Openbox Logout and icons

Anna · November 12, 2020, 11:42am

I’ve installed and setup Openbox, from what I can see most things work as they are supposed.
My main problem is that I lack the knowledge to see if it is actually anything wrong.
Posting my configuration.nix Hopefully one of you can take a look to see if there is something wrong,
or if everything looks fine.
I do have some problems, for example:
Logout:
When running xfce4-session-logout from terminal I get this error:
Recived error while trying to log out
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:
The name org.xfce.SessionManager was not provided by
any .service files

Tint2:
For some reason tint2 won’t update when I hit apply and the only way to see any changes is know of is to rebbot from the terminal

Icons:
I got help to learn to import my own theme, but I’m not sure if its possible but can this be done for icons to?
i tried renaming my icons and put them in the folder where I had my theme but it won’t work.
Adding tat file aswell in hope if someone also can see if there is something wrong there?

I managed to solve the problem with openbox logout, it was not a dbus problem at all.

My other problem. I was at Nixos package search and downloaded an expression. I tried to import it like a theme.
Adding the file and the error message I get in my terminal. Maybe someone has some clue as to that I am doing wrong.

jtojnar · November 14, 2020, 9:23pm

From the error message, it sounds like there are no files matching Luna* so the glorious bash replaces it by nothing, essentially running cp -a $out/share/icons.

Anna · November 14, 2020, 9:45pm

Tried to change cp -a Luna* $out/share/icons to cp -a tester* $out/share/icons tester as thats the folder name. but still get error.
Is it possible to remove that part or is it needed even when I have the files on my hardrive?

Update:
Removed that whole bit, still getting the same error

jtojnar · November 14, 2020, 10:05pm

You can try adding ls command to print the list of files and find out what you can copy. You will need to copy the files into $out if you want to have them inside the package.

Anna · November 14, 2020, 10:13pm

oh my, Thats new to me, could you explain how i do that?
Ive only used ls comand to see my home folder in the terminal ><

jtojnar · November 14, 2020, 10:28pm

Just add ls one line before cp in the installPhase. The individual phases are bash scripts so you can use many of the same commands as you would in the terminal (provided you add the packages they are in to build inputs – but ls, cp and many others are provided by default).

Anna · November 14, 2020, 10:40pm

not sure if this is what you meant:
ls, cp -a tester* $out/share/icons gave:

The files im trying to copy is located in 
/home/anna/Templates/Icons/tester/
it contains the folders 16  / places / and index.theme

Anna · November 14, 2020, 10:51pm

Would it be better if I used another file format r my import? Something like

github.com

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/29e9c10750e2b35a0e47db55f36c685ef9219f4e/pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/core/adwaita-icon-theme/default.nix#L6


      
          { stdenv, fetchurl, pkgconfig, intltool, gnome3
          , iconnamingutils, gtk3, gdk-pixbuf, librsvg, hicolor-icon-theme }:
          
          
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
            pname = "adwaita-icon-theme";
            version = "3.36.1";
          
          
  src = fetchurl {
              url = "mirror://gnome/sources/adwaita-icon-theme/${stdenv.lib.versions.majorMinor version}/${pname}-${version}.tar.xz";
              sha256 = "0kgiq712lfidd81yzx0yk7qwlj3q8cymp6npnxyzsk844y353674";
            };
          
          
  # For convenience, we can specify adwaita-icon-theme only in packages
            propagatedBuildInputs = [ hicolor-icon-theme ];
          
          
  buildInputs = [ gdk-pixbuf librsvg ];

As this file don’t have the cp thingy on it

jtojnar · November 14, 2020, 11:01pm

No I meant ls on a separate line. doing ls, cp … would not work, just like it does not work in your terminal.

If the files in the directory are 16, places and index.theme, you will want a code like

mkdir -p $out/share/icons/tester
cp -a 16 places index.theme $out/share/icons/tester

Adwaita does not need an installPhase because it has a Makefile with installation instructions so the default installPhase calling those instructions can be used.

Anna · November 14, 2020, 11:14pm

tried that with

installPhase = ‘’
runHook preInstall
mkdir -p $out/share/icons/tester
cp -a 16 places index.theme $out/share/icons/tester
for theme in $out/share/icons/*; do
gtk-update-icon-cache $theme
done
runHook postInstall
‘’;

got the message:
glibPreInstallPhase

cp: cannot stat ‘places’: No such file or directory

the files to copy : 16 and Places are folders with images and so in them ( dont know if that matters)

jtojnar · November 14, 2020, 11:17pm

I was basing the command on the files you mentioned previously. If the Places directory starts with a capital P, you will need to use that in the cp command.

Anna · November 14, 2020, 11:23pm

yay, that worked when I changed places to Places it had no problems

thank you soooo much.

A new day and a new thing learned.
