Yes, expert install worked for me, about 95% in English now.

@arpinux, we love your little distro, good work. Thank you.

hi DeepDayze
to change language (as it's french by default) you need to edit boot command line from the live menu and delete the fr-FR location options. same to do if you install, or choose 'expert' install from the live menu.
about bunsenlabs, i was a crunchbang user some years ago and Corenominal (God save the King) helped me to build my first live fork
but i really can't work with openbox xml config files... it was almost killing me on crunchbang !

BunsenLabs is the successor to the great Crunchbang and Corenominal set a great example in how a distro should be. You learned wisely

Also thanks for the tip about changing the boot option to set the language.

Hi Arpinux - I remember you from the CrunchBang days.
Were you also on the Ubuntu forum around that time by any chance?

arpinux · 2021-01-29 23:29:31

hi humans
glad you like my little distro
nakeDeb is a french distro: many things (specially menus or preconfigurations) are in french.
but if english spoken people want to play with it, i will work on a real english/french release.

HELLO YES WE ARE ALL FRENCH SPEAKING HOOMANS HERE AND NOT ENGLISH SPEAKING MONKEY ROBOTS! bleep bloop zzzrrr

Oh hi arpinux long time no see. I loved livarp back in the days and learned a lot from it. When nakeDeb has a english release (i am german btw) i am more than happy to give it a go. Welcome to the forums.

As @arpinux mentioned, a good workaround is just take FR-fr out of the boot options to get the live session (and install) in English. Also set the keyboard layout to en_US, and it worked for me. Only quibble is some menu entries are still in French but I am sure these can be edited in the finished install.

Not to mention the comments in some configfiles.
When i think about it it is a shame that i can interact with people thousands of kilometers/miles away from me in english and not knowing more than a handfull words in french given the french border is less than 100 kilometers away from me.

Heheh, yes I would use Google translate to translate those comments but now an English version should hopefully be in the works

Hallo Lowrider, es ist schön Leute hier zu finden

i won't be abble to produce a german release as nakeDeb comes with a good documentation (as livarp did) and i can't maintain such german wiki... sorry for that, my german years are really far away (back to school days )

once again, many thx for your welcome

arpinux · 2021-01-30 23:21:37

nakeDeb english release ... wip ... i may ask for some help to re-read the final documentation if i could https://framagit.org/3hg/nakedeb/-/commits/master
but it could be better to open a new thread for that purpose later, when it's done

I'll volunteer. Je ne parle pas français but my mother does, so I can ask her if I second guess my own translation.

It is a pleasure to see this little distri boot with a ram consumption of 111 MB. The following languages are preinstalled: fr us de be, whereby already in the live iso the language selection can be influenced by setting the kernel parameters.
There are fluxbox and i3wm on board.
Since on this ThinkPad X40 with its American keyboard layout the keys
< > and | are missing, I still have to install my .Xmodmap.
...

I still have not managed to get my .Xmodmap running here.
This was completely incomprehensible to me at first, because it works with mageia, antiX, siduction and bunsenlabs out of the box on the x40.

While troubleshooting, I came across more inconsistencies in the installation.
Example:

$ apt policy audacious
audacious:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: (keine)
  Versionstabelle:

The set up repos of the installation under

 /etc/apt/nakedeb.list
 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nonfree.list
 /etc/apt/sources.list

were useless. Only the #commenting out of these and re-installation of a
sources.list with debian brought the success for the user as expected after the installation.

Other inconsistencies:
- "Applications/Research"/down arrow key/select /home opens /bin.
- the sense of "Default Apps" is also not clear to me, because no changes are taken over are applied (e.g. background selection of grub, lxterm etc.).

All this under fluxbox. I have not dealt with i3w at all.

All in all, I apologize for my euphoria for this little
distro. Disillusionment has set in with me. Only the 111MB Ram at startup keep me still "at the rod". Without .Xmodmap it is a no go anyway. ]:D

arpinux · 2021-01-31 13:32:36

hi unklar

if you want to apt show/install a package on nakedeb, you'll have to apt update first

about the sources.list things :
'nakedeb.list' is the sources.list original of the nakedeb project
'sources.list' is the sources.list of your system that you can modify as you want, thus you'll keep the 'nakedeb.list' as backup in fact
'nonfree.list' is the sources.list of the non-free repositories. separated from the other sources, easy to remove without editing

there is 3 sources.list because if you install nakedeb off-line, the debian sources.list will not be populated. so 'nakedeb.list' comes and is copied to 'sources.list'

about the search utility : it's based on locate and it opens the parent folder of the selected file. if you select /home, it will open / and with ranger cli file manager, the first directory listed is /bin

make another try by really searching a file like 'licence' and you'll see the result.
if you don't like nakedlocate, you can install catfish

the default apps entry is the regular debian apps selector. but if you want to modify the grub screen, you'll have to edit /etc/default/grub then update it, like all other debian custom system.

same thing with lxterm : the menu entries and the shortcuts are configured to open urxvt. even if you choose lxterm as default terminal emulator, you'll have to modify menu entries by hand.

thanks for pointing this out .. i'll see how i can replace "urxvt" with "x-terminal-emulator" in menu entries for next release

don't hesitate to make feedback on nakedeb forum if you want more precise answer or tips:)
thanks again for testing

have a good day

^
/etc/apt/nakedeb.list contained duplicates of the same repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.. Comment them out and good to go.

"Applications/Research"/down arrow key/select /home opens /bin.

Confirmed.

WIP. No harm, no foul. YMMV

Edit: And the nakeDeb wallpaper makes it all worth it.

hi
about the nakedlocate tool :
to solve the bug, open the script

sudo nano /usr/bin/nakedlocate

then edit it as follows

#!/bin/sh
# locate and open files
[ -d "$1" ] && DIR="$1" || DIR="/"
selection="$(locate -i "${DIR}" | rofi -threads 0 -dmenu -i -p "rechercher ")"
[ -d "$selection" ] && urxvtcd -e ranger $selection || urxvtcd -e ranger "$(dirname "${selection}")"

this way, if the selected entry is a directory, it will be opened. if the selected entry is a file, the parent folder will be opened.

thx for report
