So, it really makes no difference where I put it, as long as I can find it?
I would have to edit the thingies that want to look at the file.sh, I guess, so it can find it too?

Code: Select all

Pecos: ${execi 300 /home/harry/scripts/weather.sh 79772}

Yep.

RC,
sometimes it does make a differance for example if you would like to type something.sh to run your script instead of /home/user/something.sh, this would go along with running one script from another. also if you would like to use the script in a cron job or udev rule or your drive is mounted under the noexec rule.

Ok, you are way over my head, but I think I get what you are saying __{{emoticon}}__

And now... a new issue...
On my stick-install of antix core, and icewm, I get this error when I try to start a roxterm

Code: Select all

** (x-terminal-emulator:8830): CRITICAL **: Error connecting to dbus: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

** (x-terminal-emulator:8830): CRITICAL **: optsdbus_listen_for_opt_signals: assertion `rtdbus_ok' failed

** (x-terminal-emulator:8830): WARNING **: Failed to connect to session manager: SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined

So, am I right thinking that dbus is just not running?
I did remove nodbus and antix lmde(or what it was) from thee boot cheats.
What exactly is the session manager?

rc - what desktop manager are you using, slim?

rust collector · posted: 2012-07-10 10:58

Right now... nothing... I guess I was wrong?

Is desktop manager and session manager the same thing?

anticapitalista · posted: 2012-07-10 11:02

Ok, install dbus-x11

Wow! that was easy! Works great!

Aw! it does work well, BUT not if I su to root?

I decided to try using gdm3, and it does work...if it works well...Who knows? but it does log me in, and do what it should, I think.

so, now my latest screwup!

I somehow managed to break the wallpaper chooser thingie?
I made a picture, and svaed it to home/wallpaper, then tried to copy it to /usr/share/wallpaper
It just made a link, but oh well.

So, when I tried to set the background, it complained it had too many symbolic links, and wallpaper was disabled, or removed, or something along those lines.

Ok, so I try to set a different pic, but the chooser thinge don't work?
So now I use rox to set the background, which is ok... but the thing shouldn't just disappear, right?

in ~/.wallpaper there are several files, change the contents of the saved file to a different picture (not a link) by full path and it should come back up.
If it does not you *should* be able to copy the original .wallpaper from / etc/ skel/

Oh, the picture itself is ok, but the tool to choose wallpapers is not working anymore.
I have fixed the pic.
but thanks!

Dave · posted: 2012-08-10 22:01

if"the tool" is wallpaper.py (antixCC --> choose wallpaper), changing the contents of the saved file will allow for"the tool" to open. Reason being it is looking for a valid picture file to load in the preview inside of the main window.

EDIT:
I do have a newer version that should fix several issues similar to this one, when it is ready/tested it will be downloaded and installed on a apt-get dist-upgrade

rust collector · posted: 2012-08-10 22:08

aha! ok!
As usual, I end up learning something!

I will try the new one when it gets done

And an edit...
Sure enough, it works fine now...
