[FINISHED] BunsenLabs Lithium Release Candidate iso available

ezequiel_tkd · 2020-06-14 03:47:46

Hello, i'm posting for the first time but i've been following this community since the #! times.

Congrats on the Lithium RC! Right now i'm writing happily from a fresh install. Everything seems to work ok and the level of detail put on the release is amazing. Just a few comments and/or suggestions:
* I'm also having the problem with Catfish sometimes not launching.
* The package paper-icon-theme is not on the repositories, so bunsen-paper-icon-theme won't install. If it's possible to add it to Lithium repositories it would be great. The new Papirus has .svg icons and those would not play nicely with some apps (wbar for example). Paper it's an excellent complement because of the common style.
* I've edited the default tint2 layout to display at the top. I think it would be great to have it as an option as well as the vertical version, since it was the default location on previous versions.

I'll continue testing. Cheers from Argentina!

Catfish is buggy - there have been several posts about this recently;

Well, you can have both top and bottom lithium tint2rc's: copy the default and rename it, and set

panel_position = top center horizontal

Oh...and welcome to the Bunsen Gang

Sorry about that - it's an oversight that we'll fix very soon. And thanks for the reminder.

Today I run into the same problem that was described here:

I just clean installed [Lithium] ... After a while not using the laptop, the display is dimmed (Dark), it's ok.
But if I wait a bit, and touch the keyboard, the screen does not come back.

I tried the suggested solution:

Sector11 wrote:

Edit the OpenBox "autostart" file and add these lines:
### Stop screen from going black ###
(xset -dpms && xset s off) &

But today I had the same problem again. The screen became dark and I found no way to wake it up again so I had to use the On/Off-button to shut down the computer.

Some ideas what I can do?

I think I have read that it would help to install a newer kernel but I don't find this post about this topic again.

My laptop is a Lenovo T420 with a Core i5 processor.

This should be set in xfce4-power-manager. Main-menu>Preferences>Power Management>Display, make sure it's enabled then set the 3 top sliders to 0 (Never).

If you edited the Openbox autostart but are logging into a BunsenLabs session, that xset setting will be ignored. For BunsenLabs' autostart, use Main-menu>Preferences>BunsenLabs>Edit autosart

Interested to try this again.
I've not been able to use BL for over a year since upgrading my PC hardware and finding the old Stretch Debian base unable to support it.

Before switching away (to OpenSUSE TW) I backed up all of mu config files and themes using BLOB. Question: If I reinstall the icon packs, images etc, will BLOB correctly re-apply my old configs and themes to Lithium?

It should, as I've used BLOB a couple times and one time I totally FUBAR'd my setup but was able to restore them once I reinstalled.

If you have really new hardware, I would recommend using the text installer as your new hardware and graphics might be too new for the 4.19 kernel in Lithium. There is a 5.6 kernel in the buster-backports repo.

In my experience that worked for me as I have a Ryzen 3 system with builtin Radeon graphics which is too new for the 4.19 kernel in the Lithium live image. The graphical installer failed to launch, but the text installer worked fine. When I rebooted I was able to get just a 1024x768 screen which was enough for me to run the bl-welcome to add the backports then upgraded the kernel. After that, had BL in all its glory!

Not entirely - Lithium uses xbindkeys, for example.

Would been nice if BLOB did also save the xbindkeys config and ask if you want to restore them as well.

damo · 2020-06-27 17:21:28

^ I understood the question was: does it restore old BLOBs, which don't have the new config files? Mostly, I think - the script will rewrite user BLOBs to fit the latest syntax, but it is only meant to run in a bunsenlabs-session, not an openbox session. You may also need to log out/in to show any changes to notification themes. johnraff knows most about the inner workings.

Having different keybinds for different theme collections seems an unusual requirement.

@redrobo66 as DD and damo said, the hope is that BLOB will do its best to restore themes that were stored under Helium, and update them to fit the new syntax. But keep a copy of the backed-up ~/.confi/blob folder just in case it gets overwritten in a destructive way, and please post a bug report if that happens! (fingers crossed)

Oh yes, logout/in might be needed to see some changes, but there is hope that that might become unnecessary in the future, if we introduce xsettingsd and get it to co-operate with twoion's gtk-restart script. Another TODO, maybe post-release, maybe Beryllium...

Many thanks chaps.

I guess I need to get off my backside and go install it

I've been very happy on Tumbleweed Plasma for the past 18 months but I do miss Bunsenlabs.
I even stripped out my Plasma installation, enabled right click menu and got Conky working in Kwin but it's not the same...

I've tried just the barebones plasma which is just basically the plasma-workspace package plus the NM Plasmoid and it's certainly not the same as BL. Openbox has grown onto me too as it's fast and gets out of the way vs Plasma and GNOME.

randomeur · 2020-07-02 12:03:11

Excellent work devs!
Tried it on a live flash disk yesterday and it seems to be very solid. I like the new theme too.

I'll try and install it on bare metal in about 2 weeks when I have more free time from work.
Till then.

wrobat · 2020-07-03 17:16:55

I absolutely love the new bunsenlabs! It looks great, the new menu is very much welcomed ( I never remember to add the programs to the menu). The Team is doing a great job and appreciated. Thank you very much!

FYI I was able to upgrade to sid without a break. So far. nm ton of broken dependencies

Don't know if I can comment on feedback here but I was wanting to tell my experience installing BunsenLabs Lithium great an smooth install the text installed worked an I can't wait for the finale release or how it works. Very Happy with the Candidate Verison. Will there be a 64 bit version Soon???

Yes, feedback here is not only allowed, but appreciated! The 64 bit version linked in the original post of this thread, but appreciated!

The RC is as good as what will be the Official Release, it uses the same Debian buster sources and the current BL sources. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and you are current with our development, and you'll have a Debain stable system.

Mod edit - Please use code tags for terminal output!

Hello,

I have installed the 64 bit version and it seems great apart from the suspend function. When I put the laptop into suspend it is frozen when I try and wake it up. There are no ACPI settings in the bios, is there anything I can do from linux?

Here is some of the output of dmesg:

Perhaps you could investigate the acpi-support package.

apt-cache show acpi-support
...
This package contains scripts to react to various ACPI events. It only
 includes scripts for events that can be supported with some level of
 safety cross platform.
 .
 It is able to:
  * Detect loss and gain of AC power, lid closure, and the press of a
    number of specific buttons (on Asus, IBM, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony
    and Toshiba laptops).
  * Suspend, hibernate and resume the computer, with workarounds for
    hardware that needs it.
  * On some laptops, set screen brightness.
...

Thanks for the suggestion, already been trying that with no solution yet.
