LinuxBBQ

I want to set keyboard shortcuts for Master Volume back to Fn3 and Fn4 across the system. (edited to remove initial misdiagnosing of potential causes on my part :D ) I looked back, and had got to a similar issue in my Make Install 2wm thread before with adding Mod4, but now trying to understand why ...

I tried some manual program removes, but it seems to crash RM if I do more than like 3 at a time. Terminal takes one line with remove, then prints the rest of the list in new command lines, and gets lost trying to open 4 programs at once for each line, lol. With a 2pg list, I gave up on that for now...

Now I need to find a nice sticker to cover the Windows swastika key.... https://thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/tux-super-key-keyboard-sticker just the first one that came up, but googling/ebay/amazon should yield more... Just seach Tux/Linux superkey/windowskey sticker, and I'm sure there's way more op...

Little workaround is to hold perl-modules and then:

Code: Select all

apt upgrade

Do not dist-upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's a dead thread, sorry, but you just saved my ass again. I almost reverted 3 days work trying to hold my kerenel and doing apparently another bad habit I need to unlearn!

Thank you everyone. I just read the anti-bloat thread and got a lot of inspiration there. Also was surprised on Archvortex's comment, he learned more in a year here than 13yrs of Gentoo(ironically, as I'm currently installing my 1st gentoo started last night, lol). I plan on staying for the society ...

Odd off topic, kinda multi-part question, but curious how you all got/stayed here... Some things confuse me: Mixing Debian Sid with ancient WMs and no X. Sid giving the newest and "best" packages, yet running the bare bones minimum setups? Why not Debian Stable with just a WM, or why not a...

I second everything Pidsley said. Normally there is no reason to reinstall unless you did an autoremove that was not called for and it removed the kernel and even then as Pidsley so kindly explained dpkg should be your friend. I only wonder how old the version of this BBQ spin is. :) /Moved thread ...

yeah ditto, had fun today with a previous senior tech who hated systemd so much he blocked the package, which worked ok on jessie and stretch, but ballsed up buster so much it wanted to drop the apt package.. anyway got it running again with wgetting packages from debian and dpkg -i them I barely l...

I apologize for wasting anyone's time. Dumb simple fix I had already learned from you guys here... lol. My good laptop broke, and stuck using a very old Dell tower. Sound broke on there too after it's Debian kernel updated past 4.4 as well. Troubleshooting it led me back to my old post's on ALSA for...

Thanks, Siduction always seemed to bug out on me. Nice to know some people are working on it from the outside! Thanks.

So I am fully aware of the number of warnings on here for old distros and dist-upgrade. I brought this on myself, and blame no one. Running an old Toshiba Netbook (NB505) I eventually settled on LinuxBBQ Break, it was one of few that had an old enough kernel to work with both wifi and sound cards. K...

I've been hoarding BBQ USB's for a bit now and tried a lot of install methods. As far as I know, unless it's a hybrid iso, persistance only seems to happen with direct installs. I forgot all the different USB installers I've tried so far (I have a thread here somewhere on my trials/errors). I know u...

Black Mirror was amazing! The American Idolish one where peons power the world on exercise bikes is my favorite. A lot of truth hidden in plain sight in that show... Slave away day to day buying things for our avatars/egos; chasing unrealistic dreams that aren't all they're cracked up to be... Selli...

Fun with signs:

lol, gross

One night, a couple hippy girls came in and stuck these on all our poultry:
Eco terrorism at its finest, lol.

I work in a health food grocery store and end up with a lot of ironic situations involving meat related humour. Figured I would start to share here where it would likely be appreciated and I could appreciate what others have on the topic...

I put /home/break/.bash_profile in there. Thought I did at least. Here's the code for that. Unless there's another one somewhere else you wanted? whereis showed like 20 locations... break@grill:~$ whereis .bash_profile : /usr/bin/. /usr/sbin/. /usr/lib/. /bin/. /sbin/. /etc/. /lib/. /usr/games/. /us...

Yea, I tried switching TTY after Kill all X methods since none of them kicked me back into TTY on their own. They all just seem to close all active windows but not much else... All the above files mentioned and 2wm-start as well via transfer.sh: https://transfer.sh/%28/xQ1ar/.bash-profile,/k7i5g/ope...

^ Its hard for me to take that guy's voice seriously...

I keep hearing The Intro to Future's Pluto Album in his voice, lol
