Nitrogen in Puppy

#1 Post by sheepy »

I grabbed a Debian package for Nitrogen, and it works, but the wallpaper appears to apply "under" the wallpaper set by Puppy's Wallpaper. I am running Openbox.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get this to work?

Did you check if disabling the rox's pinboard at x's startup (.xinitrc) fix it?

I don't see any .xinitrc. Where's that at?

:D Hello,
It is a hidden script in /root, hence proceeded by the (dot)..
"Show hidden files" or the "eye" on the rox bar will reveal it..
Messing with .xinitrc can be hazardous.. so...
Test first..
In a terminal:
"rox space slash p equals"
rox -p=
will kill the pinboard.. does it solve your problem???

Wow, I feel so dumb now, lol. So I'm guessing what's hindering me from being able to see the wallpaper has to do with PuppyPin? Should I just remove the processes relating to it?

On a side-note, I have urxvt transparent, and it shows the wallpaper set through Nitrogen through it. So does part of Conky. I attached a screenshot.

And, yes, it worked, thank you so much! How can I remove the pinboard from startup without adding an extra script to stop it?

:D
If killing the pinboard solves the problem, then an edit of .xinitrc is the permanent step..
Add the above at the last line...

Or, just place a script in /root/Startup with that same code... 8)

@Edit..
It is just easier to kill the pinboard after all the other stuff has finished..
Wait for the attached processes, ie fixmenus, to load, then do it..
And /root/Startup is very useful for that..

Just to clarify..
If you edit .xinitrc
After

exec jwm/openbox/icewm/etc...

And before

In D-lite i have pinboard on/off toggle i found it best to let pinboard run in .xinitrc and then disable it after - if pinboard was completely disabled in .xinitrc when pinboard was toggled back on the the applications icons were fine but the drive icons wouldn't show.

What!?
Don't edit it so that it shows a pinboard and then gets rid of it again. Look for where rox is started, and comment that out.

if you have two window manager setups or want to keep the puppy default for backup.
edit .xinitrc to something like.

Code: Select all

CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`"
if [ "$CURRENTWM" = "evilwm" ];then
 rox -p =
 killall -9 absvolume &
 xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow &
 xsri --color=darkolivegreen --color2=black --vgradient 
 gkrellm &
 exec evilwm -term sakura -fg black -bg grey -bw 1 -snap 12
fi
it also just starts only the apps you wanted for that window manager :D

This reminds me of the Third post i made on this forum :D
How to permanently turn off ROX's pinboard?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=56205
back then i used jwm and oroborus :)

Code: Select all

if [ "$CURRENTWM" = "oroborus" ];then 
 killall absvolume 
 #kill rox pinboard 
 rox -p= 
 #feh background 
 eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` & 
 sleep 3 && xbattbar & 
 fi

is it possible to make a nitrogen pet that does NOT kill the pinboard but sets the wallpaper IN the pinboard just as pwallpaper and wallpaper setter do?
