Boron

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 08#p126008

I installed the netinst.iso (amd64) in QEMU and upgraded to Boron.

What didn't work was the simplification to (since not available)

[Maybe easier is to grab the signing key directly:]

the installation of

[NOTE: bunsen-meta-lite is a slightly lighter alternative to bunsen-meta-all.]

failed because of not fulfilled package dependency
bunsen-paper-icon-theme
The trick of installing librsvg2-common did not help either

Which worked without rework:
-all resolutions of the background images
-the correct repo from debian.list
-the network
-the switch to the white mouse

I was very pleasantly surprised that I could immediately access the host from guest in thunar using sftp.

Thanks!

Re: Boron

Hi @unklar, thanks for the installation report.

Sorry, what exactly didn't work here?
This wget download works OK for me:

wget https://ddl.bunsenlabs.org/ddl/bunsen-release.asc

the installation of

Thanks - you've found a bug indeed. The bunsen-meta-lite list depends on bunsen-paper-icon-theme, but I forgot to upload a boron package for that. I'll do it today.

Thanks for the confirmation!

I can't do this. The host system refuses the connection from the guest, but the host thunar can sftp to the guest. My guess is that it's because my qemu guest has openssh-server installed, but the host does not. Do you have openssh-server installed on your host system?

He told me 2 times that this address does not exist.

However, I wonder now, is this a 1 or an l ? (dd1; ddl]

I will repeat the installation tonight or tomorrow, hoping that the package is on the server.

On the host are:

dpkg -l ssh* | grep ii
ii  sshfs          3.7.3-1.1    amd64        filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol
...
dpkg -l openssh* | grep ii
ii  openssh-client      1:9.2p1-2    amd64        secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines
ii  openssh-server      1:9.2p1-2    amd64        secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines
ii  openssh-sftp-server 1:9.2p1-2    amd64        secure shell (SSH) sftp server module, for SFTP access from remote machines

Furthermore, before I start the VM I have to activate the daemon because in the middle of it it often refuses.

systemctl start sshd.service

It worked for me too. And it's L.

Re: Boron

New installation on bare metal was performed today. No errors occurred (desktop). Everything top!

I had actually read the L (small l) as 1 (one) during the installation in QEMU. Sorry.
bunsen-meta-lite yielded only about half the packages compared to all.

Great! Debian Bookworm is looking quite good.

bunsen-meta-lite yielded only about half the packages compared to all. 

Also, if you want to keep the install size down, don't forget to install the metapackage with '--no-install-recommends'.

Some package replacements in bunsen-meta-lite were done to try to lower the system load a bit, compared with -full. The obvious one was replacing Firefox with dillo, which won't please everyone of course.

Any other suggestions for trimming down bunsen-meta-lite for old machines will be most welcome.

Re: Boron

I had wondered why in the bunsen-meta-all installation from the

ls -ld /lost+found
drwx------ 2 root root 16384  3. Mär 16:33 /lost+found

no new kernel is installed.

This is because the package linux-image-amd64 is missing.

dpkg -l linux* | grep ii
ii  linux-base                         4.9          all          Linux image base package
ii  linux-image-6.1.0-3-amd64          6.1.8-1      amd64        Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
ii  linux-libc-dev:amd64               6.1.15-1     amd64        Linux support headers for userspace development

After installing this package then also comes the new kernel 6.1.0.6 at full-upgrade.

Re: Boron

With the bunsen-meta-lite installation from the

ls -ld /lost+found
drwx------ 2 root root 16384  8. Mär 13:47 /lost+found

on a desktop with LAN I found by accident that the NM applet does not display any (graphic) content.

The network connection works since the installation always and without problems.

A reconfiguration of the package to see if the graphical content is then correct, I could not do so far, because simply as an old man the name of this package slipped my mind.

Re: Boron

Thanks @johnraff.
I was always looking for a package with '...applet' in the name.

sudo apt install --reinstall --install-recommends network-manager-gnome

changes nothing. Also no restart. I have now entered the interface by hand.
