[Member rmcellig]

Is it possible in jwm so that when I open any window it is centered on the screen? Thanks!!

I saw that already. I’m not sure what I should put in the .jwmrc file. If this is the file I need to modify.

Wow, I’m surprised this option needs to be specified because I thought centered placement was the default (implicit) behavior for JWM.

Try adding this stanza into the bottom of .jwmrc and see if it yields the desired result:

<Group>
<Class>.*</Class>
<Option>centered</Option>
</Group>

edited wording to clarify: why // because

Why are you surprised? I used to be able to figure these things out but I now have what’s known as chemo brain. This happens when you get constant chemotherapy treatments. Your thinking isn’t as focused has it should be.

Thanks for posting the syntax!! I will post back with the results!😀

Take care

chemotherapy treatments

As mentioned in #post-71743, I am currently receiving chemotherapy for neck cancer. My current+recent chemo medications include: Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Apixaban, 5-FU, Fluorouracil (aka Adrucil), Docetaxil (aka Taxotere), Filgrastim (aka Neupogen). Also, Erbitux monoclonal antibody (aka Cetuximab).
I’m slated to begin a 7wk course of daily (M-F) radiation treatments approx 9 days from now.

Sad news, sorry I was so short in my post. Cancer makes me shudder, two of my brothers went with it.

If helpers are told a bit more it makes it easier to distinguish why a person has issues with simple things.
The sad part is this has come about from persons who think it is funny to pose as new users and play with other
forum members

Post covid is also a cause of massive brain fog so we somehow have to calculate that in to the equasion.
I am not sure if I have just got used to it or partly recovered, vertainly no way near as capable as before.

Skidoo! I am truly sorry to hear about your cancer. My approach when I was diagnosed in 2005 an who lost many friends with my same cancer, multiple myeloma, I took it up myself to start doing marathons. I ended up doing ,12 and a half full marathons and over 30 half marathons. I met cancer patients along my way who were doing the same thing. Some worse than me. Doing these is helping me immensely while I go through my cancer treatments. I will make it a point to think of you while I’m out trading and doing these events. You will inspire me even more.

God bless you!😀❤️

I have tried antix so many times and always had issues. I just installed it today and I think FINALLY I am starting to gain respect for this distro! I always had issues with the samba tool. Is there another way to search for shares on my LAN? I am now using fstab to mount the shares I know about. This works great so do far things are looking up.

I’m a heavy user of fossapup and hopefully I will be able to get antix as close as possible to fossapup or whatever pup I am using.Thank God rox and jwm are part of antix as well as icewm. All of my computers are mini computers. I just recently replaced all six of my computers on my LAN. No laptops.

So I am curious:
If your plan is to make your antiX installation to be as close as possible to fossapup, what is there in antiX that makes you go into such trouble and not just use fossapup just as you did all along?

I like to have my private lan as once I was used in the win lan: every pc is both server and lan.
1. For that reason I set the samba server in the “traditional” debian way.
That means that I compile the smb.conf file according to the usual debian guidelines that you can find in every tutorial.
2. second point from the client I search in the lan with zzzfm: in the navigation bar you need to write the exact address of the share smb:/192.168.xxx.yyy/yourshare/
3. you write name and pw,et voilà, everything works

Because I like trying different things and so far one thing that antix has the fossapup doesn’t is easy Bluetooth setup. This works great for me in antix so that is a huge plus. Copy and pasting doesn’t work in antix specially using fsearch as an example.nthis app does not support drag and drop. You have to use the copy command and there doesn’t seem to be a paste command in rox. There is in fossapup so what I did was install pcmanfm. I like it better than spacefm. This worked fine. I can copy and then paste into a folder opened in pcmanfm. Also antix is based on debian.

Is the centered placement issue now SOLVED?

post #75731 onward should have merited a separate topic, bearing a topic title mentioning samba, eh

as a further, separate topic, discussion:
“Copy and pasting doesn’t work in antix specially using fsearch as an example.”
Yes, it does (or, said differently, it can)
The linux primary clipboard (aka primary selection) is available for use in antiX. Its usage and configuration are identical to nearly every other linux distro. For extra functionality within a desktop/gui context, same as any other distro… if you are not running a desktop environment which provides a clipboard manager component, you can install a clipboard manager utility program (e.g. debian packages: parcellite // clipit // copyQ). Specific to ROX-filer ~~ in fossapup, investigate how they achieve the custom copy command (an AppDir script?) and you can identically setup same in the ROX-filer of your antiX install. Natively, in antiX’s ROX-filer (same as when installed in other distros)… the expectation is that copy//move operations within ROX will be accomplished via drag-n-drop between multiple ROX-filer windows.

rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/book/export/html/6.html
The primary selection

If you’ve used X for a while, you’ll have discovered the middle-button-paste feature. This pastes the currently-selected text (not the clipboard!) to wherever you click. In particular, if you select some files in ROX-Filer then middle clicking into any application will paste the filenames. That includes:

Paste into Firefox’s address bar (or even just into the main window) to view that file.
Paste into an xterm to add a filename to a command.
Paste into a file Open dialog box for applications that don’t support drag-and-drop.

If you select something else in another window, ROX-Filer loses the primary selection (it shows the selection greyed out). To get it back, just click on any item in the greyed-out selection.

Tip: to select files quickly by glob, use . (period). For example, typing .png will instantly select all files ending in .png. With a bit of editing of the pattern with the cursor keys, you can select on other parts of the name (e.g., all files starting with test-).

I’m going to try this today and post back.😀

Thanks for all the info you provided in your last post. I use the mouse middle click all the time. It’s so handy! A clipboard manager is a great idea! I haven’t used one in a while.
