[FINISHED] Boron Release Candidate isos available

hhh · 2024-01-18 01:56:05

I still hate Sector11, my terminal is rachael@tyrell-corp but my home folder is rachel and my login screen is rachel. I should just switch my username back to rachel. Don't cry for me, Argentina.

Could this mean a BL Carbon wayland-based? Let's get Boron out first anyway...

This is some very exciting news!

When I install Debian in Virtual box the screen resolution is automatically good.
When I do the same with BunsenLabs it is stuck at 800x600 by default. (on hardware install is was fine automatically )

The fixed 800x600 resolution is due to needing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions, which allows for resizing the resolution of the guest:

https://linuxconfig.org/install-virtual … inux-guest

Note: when running Bunsenlabs in VM, if you change the size of the guest window, you'll have to run the following commands in the terminal to "fix" the wallpaper and any running Conky instances:

nitrogen --restore
killall -SIGUSR1 conky

You can avoid having to do this by first sizing your guest window at the Bunsenlabs login screen before logging in.

Hope this helps.

I'm looking forward to Bunsenlabs with Wayland.
When will it be, tomorrow? Today? :-)

Not correct. I tested to boot different live debian flavors and derivates in virtualbox, fullscreen, on an system with 2 monitors 1900x1020.
All Debian Gome, KDE, and LXQt, boots to 800x600, but ok to resize to one screen 1440x900, without installing guest-os.
Also derivates like Antix, Busterdog, Emmabuntüs, Nakedeb, Sharpbang and SparkyLinux, boots to 800x600.

LMDE 5 Cinnamon, booted to 800x600, made immediately some fast flicker and resized to 1024x768.
MiniOS (Deb12), also boots to 1024x768

Icefun boots to 1280x800
Peppermint boots to 1152x864
Siduction BodhiLinux, KaisenLinux XFCE, Spirallinux and MXLinux boots to 1900x1020.

There is a slight problem with BL booting in Virtualbox:
The yad welcome text, is not fully shown in 800x600.
There is no scrollbar. So a newbie, can´t see all the text until he resizes screen.

sleekmason · 2024-01-19 15:45:34

What is the maximum size that the screen could be changed to safely for everyone?

I am currently using a small script to change the resolution in to 1440x900 with:

#!/bin/bash

#Virtual Manager resolution change.
if grep hypervisor /proc/cpuinfo ; then

notify-send "Virtual Machine Detected
Adjusting Initial Resolution
To 1440x900."
    xrandr -s "1440x900" && ~/.fehbg
else
notify-send "Not In A Virtual Machine.
Exiting Script."
exit
fi

I named the script vmrestore and call it from a terminal inside the VM. This could easily be expanded upon and set automatically on VM entrance. (Guess I need to do something like this too!) Note that my setup uses feh, and the script would need to be adjusted a bit.

Maybe also a way to check the system resolution, and just script a "if the resolution is greater than 'xyz', then change to 'abc'"?

Please move or delete this if not relevant to the the topic.

I can't talk about virtualbox, but on qemu I've had no particular problems adjusting the resolution for my various VMs.

Is there no scrollbar on the outside of the VM window to move the view port?
Alternatively, is it not possible to move the welcome message window with Alt+drag? (Sometimes another keybind is needed to pass Alt to the VM.)

Hello!

Bunsenlabs Boron installed and updated, working very well, on a computer with an Amd Athlon 5400 processor, 4 Gb memory.

Congratulations to the whole team.

hhh · 2024-01-23 23:35:51

Thanks! The Official Release will be coming out in two or three days. No need to reinstall, just apt upgrade.

John Raff for the win.

Seems my timing is bad. But I have found something (it seems). Something small.

I noticed that dropbox did not started automatic on my real install. To make sure I installed a fresh and updated Boron install. I installed dropbox with the option 'install favorite packages'. The 'easy install option for applications'. - Default options, yes on everything, said yes for auto start after 60 seconds.

That did not worked. Rebooted and waited. No. - The command 'dropbox autostart y' worked in the sense that the command gives not error. But it does not start dropbox.

What does work is adding in the 'BunsenLabs session' autostart;

## Dropbox 
sleep 5m; dropbox start &

What is not surprise obviously that it works .

^Hi walter, many thanks, you've found a bug!

The dropbox pipemenu code is still adding the autostart line to ~/.config/openbox/autostart instead of ~/.config/bunsen/autostart. This is a relic of some years ago, because Dropbox installation was done in the Welcome script for a while. When we switched back to the menu, that bit of the code was missed.

You can check that happened by opening ~/.config/openbox/autostart - is the dropbox entry at the bottom? You've already fixed it anyway, but you could just copy that line to ~/.config/bunsen/autostart

I'll update the code and upload a fixed bunsen-pipemenus.

...done.

Yes, there it was. The only active entry.

# Autostart the Dropbox daemon
(sleep 60s; /home/walter/bin/dropbox start) &

Happy that I helped to get this solved.

verndog · 2024-01-26 18:13:00

I haven't been here in a while. Haven't used Bunsen in a long while. That's going to change. I like the new ISO! Thanks.

One of the first things I tried to do and remember was how to change the taskbar from vertical at the bottom of the screen...
...I noticed some profiles where labeled with 'vertical' in the name I tried the one without that.
'boron-dark.tint2rc' did the trick.
Giving those profiles names not only 'vertical' but also 'horizontal' in their label would make that more obvious.
That sounds like a good idea - let's do it, for Boron anyway.

But I didn't do it in time for Boron, sorry. There wasn't time to check it over properly. In fact bunsen-blob holds some tint2 files too, but there's only one which would be affected so renaming shouldn't bother existing users too much.
I've renamed the files in git and the change will go out in the next upgrade of bunsen-configs and bunsen-blob.

Jimbo_G · 2024-01-31 13:14:47

Is there a thread for reactions to Boron? My incredibly minor comment/question is about the default Conky - should the initial

${hr}

underneath SYSTEM really be commented out? (line 179)

I can see that in the official screenshot there's no line, but I think it looks better with, like underneath SHORTCUT KEYS and WINDOWS.

hhh · 2024-01-31 15:36:05

^ That makes sense for consistency, not sure why we didn't either add one there or remove the other two. Maybe a CrunchBang holdover? Nope...

https://distrowatch.com/images/ktyxqzob … chbang.png

I guess we just wanted to save space with the added info. The conky can get pretty tight in a default VM display.

@verndog, welcome back!

johnraff · 2024-02-01 04:17:27

^^ & ^ I think it might have been about saving space, or just making the SYSTEM section less intrusive. The ${hr} is in the code but commented out.
We could drop the other two, but it maybe looks better with all three in?
