rc.xml Shortcut keybindings in Openbox

Hi There..

The Shortcuts menu keys on your openbox Desktop Session configured by editing the file rc.xml found under $HOME/.config/openbox/rc.xml and will be invoked every time you login to your openbox Desktop Session.

The Standard file is located under /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml, which will overwritten on a new install.
rc.xml is XML file with a Set of Standard Tags which are self explanatory.

You will need to Edit this file ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml using your favorite editor by going to the <keyboard> section of this file and start adding your custom key combinations and invoke the executables.

Below are some Examples from my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

<keybind>

  <action name="name">

    <command>"command"</command>

  </action>

</keybind>



    <keybind key="W-space">

      <action name="ShowMenu">

        <menu>root-menu</menu>

      </action>

    </keybind>



    <keybind key="W-Tab">

      <action name="ShowMenu">

        <menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu>

      </action>

    </keybind>



  <keybind key="W-x">

      <action name="Execute">

        <startupnotify>

          <enabled>true</enabled>

          <name>Logout</name>

        </startupnotify>

        <command>cb-exit</command>

      </action>

    </keybind>

 

*> Here W is also referred as the Super Key or just the Windows Logs Key on your PC.

For More information on how to configure your custom keybindings Visit #!wiki page here page and Bindings help here.

I have uploaded the Standard keybind Entries of rc.xml file here. So, that you can copy and paste it to your openbox rc.xml, To effect the changes Logout and then Login back and now you can enjoy your new keybinding Shortcut Changes And Get Lazy.

Hope This Helps!

Now going about installing the Guest addition Package,
Download the Oracle Vbox extension package from here

To fireup the Extension menu usethe key combination (CTRL+G)
Navigate through File--> Preferences-->Extensions.
















Once downloaded It can be browsed from the downloaded location usually in one's Download Directory `$HOME/Downloads`

Browse the Downloaded extension package and
proceed with self explanatory installation procedure.

















This completes the VirtualBox Extension Pack installation

                                                                               

The Download can be launched from Menu bar, Devices-->Install Guest Additions..

(HOST keys+D)




The extension package will be downloaded to .VirtualBox Directory in one's home directory `$HOME`

Alternatively one can install the extension package from host machine's cli as below:

root@cb-DOC:~# cd .VirtualBox/
root@cb-DOC:~/.VirtualBox# mkdir /root/vboxext; mount -t iso9660 VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.18.iso /root/vboxext
root@cb-DOC:~/.VirtualBox# cd root/vboxext/

Small tutorial on how to Build and install from *.tar tarball files

.tar also known as tarball, an archive format for electronic data and software. Most Linux tarball contains a source code for software. If you are new to Linux I recommend using apt-get, rpm and yum command to install all binary packages.

Tarballs are a group of files in one file. Tarball files have the extension .tar.gz, .tgz or .tar.bz2. Most open source software use tarballs to distribute programs/source codes.
# 1: Uncompress tarball

To uncompress them, execute the following command(s) depending on the extension:

$ tar zxf file.tar.gz

$ tar zxf file.tgz

$ tar jxf file.tar.bz2

$ tar jxf file.tbz2

Now change directory

$ ls

$ cd path-to-software/

# 2: Build and install software

Generally you need to type 3 commands as follows for building and compiling software:

$ sudo ./configure

$ sudo make

$ sudo make install

./configure will configure the software to ensure your system has the necessary functionality and libraries to successfully compile the package
make will compile all the source files into executable binaries.
Finally, make install will install the binaries and any supporting files into the appropriate locations.

# 3: Read INSTALL / README file

Each tarball comes with installation and build instructions. Open INSTALL or README file for more information:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header

E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_restricted_binary-i386_Packages

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Here's what you need to do..

wiz@wiz-PC:/var/lib/apt$ sudo mv lists/ lists.old

wiz@wiz-PC:/var/lib/apt$ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial

wiz@wiz-PC:/var/lib/apt$ sudo apt-get update

You can now delete the lists.old. In case you require to generate a complete new Ubuntu source.lst file use the Ubuntu Sources List Generator
