i really dont know what to do, i have put in "~/.fluxbox.init" while signed in as a regular user, but i keep getting this error saying "permission denied" i need someone to tell me how to fix this. cuz the only thing im trying to really do is get a new background, but i apparently hafta get into the .init part of .fluxbox, and if its denying me access then im not sure what to do. so can someone tell me how to correct or get around this?
Originally posted by detpenguin cool cool...ok, just open konqueror and type /home/your name or whatever you have here/.fluxbox
and it will list the files for you...
ok, i really need to know why it keeps telling me that permission is denied, cuz i did just what you said but apparently i dont have the permission to enter the .fluxbox/whatever.
there is no reason i can think of that you should be denied access to a user file if you're logged in as that user....what are you using to open it with? konqueror or another editor?

are you in fluxbox now?

you're using slack10, right?
yes im using slack10, and im using rxvt, i figured it out, i had to type in kedit .fluxbox/init and then it let me in, but now im not sure what im supposed to do...
Originally posted by detpenguin once you're in...if all you wanna do is change the background...such as use a different picture, scroll down to the line that says:
session.screen0.rootCommand:
and add this line:
fbsetbg -f /home/yournamehereagain/where ever the pic is at that you want to link...
mine is this
fbsetbg -f /home/jk/backgrounds/XmaN_TuxSun.jpg
the fbsetbg command doesnt work for me, im using the default setup of fluxbox, and it doesnt support that command, but bsetbg does, now i just gotta locate the damned picture...
yeah...slocate needs the database to search from that is created from updatedb....
it's a good idea to run updatedb now and then...to make sure your slocate database is current...
