CWM: Smoothie (586) Release Notes

Unread post by machinebacon » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:33 am

Three plus one reasons for a new spin:
1) It's weekend.
2) We celebrate our 3rd birthday soon.
3) Time for a new "autumn" release.
4) Sid behaves normal.

LinuxBBQ Smoothie is a 32-bit release featuring the infamous CWM window manager. This Smoothie comes with the newest 4.2 kernel from Debian and sysvinit. There are some minimal changes:

- a new "setup" script that grabs the newest Xresources colors from github
- this also means that "git" is included
- for convenience, SSH is up and running
- GCC-5 transition completed
- "bbqshift" added as bloat- and gtk-free "redshift" alternative
- the original BSD "ex/vi" for the whining bitches who can't type "busybox vi" or "apt install <vi-clone of choice>"
- the married users on this forums prefer shadows under their undecorated windows, so "compton" is added

The artwork is completely stolen from dkeg: I used his 'fogrun' photo as wallpaper and 'sunlight' as default Xresources theme. Thank you for that!

Quick installation notes:
As usually, run the ISO from CD or USB. In the terminal, enter 'sudo bbqinstaller' for the classic ncurses installer or 'sudo bbqinstall' for the plain CLI version. After installation, "reboot" the computer, remove the media and log in as "root" with the password "root". Remember to change that later ("passwd root"). Then enter "setup" and create a new user with this script. "exit" and log in with your newly created username and password.

How to CWM:
- Alt-Enter for a terminal
- Alt-d for time and date OSD
- Alt-p for dmenu
- "playstream" always plays the last played "tinyradio" stream -- it's a start/stop entry in cwm's menu
- read the manpage and ~/.cwmrc before wasting your (and our) time with questions like "how to close a window" (by the way, it's Ctrl-Alt-x)

Troubleshooting:
- I have not tested this ISO in VirtualBox. If you try it, make sure to create a disk with "fixed size" and play around with EFI settings. Pretty please don't waste your time asking us VirtualBox support questions. If you have a solution (or you tried it and it works), let us know. Else: google for "kernel 4.2 virtualbox" and remember: LinuxBBQ is Debian sid.
- if you don't run "setup" and instead only add a new user ("adduser") you will end up without xcolors. You can get them later by running "git clone https://github.com/linuxbbq/xcolors" and add

Code: Select all

#include </home/USERNAME/.Xresources_colors>
to ~/.Xresources. You want it that way.
- change color themes using "dkeger"
- A static kernel (vanilla 4.2) is installed. If you want to have a dynamic one, install "linux-image-586" or "linux-image-686-pae" or "linux-image-siduction-686" or "linux-image-siduction-686-pae".
- The experimental sources are enabled but packages get not pulled by default. Use "bbqpkg" or explicitly "apt install -t experimental" for an elegant way to bork your system.
- Oh yeah, talking of APT: you can use "apt install" instead of "apt-get install", or simply just "ins"
- Use your brain. The manpage of cwm is "man openbsd-cwm", the config file is ~/.cwmrc
- Generally, BBQ operating systems are for old, shitty computers. We don't add GTK and QT. Fuck, we even hesitate adding X, python or Perl to the base releases. Keep this in mind before you start complaining about missing features: you got APT.

Enough barking, let's start borking. Here's Smoothie.

Time to retire the vitamin C install, maybe...

Thanks!

Gave it a quick spin live, and it really feels and looks smooth

Well to be honest Machine I try other distros and they usually suck and don't have the stability or such low ram usuage as BBQ. I always end up comming back, I like the little quirky things like BBQRadio and Frenchmaid etc and nothings beats Ceni for wireless networking. Anyway as always I appreciate the sweat and creativity you put into each release.

Lets face it LinuxBBQ is like great sex and great wine and Beer.
