Openbox can not log out

Basic Help & Support
#1

Hi Archlabbers!
Installed Archlabs on my third old box. Everything seemed to be alright but I can not log out from Openbox the usual way! The rofr.sh script is nowhere to be found. Can I find that somewhere and where do I place it?

Look in ~/bin

Not on ArchLabs, I think it’s rofi_run.

rofi_run -l

for exit dialog box.

Strange! I have no ~/bin! I was wondering if there is somewhere I can download it? And then place it in ~/bin ?

That’s not good. You can create your own ~/bin and copy the files over from /etc/skel

Hopefully that’s the only glitch.

Ok. Should I copy the whole folder (etc)/skel or just the files in skel?

Well I copied the content of skel to my new ~/bin folder and did a reboot. I get the same message. “rofr.sh can not be found”. Did a search and rofr.sh is nowhere to be found on this computer.

You only needed to copy the contents of /etc/skel /bin (I think that’s right, I don’t have a computer with me right now). If you copied the entire contents of /etc/skel your $PATH will be messed up.

Which iso did you use for the install? And did you restore some openbox configs from backup after install?

To solve this specific issue, try and do it manually. Create a rofr.sh in ~/bin with this content: https://privatebin.net/?993c0def4679027b#0iWrvobrNIGKySCRsm9tqDfo963DIA9yonpka8qzLYs=

Then run in terminal rofr.sh -l.

This should work, I guess? Let me know if it did.

Hi again I used the iso from jan 19. I did not restore any openbox configs. I installed on a different computer.

Followed your manual guide and the terminal command ended with “command not found”! How do I set ~/bin to my PATH? That could be the problem right?

womp

#11

cd ~/bin in your terminal, then try rofr.sh -l again.
If the script works then, I guess it really is a path issue?

Also, I have [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] && PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" in my .xprofile which should be what you are looking for path-wise?

It should be already set for Archlabs.

In a terminal what is the output of below?

$PATH

$PATH is set right! rofr.sh -l in terminal gives “command can not be found”. I do not understand why.

#14

if you copy and paste files in the teminal with -l
starts

/home/don/bin/rofr.sh -l

to me he works.

edit
it is in the terminal that does not work with rofr.sh
and does he find it, I think something is missing

#15

I tried to “drag” the script-file and drop it on xfce-terminal and add “-l” after. Then the script worked!

#16

…but running the “W-x” combination still gives the same error.

womp

#17

paste this in your .xprofile

if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ]; then
    PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
fi

logout, and try

You may need to edit the rc.xml file with the full path to the command.

:smile: Ector solved it? My earlier comment about the .xprofile file was not correct then? :smile:
But I am glad it worked.
