[edit] Minimoko: fast and lean Desktop
--matzehuber 16:30, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I used shr unstable with all updates until 2009-10-15 and made some changes on it.
- windowmanager: openbox and obconf (patched few lines of code)
- desktop-software(icons): idesk
- keyboard: literki
- screenlock: xtrlock (modified)
- desktop-status: xminimokostatus (new written, uses dbus in C/glib)
[edit] Screenshots
left side screenshots are with normal theme, the right theme is "Mikachu"
[edit] Download
- Full Image [1]http://www.huber-computer.de/openmoko/minimoko.tbz (~80 MB)
- Diff between shr-u and Minimoko: [2]http://www.huber-computer.de/openmoko/minimoko_diff.tbz (~13 MB)
- Update-Package from 1. Version to actual [3]http://www.huber-computer.de/openmoko/minimoko_update.tbz (~1 MB)
[edit] Install
untar it onto an ext3-sdcard. nothing more is to do. boot with qi. you need ~243 MB on the card.
[edit] Documentation Links
- openbox: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Main_Page
- obconf: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/ObConf
- idesk: http://idesk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
[edit] Usage
It bases on shr, so the base is shr-like. If you want to get illume, just rename .Xsession to .Xsession.unused
[edit] Tips
- When you use obconf, the configuration is "copied" into .config/openbox/rc.xml and furthermore used from there
- Minimized Windows are excluded from the slide function, you have to bring them up with menu -> windows
- To bring the keyboard up, slide from bottom right up and slide down to bring it down
- one can have the icons moveable, but the screen is flickering while moving. to do this, one can edit .ideskrc
[edit] Knobs, touches ...
- single click on an icon starts the program which lays behind .idesktop/<application>.lnk
- AUX locks the screen with xtrlock. Pressing one more AUX unlocks the screen
- POWER short pressed suspends
- POWER for more or equal 2 Seconds shuts the system down with init 0
- Slide(drag to the right, for example) on the top bar of an application switches to the next application
- Double Click on the topbar of an application shows the Main Menu
- Double Click on the empty desktop shows the Main Menu
- On the left of the topbar is the knob for minimizing the app, on the right topbar is the close knob
[edit] Menus
if you installed new applications and want the menu updated, use:
/usr/bin/makemenus
after that, you can remove unused menuitems in /etc/xdg/openbox/openmoko.menu
[edit] Sources / Patches / Binaries
- openbox needed to have a little patch because of the behavior of the om-applications: client.patch and prompt.patch
- NEW VERSION: client_new.patch prompt-patch not more needed. With this patch openbox is able to hadle rotated display with xrandr.
- xminimokostatus can be found here: xminimokostatus.tgz. it is now also able to handle rotated display. Lic: GPL_newest
- the patched xtrlock can be found here: xtrlock-2.0_patched.tgz
- idesk binary: idesk-0.7.5_0.1_armv4t.ipk sourcedir with compiled binary: idesk-0.7.5.tbz
- not more used: i wrote a little helper, which places text on the root window: xroottext.tgz Lic: GPL_newest
