### Remove Installer in Openbox?

by miyolinux » Wed Nov 30, 2016 4:28 am

Hi folks,
I have a question in regard to removing the Refracta Installer icon after installation. First, let me say that I've tried adding it to the list of items to remove after installation. I've also looked over the various instructions in the Installer files.
Here's the situation...
1. The distro is based on Devuan and uses Openbox as the WM and desktop.
2. I've placed the GUI Installer in the Home Folder of PCManFM for easy access...it's excluded from the Menu.
3. I've renamed the Installer to reflect the name of the distro.
Despite everything that I've tried, after installation, the Installer icon remains in the Home folder.
NOTE: I see (from the files), that the Installer is to be deleted from the Desktop.
Can anyone help me figure out why it won't remove the installer after installation? It's not that big of a deal, but just one of those things that I'd like to accomplish.
Since it's set to be removed from the desktop, should I place the Installer in the Desktop folder (instead of the Home folder itself), and instruct users to go to the Desktop folder to access the installer?
Did renaming the Installer have anything to do with it?
I hope I've been thorough enough!
Thank you!

I'm confused about what you put where. Did you put refractainstaller.desktop somewhere for the icon to show up? Did you put refractainstaller-yad in your home directory?
There's a post-install script built in that will remove refractainstaller.desktop from the user's Desktop directory. If you changed the name of the .desktop file, then you need to change the file name in the script, /usr/lib/refractainstaller/post-install/cleanup-install.sh. See line 15. If the .desktop file is not in that location, change the path to match. The * in /home/*/Desktop makes it work for any and all users.

Thank you fsmithred...yes, I put the refractainstaller.desktop (with a different name) in the home directory, and removed it from the Desktop folder. Sorry that I wasn't clear enough.
I also changed the name in the script, but there's always the possibility that I made an error. I'll go back in and make sure. Thank you for your response.
EDITED TO ADD:
I found my mistake. I don't know how I missed it before.
Thanks for making me dig fsmithred.

Thank you for the kind words thwak.
I've found a few things that need to be addressed, but overall, I'm happy with it. I just hope that the few problems I've discovered won't make Devuan and/or Refracta look bad because of MiyoLinux's association with them.
To be honest, when I released it, I thought if 50 people eventually tried it, I would have been amazed by that.
It's gone way beyond that...and it's a bit overwhelming.
Thanks again.

Its the kind of distro I like - found it a couple of days ago, & gave it a spin yesterday.
Did an install on a pendrive, presently only has what came with it, but will be trying out any other Devuan distros I come across as well.
Just signed on here, so have yet to try out refracta, but I'm sure I'm going to like it as well.

Thanks FOSS. I certainly appreciate the input!
Devuan has an "unofficial" forum now. If you happen to test MiyoLinux further, would you be kind enough to give your impressions here..

...no pressure though.
I still have much to learn, and I'm always looking to improve.
