The installer will search the root of removable devices.

So put the diver(s) in / ? Define the path for me, as I've completely forgotten how I made it work 5 years ago.

It is some years ago I needed to use the function. i dont think I needed to mount the media (then a floppy). The instructions says "just insert".

6.4.1. Preparing a medium
Official CD images do not include non-free firmware. The most common method to load such firmware is from some removable medium such as a USB stick. Alternatively, unofficial CD builds containing non-free firmware can be found at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unoff … -firmware/. To prepare a USB stick (or other medium like a hard drive partition, or floppy disk), the firmware files or packages must be placed in either the root directory or a directory named /firmware of the file system on the medium. The recommended file system to use is FAT as that is most certain to be supported during the early stages of the installation.
Tarballs and zip files containing current packages for the most common firmware are available from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unoff … /firmware/
Just download the tarball or zip file for the correct release and unpack it to the file system on the medium.

It is also possible to set up Tint2 executors or buttons to run it, simulating a tray icon.

Actually, this is how I am using it. Like many things with computers what you are used to is efficient.

I like to have

gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0

in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini: legacy scrolling

I believe you can use another USB stick and put the firmware packages or files there and browse to them when prompted to install drivers.

Package nwipe https://github.com/martijnvanbrummelen/nwipe might bee handy for live session.

That could be useful for completely erasing disks securely prior to repartitioning, or booting the live session to wipe hard drives in the computer before either disposing of the disks or even to give the computer or drive to others.

Honestly, i like back to only openbox menu. Back to essence the openbox.

Jgmenu is unnecessary in my opinion.

Think that's already an option. Just select the Openbox Session rather than the BunsenLabs Session as default session at the login screen.

Of cource! From "From Introduction to the Bunsenlabs Lithium Desktop"

Window Manager Sessions
Bunsenlabs provides several options when logging in: A Bunsenlabs session, an Openbox session and a Default session (bunsenlabs-session).
These are set from the Settings icon at the top right of the login screen, and will persist for the next login.

So, if you choose openbos session, it will be default next time.

But, you wanted a basic menu...
When I used Helium, I prefered to add the Debian Menu to the openbox menu. Better with a dynamic menu than openbox basic static menu.

If you need help to configer openbox menu, ask in Basic Help & Support if you can not be content with jgmenu.

damo · 2021-01-15 21:41:16

I personally prefer a static menu, but the type-to-search feature of jgmenu is wonderful!

Yes I like it too as it brings a bit of the feel of the big boy DE's to Openbox. Even Tint2's got a little bit of eyecandy yet still keeping things pretty light and fast compared to the likes of KDE and GNOME.

A raw openbox session, without the BL customisations it used to have?
That's like saying "If you don't like hamburgers you can always eat grass".

I have been telling the BL team they shouldn't fall into the distro (or DE) trap. Because crunchbang was different in that respect. They did it anyhow, and I made my peace with it.
But my sympathies lean towards avoiding the unnecessary.
Not saying jgmenu isn't a great app though!
But too many people are all too unaware of what openbox can do all by itself.

Oh, and of course somebody from the devs team will be along shortly, saying jgmenu is future-proof because wayland etc. But that doesn't justify turning a lean openbox setup into a ... not-so-lean "custom desktop environment and session management" sort of thing.

Yes, that's true, some BL customation for the openbox session, would be nice.
