LinuxBBQ

This is the Openbox base that replaces "Hot Dog"/"Weckewerk".

BORK! The name says it all. You are not afraid of sid/experimental? GTK3 is on your blacklist? You don't need no systemd? Your computer is from the last decade, has a RAM size of three digits and a CPU that powers a solar calculator? You give a flying fuck about GPT and UEFI, just want to give your smelly Pentium a new home? You promise not to use btrfs and lvm? To update, upgrade and install packages you use the excellent 'apt' command? You believe in beards, sandals, marijuana and/or clicky keyboards? You like process trees that don't need a scroll wheel to display all their beauty? You know that 'sudo bbqinstall' or 'sudo bbqinstaller' will put the live system onto a prepared partition?

GOOD! Click me. And you get this:
Note:
- after installation and reboot, run the command 'username2xres' once.

nice. I'll probably need a 64 version, one day :)

Nice painless install.

Thanks for making me drag a 64 bit capable machine out of the pile.

^ Thanks for reporting back. Happy roasting!

@bacon Should I remove Hot Dog and Weckewerk from the Active releases list ?

^ Yes, thank you.

Wuhuuu, thank you Julius. 64bit here I come :D
BTW Why no VI(M) here?!? And Nano sucks for editing configs on the go. <----- sorry couldn't help myself again :P So much weird action has happened in the BBQ forums lately.

cheers
Simon

^ The answer is:

sudo apt-get install kwrite

;)

Yeah - What's wrong with installing even something like KATE and using the Vi eumulation mode? jesus Some people, and if you're using 64 bit to access that 16Gb on your 1TB SSD i7 then you can afford it :P

Dear sir bacon, very kind of you to update the 64 bit part of the grill. Thank you! (I do not have any 64 bit hardware for the moment, it went very kaputt, but wanted to thank you anyway :)

^ You're welcome :)

Installed on my recent purchase, all well, so time to mess it up I guess. :D

Was excited to try this out but I'm running it now on Oracle Virtualbox on a Window 7 machine using a 64 bit virtual session and it stops the boot process because of the display. I had to run VGA mode m from the boot menu. Will see if I can fix the downloaded version linuxbbq-bork-amd64-20150526 with a customized snapshot with the correct mode to work in a Virtualbox session.

:)


Edit: OK created a snapshot and during bbqsnapshot I changed the bootmenu default choice to use vga=0x0314 instead of vga=current. Might not be a perfect solution for everyone but it works flawlessly in Virtualbox. I chose the mode from http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/os-xlinux/xl ... al-5.7.htm (Section 8.12)

Oh and btw. I am loving a few new things. I didn't have to touch the bbqinstall_excludes to create a live snapshot. NICE!!! ty

^ Before anybody bites your head off: never mention the word "VirtualBox" on these forums.

^ WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?!?!!?!

^ censored word list? :)
even my server is not optimised for virtual nonsense...

Why discuss virtuality? When we got hd reality!

Oh jeez ... OK here is the G-Rated version of the first post.

Blah blah blah blah ... am loving a few new things. I didn't have to touch the bbqinstall_excludes, Mc-lovin the ftp status bar (was never there before) blah blah blah love the solar power borkOS.

^ hehe no worries, it's just because kernels 3.19, 3.20 and 4.0 have several problems with/in VirtualBox, at least they were problematic in the last revisions, e.g. no login to X, no disk access, etc.
Google for "virtualbox kernel 4" to see what I mean :)

hello @machinebacon , one question how can i make the autologin ? the method i made in other grill distro dont work for me in Bork!

and second, its possible to launch an app with framebuffer? because a i have a frontend (emulationstation) from my old games that i want start without the X (i know this last question could be better ask in their forum but, is fully of spam of rubber dildo´s ).

thanks in advance , and sorry for my primitive english.

pd, im really fan of bbqApps
