Fix for JWMDesk in container

May 10, 2021 — BarryK

Forum member 'williwaw' reported an error in JWMDesk when click on "Icons layout":

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=24931#p24931

JWMDesk was created by forum member 'radky' and is a great little GUI for configuring the JWM window manager. It is found in the "Desktop" menu.

The error actually occurs in /usr/local/desksetup/desksetup.sh, which was written by forum member '01micko'. This line in the script fails:

ROXRUNNING=`busybox ps|grep -a "/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin"|grep -av "grep"`

Rox is started in a container with parameters "-n -p", so the script needs to be modified:

ROXRUNNING=`busybox ps|grep -a "/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer -n -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin"|grep -av "grep"`

I have added this little hack in the 'dir2sfs' script.
