Hey I am new in heir.
But not new to linux, but I am quit green using Fluxbox.
So I want to add following commands to the init file:
fbsetbg -l /Pictures/slackware.jpg
setxkbmap dk
I thought I should add this to the init file:
session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -l /Pictures/slackware.jpg
session.screen0.rootCommand: setxkbmap dk
But when I reboot the system, the lines does not be execute am I do something wrong?
Please define "but it does not work".
What happens when you run "fbsetbg -f /path/to/file" from xterm? Do you see the wallpaper? Does the file ~.fluxbox/lastwallpaper gets created?
'session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -l' (without the path to the .jpg) in the Init file
Then you need a program to display the wallpaper, I use Esetroot, which is a part of Eterm (but there is a slackbuild for Esetroot at Slackuilds.org, if your using Slack). You can use feh or some other prog, but I couldnt get the aspect to display properly with feh.
Then, in '~/.fluxbox', you need to create a file called' lastwallpaper', with the following:
put some wallpapers in ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds', and they should automatically show up in the fluxbox wallpaper sub-menu. If you set the wallpaper through the menu, it should stick on reboot. Works for me.
