SWM: Victory (586) Release Notes

Unread post by machinebacon » Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:54 am

LinuxBBQ Victory is a lightweight and minimal operating system based on Debian sid (snapshot of April 20, 2015). The kernel is Debian's vanilla kernel for i586 PCs.

Features:
- swm window manager (kudos to dcat)
- sxhkd (kudos to baskerville)
- wmutils (kudos to z3bra and dcat)
- wallpaper by kexolino (thanks bro!)
- a bunch of bbqtools for better productivity
- just a handful of X11-apps: xcalc, xpdf, xfontsel
- many many TUI applications
- new: slmenu for the console. command: xe

Notes:
- It is recommended to prepare a partition and format it (ext4 will be fine!) before starting the installer (sudo bbqinstall or sudo bbqinstaller).
- The password is 'root'.
- After installation, reboot the computer, login as 'root'.
- create a new user: adduser USERNAME
- change the root password: passwd root
- finally exit the root account and log in with your username.

Keybinds:
Alt + Return: x-terminal-emulator
Alt + Cursor: move windows 10px
Alt + hjkl: resize windows 10px
Alt + Shift + x: kill active window
Alt + Space: open 9menu
Alt + d: open dmenu
Alt + p: show OSD

Configuration files:
~/.sxhkdrc: keybindings
~/.9menurc: 9menu
~/.xinitrc: session startup
~/.bash_profile: autologin to X
~/.slmenu: slmenu shortlist

played a bit with it live last night. It was nice. I could definitely rock it. Maybe replace my spring partition with it.

Ah ha! Finally, a swm release :D I have been running swm with coreutils on BORK! up until now. Will definitely start from scratch with this again; looks like a fantastic release. Thanks MB :)

Should come up with a new scheme for the new install. Pretty much using it as a base. Played a bit with swm, but did fallback to a different wm. Cleaned up pstree, got rid of logsave, reduced tty's, purged dbus, and added my main pieces. Still light on packages, ram is low, 20 at boot, upper 30's in X. Even with iceweasel and 10 tabs still below 200. Also hacked env-info to read my include from .Xresources.

Nice job bacon

I published this scrot in another thread, but probably belongs here. Victory with new wall, new colors, running swm.

Tried out the live run late last night. Going to install it on my little eMachines E-250 guinea pig and give it a full on run.

Looks very promising, will post a scrot when I get it setup.
