NOX: LinuxBBQ Hipster (586) Release Notes

If you want to build a Sidstem ;) from scratch, you can try Hipster.

Download from the 2015 folder: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxbbq/files/2015/

Installation notes

Code: Select all

sudo bbqinstall /dev/sda /dev/sdaX
# or
sudo bbqinstaller
after installation, reboot the computer and log in as "root", password "root". Change the root password and add a new user:

Code: Select all

passwd root
adduser YOUR_USERNAME
exit
That's how to be hip:

log in with your username and password, then set the network up

Code: Select all

sudo ceni
update and upgrade the package cache

Code: Select all

upg
install the only program you will ever need

Code: Select all

ins emacs24-nox
enable automatic login to Emacs

Code: Select all

nano ~/.bash_profile

## this line starts Emacs automagically after login
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $TERM = "linux" && `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec emacs
That's all. Log out and back and you are hip.

Here the instructions how to get from NOX to X:
Change to TTY2 by pressing [Alt] [F2]
log in with your username and password, then set the network up

Code: Select all

sudo ceni
update and upgrade the package cache

Code: Select all

upg
install the stuff you need for X - the following line will install Xorg and some X11 utilities

Code: Select all

ins xserver-xorg x11-xserver-utils x11-utils xinit xauth x11-xkb-utils
of course you want dmenu, a terminal (in this example, urxvt), hsetroot for the wallpaper, OSD notifications, and a WM (in this example, jwm)

Code: Select all

ins suckless-tools rxvt-unicode-256color hsetroot xosd-bin jwm
edit .xinitrc and scroll down to the bottom. Add the window manager you want (right now it shows jwm)

Code: Select all

nano ~/.xinitrc

# you can add following line to start a terminal in your WM
# I add a sleep of 3 seconds, you can play around with the value
sleep 3s && x-terminal-emulator &

# by all means, the last line should read something like: 
exec x-window-manager
# or more specific
exec jwm
next, we need to make sure tmux is not running on TTY1 later on

Code: Select all

nano ~/.bash_profile

## this line starts X automagically after login
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $TERM = "linux" && `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec startx
If you don't like the 'automatic login to X', you can comment the line.

As next, edit the configuration files of your WM. They are stored in various locations, so check /etc/WINDOW_MANAGER_NAME or /usr/share/doc/WINDOW_MANAGER_NAME/ or even better: man x-window-manager
After this, you can safely log out and back (and pray!)

Code: Select all

exit
if everything is set up like written above, you should be in X after entering username and password. Depending on your window manager, you have to set keybindings for dmenu_run and x-terminal-emulator.

Have fun!

Great job, Sir Bacon.
With those release notes, the first one who gets it wrong should be punished.

Happy roasting, pidsley. I might need your help with a 64bit base - you know my 64bit machine has the shitty GeForce 6150 which seems to be problematic with newer kernels in live-boot. If I upload it later to sourceforge, would you give it a test (live session only would be fine)?

Absolutely. Just let me know when it's ready.

I thought we weren't doing any more 64-bit? :)

He wants to make me happy, I suppose.
Lovely man, this Baconator.

Also, I can do a test too if needed.

Thanks Pidsley and Gekko. Of course your happiness, dear Gekko, is one of my little aims :)

Well, I thought now that Sid is a moving target again, we could bring a new 64bit base for the whiners :)

I'll upload the ISO later, need to clean it up a bit first. Might take another day.

From DistroWatch.com
Ken Mays has announced the availability of a new OpenIndiana release, "Hipster" 2015.03.
This spin's name is 26 days too trendy for me to even consider installing.
