devuan bunsenlabs?

Digit · 2020-01-25 12:36:30

what'd be some nice ways to go about getting a bunsenlabs experience atop a devuan base?

i imagine simple repository switching/adding might not be the cleanest approach.

(sorry if wrong forum section to post in, seemed a likely ammicable place for such a question)

You might try adding our repo and installing the bunsen-* packages: https://www.bunsenlabs.org/installation … ed-install, https://www.bunsenlabs.org/repositories.html . You would likely need to match the devuan+debian+BL-releases (?? + 9 + helium), (?? + 10 + lithium).

Lithium (10) will have some binary packages, which will be compiled against Debian libraries, and of which I have no idea whether they are going to work or not.

Depending on how the finalized package deps of the bunsen-* packages are going to look like in Lithium/10, Lithium stuff might be uninstallable on anything that is not binary compatible with Debian 10.

If you are hoping for a non-systemd Debian experience, I can say that both MXLinux and antiX work well with early Lithium repos I tried. I do not know about the current libs. The folks on those distros do an excellent job of providing backports and keeping things sync'ed with Debian stable.

Reminds me to ask this question: what is the difference between bunsen-paper-theme and the normal paper theme? I see that Helium uses bunsen-paper-theme and there isn't any difference between the two as far as I see.

The Paper-Bunsen iconset includes our BL distributor icon, and a fix for the xfce4 power icons. In the icon index.theme is

[Icon Theme]
Name=Paper-Bunsen
Comment=Substitute some icons in the Paper theme for BunsenLabs
Inherits=Paper

So using Paper-Bunsen adds some extras to Paper.

Wow. I guess this is the reason why my Helium has a white icon for battery charging while my Debian (original paper theme) has a large green icon. I thought this was because of some other missing config of package since I am building upon bare min Debian. I will try adding the repos and using bunsen-paper in this.

The way Inherits works this should not happen, unless
- you don't have the Paper Icon theme installed at all
- Bunsen-Paper provides its own white battery icon

Yes, I understand. Honestly, all I care about is security updates and terminal applications updates even if it's Stretch. All packages serve the fundamental purposes I use them for, so bleeding edge isn't going to do me any much favor.

In my debian machine, I have the paper icon theme installed, but I don't have bunsen-paper theme installed. Will be adding the bunsen repos and use bunsen-paper and bunsen-exit packages soon.

BL does indeed provide its own white battery icon, and a couple of others, then uses inherit to get all the rest from Paper (or Papirus in Lithium).

linux_user · 2020-03-23 07:03:39

So, the busen-paper package contains only the icons that is changed. The rest is 'inherited' from the original paper theme. In other words, bunsen-paper alone will not provide the entire icon set. You need both the packages.

Well, I have both the packages, but this information is new. Explains why both paper-icon and bunsen-paper is present in BL distros - because they sort complete each other.

johnraff · 2020-03-23 07:17:56

^correct.
bunsen-paper-icon-theme depends on paper-icon-theme so apt will automatically install the latter if you install the former.

linux_user · 2020-03-23 07:19:17

Noted and thanks. I anyway had paper-icon and then downloaded bunsen-paper from github and placed it in /usr/themes/icon.

johnraff · 2020-03-23 07:59:12

^That probably works too, but safer to install the packages with apt. Certain post-install tweaks will be done automatically.

Should be a no-brainer because apt will pull in Paper or Papirus as a dependency when installing bunsen-paper.

Less complicated as well: just apt install... and it's done. Also, the repos are going to help me with other bunsen packages.

Yes, it's a no-brainer to someone who understands what 'inherits paper' meant in readme.md. I didn't know the meaning until now.

I am afraid that didn't work. So far I thought it worked which is why I gave the confirmation in early posts, but it's only now that battery started discharging and I noticed that I still have the old green battery icon for both discharging and charging.

I do have both Paper and Paper-Bunsen theme in lxappearance with Paper-Bunsen selected.
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and ~/.gtkrc-2.0 both confirmed that it's Paper-Bunsen.

johnraff mentioned about some post-install tweaks. Could this be the reason?

Now, I can try to solve it by installing the package as suggested by John using apt, and I will, but in the interest of knowing, any idea why is this happening?
