Openbox Logout

[konaexpress]

Thanks for the help Bigbass,

Now I know that this is going to sound dumb but...........what am I to do with this? Do I copy and paste it into a text file? And where do I put it? Better yet, what is it?

-John

Hey John
You asked this question

Can I make this file and download the hug-imports.bac file? I am running LXDE on CrunchBang, it is a Debian distro.

I posted a very complete automatic answer using a bash script

So now I will just focus on one small part of the script
how to down load and place the hug-imports.bac where it needs to go

The terminal and bash are your best linux friends to get work done

if you are running Debian now open a terminal / console if you are using LXDE you will also have lxterminal installed
but you should have xterm installed if its a real linux compatible system

open the terminal then select and paste this code inside the box into the terminal and press enter


*I used the quote instead of CODE because the forum adds the URL tag *

#make the directory
mkdir -p /usr/share/BaCon/

#change into the directory
cd /usr/share/BaCon/


# open xterm .Download using wget in a small terminal the file hug_imports.bac
xterm -geometry 40x30+150+40 -e wget www.basic-converter.org/hug_imports.bac

O' this is a bash script.....I have used them in the past but I have never looked at the text before. They were normally a file that I would call at the command line that came in the distro......or am I thinking of Python........can't say that I know the difference......got it.

Thanks for the clarification on this and I will try it now. Please forgive my ignorance about this subject, I have only started last month to embrace the command line as I am trying to learn to program.

If someone told me in the past to use the command line, I would just drop the subject and move on, can't do that any more now can I?

Thanks again. -John

OK,

After some trial and error, I got Xterm installed and ran the bash script in lxterm. It ran great!

Well........I mean it ran but the Xtern window popped up and closed so fast I could not read it for any error messages.

I ran my little app and got the same message, so I checked the BaCon folder (it installed) and found the "old" file and the md5sum file but no hug file.

I think I may have screwed something up again.

Thanks for the help, I might see if I can locate the file on the web and see if I can download it and copy/paste it to the BaCon file.

-John
EDIT: I found the hug_imports.bac file on the web. Do I just copy it to the folder? Looking at your script, it looks like something has to be changed in the Hug file?

This part:
# auto edit the hug_imports.bac
sed -i 's/\.\/hug.so/\/usr\/lib\/libhug.so/' hug_imports.bac

[bigbass]

Hey John
forget about my script for now you can do that a little at a time later
let's focus on getting something working



dont worry about # auto edit the hug_imports.bac
sed -i 's/\.\/hug.so/\/usr\/lib\/libhug.so/' hug_imports.bac

you will probably not use that for some time it was part of making HUG a shared lib
which is not needed for normal use forget about that extra option



this is the hug_imports.bac
www.basic-converter.org/hug_imports.bac



here are some other files you will may need in the future
www.basic-converter.org/stable/bacon.bash
www.basic-converter.org/stable/bacon.bac
www.basic-converter.org/hug.bac


for the app you want to make (the logout ) bash commands will be very important
and they have to be adjusted for BaCon so getting everything correct in bash
and using the terminal is a first step before BaCon

but you will enjoy bash its a beautiful thing

Thanks for that link to the Bash stuff, I will read it for sure.

This makes me think, are Bash scripts used allot in Linux?

Thanks, I am up and running now!

Now I can see that I did something wrong in my code. ;D cr@p!

Here is a little site I was working on to put my bacon projects. I wrote some instructions on how to install bacon and hug.

As far as your logout dialog goes, I did something similar for a debian based livecd

Since it uses sudo, you will have to edit the file /etc/sudoers to prevent it from asking for a password

ALL   ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown

It could also be adapted to include suspend and/or hibernate using pm-suspend and pm-hibernate. You will have to add them to the sudoers file as well

INCLUDE "hug.bac"

SUB shut_down

SYSTEM "sudo shutdown -h now"

ENDSUB

SUB restart

SYSTEM "sudo shutdown -r now"

ENDSUB

SUB cancel

QUIT

ENDSUB

HUGOPTIONS("TABLE 16 8")

mainwin = WINDOW("Shutdown", 300, 100)

mark1 = MARK("Choose Option", 6, 1)
ATTACH(mainwin, mark1, 5, 1)

button1 = BUTTON("Shutdown", 4, 2)
ATTACH(mainwin, button1, 1, 4)

button2 = BUTTON("Restart", 4, 2)
ATTACH(mainwin, button2, 6, 4)

button3 = BUTTON("Cancel", 4, 2)
ATTACH(mainwin, button3, 11, 4)

CALLBACK(button1, shut_down)
CALLBACK(button2, restart)
CALLBACK(button3, cancel)

@ 2lss

Hey thanks for that link!

I think I have BaCon up and running now but boy could I have used that page. Something like it should be on the main BaCon page titled "Dumb @ss Newbie, Start Here" for users like me. ;D

I fixed my code as I could and I can now compile it with no errors. This is a great step for me.

When I double click on it or try to run it from the command line, it will not work. Any ideas to get it up and running?

Here is what I did:
' open-box-logout.bac
' This program was made with BaCon @ www.basic-converter.org
' Thanks to all the guys that hang out in the BaCon forums
' for their help.


' Include the files for making a GUI.
INCLUDE "/usr/share/BaCon/hug_imports.bac"
INIT

' we want to "echo out" which button was pressed
' this could launch another app

'----------
SUB demo1()
'----------
   SYSTEM "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop"

   SYSTEM "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart"

Thanks for the help guys. -John

EDIT: This is the error message I get at the command line:
john@SeaDragon:~/projects/openbox-logout$ ./open-box-logout
Could not open library ./hug.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I replaced INCLUDE "/usr/share/BaCon/hug_imports.bac" with INCLUDE /usr/share/bacon/hug.bac"" (to make it compile on my system) and it worked (I rebooted my computer). I can run it either from the terminal or by clicking on it. It looks like everything works perfectly.

Thanks Tomaaz, that worked!

I am sitting here giggling like a little kid now.
