Actually, the isos are not yet hosted on BunsenLabs servers - that will come with the official release.

Wifi woes (reported by a spanish user in the spanish Bunsenlabs G+ community):
In several laptops (Toshiba A300, Acer Aspire One and others) when trying to connect to the wifi, the SSID is found but never gets connected.
Any reported trouble like this one?.
Regards,
Jes.

Someone else needs to look at this if they can, I've never bothered with obmenu and don't really have the desire to learn. I'm fairly anti-menu, unless you mean something like dmenu. I have 2 items left in my helium right-click menu, Preferences and System (aka Things I don't need to mess with much).

Do you mean the message it outputs when installed, or is there some issue when you try to run it? If the former, it's just a warning that the old deprecated command syntax will not be supported. http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Execute That warning has in fact been present since the days of CrunchBang.

Could be the MAC issue that's been reported over at fdn:

It would be good to know what wifi chipsets are built into the troublesome notebooks. With lspci you can find out the exact details. Also see: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI

Helium has been so solid for me that I nearly forgot that I was running with an Alpha spin! I should probably update my sources and apt-update && apt-upgrade.

Sure, I already requested him to do a "sudo lspci -nn | grep -i network", awaiting feedback.
Some Realtek chips have given trouble in the past.

Greetings to the BunsenLabs community.

Only now I realize that the beta 1 has been released. I hope this post can still be useful, even if it refers to the alpha 6.

I installed BunsenLabs Alpha 6 (in multiboot with other distributions) about three-four weeks ago and I'm using it daily. In the last days of March I updated with the command "apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs".
I have not noticed any malfunctions, except for the integration with some programs: LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird.
Firefox and Thunderbird have not been installed through repositories: I use the TAR.BZ2 downloaded from the Mozilla site, saved in a partition accessible to all distributions so I can work with any installed distribution and use Firefox and Thunderbird with the same profile.
With the other distributions (all derived Debian / Ubuntu) there is no problem, while with BunsenLabs some things do not work.

*Firefox: missing the right sidebar for scrolling the page. Scrolling works, but you do not see the sidebar segment you are dragging.
Moreover, it is almost impossible to select the text for copy-paste (with the mouse or with shift + arrow): the text is selected, but it is not highlighted, as if it had not been selected.

*Firefox and Thunderbird: missing outlines to the boxes to be completed or checked, even for online forms (such as the BunsenLabs site login form).

*LibreOffice: the outlines to the boxes to make the choice are missing. For example, it is impossible to open the drop-down menu of the fonts and its size.

If you need some additional information, ask me.

I would ascribe these problems to the theme in use — the BL-He themes are designed to work with Gtk3 v3.22 and you have installed newer versions of programs that probably expect a newer version of Gtk3.

You could try installing a third-party theme that works with whichever Gtk version is used by your programs but there is little we can do to help you from this end, sorry.

Thanks for your reply.

I use Firefox 59.0.2, Thunderbird 52.7.0 and LibreOffice 5.2.7.2.
The latter was installed from the repository (see the first screenshot), so it is the same version that anyone has to install if wants to use LibreOffice. Do I have to assume that all of you will have the same difficulties with LibreOffice?
Furthermore, this issue is also linked to the use of other programs that are usually installed. For example, the password request window to run Synaptic shows the same problem (see the second screenshot).

Thanks for your help.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-04-12 18:42:45

@artux: which themes are you actually using?

The output of this command will show for sure:

grep gtk-theme ~/{.gtkrc-2.0,.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini}

I must admit that I haven't actually tried LO in Helium (I prefer texlive), sorry :8

vinzv · 2018-04-12 18:43:43

For me with Bunsen-He Gtk and Openbox theme activated that Synaptic dialog looks okay:

I suspect there's some issue with the Gtk theme.

artux · 2018-04-12 22:44:04

Thanks to Head_on_a_Stick and vinzv for your suggestions. I think I've solved the problem.
The theme I was using was Raleigh.

$ grep gtk-theme ~/{.gtkrc-2.0,.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini}
/home/artux/.gtkrc-2.0:gtk-theme-name="Raleigh"
/home/artux/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:gtk-theme-name=Raleigh

Now I'm using the theme that uses vinzv

$ grep gtk-theme ~/{.gtkrc-2.0,.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini}
/home/artux/.gtkrc-2.0:gtk-theme-name="Bunsen-He"
/home/artux/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:gtk-theme-name=Bunsen-He

and "magically" everything works, both Firefox/Thunderbird and LibreOffice!

For now I have not tried other themes, but apparently the Raleigh theme has some problems.
By the way, what is the default BunsenLabs theme? I remember I changed it choosing Raleigh, but I do not remember what it was.

If you need some additional information, for example about my hardware, to accurately identify the issue, ask me.

Thank you

The stock files can be found in /usr/share/bunsen/skel/ so this should tell you:

grep gtk-theme /usr/share/bunsen/skel/{.gtkrc-2.0,.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini}

The default theme for Bunsenlabs Helium is called Beam
