I'm sure maybe..

I actually hardly ever burn stuff anymore
you know usb/hdd boots all the way

Sometimes if I am suspicious about the bootablity
of one I make I may burn it.

It has Graveman too lq_asking
k3b, the best burning app ever?
is in the kde 3.5.10 addon too

Generic change of Xorg keymapping

Suppressing the default "us"-keyboard settings supplied by the Xorg Input Hotplugging is needed. Simply add these lines to /nFlux_13.1/rootcopy/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
     Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
     Option "AutoEnableDevices" "False"
EndSection
An even better solution clearly would be to change the Xorg Input Hotplugging defaults from "us" to "de".
How?

Don't use this special xorg.conf at all!

Instead copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi

to

/mnt/live/mnt/sd[xy]/rootcopy/etc/hal/fdi/policy/

Then replace this line (in the copy of 10-keymap.fdi)
Code:
...
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
...
by
Code:
...
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
...
Then boot with one of the start-menu-entries containing APPEND ... autoexec=xconf;.... That does all the rest of (auto-)configuring the X-server.

This is a generic solution - without (pre-)setting any hardware-specific Xorg-driver in xorg.conf.

Hey lq_asling
thanks for sticking with it and making it happen!

You know, you could make a full German version?
I'll host it if you do
Just install the reg version somewhere
set everything up as you like
then remaster it using the LLS in /root/linux-llive-6.3.0

I have a few suggesstions about making it smaller etc
so it me back if you wanna do that.

So, no real "bugs" so far as you know?
I know that some of the gksu stuff may have issues
when running as user "guest"
check out /etc/sudoers if you want to change/add permissions, etc
I'm no expert on gksu,etc

I am quite comfortable now with your version. Though I am very interested in remastering. Before doing that I have to learn more on some details. Now I am struggling with the fme-editor I installed. But apparently the ubuntulooks package is missing. Try to build it later from a slackbuild.

Once X was hanging. No problem.

I shall test gksu after having debugged the fme editor.

By the way does your current kernel use Con Kolivas' BFS-patch?

So how to edit the nFlux-menus? The syntax is easy.
Questions:
a) where is the fluxbox-menu used by nFlux?
The default-file /home/guest/.fluxbox/menu is not used. In contrast to this /home/guest/.fluxbox/init says it is:

Code:
session.menuFile:	~/.fluxbox/menu
b) how to assign an icon to an menu-entry?

hey lq_asking

whats fme-editor?
I'll chek it out...

I put the "configurator" for /usr/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu script
in both fluxbox and fbpanel menu
just pop it open and check it out

anytime you add/remove apps
you gotta enter
fluxbox-generate_menu

in a terminal and it will update /root/.fluxbox/menu

to add things so fbpanel "sees" them, make new app entries in /usr/share/applications folder
the ones I made include like "sbopkg", etc

can you dig that?

Graphical Editor for Fluxbox menu entries.

/root/.fluxbox/menu as user: guest?

If I run fluxbox-generate_menu it will touch /home/guest/.fluxbox/menu. Even updated /home/guest/.fluxbox/menu doesn't contain entries for example for Wine Config which really appear in the Fluxbox-Menu (and in /usr/share/applications).

This is confusing.

ah

yes, you also have fluxconf/fluxmenu/fluxkeys in fluxbox menu configuration/tools/

you see; slackware doesnt have an auto-update menu system
so apps like fbpanel, etc use the files in /usr/share/applictions
to setup fbpanel menu

also, in debian/ubuntu they have debian menu system
which for their fluxbox auto-updates menu

so, to edit the main fluxbox menu you edit and update /usr/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu
to edit user/root menu you can use "fluxmenu"/fluxconf
but anytime you update menu it will override it
so, just edit /usr/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu with Configurator in fbpanel menu
then do fluxbox-generate_menu in terminal

for Wine-Config to show up you edit /usr/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu
or edit /root/.fluxbox/usermenu

This is the point where I am stuck.

I can't identify the current fbpanel entries in this complicated shell-script.

Could you please give examples for how to insert a new submenu or a new program.

mornin bro

ah, yest it took me awhile to get it working good
you should see the default fluxbox menu,etc

Now, Please tell what apps or menu entries you wanna add?
remember that the fluxbox menu and fbpanel menu are different

and the fbpanel menu entries are the files in /usr/share/applications

Thank you. I didn't realize that there two menu-systems.

Now I shall try to add an entry for Wine Config in the fluxbox-menu by myself.
