Starting a new guide/git:

https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/stretchbang/

Mostly written for my future-self (as short as possible), but should be clear enough for an user, comments appreciated. p.s. Also install should be a little more automagic than previous postbang stuff.

Having a go in a virtualbox now, will report back when all done, cheers mate.

Ok done, very nice. I like what you did with effects through compton, i like the cuprum font, it all comes together very well, congrats.

@Steve, thanks for testing.

I will try it out on the weekend on my test partition on the laptop as well.

Just a question with firefox, i note that it is does not have window border controls - min/max etc? Not a big deal, you can shut firefox down with the provided poweroff button.

edit: ^ I have bring borders for firefox back by default.
p.s. It's getting quite nice to install by this point in time, lots of automation.

One can use the release Firefox from the mozilla website. I dropped the extracted archive in $HOME/.local/opt/firefox. Firefox-esr in official Stretch repo is missing multiprocess windows, which is a big feature.

Also, checkinstall is better suited than make install as it allows apt to track the user compiled packages.

@easysid, thanks for comments, for some reason checkinstall fails with tint2 (Should be fixed).

I'll assume the new firefox expects something other than alsa?

Why not use the BunsenLabs backport?

@nobody always updates the package very quickly after a version bump — we make Arch look crusty

The non-ESR firefox now has a hard dependency on libpulse and will not produce sound without PA

Unless you use OpenBSD, ofc

Re: e10s, I think you may be able to force enable it in firefox-esr:

Yeah, that would make things easy, I'll understand that my humble endeavor is allowed to use bunsen repos?

in /etc/checkinstallrc

TRANSLATE=0

this fixed checkinstall for me. Try a dry run with checkinstall --install=no to see if the deb builds successfully.

I think the problem were version numbers not being compatible/comparable with 'official-repo' tint2 (it did build, but install failed i guess). Workaround seems to be 'apt remove tint2 && checkinstall # only then'.
Solved with some soft-links, so one never has to 'make install'.

Ehi bronto, using stretchbang on an old laptop...loving it, I really like your selection of software (for any task really) and your configs. Also, the theming is amazing, and it's good to be on debian stretch since some software/libraries on jessie is definitely obsolete now..definitely enjoying it a lot; I just wanted to share with you my enthusiasm, that's all ;-D

brontosaurusrex · 2017-09-01 19:48:00

@ap; Thanks for your enthusiastic feedback.
