LinuxBBQ

^^ Comic Sans? ;P

^ How about Ding bats or WenQuanYiZenhei ( bacon would love this one) ? ;)

Lesson 2 Preview: http://a.pomf.se/ffpumj.pdf

Using Liberation Serif and Fira Sans and centered the page numbers. What do you guys think ?

^ Fantastic.

^^ Me gusta, thank you!

Ok last lesson 2 preview using Pragmata Pro and Fira Sans: http://a.pomf.se/byfeip.pdf

Which one shall we settle on then ?

^ Hmm, tough one mate, but I like Liberation. Let's see what the others say :D

Cheers
Simon

i like the last one, but the Liberation looks fantastic as well. hard choices man!

Ok then lets settle on Liberation Serif.

@bacon If no problem, can you please create academy as an repo in the Linuxbbq github ? Or shall I create one in my github and push the Pdfs there and transfer the ownership ?

I'll add you to the linuxbbq group, so you have full rights there. Can you wait a few days so I can finish the remaining topics, correct the main body again, add and remove some things -- this also saves you the pain of editing stuff again. I'll have to fix some little things to make the guide work for any other BBQ (or Debian) release. Won't take too much time, probably I'll finish the whole bunch until Tuesday.

Thank you.

I'm in no hurry :) Please take your time.

Just for previewing, here's all the pdfs: http://a.pomf.se/ldemxa.tar.gz ( I made some minor edits in some of the lessons. )

damn, i hoped the framebuffer/tty thing had been written yet. getting into that shit now as X is consuming 40% CPU according to top and makes my fan run which makes my laptop noisy as fuck (yeah, i should probably clean it, too). staying outside of X obviously fixes this, so i figured i'd see how minimal i could go while still being able to just view images and watch videos etc. i will keep Googling and wait patiently for your expert advice on the subject Jules :)

^ rhosey, first of all:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE

to see if there's an error in Xorg. Secondly, we'd need a

ps aux

and also a

pstree

to see if there's some bullshit running in the background (some while-loop or so). I'll add the TTY stuff to the text above in a moment.

Okay, added the tmux/screen and the tty/framebuffer stuff, just for rhowaldt (and everybody else who cares) :)

thanks so much Jules, that's wonderful! will start a separate thread for the Xorg troubleshooting to keep this clean. it is here: http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2120

@rho I also recommend reading through Joe's old repo grab-bag thread back at the !! forums. I learned alot from that thread, like how to watch exotic videos in a tty with mplayer ( Thanks to wux and Joe ) :

^ That #! link is rocking my world. Thanks for linking to that, and thanks Joe for taking the time to write it up :D

5 stars!

man, i love U!

Great and extremely useful topic, thanks machinebacon!

If I may suggest a small addition to one of the very first lessons: maybe it is a good idea to include all the locale things like setting keyboard, locale and so on as this is not in the installation routine anymore. For someone with a German keyboard even the simple apt-get can be a little riddle!

Wow! This totally kicks some ass! Mr. Bacon, sir, you have done a fine job here. Answered a lot of questions I've had for a long time. Please do some more lessons. Have a great day!
