tnx
it's some anime wallpaper I got from, uhm, dunno where... I randomly change the colour of it, and kinda
sticked to this one. PM me if you want it.
MOC is, well, very fast, only uses a console... add to that the fact that once you have FFMPEG from Debian
Multimedia and the moc ffmpeg plugin, it plays more or less everything. Although WMA crashes moc
for me sometimes.
The terminal in the background is actually only output from a log file - It's root-tail, a prog that shows the last
lines of a text file in the background. Pretty nifty to show /var/log/messages which shows
stuff like if USB drives have been recognized.

I had the same problem - tried to fix it by making a script that'd call root-tail from conky, but it gave the samediveli wrote:[root-tail] doesn't like running alongside conky
result... Any1 has a tip on how to incorporate both on a root window?
TNX!

@Ook: TNX for the info! I have the same versions, so it might perhaps be Fluxbox not being able to appoint
root window space to both conky and root-tail? If this is blasphemy, don't yell, I just assumed... Anyway,
could you [Ook] paste me the flags you use with root-tail?

I don't use the id option. Just a real simple line in my autostart.sh file.
Code: Select all
root-tail -g 848x614+5+32 -font fixed /var/log/syslog,green /var/log/auth.log,yellow /var/log/faillog,red /var/log/user.log,white /var/log/dmesg,aqua /var/log/debug,"#ffA500" /var/log/Xorg.0.log,grey &
http://www.explodingpanda.com/slackpages/roottail.php
There are some options to root-tail:
moRT,
root-portal,
xroottext,
paralogger.
I don't know if they are all in Debian repositories.[/code]

Nailed this one in the end. conky needed to run in its own window (own_window yes in .conkyrc). After that, root-tail was happy.canci wrote:I had the same problem - tried to fix it by making a script that'd call root-tail from conky, but it gave the samediveli wrote:[root-tail] doesn't like running alongside conky

Some mighty impressive desktops here! Mine is so boring in comparison.
The background is J-Pop group AKB48, before anyone ask. And yeah, low res backgrounds look nasty...
Mind you, boring my desktop may be, but it's exactly how I want it (and exactly how I cannot get it in Windows). Minimalist and low resource, but not overly so as to make things a pain. You guys have impressive desktops with use of transparencies and panels, but that's exactly the kind of thing I don't want tbh, extra stuff using resources. Same reason I don't like Compiz or Aero.
Each to their own of course, the main strength of FOSS is choice etc!

indeed, that's why many of the users run fluxbox on there system as well when the need to just get things done quickly is needed.Shakey_Jake33 wrote:Some mighty impressive desktops here! Mine is so boring in comparison.

my memory stays around 350mb tops with many apps running on Debian. With buntu because of Compiz it gets a little higher than that.
However, flux always stays in the 125-200 range and very fast.
Nothing beats puppy tho man...Nothing! lol

After a period of absence here's my main desktops. The first is my tried-and-true Debian, in 64-bit Sid. The second is more recent: I decided to give Slackware a try. It's the 64-bit version, BlueWhite64. Both run a barebones KDE 3.5.9
