Fluxbox keys stopped working Post on Jun 23, 2009

I was mucking around trying to hide some files in vim's netrw, and all of a sudden fluxbox did some wierd blinky thing, and I had to reset my machine. None of the menus would work, I couldn't switch workspaces, nothing.

Resetting brought me back into fluxbox, but my theme had been reset to the default, which was wierd. So I set it back to the one I downloaded and started to go back to work...but...now none of my hotkeys were working. I jumped on #fluxbox and didn't get anything useful so I did a little digging around and found this post on linuxquestions.org. Turns out the session.keyFile setting in ~/.fluxbox/init was set back to the default which is /etc/X11/fluxbox/keys on my machine. So I put it back to my user file:

" ~/.fluxbox/init
session.keyFile: ~/.fluxbox/keys

After a quick restart, everything is back to normal again...oh, except I have to set up more workspaces, I lost 3 of them. Hmmm, wish I could figure out what the hiccup was.

Maybe next time.

Af out.

Fluxbuntu and Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg Post on Dec 08, 2008

I had to blog this one. It's the hack of the day. I couldn't get a minipci wireless card (Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG) card to work on my old Toshiba Satellite A30. The ipw2200 driver is installed in Fluxbuntu by default (which is nice) but 'iwconif' reported my 'radio off' on eth1.
I had to tape a couple pins to get it to work, and the sliver of tape was tiny, harder to pull off than I thought, but I'll be damned if it didn't work.

Internet: 1, Pro/Wireless 2200BG:0 :)
