Alternate applications for audio, video, console, editor
hi..
i switched over from gnome & gdm to fluxbox and slim. now the problem i need some alternate applications for audio, shell or console and text editing. previously i used these: rhythmbox, gnome-terminal and gedit. |
rhythmbox, gnome-terminal and gedit.
Or did you want to completely remove gnome? |
yes.. i completely removed gnome..!
|
audacious, xterm, gvim?
|
apps you might want to try
You could try open cubic player for audio,and either nano or pico for text editing.
http://www.cubic.org/player/ http://www.nano-editor.org/ of course for audio you could use mpg123,ogg123 and flac123. If you need a fast terminal emulator evilvte is fine.Cheers. |

As my terminal emulator I use urxvt (rxvt-unicode). I find it's unicode support to be exceptional. It has also nice features like keysyms and perl extensions that are very useful. The killer feature -for me- is that it has a server/client model. You can launch urxvtd (the daemon), then you use urxvtc to connect to it. This means that all your terminal will share the same memory. It's a very good thing if you like to have lots of terminals open. I use bash and mc intensively to manage all my files (mc is particularly good at accessing remote shares and I use it to connect via ftp to websites and edit files). As my editor of choice I use nano for most things. I really don't need all the features of vim or emacs, however these two are very good and complete editors. It all depend on what kind of editing you are doing. For heavy editing I prefer a graphical editor, and my choice is kate. There are light graphical editors around as well. You can check leafpad for example. For audio and video I use mplayer mostly. When I need to manage playlists, I use moc, which is small and nice. It also works daemonized, so you don't have to have the client permanently open to listen to your music. |

I usually preffer text based programs because they will live inside my screen session even if I have to close X or restart it for some reason. I guess that the only purely graphical programs that I use intensively (besides my wm) is the web browser, which right now happens to be firefox (i'd gladly get rid of it if I found a replacement, but I haven't yet). |

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I tried putting the above settings in ~/.Xdefaults, but it didn't work.
Also tried loading these settings from xrdb. This also didn't work. xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults |
Are you sure you have the font "-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" on your system? You can use xfontsel to select a valid font.
The colors should work, though... So if you don't see yellow text we can assume that your Xdefaults file is being ignored for some reason. |
yes.. i don't see any yellow text, its plain white. Though there are different for dir and file listings.. but i think that is a bash feature.. right?

You can try "xrdg -merge ~/.Xdefaults" instead and see if that makes any difference. Of course, you need to open a new terminal before the settings will take effect. But by now I think that you already know that... But just in case. |
