Ive finally bunsened openbsd. I was going to use obmenu-generator but that fails with the perl version in openbsd, anyone else had luck with it in a bsd? I instead used the menu.xml from bunsenlabs and modified it to openbsd.

Most excellent.

That was my first thought as well. Either that means it is fantastic that we have the software and skills to do it, or the world has got to a scary place
It's real.
why's that scary?
I like it. Stranger than fiction. What would life be without reality.

not openbsd, but i used to have perl version trouble too, with obmenu-generator.
troubleshooting: run it from command line, show us some output etc. you know the drill.
and which versions?

@SL.7
I've been playing with OpenBSD too lately - not to replace my BunsenLabs setup, but on an old laptop.
I didn't go as far as you have in terms of labifying it I just copied the most essential dotfiles across.
It's been an interesting journey of discovering what commands/services/etc are Linux specific.

@ Dobbie, thanks.
@ ohnonot, i followed this quide here to set up obmenu-generator --> https://sysdfree.wordpress.com/2018/02/15/165/
The output says it needs some GDBM module but the perl openbsd uses is not built with it and i have no idea how to rebuild perl with that module file, you cant just install it via cpan ive googled it.
This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 3 (v5.24.3) built for amd64-openbsd
Copyright 1987-2017, Larry Wall
s7 :: ~ » obmenu-generator -p -i
[*] A dynamic menu has been successfully generated!
s7 :: ~ » obmenu-generator
Can't locate GDBM_File.pm in @INC (you may need to install the GDBM_File module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/amd64-openbsd /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/libdata/perl5/amd64-openbsd /usr/libdata/perl5 .) at /usr/bin/obmenu-generator line 441.
And you know what I just lost the menu.xml file i modified today from the bunsenlabs one cause i didnt back it up before throwing that command, damnit!
Anyhow, the line in the obmenu-generator file on line 441 says below.
441: require GDBM_File;
442: tie my %cache_db, 'GDBM_File', $cache_db, &GDBM_File::GDBM_WRCREAT, 0640;
EDIT:
I tried updating cpan from the cpan shell but still throws this info at me...
cpan[4]> install GDBM_File
Running install for module 'GDBM_File'
The most recent version "1.17" of the module "GDBM_File"
is part of the perl-5.28.1 distribution. To install that, you need to run
force install GDBM_File --or--
install S/SH/SHAY/perl-5.28.1.tar.gz
Failed during this command:
SHAY/perl-5.28.1.tar.gz : make NO isa perl
?
@malm it is a bit of a learning curve openbsd if you come from linux, ive been poking away at it for awhile now and seem to have learned the basics. Would be nice to put it on my laptop but openbsd dont play well with my nvidia card.
Here is a few handy links if you have set your ports tree up to build packages from source,
http://www.bsdua.org/tray-app.html --> you dont need to download install anythink from this page, if you have ports set up its in ports/sysutils
http://www.bsdua.org/hotplug-diskmount.html --> same with this one.
This is a good link to get your ports tree up and running if you havent --> https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/openbsd-i … ollection/
Mods if this is offtopic for this part of the forum ill create a thread elsewhere?

Nevermind i figured it out ohnonot!
I tried looking around in the openbsd ports tree and under /usr/share/ports/databases there is a build file called p5-GDBM_file, so built that and run obmenu-generator -p -i again and openbox --reconfigure and it worked!

I haven't used xfce in a while. I'm loving the fuzzy clock setting for the panel.

I'm not sure I like XFCE. It feels....I dunno...half done?

My thoughts exactly. Its functionality is excellent, but the presentation is....not quite ready?

Yeah exactly what I couldn't put into words. Yes, you can make it look amazing but like many DE's the vanilla setup is average at best.
