bunsen-configs update to 13.2-1

johnraff · 2025-07-25 09:57:26

bunsen-configs 13.2-1 has been uploaded and announced:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=9487

The changelog has some details:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … /changelog

And all the nitty-gritty changes in the git commit history:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … ts/carbon/

I think this is OK to put in an alpha BL iso.

Bunsen-configs sets a lot of graphic themes, and ships some important helper scripts for pkexec etc.

Please post any suggestions for improvement here in this thread.
Thanks!

-bunsen-configs were applied here.

-the labbe icons had to be changed manually in jgmenurc because it didn't work with appearance.

-At the moment, I'm frustrated because pnmixer can't be selected in the systray (maybe I'm doing something wrong with the bar ).

-pkexec works well. The name of the file opened by root is a bit confusing (/etc/default/grub --> /var/tmp/grub.o8qSnrrr ).
An icon appears in the systray with the text under the mouse:
‘Click the icon to discard all elevated permissions’.

Thank you, @johnraff and Team, for your work!

Thanks for checking it out!

If the jgmenu icon setting in jgmenurc is left empty, it will use the current GTK setting from lxappearance, but if something is set manually in jgmenurc then the global user setting is ignored.

-At the moment, I'm frustrated because pnmixer can't be selected in the systray (maybe I'm doing something wrong with the bar ).

Pnmixer is no longer used. Xfce4-panel has a mixer plugin available though - that should have been enabled by the default settings set with the new bunsen-configs. You don't see it?

-pkexec works well. The name of the file opened by root is a bit confusing (/etc/default/grub --> /var/tmp/grub.o8qSnrrr ).

Agreed, that isn't ideal as a user interface. If it had been up to me, I would have copied the file being edited to inside a temporary directory so that the filename would be unchanged. But that was the sudoedit devs' decision.

An icon appears in the systray with the text under the mouse:
‘Click the icon to discard all elevated permissions’.

I didn't notice that. I'll have another look...

I must be blind, because I can't see it...

^Ah... I think it's probably because you haven't got xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin installed.
I need to add it to bunsen-configs' list of Recommended packages, and to all the other package lists.
You might consider uninstalling pnmixer too.

Thanks for catching that!

Pnmixer was dropped because it won't work in Wayland, and was last upgraded in 2017. A discussion started here: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 79#p142879

Thank you very much, @johnraff.
The plugin was actually missing.
You would soon have to remove the dependence on pnmixers.

sudo LANG=C apt purge pnmixer
REMOVING:                       
  bunsen-meta-all*  pnmixer*

Summary:

Continue? [Y/n]

Edit:
with gtk.css

^Yes, the next upgrade of bunsen-meta-all will drop pnmixer and add xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.

I'm holding the upgrade for a week or so in case any other necessary changes come up.
