[SOLVED] FreeNX with fluxbox/openbox/xfce4 WM's

Hello all,
There are many posts here and elsewhere with people having trouble with FreeNX when using the *box and xfce window managers. I have found out how to make them work very easily and thought I would post here instead of replying to multiple old threads.
For the *box users I assume you are starting your X session by running startx, which parses .xinitrc which contains openbox or fluxbox commands. The question is what commands do you use in the FreeNX client 'custom' setting to get it to work. As most people have found, trying 'startx' or 'openbox-session' does not appear to work, and you either get a black screen, or it quits straight away.
Openbox/Fluxbox
Assuming you have FreeNX installed and have sorted out the keys/sshd stuff and can connect to the server, then:-
- Go to /opt/NX/etc and edit the file node.conf with your favourite text editor (as root).
- Find the setting #USER_X_STARTUP_SCRIPT about 3/4 of the way down.
- Remove the '#' from the front of the line and replace whatever is after the equal sign with .xinitrc
USER_X_STARTUP_SCRIPT=.xinitrc
Save file and close. Thats it for the server.
Now on the client end:-
- Configure your connection and under Desktop select Custom from the drop-down that contains KDE etc.
- Click on Settings and in the first group select the middle option Run the default X client script on server
- In the second group select New virtual desktop
Click ok and try to connect. Hopefully it should just bring up your desktop and start working. I think this works for Xfce4 aswell if your .xinitrc contains the startxfce4 command.
xfce4
Since Xfce4 has its own startup script I also tried out another way and it worked fine. All I did was edit the node.conf file again and replace the startkde command with startxfce4, and then just select kde from the dropdown on the connection dialog.
/opt/NX/etc/node.conf
replace
#COMMAND_START_KDE=startkde
with
COMMAND_START_KDE=startxfce4
Remember to remove the # symbol at the start of the line.

Thanks for the info, Wittfella. I didn't know about the existence of FreeNX until this post! Good info to have. Perhaps you could add this information to the wiki page?

[SOLVED] Problem with "su" and "login".

Hi, I reinstalled Arch Linux today when I updated "filesystem" and reboot appeared an error with root device, but I solved with installation CD.
I restarted laptop after solving error with root device when I went to XFCE4 and open a terminal I tried to login as root with "su" and "su -" but showed this error:
bash: su: command not found
So I rebooted to start in text mode.
When loaded SLIM I press ctrl+alt+F1 to enter text mode.
I type root to login but did'nt appear to enter the pass, appeared again to enter login. I tried type my user but did the same.
Someone can help me?
Thanks!

Thank you falconindy. I upgrade with --force because I search in Google the problem show "filesystem" when I tried install and I read that solution is upgrade "filesystem" with --foce.
I tried to reinstall util-linux and now works. Thank you!

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace issue with Fluxbox and SLiM

Hi folks :)
I'm pretty new to Arch, had a few attempts at installing it in the past but wasn't quite ready and so decided to expand my Linux knowledge a little more, first. Well, I've done that and now I'm having another go, and things are going quite well. However, I have one minor problem. In ~/.xinitrc, I have the line 'exec startfluxbox' to start Fluxbox and do everything that is contained within the ever-so-handy 'startfluxbox' file. That works perfectly. However, if I restart X by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination, I'm sent to the command line rather than SLiM. However, if I replace 'exec startfluxbox' with 'exec fluxbox' it works fine and brings me straight back to the SLiM login window. Of course, I then can't make use of the 'startfluxbox' file.
Could anybody shed some light on why this might be happening? I know it's more than likely going to be something simple that I've missed, but any help would be appreciated. :)
Thanks,
Joel.

And using fluxbox instead of startfluxbox still works? Strange.
I had the same problem as well with slim and Xfce (sometimes SLiM would respawn after some minutes if I logged out normally), and ended up just giving up on SLiM.
I'll give it a try with my openbox-setup (should be similar enough to the fluxbox way).
What happens if you log out of your session instead of killing the xserver?
You could always give some other login manager a try, kdm/gdm or qingy if you want things lite.
[edit: I tried it, SLiM works fine with openbox-session. It needs rather a lot of time to start up after booting but that might have something to do with me having backgrounded daemons rather indiscriminately.
Probably a stupid idea, but have you tried waiting a bit? As I've mentioned, sometimes SLiM took a few minutes to respawn due to some bug or other.

A few reasons I can think of, but instead of shooting in the dark, lets check with experts who can look at your account.

Solve equation with one unknown parameter (x)

I am working on a Windows Phone program that calculates taxes due. One of the calculations is a formula/equation with an unknown 'x'. I have searched a lot on solving equations with vb but this really exceeds my - admittedly small - math knob. Perhaps you
can help me out.
The equation to solve is (for example):
((25000 + x) * 0.06) + x = 16500
The only unknown variable is x. Does someone know the proper code to solve this equation?

Are you looking to code some super-intelligent maths equation solver that can solve any type of equation (if so - good luck!)? Or are the equations you want to solve all of the same type?
The example you gave is of the form (A + x) * B + x = C. You can rearrange that to (1 + B) * x + A * B = C and from there to x = (C - A * B) / (1 + B).
If all your equations are in that form, you just need to identify the value of A, B and C and use the last formula I gave to calculate x.
I wasn't going to do that for him.
Let's see here, he's building a program for tax calculation and he can't do 8th grade algebra??
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

Harsh fonts in Opera Menus with Fluxbox

Using Opera 10.10 with Fluxbox 1.1. Fonts in actual web pages are nice but the Opera menu fonts are very harsh, bright, don't appear to be antialiased and clash with other fonts. This is not the case with Firefox. Here is a screenshot:
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/7639/operafonts.jpg
I have tried "opera:config" changes to XFT fonts and other changes- to no effect. I have ensured the hsync and vertfresh for my monitor is correc t and I have used nvidia-settings to ensure antialiasing is on. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I previously did not have this problem when using Gnome, but I removed Gnome as I am now using an older, slower computer, and besides, I prefer fluxbox...

[solved] Getting the mouse back to work with slim, openbox and tint2

Hey guys,
I did a fresh installation of Archlinux yesterday, installed firefox, thunderbird, steam and stuff and it all worked fine, until what I will explain next.
My installation is slim + openbox + tint2.
Nothing from the start is launched via ~/.config/openbox/autostart but everything I wanted to launch is launched via the ~/.xinitrc which looks like this:
#!/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
if which tint2 >/dev/null 2&1; then
(sleep 2 && xcompmgr) &
(sleep 2 && tint2) &
fi
xscreensaver -no-splash &
nitrogen --restore &
volumeicon
nmapplet
exec openbox-session
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
This is the status quo .xinitrc before there was
case $1 in
openbox|*)
exec openbox-session;;
esac
instead of
exec openbox-session
with
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
and no predefined session, which worked very well.
I did not touch the rc.xml until I wanted to make htop as my desktop background like descriped in here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … background
Yes, the idea with htop does not yet come from there and did not work out well. So I wanted to withdraw all these changes and found the desktop starting slower and without any working mice.
I had deleted the entry at the rc.xml and the .Xdefaults file mentioned there.
Status Quo is the .xinitrc given above, a reinstalled openbox with
$ cp /etc/xdg/openbox/{rc.xml,menu.xml,autostart,environment} ~/.config/openbox
, I also did not touch the tint2 and tint2config.
So how do I get the mice working again?
I would love to thank you for your help, I do not know what else I could do.
tl;dr everything worked fine until I wanted to get a terminal as background.
PS. This is my first installation of archlinux following the german beginners guide found here:
https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger
EDIT: Ok, I solved it by reinstalling and reconfiguring alls componoents up from the xorg-server. It works fine again now. Also I do not get WHY it did what it did.

With that TV, I believe the only audio output that it gives you is through the SCART connection. I might be wrong though. Does your stereo have a SCART connection? I've only worked with this connection once so I'm not completely farmilair with it but, I think this would be your best conneciton for audio. If your Stereo doesn't have this connection there are addaptors you can get. It's called is a Multi-AV SCART adaptor with input/output signal switch..... I think.

[SOLVED] Several problems with PulseAudio under Xfce4

So, yesterday I sat down to set up pulseaudio on my machine (I want to try and use it for my 'networked-audio system' of the future).
I was aware of the fact that pulseaudio does have several problems. particularly with ALSA-compatibility, but I was ready to give it a shot anyway and hope for the best.
Of course that did not happen...
I installed everything (including packages for backward compatibility with ALSA) and while sound still works (what a relief), I have several problems now:
1. Pulseaudio does NOT save it's volume levels - Volume levels for Pulseaudio are gone after next reboot, I was trying to look into this, but found no workable solution.
2. Strange behaviour of apps when changing volume - This is REALLY annoying.
When I am in a music app for example (e.g. Banshee) and am trying to increase/decrease volume, the current sound (song) will 'mute' when I am moving the slider and only 'resume' after I release it.
Any ideas are much appreciated,
Thanks,
SOLVED: It seems that all my alsa channels were automatically muted when pulseaudio was first enabled.
Strange, Is this because pulseaudio wants you not to use alsa or something? :-)

vacant wrote:
I'm using just alsa now but when I used pulseaudio I used "pacmd" to set suitable volumes. Something like
pacmd set-default-volume (and then volumes in the range 0-65000?)
anyway, "pacmd info" will have the correct command.
I was not aware of this, very useful - Thank you.

[SOLVED] virtualbox guest modules, openbox with librsvg

Greetings, I wanted to share a couple of important fixes I just did after doing a pacman -Syu after a couple of weeks. Many thanks to the other forum posts and #archlinux freenode IRC channel.
* When running arch as a guest inside virtualbox the names of the modules seem to have changed. The wiki instructions were once again very helpful to restore the guest addition functionality to my installation.
* Trying to work without a window manager was very frustrating. openbox 3.5.2-2 is now built against a new library so my system required (bug filed): pacman -S librsvg

Welcome to the boards.
These sorts of posts are not really necessary; the wiki is the appropriate place to note changes to applications etc.

[SOLVED] Open Email Links In Chromium With Evolution Openbox WM

I have tried everything I can think of to get this to work. Such as:
xdg-mime default evolution.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto
xdg-mime default evolution.desktop application/mbox
xdg-mime default evolution.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto
I tried opening a shell and typing
export DE=gnome
chromium
I also tried looking into the xdg-email script. I saw a mailto variable and set it to "evolution %s" and that didn't work. It looked like it copied the binary to my home folder.
If anyone uses this same combination can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

[SOLVED] Slim not starting Openbox

Hi :)
I've run a search through this forum and all, and I can't seem to solve my problem...
I've installed Arch on VirtualBox (so that I can try it out) and I installed Slim and Openbox.
The problem is that when I log in, the screen flickers, and Slim comes back up, as if openbox wasn't executed at all
Any of you guys has this setup? (slim and ob)
If so, please tell me how you configured it...
Thanks in advance

# default user, leave blank or remove this line

#default_user pedro
# current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to
# randomly choose from
current_theme default
# Lock file
lockfile /var/lock/slim.lock
# Log file
logfile /var/log/slim.log
i got rid of the %session bit, and the sessions, because i'm gonna use only openbox. Either way, i don't think doing that has anything to do with the problem, because i think i tried it with the default slim.conf and it didn't work anyway.

Having Issues with High CPU Usage with fluxbox & pekwm

Greetings,
I have searched for this issue and it seems that something similar has happened in the past with an old xorg, and it seems that someone is having a similar issue that they can point to kde as being the culrpit. However in my case, this is a fresh install and is not using any kde libs. Please allow me to explain the issue.
The power supply on my main computer finally gave out, and being incredibly poor at the moment I can not yet replace it. So, I pull out an older computer that I had once set up for my kids, but took it away from them when they were abusing it. I always make backup dvds and such monthly so I didn't have to worry about any lose of data, however I desired to keep my larger hard drives from my main computer. After testing to ensure that the hard drives were fine, I did some minor surgery, and did a fresh install of arch linux onto my back up computer. Since I prefer pekwm, I installed pekwm as my wm of choice, and outfitted it quickly with mpd+sonata, firefox, pcmanfm, and tint2. Then I rebooted into my pekwm 'desktop'.
It was running sluggish. Firefox was easily maxing the cpu up and beyond 100% and it felt ten times worse than any heavy DE I used in the past. I checked to make sure I had the right video driver installed. As this computer runs a 64MB nVidia GeForce2 MX with TV out video card, I searched nvidia's page and the arch wiki, noting that the driver needed is nvidia-96xx. Well I had already suspected that during install, and thus had installed such driver. I double checked my xorg.config and it has the right driver listed.
So I checked out some lighter browsers. I tried both Midori and Iron (which is similar to Chrome but without google spyware or whatever). Well both run better than firefox, Midori being the lightest one, but Iron quickly being my favorite. Still, the problem remained. Moving windows caused cpu spikes, opening more than one tab, or more than one program caused cpu spikes and the computer to slow down and sputter, freezing at times.
So I tried out another wm, fluxbos, which is another of my favorites. Seemed somewhat better but only fractionally, which I consider odd because pekwm has always seemed snappier than fluxbox to me in the past. Running lxtask (still mouse dependent, sorry lol), I was able to take note of the following...
FLUXBOX
lxtask 6% CPU usage average
PCManFM 5% CPU Average
Fluxbox 1% to 2% cpu usage
gksu 3% cpu usage
pidgin 3% to 7% cpu usage
firefox up to 62% cpu usage
midori up to 38% cpu usage
iron up to 50% cpu usage
mpd 11% cpu uage
Xorg (with no window movement) 2% cpu usage
Xorg (moving windows around) up to 80% cpu usage
PEKWM
lxtask 6% CPU
pidgin 7% cpu
tint2 1% cpu
pekwm 1% to 5% cpu
pcmanfm 7% cpu
firefox up to 85% cpu
python 1% cpu
midori up to 38% cpu
iron up to 25% cpu (odd...)
Xorg (with no window movement) 1% cpu
Xorg (when moving windows around) up to 80% cpu
Both were using around 118 MB RAm and weren't yet touching swap. As I see it I am thinking xorg or video driver related, yet I already made sure that I had the correct video driver. Here's my Xorg.conf

So what I am wanting help with is finding the solution to the cpu usage so that I can use this computer at least until I can afford a new power supply or whatever. I am open to any good suggestions, though I must state I am not really interested in tiling wm's at the moment. I am just not a true minimalist.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. I understand that there is a lot of info in this post, but it is my hope that with this info the problem can be solved. If there is info I didn't provide that is needed, please let me know.

also check that you have
session.screen0.opaqueMove false
in your .fluxbox/init this will probably help a bit if it is currently true,
