OpenBox and feh - do not work.

[valsorym]

Hi all,
I have a problem for OpenBox GUI and wallpapers.
I use graphics/feh.
It is my autostart.sh
~/.config/openbox/sutostart.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
feh --bg-scale “${HOME}/wallpapers/bincode.jpg” &

After reload my OpenBox I see image bincode.jpg in a window.
Image opens in a window, rather than as an image of your desktop.

I read the man pages for feh - all working. Why can not I?
There is some sort of alternative feh (pretty straightforward)?

 

[valsorym]

Yes, I know about Nitrogen. But feh You can configure the command line (or shell script).
But Nitrogen to first run the GUI.

Could try putting it in ~/.xinitrc as you could then start it before openbox.
Not sure about alternatives, there's x11/xsetroot but I think that may be for solid colours/bitmaps.

@doorways, it's very strange . There is similar string at the beginning my autostart.sh and feh works good for me . What if you try --bg-tile ?

Not sure about OpenBox, but I set my background from XDM. That way my login screen and login session look the same...

This is my feh entry in openbox autostart.sh to get the background to load. Maybe give this a shot. Also, you didn't mention if feh sets the background for your correctly when manually running the command.

if which feh >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  ( sleep 1 && feh --bg-scale $HOME/Wallpaper/Misc/wallpaper.png </dev/null &>/dev/null ) &
fi

Also, you didn't mention if feh sets the background for your correctly when manually running the command.

also run in a window ... Now try to run your version. Thank you.

My ~/.xinitrc

exec openbox-session

Surprisingly, the launching of a feh in root user - all works. I guess I created a user has insufficient permissions.

 

[valsorym]

Ok, I installed security/sudo and added in /usr/local/etc/sudoers

<USERNAME> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

- perhaps, for this you have to beat on his hands?
- but as for the other?

And write my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

sudo -s
feh --bg-scale "${HOME}/.wall/wall.jpg" &
tint2 &

All working.

But this is not right!
How to right?

Add
----------------
The reason is that it was not quite right that would create the file ~ /. fehbg

Hello doorways,

Do you install the latest version, OpenBOX 3.5.0 from the fresh port tree today?
Some configuration files' name and format have been changed.

Please read the following link for some tips if you are using OpenBox 3.5.0

Thank you zeissoctopus

You must have administrator rights.
If you do not.
I am creating a file ~ /.fehbg:

feh --bg-scale '/usr/home/<USERNAME>/wallpapers/myimg.jpg'

And adds to your ~/.xinitrc

...
eval `cat /usr/home/<USERNAME>/.fehbg` &
exec openbox-session

Although enough the first time using feh to run sudo!
Thank you all! Locked!
