Desktop Styles are not saved.Forum: User Feedback Topic: Desktop Styles are not saved. started by: martinschultze Posted by martinschultze on Dec. 09 2004,14:10
Hello,there is a wrong path in /home/dsl/filetool.lst since DSL 0.8.4. Due to that bug the settings of the Desktop Styles are not saved with "sudo filetool.sh backup". In /home/dsl/filetool.lst I changed the path "home/dsl/.fluxbox/background" to "home/dsl/.fluxbox/" Then the settings of the fluxbox are stored again. The directory "background" doesn't exist anyway. BTW I want to have xmms back again since the new DSL Media Player can't play icecast/shoutcast streams. Or am I doing something wrong? Martin Posted by SaidinUnleashed on Dec. 09 2004,14:14
You can download the xmms.dsl from the multimedia section of the repository. It's 667k, a lot smaller, and easier for the dial-up junkies around here to download than Firefox, which was like 8 meg. -J.P. Posted by ke4nt on Dec. 09 2004,16:03
martinschultze:The filetool.lst should include the two lines home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles If yours is different, then it is being modified by an altered copy in your backup. The reason for not having the entire .fluxbox directory in the backup is that upon restoring from backup, the file " menu " will be overwritten with a copy that is not current for you. Depending on WHEN you create your latest backup, the menu may contain many links to extensions in your "mydsl" section .. Once restored via backup, or at bootup, these links will be dead, as you may not have enabled these extensions at startup. If you would like to have your desktop "theme" restored upon a fresh restore, or at startup, include the line home/dsl/.fluxbox/init in your next backup. 73 ke4nt Posted by ispmike on Dec. 10 2004,06:57
I have been wondering how to do this for a long time, thanks. |
