Lithium test iso available

johnraff · 2019-12-10 03:34:53

We now have an iso file available which will install the current testing version of BunsenLabs Lithium. There are still many details to be ironed out, but the basic system seems to be working. Any feedback and bug reports will be most welcome! This iso file is hosted on a Google Drive account, but of course the eventual official release will be available from the BunsenLabs website.

lithium-dev-4-amd64.hybrid.iso:

c5fbb45259fe40d2370f4bc6630db4edc7d96c01b0e51e83b3654392885b1116

NOTES:

1) This testing iso is not yet an official release, and still uses the experimental repository, so should not be considered ready for general use.

2) The BunsenLabs Backports repository is not yet available, so attempts to enable it from the 'bl-welcome' script will result in errors.

3) Similarly, the bunsen-images-extra package is not yet available.

A discussion thread has been started here.

Downloaded, ran the checksum, ran it live and installed it. It runs great, and looks great too, on my hardware. Please post your results, hardware info and feedback in the following development thread for now, we can split bugs off to their own threads as necessary...

@The Team and especially @John, great job!

Nice, will test this out in the next few days. Congrats to all involved.

iMBeCil · 2019-12-10 13:05:23

Excellent! Thanks to all devs involved for new version.

johnraff · 2019-12-11 02:07:04

OP updated with a note about the as-yet non-existent BL backports repo and bunsen-images-extra package.

BigBrownHawk · 2019-12-11 22:55:56

Looks great! The window animation is very pleasing I must say. Installing in VirtualBox Version 6.0.6 r130049 went smooth. Took me a few steps to get the guest additions installed properly as I had to get dkms, linux-headers, and build-essentials.

sudo apt install dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential

inserted the guest additions cd

sudo sh /media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Rebooted, and off to the races.

Tried to install LAMP off the bat with the bunsenlabs welcome script but, as I see in the OP notes this sounds like it's still being worked on.

Cheers!

Actually, the LAMP install from bl-welcome should work - it doesn't use the backports repo.

If you have time, could you give us some more detail on what went wrong? Thanks!

Funny enough these were my exact notes that I had in notepad++ :

After installing LAMP had these errors
I also didn't enable debian backport repository
Package bunsen-images-extra is not available, but is referred to by another package
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

And looking at the first test install, hostname: blabslithiumdev, I didn't enable bunsenlabs backports either.

Its a rainy day here before the holiday party so I decided to do a fresh install.

Here are some notes on my steps, hostname - blabslithiumlampdev:

So I enabled both debian backports and blabs backports. And doesn't seem to work when I try to install LAMP again. I'm also at work and behind a decent firewall, so it can be on my end.

No problem for me to install LAMP. If you could you install someting other from repository, you know the firewall does not stop you. It should not...

johnraff · 2019-12-13 01:28:34

@BigBrownHawk bunsen-images-extra and the BunsenLabs backports repo are unavailable at this time, so trying to use them will cause errors. (Debian Buster backports are OK.)

If you answer NO there, then the LAMP install part ought to work.

Sector11 · 2019-12-14 15:26:06

Found it ... grabbing it now.

BigBrownHawk · 2019-12-18 03:29:50

Tried it at home too with what I did from above. No luck with the LAMP install from welcome script I can't connect to that EU address.

I'm in California right now btw.

I'll re-run my steps and try what you are suggesting. Thanks for the help!

I loaded lithium on a itx box I use as a kodi box for my TV. Although the lost config. for autostart, menu edit ect I didn't like but not the end of the world.
What is a major problem is tint2. I just changed bottom to top for placement and it worked for a few reboots. I started it today and tint2 was gone, I "alt f2" and started tint2 and it was completely different tint2 on bottom. I pasted a new Default tint2rc config. file in now empty file. but won't autostart. Is this a experimental bug or something I did?

damo · 2019-12-21 22:19:27

Are you aware that there are different Openbox session options now? At the login you can choose the new BL session (default) or the old Openbox session. They use different configs and autostart, so perhaps you changed something in the wrong one?

dove · 2019-12-21 22:54:16

I did modify

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

to autologon. It booted up fine and suddenly it didn't?

bard · 2019-12-26 15:35:01

Hi all,

My report about the test iso:

- 2006 Macbook: flawless install (about 20 mn...) and working great (little slow because of the 1 Gb RAM but still fine).

- Samsung Q35: Kernel panic. Couldn't even run the live nor failsafe options, so went back to helium for now but still working on it.
Error screen (hope I'm doing it the right way...):

Let me know if I can try something to solve this.
