Two littel tools for volume control and a openbox shutdown management

FightRight · 2008-02-18 16:47:34

Hello there,

i have written two python scripts for volume control and shutdown management.

The volume control script require that you have to install aumix, PyGtk and GTk. In my case i start it with my Openbox session.
For this you need an entry in the autostart script from openbox. You find it on your system under ~./config/openbox/autostart.sh

Add this line with the right path to this script.
/path/to/your/script/vol.py &

And now you can use it with every openbox session

Ok at next i have written a shutdown script for openbox. What you need on your system is the sudo program. If you have it installed you
need the following entry in your /etc/sudoers file with the right username.

# shutdown and reboot for defined users
yourUserName ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown

On my system i have made a little icon in pypanel from that i open the menu. You can see this in the video below.

OK that it is.I hope you have fun with these scripts.

Download:

volume_control.tar.bz2
shutdown_box.tar.bz2

Here are the shots and a small video to show you the behavior.

I know this is a little old, but just want to say I tried this with openbox and it is just what I was looking for! It doesn't use much ram, and is a great volume control, which was much needed for my setup

Thanks a lot !

neat
what about PKGBUILD?

gothmog.todi · 2008-03-04 22:28:16

great stuff
a suspend button in the shutdown box would be nice

dedioste · 2008-03-05 08:11:12

Shutdown_box is exactly what i was looking for.
Tried it yesterday night on my box and it was a charm.
Thank you!

I've been trying to use your volume_control, but I seem to have a problem with aumix, as the sound only mutes on the front channel, I'm lacking the pcm channel that should control the volume for all the other channels

faelar · 2008-03-24 16:54:56

A smaller version of the gui
FightRight, there is a problem when I clic on the [X] at the top of the window. I ran your script from the terminal, and I had to do ctrl+c after that.

s26c.sayan · 2008-03-29 20:23:06

Shutdown_box is nice.
Is there anything you could do to keep it 'always on top' of all other windows and/or. prevent it from losing focus?

I had done a similar script using wxpython which stayed on top, but I'd prefer pygtk to wxpython!

FightRight · 2008-03-30 15:32:33

Ok thank you for all your comments and compliments. I have been very busy thats the reason why im answering so late. Excuse me for that

shutdown-box-0.1
I have a new version online for shutdown-box. Try it out

@s26c.sayan
The new version of the shutdown box stays on top. I hope that is what you want.

@faelar
I have insert a delete-event. Now if you click [x] the box close without any problems.

@c3l5o
The problem is that i have only two speakers and not a souround system. I implement only a control for the master channel not for the pcm channel.

If anyone have further problems let me know this i try to find a solution for that.

Best regards

Markus

Excellent! I will be adding this to my awesome status bar.

zenlord · 2008-06-06 15:38:00

Thank you! I'm using the shutdown box right now.

timetrap · 2008-06-11 19:30:03

I added a pm-hibernate command and button to your original. I have it linked to my awesomewm icon in the upper right hand corner. It needs a little GUI work though . . .

Does anyone have a working link for the shutdown box?
I've used a few months back, and now that im back into linux the link is dead x.x *sad*

Here is the script I use for that, written in PyGtk too.

the link isn't quite dead.

It now opens a directory listing..... and it's not that hard to find where the files have moved.

Razien · 2008-11-28 02:51:56

iphitus,
just checked now... you're right. It seems to be back online, it just happens that when I posted was offline.
I figured that since it had passed a few months, it would be normal for the link to be off.

Thanks for the heads up.

The original author seems to have parked his domain - all links lead to crappy ads
