I'll pick it up. I just pushed 1.3.2 to unstable, it'll be available in few hours. Please let me know if it works for you.

I didn't touch the *_dlogin package - does it need updating as well?

No feedback - I assume it works, closing.

Well, it does "work". although it does have some ugliness on startup.

$ Failed to read: session.screen0.maxIgnoreIncrement
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.maxDisableMove
Setting default value
(many more similar type messages here..)

Also, more easily fixable:

/opt/csw/bin/fbsetbg: whoami: not found

I tried to reproduce the error by running fluxbox under vncserver, and I didn't see any errors. Could it be due to old fluxbox configuration? I tried on a fresh install.

OK, I found out what you were referring to: messages in the xserver log file enumerating options that have not been defined and ~/.fluxbox/init.

http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Editing_the_init_file [^]

The workaround for fbsetbg is on its way to unstable.

Waiting for feedback.

"I tried to reproduce the error by running fluxbox under vncserver, and I didn't see any errors. Could it be due to old fluxbox configuration? I tried on a fresh install. "

Could be. I'm not a fluxbox expert by any means; just a happy very basic user of it.

Hm. but no. i just nuked my ~/.fluxbox directory and tried again. still errors.

Maybe you have to test on sparc.

Maybe also change to a non-default theme. I restarted fluxbox but not my X11 server. That would be difficult.

Menu->fluxbox menu -> System styles -> BlueNight.
I'm also running multi-headed if that makes any difference .But since it's complaining about "screen0", I wouldnt think so.

(Hmm. interestingly, it does NOT complain about screen1)

Or maybe its because I'm starting it directly as "fluxbox", not "start-fluxbox"...

Oooh! yup, that's it. Huh, that's annoying.

Anyway, after doing that one time, the properties apparently stick in the X server, and it doesnt complain again.

PS;

$ /opt/csw/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu
/opt/csw/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu: whoami: not found
grep: illegal option -- q

so grep unhappy also
would be nice to rewrite it to use "normal" grep syntax rather than require gnu grep

Would you be willing to provide patches for the scripts? I don't use fluxbox (or any Solaris desktop software), so I can't really test if it works correctly or not. I would be happy to integrate fixes you send in.

Unfortunately, I dont have capacity to test them today, but I do at least have capacity to write them.
patches attached to bug

I just did a fresh install, in a fresh solaris 10 VM.
Used startfluxbox.
Got error:
/opt/csw/bin/fbsetbg: fbsetroot: not found

I tried the package in a solaris 10 VM, and did not get the fbsetroot error. The script has more places where it's incompatible with /bin/sh on Solaris. To simplify matters, I switched fbsetbg to bash and the script is working not.

I also bumped the version to the newest one. The package will be in unstable soon.
