Boron alpha 1 iso available for testing and feedback

johnraff · 2023-07-18 07:47:59

There are still some issues to fix, and multiple corners that need polishing, but this iso will give you an idea of what the Boron release is goig to look like:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bunsen … hybrid.iso
sha256 checksum: ddc884ecc521ece39847e666815c89655925d8a7da4ad5a4364f322b2a95aa5a

Anyone with a machine or VM available, please take it for a spin, and post your comments, bugs and suggestions here - for small things - or in a dedicated thread for things that might need some discussion.

Thanks!

Boron alpha 1 known issues

1) A big one right now is that the installer fails to remove the special live packages at the end of the install process. This is already understood, and will be fixed in the next iso, but for now please run this after installation:

sudo apt purge live-boot live-config live-config-systemd live-boot-initramfs-tools

And it might be better to do a reboot at that point.

2) While the bunsenlabs backports repository is enabled out of the box, xfce4-power-manager is installed from Debian. To get our patched version, which is supposed to fix the well-known tint2 system tray icon issue, run:

apt policy xfce4-power-manager

to confirm that our backports version is available, then:

sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports xfce4-power-manager

3) A bug in the Debian installer puts unwanted raspberry pi firmware in a normal amd64 installation, causing problems with apt operations. Please see here for how to fix it. A workaround will be included in the forthcoming Beta amd64 iso, and is already in the i386 32 bit Beta iso.

4)... others will be added here as they are found.

The download of 1.8GB with ~350 KB/s is unacceptable for me. I'm sorry.

Installation on bare met al LG UltraPC 16 laptop with Ryzen 7 and AMD graphics

Installation went fine. However running suggested command

sudo apt purge live-boot live-config live-config-systemd systemd-sysv

after installation borked the system. Removed network conectivity and on reboot it booted to the command line. After logging in and issuing 'startx', the GUI loaded but the system was frozen. Removing systemd-sysv is the problem.

Speed of download was OK (about 15 minutes). It will get better once the ISO has propagated to some additional mirrors

Confirmed! Many thanks for catching this.

A whole lot of necessary packages there, so I aborted.
The reason I put systemd-sysv in the remove list was that live-build adds it to its live package list. Those packages used to be removed at the end of the install process.

Anyway, post edited while I look into this a bit closer...

Why have you got raspi-firmware?
Are you on a raspberry-pi here?
If not, try removing raspi-firmware.

dmontaine · 2023-07-19 05:51:17

I don't know. I just did a normal install from the alpha1 iso. I didn't add anything. The laptop is an LG UltraPC 16 with a Ryzen 7 processor and AMD graphics. This was installing Alpha 1 on bare metal. Not removing live-boot-initramfs-tools fixed the problem. I tried to remove raspi-firmware and got this error:

It looks more to me that the presence of raspi-firmware is the problem.
You removed live-boot-initramfs-tools, which is not needed on an installed system, OK.
The presence of raspi-firmware is puzzling:

Apparently linux-image-6.1.0-10 has the raspi-firmware issue - or at least that is what I read in some fora.
It is NOT existing in its predecessor linux-image-6.1.0-9. In fact, a number of debian-stable based distros (a.o. MX Linux) don't offer the upgrade to 6.1.0-10...
Until the storm passes, suggest that boron ships with the safe 6.1.0-9 kernel

Today the download went through with three times the speed (server in Austria).

I now have the live ISO running in QEMU and I suggest making the following changes in the standard conky's config file:

    minimum_width = 400, minimum_height = 0,-- width | height
    maximum_width = 1000,

    gap_x = 120,-- left | right
    gap_y = 45,-- up | down

in

    minimum_width = 00, minimum_height = 00,-- width | height
    maximum_width = 00,

    gap_x = 20,-- left | right
    gap_y = 20,-- up | down

and the change

    own_window_type = 'desktop',

in

    own_window_type = 'normal',

causes the menu to be displayed even if the Conky window is right-clicked

The problem with the raspi firmware can already be safely solved in the live ISO (if it is necessary for USER) with the purge command.

sudo apt purge raspi-firmware

On bare metal 6.1.0.10 purging raspi-firmware causes the same problem as shown above.

On screenshot above, the last line runs together in the Conky

@dmontaine,

the visible command on the screen is a simulation! That's what the -s shows you.

Uninstalling the firmware is done with

sudo apt purge raspi-firmware

I also did a bare-metal installation in the meantime.

I chose the Expert mode because I want to preserve my existing swap. Nevertheless, I had killed my main boot loader because I had chosen the wrong partition. So now I had to install the alpha as my main bootloader.

@unklar

"sudo apt purge raspi-firmware" is the command I used and it gave me the output I showed in the response above. I also tried "sudo apt purge raspi-firmware live-boot-initramfs-tools" together after reinstalling Alpha 1 and that caused the same problem.

At this point just avoiding deleting live-boot-initramfs-tools and raspi-firmware is the only way I can maintain a system where apt works.

@unklar

My guess, this is a AMD based laptop that was released less than a year ago, so it probably has some components that are causing problems. As someone mentioned above, linux-image-6.1.0-10 has had problems reported on some hardware. I will try installing Alpha 1 on an HP Elitedesk 800 Gen 2 mini that I have floating around. My guess is that it will have no problems.

The OOTB notification theme is wrong, it should be changed from "default" to "Boron-light-aqua".

@unklar, thanks for reposting that conky suggestion! I haven't tried it yet but it's on my ToDo list.

@john has reminded me that my themes produce all sorts of gtk3 warnings (see your .xsession-errors file). This is harmless unless you rarely reboot your computer, but it should be addressed. I'm going to try and fix the themes by extracting the gtk.css '@import url' resource files to new css files, change the deprecated values, then use the new .css file instead. It should work.

re: removing the live-build packages problem, I think the issue should be moved to it's own thread. It's actually a minor issue IMO, the whole OS install only takes up about 4.5 GiB of space as it is now. The installed size of live-config-systemd is 23kB...
