NAME
       bl-xdg-autostart - a script provided by bunsen-configs

DESCRIPTION
#       /usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory
### etc
A few other 'man bl-something-something' worked OK.
Is this some sort of bug during creation of the bl-something-something packages?

Yes that's what it is. The man pages are auto-generated when the packages are built from source, and a couple of the python scripts throw errors because some necessary library is not available at build time. They should all (2 or 3?) be fixable by the time we do the official release. But thanks, and I'll make sure it's on the TODO list.

EDIT: just saw your list (thank you for checking!) and had no idea so many man pages were broken like that. In some cases the scripts should be tweakable to output the --help message and exit before the missing library is called, in other cases, just add a package to the build-deps.

I don't understand this. Is there some misstyping?
Did you spare $HOME forsecond installation?

No
Both times were superimposed on each other

On the keybindings list in the conky there is:

Super     Main Menu

which works, and you also have the Super + Space keybinding for the main menu.

Seems redundant to have two. Personally, I would keep the Super + Space binding and edit the conky. Drop the Super key only binding.

Everything works out of the box on a Toshiba Laptop - well done, Toshibas are kind of finicky with Linux.

The way the Super-only binding works (xcape) means that the super-space binding has to exist too. The one-key menu was added for convenience, but you can edit or disable it in ~/.config/bunsen/autostart, this section:

    ## Alias Super key to Super+Space for single-key menu.
    ## See 'man xcape' for other possibilities.
    xcape -e 'Super_L=Super_L|space'

If you disable it, then you can remove xcape too of course.

^ Cool

The live session runs really smooth. Nice work.

I agree -- looks like it has everything I'd want in a live session. (I plan to keep Lithium on a flash drive.) I've tried it on a couple of different laptops so far; haven't found any problems yet. The live session boots very quickly, too. Excellent job on this, folks!

Wait till you install it and see the new transition from login-to-desktop. Our autostart and themes are on point for an alpha ISO.

i tested this today very minimally, i did find an issue with the setting the themes in lxappearance, the gtk theme for yeti would not set in the live session. Obconf would also set the window decor but not the root menu.

Shortkeys Ctrl+Shift+q to start xbindkeys_show, to show shortkeys does not work.
Menuchoise "Dispaly Keybinds" > Display keybinds in *, works.

Command "xbindkeys_show, in terminal return: "/usr/bin/xbindkeys_show 3: exec: wish: not found"

Tested in virtual machine and it is beautiful! Love Lithium and especially Lithium Light which was just spot on. Added backports (Debian, not Bunsenlabs) and that worked perfectly.

Agreed, I'm very happy with BL-Lithium-light. I think BL-Lithium just needs a lighter background color for the Openbox/jgmenu theme for a bit more contrast. I don't know though, I'm using it as-is and I like it.

Just about to install and will give some feedback.
Once the official ISO is released, can this test installation be fully updated?

The default root menu? I could be wrong here, but BL is using jgmenu now so Obconf won't impact that. But I kind of lost the plot on the direction they were going with jgmenu when I got busy with other stuff.

Probably when the official release hits the scene. Definitely curious to see the final product.

jgmenu needs the OB theme refreshed.

menu -> Preferences -> jgmenu -> Sync Theme with Openbox

Ok so its all jgmenu now, even the right click menu. That worked but the gtk theme seems ok for most other apps except for thunar in the live session which stays the same and wont change to yeti for me.

^ That's because thunar is running in daemon mode and won't show any new gtk changes from lxappearance. You need to do "killall thunar" then open it up.

Note if you kill thunar daemon it won't auto open removable volumes after that. Unless you rerun it in daemon mode.

Thanks, you've found a bug in ~/.xbindkeysrc. The xbindkeys_show item should have been commented out because we no longer ship the necessary tk package by default. It's a bit big (7MB install with dependencies) for an app to prettify the content of .xbindkeysrc, which is easy enough to read as-is, and we also have the keybinds display pipemenu as you say. (Maybe we should move or copy that pipemenu entry to Preferences>Keybinds?)

We should add this to the eventual release notes perhaps:
Anyone who wants to use xbindkeys_show should install tk and uncomment the entries in ~/.xbindkeysrc and ~/.config/jgmenu/prepend.csv.

Yes, but the BL repository URL in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list will have to be updated to the official repo. We'll post a note about that when the official iso comes out.
