The awk error in my case was a result of installing to /mnt/user so awk was in /mnt/user/usr/local/bin but the awk symlink in /usr/local/bin was still pointing to /bin/busybox. I made a new symlink that pointed to the /mnt/user/usr/local/bin and then matchbox2fvwm ran fine.

Fine work Zumi, now I've got fvwm on all of my linux machines  very cool.

Fvwm is very addicting the more you play with it. Thanks for feeding my habit

Cheers,

THANKS !!!  IT IS WORKING AND IT IS GREAT!!!!

NOW I WILL TRAY TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT FONT SIZE OF APPLICATIONS MENUS


TO MAKE THEM BIGGER ABOUT SIZE=16 STYLE=BOLD

MAY BE YOU HAVE AN IDEA


HI

[Zumi]

Freebird: open the .fvwm2rc file (located in the /home/root/.fvwm dir) with your favourite editor and search for the 69th line.
It's like this:

Code: [Select]

Menustyle * Font "xft:Arial:size=14:encoding=iso8859-1"To stay at your example, you have to change the line this way:

Code: [Select]

Menustyle * Font "xft:Arial:Bold:size=16:encoding=iso8859-1"You are welcome.

I don't understand this. There should be no file named "awk" in the /usr/local/bin. If there's one, it's in the /usr/bin. (but I think there's no default awk on the system, only in the native sdk)

I absolutely agree with this.

Freebird, just a suggestion: Use mixed case, UPPER CASE LOOKS AS IF YOU'RE SHOUTING.

Best regards,

On the screenshot I noticed the taskbar items are overlaping each other. You made them a bit thiner, arent you?
And yeah, I never tought anybody will iconize anything (I never do with fvwm). Maybe I will give titles for the iconified apps too.

Guys, some puzzler for your configuration pleasure:
I will give some warm handsake for the person who tells me how to omit the shadow at the applet fonts. I just can't do it...

Zumi, thanks a lot!

It's amazing WM  I'm really happy.

0.2 released!

Update from the unstable feed.

Main change:
- Fvwm is now sets the different screenoff, suspend and backlight settings when you charge the Zaurus or use it with battery. You can set them using the original Light & Power utility then reload the taskbar applet using the "Reload" line from the backlight settings menu.

I hope you like it!

I'm trying to get Taviso's directory browsing script to work so I can browse mp3 & video directories. I'm running into problems with the fvwm-menu-directory script . It'll run if

I'm no programmer so I haven't a clue how to resolve these. Is it possible short of installing perl?

Thanks,

No, unless you (get someone to) rewrite the script in bash.

Right, changing only the interpreter usually doesn't help.
I will look into the possibilities when I will have more time.

Thanks Zumi,
As I said, I'm no programmer, more of a script-kiddie. I can mod other people's scripts, but god forbid if I have to write one that does more than one operation  

I think it would be great to be able to use Taviso's script to browse to the mp3 or mpg file and load it by clicking on it.

I had similar problems as I installed fvwm to /mnt/user because my / is almost full.

First run from xterm ->

Code: [Select]

# matchbox2fvwm
That's what writes the pdaxrom_menu file. That should tell you's not working. In my case the error was related to awk. It was symlinked to busybox and not to the awk binary in my /mnt/user partition. To fix it I just deleted the the symlink and created a new one pointing the the awk binary in /mnt/user/usr/local/bin (if you installed to /mnt/card it'll be in/mnt/card/usr/bin - or /mnt/card/usr/local/bin).

If you can't figure it out post the error message from matchbox2fvwm
