The BL homepage FAQ says there are a "BunsenLabs En Espanol" group on Google+. Since there are no more G+, this piece of information is quite redundant.
Sorry, did not know how to get the ~ above the n in Espanol on my keyboard. :8

I used to be an admin there. Great community indeed. They moved to mewe. I don't know how it worked out 'coz I never joined again.

btw, I always have an ascii table around for those symbols. Back in the day we didn't have keyboards in spanish so we typed Alt+164 to get the ñ. Nowadays, there're two types of spanish keyboards (spanish and latin american spanish), same language, different layout.

Off Topic, but for people who only occasionally want to use a special character, the "compose" key can be handy. I have mine set to the CapsLock key, so to type a ñ I hit CapsLock then n and ~ (in either order).
é = CapsLock e '
etc (sorry I've forgotten where you can find all these)

You can set the compose key in autostart with eg 'setxkbmap -option compose:caps' but it seems unreliable. I prefer to put it in /etx/default/keyboard:

XKBOPTIONS="compose:caps"

You don't have to use CapsLock - a bit of googling will probably bring up the other possibilities.

I don't know how things goes on other keyboards, but on my Danish keyboard, I just type [Alt Gr][~] and then [N] (deadkeys), which yields an ñ...
Likewise, [Alt Gr][,]+[C] yields a ç, [^]+[E] an ê, etc.
Aren't deadkeys available on all keyboards?

johnraff · 2020-04-18 04:43:19

^I don't think so. I have no [Alt Gr] for that matter, only an [Alt_L], and Alt+~ then n just produced a plain n for me.
But the compose key (once it's enabled) looks equally simple.
CapsLock c , gives ç (c and comma in either order)

Hi!

https://www.bunsenlabs.org/installation.html#downloads
Maybe it is favorable to list latest RC-iso as well?
At least when they are as well polished as then one fot Lithium is now?

https://www.bunsenlabs.org/installation … ed-install

For Debian 8 (Jessie) systems, you should use our Hydrogen packages. The repositories will stay available as long as Debian 8 stays the LTS oldstable release, however these repositories will not receive any feature updates.

It is some time now since jessie became oldoldstable... Maybe time to delete that text and Hydrogen repos?

Yep.

The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 8
"jessie" support has reached its end-of-life on June 30, 2020, five
years after its initial release on April 26, 2015.

hhh · 2020-07-20 21:30:49

We're working on it, which is to say that @Johnraff is working on it. Last minute pushes, creating the CD ISO (done, brilliant), Release Notes, etc... We certainly were hoping to release lithium sooner than this, but here we are. No sense in asking to update the website for the RC and again for the Release. Just a week or two away now.

But yes, Hydrogen has gone bye bye, the website and forum should reflect that.

rbh · 2020-07-21 20:19:28

Funny.
On my current box, in stable Chromium, Google Chrome and Firefox, the scrolbar is grey. But in Firefox 78, it is blue.
But, the scrolbar works.

^Please keep Crunchbang too though! I'd be distraught without the darkness.
(Or add a Lithium theme...)

damo · 2020-07-22 03:47:03

^ Yes, I'm still using the Crunchbang theme after all these years!

I dont think @nobody want to delete his own favorite: Mercury, which is quite dark.

BTW, it would be nice with a dark theme that works on the telephone. Now only default theme works.

johnraff · 2020-07-23 02:39:02

Mercury - sorry I don't like that at all. Very clunky-looking to me. I guess if it's functional then it's OK as a default.

A version of Crunchbang with the colours tweaked to match Lithium would be nice of course. Or, of course, a toned-down Lithiumized Mercury, with all the sharp edges smoothed over...

But it's not me who would be doing the work, so I'll be happy if CrunchBang continues to be available.

I use DarkGrey from my login to BL, it's very calm and easy for eyes day and night. Wish it could be also such for a guest navigations or default.

rbh · 2020-08-13 18:32:09

On https://www.bunsenlabs.org

"The current release is derived from Debian 10"
Might be good to add the named version; Buster.
Can make it easier for people when migrating with dist-upgrade...

rbh · 2020-11-01 19:56:23

I needed the Netinstall Script today.
I could not find the link on https://www.bunsenlabs.org/installation.html

It was removed this summer. Last archived version is: https://web.archive.org/web/20200624082 … ation.html

Through hardships to the stars.

Altered, but I think referenced in the Toy Story films... "To infinity, and beyond!"

Maybe a more literal translation... Per aspera ad astra... Through difficulty to a star. And that paraphrased is Metamorphosis by Kafke or some other prick. Hannibal Lecter said it in Silence of the Lambs...

"The significance of the moth is change. Caterpillar into chrysalis, (snidely) or pupa, (utterly sincerely and with reverence) from thence into beauty."

Thank you for attending my TED talk, my thesis presentation at Oxford is in a week.

We don't have any heading "Known Problems" on the homepage.

That migt be good information to have easy access, for them who is to install BunsenLab first time.

Add subbheading about expired apt-key, what to do and link to the anouncement in News & Announcements.

Also the information that Adobes Flashplayer not should be installed when running BL-Welcome, needs to be more visible.

I didn't think of this, but now that you mention it, I absolutely agree.

Asking for bug reports to be posted on a separate interface like GitHub might somewhat reduce the amount of feedback we get.
But OTOH, yes, proper mechanisms to handle such reports would be a big improvement.

So finally agree with both of you that it's an excellent idea. We just need to publicise it here on the forums, post links at every opportunity...

EDIT One question though - individual BL packages already have "issues", which are essentially bug handlers. What distinction would we draw between those and the BunsenLabs bugs? Would someone have to triage the latter and redirect them to the appropriate package?
