## Re: Proto-Refracta Jessie with sysvinit

OK, I looked it up, and I found where the openbox keybindings are. At line 324 or so of rc.xml, change "Konqueror" and "kfmclient" (or whatever it was) to "Run" and "lxpanelctl run" and then you can use Window-key + e to get the run dialogue.
BTW, we are running openbox here, not lxde. Just a few pieces of lxde are included - lxterminal, lxpanel, lxinput and lxappearance-obconf.

Code:
  `<!-- Keybindings for running applications -->
  <keybind key="W-e">
  <action name="Execute">
  <startupnotify>
  <enabled>true</enabled>
  <name>Run</name>
  </startupnotify>
  <command>lxpanelctl run</command>
  </action>
  </keybind>
  `

Wallpaper setting is in spacefm preferences. You should be seeing the galaxy with the Refracta logo.

Sorry, my fault.
To me it looked like lxde.
I don't know openbox and lxde well, so i guess as soon there is the lxpanel i assume it is lxde.

Yes, I checked the md5sum. Just using VGA with on-board video. Nothing fancy.

Well everything is working fine here.
If anyone is not familiar with openbox here's a link to my base config. It's pretty well commented and no doubt will have some useful snippets

Code:
  `[email protected]
  :~$`

Finally got around to installing. Too much going on lately in other areas of life plus too much time spent sorting the systemd problem. Hours sodding around with eudev, still no progress with initramfs.
Booted the iso from hd partition sda7 using grub-pc "loopback" facility (locale and tzdata set there) and installed to sda12,
No problems with the panel but a few others.
Both the live system and the installation don't shutdown nor reboot properly from openbox session (black screen) . Works as expected from (no X) console.
Grub was set to install to partition, this failed and had to be fixed manually. Ability to chainload avoids needing to update-grub on the "master" system.
User and root passwords failed, had to be fixed in chroot from another system.
Will have to reinstall to try debug this, didn't set full debug log, the standard installer log is not very useful.
I'm totally new to openbox.. this seem a rather nice system. The problems noted (unless it's just me did something wrong) should be fixable. Spacefm handles USB mounts just fine.
Did anyone notice, consolekit appears to have been forked by xfce people https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2
Take a look at this: Graphical frontend for su: https://code.google.com/p/yad/wiki/Examples .. Works here!
My recompiled (no systemd) dbus and libpulse0 seem to work on another system (jessie with TDE)

fyi n my setup I have sudo only for shutdown reboot .I still have the default kernel as I wanted to see remain as default as possible while I test it. I notice that I have to switch on the wifi via the hardware button on my laptop on every boot. It maybe my old hardware, anyone else have this?

kelsoo, one thing I forgot to do was set 'wireless_interface = wlan0' in etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf. I don't know if that would affect your wireless problem, but it's worth a try.
dzz, I haven't tried changing user name or passwords when I installed. I sure hope that's not broken. I'll try it when I get a chance.

  :~$`

Reinstall done with no bootloader this time. Nothing wrong with password settings. Maybe it was a typo by me or something to do with a 5 minute hang then a fail on grub install to partition (which comes just before users and passwords). Will find out later.
kelsoo.. woth checking your problem is not something to do with missing acpi-support and acpi-fakekey.. acpi-fakekey depend on libsystemd0 but wheezy version (installable) does not.. acpi-support depends on acpi-fakekey
I hoped that might fix the reboot problem but it does not. I can logout and rebooy from console normally. I won't know if it's just this particular machine till I install on another and try a different jessie build on this one.
Noticed sudoers.d/user_shutdown is still still set for "user" although installed with a different user. Replaced that manually with "%sudo".
geany "history" was not cleared! (user and root)
Other than that, it's a nice system. Thanks also for the introduction to openbox.
EDIT: Shutdown/reboot works fine from this live system booted from usb, on another machine (Dell Inspiron).

My install was done from the toram session started from a usb stick, to which I had written the iso with dd, kind of a habit with me... Anyway just to say that adding my root password, and adding my user "fleabus" + user's password worked fine during the install here; all present and accounted for on the resulting metal install.

Thanks for that hint, haven't tried chainloading yet, never got around to it...
