linus72 · 08-08-2009, 07:41 AM

I'm playing with Hag Linux, which is grml medium I think...
trying to autostartx fluxbox
anyone know how to do this?
thanks

You do manage to dig up some pretty obscure stuff!!!---this is not even on Distrowatch.

gmrl?

Autostart Fluxbox: Can you not do it with an entry in /etc/inittab or ~/.xinitrc ?

linus72 · 08-08-2009, 08:42 AM

Thanks for answering Pix!

Yeah, I dig up Gold though

Obscure distro's?
You want a list, LOL

Hag is based on GRML
http://grml.org/

http://hag-linux.eu.org/

Best fluxbox I ever saw in hag version codenamed Blackcat

Problems?
Can't seem to get x autostarted..

Hag has 2 versions of fluxbox..
grml reg fluxbox
hag special fluxbox
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1&d=1249736127

In grml 2009, you just add parameter "startx=windowmanager"
doesn't work in Hag though?

What file in /home/grml can I edit to start x?
.xsession, .xinitrc, ?

both grml/hag are debian unstable, like sidux
Mmmm...?
HELP!

You would normally autostart X using something like /etc/inittab and the scripts in /etc/init.d

If these are based on Debian, there's probably lots of info around

Hi,

I recommend nodm to autostart X.

PS I'm glad you like Hag.

linus72 · 08-31-2009, 02:59 PM

What?
are you the force behind it?

that would be awesome!

LOL
I just finished my remasters of grml-medium and pmagic/pupy
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...83#post3662683

Hag rocks don't it?
I like the hag fluxbox

if your the maintainer please post back

linus72 · 08-31-2009, 09:29 PM

OK
I installed nodm
edited /etc/default/nodm
to start x with user grml

BUT
when I choose EXIT from fluxbox menu
it goes to console for a second then fluxbox starts again

How do I get it to exit to console like it's supposed to?

mmm?
thanks

nodm is designed for embedded devices, so in nodm it's supposed to start X over and over again. You probably need to stop nodm daemon, to stop X permanently.

linus72 · 09-01-2009, 04:49 AM

Mmmm
thanks for answering azhag

Now, stopping the nodm daemon?

Can I somehow edit the fluxbox menu or something so when I choose
"exit" it stops the nodm daemon and exits to console?

Is there a config file somewhere for nodm?

also, how do I get your "devices" submenu into my fluxbox
and the toolbar volume app too

whens the new Hag coming out?

Sure, something like

Code:

[exec] (Exit) {sudo /etc/init.d/nodm stop; fluxbox-remote exit}

should be fine.

probably /etc/default/nodm only

this parse /etc/fstab into fluxbox menu entries. Then you need to include this menu.

I'm not sure, I have few new ideas and have to fix some things, but I'm a little busy lately...

linus72 · 09-01-2009, 04:38 PM

OK
but I'm really a newbie dude
I have zero bash scripting ability

I installed the stuff for the volume app
and theres this script here
http://pastie.org/259660.txt

am I supposed to copy and put that script somewhere or what?

also,
the devices menu

Quote:

/usr/bin/hag-gen-menu, lines 76-95

am I supposed to put your hag script in /usr/bin/hag-gen-menu??

please simplify your explannation?
I am bash,etc retarded

OH
also, how do I disable nodm if I don't want to auto start fluxbox?
I tried a cheatcode "nodm=off"
that didn't work
maybe I have to enter into the initrd.gz to make that boot code or what?

Also, How did you remaster GRL into Hag?
it was pretty difficult for me cause I was trying to manually edit the fluxbox menu in /etc/X11/fluxbox
which didn't work
Finally, I had to chroot in to grml-medium
add what I want thru apt-get
then I cd'd into /home/grml
and did "su grml"
to become user grml
I then uploaded my running /home/grml/* as a tar.gz
then downloaded it into my chroot with wget
then untarred it as user grml and did

cp -a grml/* /home/

or something like that and it worked
thats only way I could get my menu and opera bookmarks etc in there
how did you do it?

thanks for your advice too'
its invaluable

Why don/t you just install deb package?

Put it anywhere, then execute it while generating menu (the best place to do that is ~/.fluxbox/startup, see Hag's startup). And make sure that you include created file (hag-mount-menu? I can't remember) in your menu.

I don't know, probably you have to sniff around isolinux.

I created packages with my config, script etc., uploaded them to my repository and added them to grml-live configs.
All files that should be in /home/grml/ I place in /etc/skel/. System copies this directory to /home/grml/

linus72 · 09-03-2009, 03:55 PM

YOUR THE MAN!
thanks
/etc/skel

I knew I was overlooking something damn it!
thanks bro
Please post when you release a new Hag?

XavierP · 09-03-2009, 04:29 PM

Actually, azhag, if you would like to have a dedicated sub-forum here, drop Jeremy a line to discuss it with him. You could also get yourself a shiny title under your name too

linus72 · 09-03-2009, 04:32 PM

NO doubt!
