@Naik many thanks for your careful checking!
This kind of detailed bug reporting is really appreciated.

You'r welcome!

It's true that we noticed the Lithium bunsen-os-release issue (changes from stretch to buster) a while ago, but it had been laid aside... It will have to be fixed before the Lithium release though, because it affects how the distribution is presented in the grub menu.

Don't hesitate. It is all good for now and the simple fact that some of us (well, me) are a little impatient, shouldn't bother you all.

Will it be possible to upgrade form Helium to Lithium? I see there is still no official ISO for Debian10 and I'm at the brink of reinstalling Bunsenlabs. I don't like the fact that it will be an old version of Debian though, so I'm thinking of waiting a little while untill the new version comes out. OR, I could reinstall Helium and upgrade afterwards, if that is possible.

dist-upgrade helium to buster (semi-official)

As stated erlier, I did so.

Also: BL-helium to BL-lithium (forum post on BL forum).

The test wallpaper is now in bunsen-images 10.2-1 as BL-Lithium.png and BL-Lithium-logo-only.png.

Higher definition and different aspect ratio versions will arrive later, this is just a taste.

The new provisional themes are also in bunsen-themes 10.0.3-1. They will also likely be tweaked a bit.

Assuming this is not the final thing/look, or with other words, what parts can I 'comment/try to fix'?

jgmenu
- Starting to type to find 'tint2 chooser' and it doesn't (assuming due to the fact those are pipe-menus).

default tint2 (assuming this is final one)
- Power button seems big compared to other elements
possible fix, tint2rc, line 254

button_max_icon_size = 20

- Padding between launcher buttons seems to small compared to tray icons.
- Bunsen jgmenu logo could be a pixel or two bigger
possible fix, tint2rc, lines 234-237

button_padding = 0 0
button_background_id = 0
button_centered = 1
button_max_icon_size = 100

- There is no clear separation between launcher and taskbar, slightly confusing (No launchers on ^ that image)
- Middle mice brings some openbox menu, instead of killing the app (subjective)
fix, in tint2rc, line 199

mouse_middle = close

lxterminal
- No way to change line-height (unfixable at the moment)
- Font seems small and fuzzy
possible fix: another font and bigger (Fantasque Sans Mono Regular 12 - seems nice and in repos)
- Default prompt gives no indication on exit status (should provide something on error)
Silly example

# promp error
smiley()                                                                       
{
    if [ $? != 0 ]; then
		echo ':( '
	else
		echo ':) '
    fi
}

and prompt could be (there is many 'ifs' there, not sure how to handle those)

PS1='$(smiley)${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

gives

:) b@lithium:~$ sdfsdf
bash: sdfsdf: command not found
:( b@lithium:~$

Let's implement
- Right-mouse-hold-down scroling (starts from openbox autostart), window resizing should not be alt+right mouse from then on.
- fzf installed and on by default (interesting ctrl+r and ctrl+t hotkeys in terminal), apt install fzf and this in .bashrc

# fzf /usr/share/doc/fzf/README.Debian
source /usr/share/doc/fzf/examples/key-bindings.bash

to be continued ...

Just installed the Lithium repo next to my Buster XFCE installation

Here are my remarks
- My graphics run on AMD, but the installation of the intel graphics messed with LightDM. As a result, LightDM would not start. Turned out to be a problem with Xorg (no screens found). I fixed this by removing the 20-intel.conf file under xorg.conf.d
Extra info from output of lspci:

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Carrizo (rev ca)
   Subsystem: Lenovo Wani [Radeon R5/R6/R7 Graphics]
   Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
   Kernel modules: amdgpu

- The jgmenu looked very minimalistic (plain color, margins too close to each other)
what is the recommended way to change this? Changing the theme in appearance did not influence this. Is it supposed to look this way on a fresh install? sorry, don't have a screenshot available right now..

I've had problem with Radeon HD 4250. I think its busters firmware that is buggy...

Yes, it is supposed to be minimalistic, but configurable.
Under Preferences => Jgemenu, you can choose to sync theme to jgemnu.
Also choose to edit config file jgmenurc.

Mea culpa. This fixes graphics issues on my system but causes problems in others. We're removing it and will recommend it to users as needed.

If syncing the theme doesn't produce the desired result, you'll have to manually alter the config file. @malm can give you more info..

So when is Lithium comming out? I already upgraded my base to Buster, but haven't changed to use this new PPAs yet.

hhh · 2019-10-05 01:48:38

When it's ready.

We'll have a 64bit public (forum) testing ISO out soon, within a month. Hopefully sooner, but, you know, life...

dolly · 2019-10-05 07:18:24

^Yes, life...comes with surprises sometimes, thanks for the time perspctive anyway.

kozimodo · 2019-10-08 18:16:11

Lithium is looking great -- installed on a KVM machine and have been tweaking the jgmenu configuration with malm's help.

manyroads · 2019-10-08 18:34:32

Just a thought on the current experimental Lithium version (I am running on MX19b3, also experimental)... I added Head_on_a_stick' obmenu-generator repackage/rebuild for Buster. It works wonderfully. You may wish to include it in a future update. I found it here:

https://software.opensuse.org/download. … -generator

hhh · 2019-10-09 23:36:44

obmenu-generator is easily available and easily implemented, as you've discovered, and it's a great option (I've used it before).

We're focused on jgmenu for lithium, but feel free to recommend obmenu-generator as an option in general, and especially in relevant support threads here. Thanks for the suggestion!

When Lithium goes from testing to stable, will the changes in the source list be handled through an update? Or will it require manual intervention by the user?

johnraff · 2019-10-13 07:40:19

^The BunsenLabs sources will have to be edited manually to use the "official" repository.
It's only one line in one file though, and we'll try to post it prominently.

manyroads · 2019-10-13 13:20:00

Along similar lines @johnraff. Will the updated Lithium repos continue to work with other dstros like MX and antiX, as they do today?

@johnraff, thank you for the swift response. I am thinking of expanding Lithium to my work laptop to be, it might be a little bit early yet, but who dares wins!

Well, I am not worried really, it is Debian stable after all. And yes, I do understand that it is all on my own risk.
