Looking for a theme of openbox in kde4

sorry for my poor english,i didn't often post a thread in english
some days ago i installed kde4 on my laptop and turn from openbox to kde4
after try kwin for some days,i replace the kwin window manager with openbox,because i've got used to openbox
but one question:
the theme of openbox doesn't suit the kde4's，i googled but didn't find a suitable one.so is there a theme for openbox that can match the theme of kde4?

box-look.org - openbox theme site
PS: Or make one by yourself with Xyne's OBTheme. It's in AUR.

Openbox-Debug: UPDATE DESKTOP NAMES
Openbox-Debug: Keyboard map changed. Reloading keyboard bindings.
Edit4: Removed everything from /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart/ directories. That didn't work.
Edit5: Tried installing xorg-xsetroot to let openbox set the color of the wallpaper. That didn't work.
Edit6: Checked the output of "loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID" to make sure that wasn't the issue. Looks okay to me:

Edit7: Tried installing xorg-xrdb thinking maybe that would help and did todays updates. No luck yet.
Edit8: Kupfer still loads even though nothing else does. So I uninstalled kupfer. Same thing though. No autostart.
Edit9: Tried booting into repo kernel instead of ck kernel. Didn't work.

Well, since it worked fine even when called indirectly through openbox-autostart and since it's worked fine for months I figured it was fine. I am happy to post it though. Here you go:
feh --bg-scale /home/dodo3773/Pictures/blacksolid.png &
xfce4-panel &
numlockx &
keepassx -lock &
kupfer --no-splash &

Here are the external scripts that are called (startupopen.sh and temp_throttlenew):

while true; do

unthrottle
fi
sleep 3
done
Stuff that needs sudo is in my sudoers as "username hostname NOPASSWD: item1,item2,etc,etc". Nothing too exciting. Seems like if there was suddenly something wrong with my autostart file at least some of the stuff would run either way though cause of "&". Pretty puzzling this issue is.

[Solved] Nm-applet in Openbox doesn't save WiFi password

Hi guys!
In this days I'm working on a Openbox desktop on my eeepc 1005HA...
For the wifi connection I have to use network-manager because wicd doesn't work well with the encription of my university (WPA2 Enterprise Tkip + cert)...
But nm-applet every boot asks me the wifi pass! There are 3 days that I scan google and forums for a solution but I haven't found it yet....
I've already tried:
1) unlock keyring modifying as is written in the wiki (doens't work)
2) add gnome-keyring-daemon --start -c pkcs11 & in autostart.sh and then in rc.local (because so it starts before nm-applet)
3) adding source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus or export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="openbox" in autostart.sh as i've read somewhere in the web, but nothing! Nm-applet don't save the password...
I don't know what try now....Someone has been able to get it work?

Thank you ! I have an Acer AspireOne 150L, trying archlinux for the first time. I have just been dealing with the same issue and came across your post, I wanted to help after I found a clue The english wiki is really helpful, I could find all that I'd been looking for. Cheers ! (Btw: turkish wiki is not that good either, wiki needs people like us to translate i think)
