im using fluxbox, and when i change my wallpaper using qgview, after i log out, then log back on it is back to blank page, can anyone justify this, because im a little frustrated haha [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif[/img]
the command to set the background is usually at the bottom of the style you are loading in the ~/.fluxbox home directory.
Chances are you don't have the program it's using to set the background image
Edit the
~/.fluxbox/init file and alter the line:
session.screen0.rootCommand: to be
session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -f /path/to/image.jpg and that should do it!
Check out the
Fluxbox Wiki for some great tips.

I use Gentoo Linux (not suggested for new users as it has a harsh learning curve) but they mirror lots of programs .. including
Eterm yay! Although if you are using something like Fedora then you can most probably install using a respository instead of from source:
Code:
yum -y install eterm
This will be a similar reason as to why you can't get FF2 to work in place of FF1.5. Try using the repository:
Code:
yum -y upgrade firefox
Using source with a RPM based distribution causes issues like this.
hmm, ok so how do i actually install eterm, and plus.. i still dont get how ot install or upgrade my firefox, typing
yum -y upgrade firefox came back with a command not found....
so i need ot know how to install eterm still,a nd upgrade firefox.. thanks for your time!
You first need to become root (the admin of the system) so do:
Code:
$ su -
<password here>
#
Then you can type the yum command for installation.
ok thanks, i will try this tomorrow after school, (its to late now, bed time) .. do i need to open my terminal ina special place to upgrade firefox, or install eterm? or just open aterm anywhere?
