Topic: Where is "myDSL" on JWM, It's different than Flux?

I first installed cups when in Flux. And it then gave me a right-click menu option called "MyDSL ---> Cups Admin". Very nice.

When I moved to JWM there is no such menu. Only way to get to cups is via http://localhost:630.

Did I miss something here. Should I have installed cups when I was IN JWM and it would have created a menu there too? (I was just running from CD).

Thanks,

Al

al2, I believe that the menu for JWM is kept in the /home/dsl/.jwmrc file. You can add the menu item for Cups by adding these lines just after the

<RootMenu label="DSL" onroot="3">

line in /home/dsl/.jwmrc:

Code Sample

<Menu label="Cups">
<Program label="start"> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start </Program>
<Program label="stop"> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop </Program>
<Program label="restart"> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart </Program>
<Program label="reload"> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys reload </Program>
<Program label="force-reload"> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys force-reload </Program>
<Program label="Cups Admin"> /usr/local/firefox/firefox http://localhost:631 </Program>
</Menu>

There is a flua script called /etc/init.d/flux2jwm.lua but I don't believe it handles the mydsl menu items correctly. It is handy for converting things like this into a form you can use, though.

I rebooted,went to JWM, downloaded CUPS and there it was... in the JWM menu. Obviously this does not carry over from switching between WMs.

I does carry over if you have backed up the download to the top directory or saved it to the /mydsl folder of some writeable media. When I am using the live CD I save the backup file and downloaded apps to a pendrive.
