"Adipositas" Reeducation Camp
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2016 4:45 pm
Welcome to the #1 Labor Camp on the dark side of the internet. There's a reason you came here. Maybe somebody posted a link, maybe you are just curious, feel guilty, ashamed, or bored. You should be running Adipositas on a spare partition (we accept VirtualBox!), or at least drop out of X (press something like Ctrl-Alt-F2).
The Adipositas release is officially labeled as "console desktop system". Common and less common tasks can be performed outside of a running X server - in at least these cases it is even recommended:
- whenever you perform a dist-upgrade of your system
- if you have a low resource system and want to encode or decode media files, for example using ffmpeg
- when you want to have a distraction-free work environment, e.g. for writing
If your X server is broken, you can still use the TTY console.
Adipositas users will find an application menu popping up after boot. This menu is /usr/local/bin/bbqapps and is called by an autostart mechanism in ~/.bash_profile
The following posts cover each section and their programs. Of course I will not recite the content of manpages or post too many screenshots. You can switch to a new TTY and run "man <program>" to find more information. I will, however, cover some hidden gems. They may or may not be included in the (non-)LinuxBBQ system you are using.
shells - "commandline interpreters"
network - "networking tools"
files - "file managers"
media - "media players"
office - "office accessories"
system - "system tools and process viewers"
bbqpkg - "BBQ package manager"
snapshot - "create system snapshot"
^ I will update the sections one after the other ;)
