BunsenLabs Hydrogen ARM edition?

jalfonsi · 2018-12-30 09:10:20

I've just checked Kali website. As far as I know Kali is rolling release. They provide arm images and also a very recent experimental 64 bit for Raspberry. There's also a very interesting post with Openbox optimization
https://www.kali.org/tutorials/my-custo … tribution/
So maybe a rolling release arm image for Raspberry with BL Openbox...it would be really fancy.

Hello, I have successfully installed Bunsenlabs Helium packages (all with architecture 'all') on top of a minimal Openbox setting with roxterm-gtk3 terminal, geany and pcmanfm running on Raspbian Lite Stretch (through PINN online installer which is a great commodity for writing your chosen system to SD card). Then I added Synaptic and Gdebi and other missing packages (xfce4-screenshooter) so that menu launchers could work. Only jgmenu for armhf is missing. I'm willing to introduce it to my students next year because it allows no distractions from coding.
It would be nice that BL developers could provide a script that downloads BL keyring, adds BL repos to sources.list and installs automatically all required packages to have a fully working BL Raspbian flavour. This could be easily applied also to forthcoming Raspbian Buster with Lithium as well as to other architecture (see arm64 for Pine Book for instance).

I'd love to see a screenshot of your desktop!

BTW, there is a build for RaspEx build for several Raspberry models that was built by someone else that uses a combination of Ubuntu and BunsenLabs Helium...

Pure Debian magic!
Actually it's a photo but I don't see here how to upload photos to posts...

You need to post a link to an image host. Many of us here use scrot.moe

Thanks!!

The openSUSE Build Service will build armhf binaries for Stretch, if any are needed. It's called "armv71" there, but the packages come out as armhf.

I still can't get pbuilder or sbuild to do it in Stretch.

After uploading your image, scroll down the embed codes and copy/paste the thumbnail link in your post. Like this...

Of course packages which are architecture 'all' (most of our packages) will work. When using these on ARM, you'll not get updates to tint2, jgmenu and the flashplayerplugin fix for Firefox which be now are shipping but otherwise you'd be fine.

I just recompiled jgmenu, tint2 and flashplayerplugin from deb sources in the BL deb repository using dpkg-buildpackage and I got deb packages generated for armhf!
So it should be quite easy for BL Lithium as well with next Raspbian Buster.

Hi all. I have a suggestion. Given that Raspbian was updated just one month ago, what about adding Openbox and Bunsenlabs ARM package repos to it and having a nice iso for Raspberry Pi? Of course with official BL customization. Kali Linux already provides images for Raspberry...don't know however if they're rolling release
Binary packages from BL Helium + Stretch-Backports are not available for Debian ARM archs at the moment because the pbuilder crosscompiling scripts for that were/are broken in Debian 9. I can look again sometime but I don't think it got fixed.

I've just managed to get pbuilder on a Stretch base to build armhf and arm64 packages by adding this to my ~/.pbuilderrc file:

if [ "$ARCH" == "armhf" ] && [ "$(dpkg --print-architecture)" != "armhf" ]; then
    DEBOOTSTRAP="/usr/sbin/qemu-debootstrap"
    PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt"
fi

if [ "$ARCH" == "arm64" ] && [ "$(dpkg --print-architecture)" != "arm64" ]; then
    DEBOOTSTRAP="/usr/sbin/qemu-debootstrap"
    PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt"
fi

Since we at MX Linux have received some tenders from a inexpensive arm64 laptop maker about a spin for their machine.

$ARCH comes from the build command, adapted from this instructional:
https://jodal.no/2015/03/08/building-ar … -pbuilder/

OS=debian DIST=stretch ARCH=armhf pdebuild --debbuildopts "-jauto"&& exit

Woot!

These are very good news! Last month I bought that inxepensive arm64 laptop myself, too. Armbian already provides command line iso for that, so one needs only to put BL packages on top of that!

where is the "Like" button? I was thinking about an arm64 lappy myself...

Hi all,

Just letting you know I started a new topic about Lithium ARM edition. Hope we can make it even more popular :-)
