Moving over from #!

snowice0 · 2015-10-04 00:10:05

I have been using #! for a while and im really glad that I magically had my startup page changed when updating.

I have a serious [noob] question

How can I make the transfer from #! to Hydrogen? If possible I would like to keep all my settings and everything.
Is there anything special I need to do or is it all being covered?

Thanks!
Snow

perhaps I will wait a bit to see if there is an officially sanctioned conversion method. Considering I'm ill right now I dont want to do too much

There is no easy way to convert #! to BL, in fact it is not recommended (it was the same for Statler to Waldorf). BunsenLabs is not designed to be an upgrade to Crunchbang, but a continuation of the philosophy, and with the default looks and functionality.

You can backup your user configs, and put some of them back into a fresh BunsenLabs installation. There are many new scripts and pipemenus, so you will be better off using new versions of files such as menu.xml anyway.

I doubt there will ever be an "officially sanctioned conversion method", although users may perhaps come up with a step-by-step procedure. It will still be easier to install from scratch and add some of your own configs. Waldorf is based on Wheezy, which will be supported for a few years yet though.

At the moment I don't see any glitch free method for this. Probably sometime later someone might come up with near perfect method but I guarantee that it is not going to be a straight forward method. The best method that is possible now is to comment out Waldorf repos in sources list, make changes in sources list to follow Wheezy proper and delete preferences list. You can port stuff from BL by using their repos but should be done with care and case to case basis.

It depends on what settings you'd want to keep?

there's a thread about converting crunchbang to debian jessie (i don't remember whether here or on crunchbang forums).
i did that on an old laptop, and it's fine; the only problem is that the cb-exit script won't work anymore.
that's no biggie; the commands have changed i guess (because systemd).
from there it's just a few more steps to make it bunsenlabs.
that's the beauty of this distro: it's so simple, so minimal.
i doubt there will ever be "the officially sanctioned method" for doing this, so roll up your sleeves and start hacking!

^ Try this, if you like. It works for me in Arch too.

#!/usr/bin/env python2

    main()

I would seriously consider a new install. Make a thorough list of the settings, back up stuff, and smile
