[SOLVED] Lock Screen and Systray

Hi,

im quite new to linux, so my questions might be kind of stupid, maybe.

I did manage to make my tint2 and conky look the way i want, but have no idea how to edit:

1) system tray - e.g.: i dont need battery to be shown, because its dead [SOLVED]
2) lock screen - layout, wallpaper - /etc/lightdm/ [SOLVED]

Thanks.

Hi

Hi

system tray - e.g.: i dont need battery to be shown, because its dead

sudo apt purge fdpowermon && pkill fdpowermon

Should do it 

You should also remove the fdpowermon line from ~/.config/openbox/autostart — doing that alone will stop the icon from starting but I presume you would want the offending package removed.

Not sure about the screen locker, sorry.

If you have other window managers installed you can choose which one to run.

PS: "Getting Started -> Introduction to the Bunsenlabs Desktop" will have a lot of answers for you

If you have your question answered you can edit the title of your first post and add [SOLVED]

Re: [SOLVED] Lock Screen and Systray

Both options select the same desktop, BunsenLabs has openbox set as the default Xsession.

Change this (system-wide) with:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

If you want to run a custom desktop for each individual user then you can create a file at ~/.xsession [1] and add the desired startup commands there — if that file exists then it will be run instead of /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager when "Default Xsession" is selected in LightDM's login screen.

[1] From startx(1):

Note that in the Debian system, what many people traditionally put in the .xinitrc file should go in .xsession instead; this permits the same X environment to be presented whether startx, xdm, or xinit is used to start the X session. All discussion of the .xinitrc file in the xinit(1) manual page applies equally well to .xsession.

For more on X session initialisation, see https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=3774
