SOLVED:Questions about obsession

[djohnston]

mimas,

I started to compile obsession for JWM again, but then realized I had not changed the "OpenBox" string to "JWM". So, I started reading through the source files. In obsession.h is this section:

Code: [Sélectionner]

enum {
        NONE = 0,
        UPOWER,
        CONSOLEKIT,
        SYSTEMD,
        GDM,
        KDM,
        LIGHTDM,
        LXDM
};
Can JWM be added? I'm not sure it will make any difference. Here's why. I looked at obsession-logout.c and saw this section:

Code: [Sélectionner]

/* Handler for "clicked" signal on Logout button. */
static void logout_clicked(GtkButton * button, HandlerContext * handler_context)
{
/* kill(handler_context->lxsession_pid, SIGTERM); */
g_spawn_command_line_async("openbox --exit", NULL);
gtk_main_quit();
}
It's why the Logout function doesn't work in JWM. The function sends a SIGTERM to lxsession, but the process is not running. From what I can see, the only display manager functions running with SLIM/JWM are:

/usr/bin/slim -d (as root) and
x-session-manager (as normal user).

Logout is handled in the .jwmrc (XML file) with the function:

<Exit label="Logout" confirm="false">

Reboot and Shutdown I'm doing with ConsoleKit. Can obsession be modified for JWM?

Don't add JWM here, it's an enumeration used to dispatch the "power" commands and the login manager commands.

> g_spawn_command_line_async("openbox --exit", NULL);

Nice catch! I absolutely forgot this part. This executes the openbox --exit command and quit the current Openbox session. The previous line is not executed (it's commented), it's from lxsession which stay in memory.. Sending a SIGTERM to lxsession process quit the session.

Replace the "openbox --exit" by "jwm -exit", it should work.

I have planed to add configuration support in obsession. Something like that

Code: [Sélectionner]

[Config]
SessionExitCmd=jwm -exit
ScreenLockCmd=xlock

I gotta learn how to read C!

Thanks! I'll try it later tonight.

Do you want to try to start the course cs50.tv ? It can be started at any time!

Well, that's a CS intro course. I programmed for years. Just haven't written any code in quite a while. And there's not much call for PAL-8 assembly language coders any more. I'm learning Perl, so I'll eventually bridge from there into C.

Yessiree, Bob. Er, mimas. Works like a charm.



One thing, though. There are no uninstall rules. It's easy enough to "uninstall", though. Just make sure you get all the .po files, too. Oh, another thing. Can you put some fluffy bunnies in the background? Or a mika cat chasing the mouse? No, no. I've got it! Some clowns chasing Bill Gates. Yeah, that's the ticket! Can you put some clowns chasing Bill Gates in the background? People won't know what to think.

The course contains some C, and the second video I watched was quite nice and interesting, so I thought you might want to have a look at it. Additionnally the videos can be downloaded and watched as time allows. If you would want more info, you could come to continue to talk about it on the other thread.


PS: you antiX spin seems to come out nicely! I would like to try it on my eldest machine.
