OPENBOX: BREAK! (586) Release Notes
This is the Openbox base that supersedes "BORK!".
BREAK!
The name says it all.
Let's see if you are the target audience. We have already filled in your answers in lipstick red.
You are not afraid of sid/experimental? lol, nope
GTK3 is on your blacklist? yesh sir
You don't need no systemd? fuck no
Your computer is from the last decade, has a RAM size of three digits and a CPU that powers a solar calculator? last decade? last millenium, bitch
You give a flying fuck about GPT and UEFI, just want to give your smelly Pentium a new home? yeah kinda
You promise not to use btrfs and lvm? i promise i use wtf instead
To update, upgrade and install packages you use the excellent 'apt' command? rofl no, i call the postman, asshole
You believe in beards, sandals, marijuana and/or clicky keyboards? i believe in dog...
You like process trees that don't need a scroll wheel to display all their beauty? what is "scroll wheel"?
You know that 'sudo bbqinstaller' will put the live system onto a prepared partition? none of your business
You remember that the password for the live session is 'root'? what was the root password again?
You have heard of the mighty 'adduser' wrapper? I might(y) use useradd, you bloatface
You absolutely want to change to root password after installation because 'root' is simply not safe enough? yeah i change it to four times zero
Congrats, you passed the test! Click this link. And you get this:
Oh and by the way: take a break!
BREAK!

Perfection! Best release notes since sliced bread.
Re: OPENBOX: BREAK! (586) Release Notes
Replaced the pwd by four times zero? That sounds as difficult algebra.. Since it is Openbox, is 'pussy' an alternative? :P

But dkeger seems to have a small problem ;)

Re: OPENBOX: BREAK! (586) Release Notes
Note: edit ~/.Xresources and check the last line there ;)
For scrots, by the way, there is an entry in the "Graphics" section of the Openbox menu
Bonus notes:
- clicking on the clock (left or right click) opens xclock or a calendar. To change this behavior, edit ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc (it is also in the Openbox menu)
- "playstream" plays the last selected tinyradio stream -- clicking on "playstream" again stops playback
- the difference between ~/.xinitrc and ~/.config/openbox/autostart is following: xinitrc manages the general, WM-agnostic autostart (eg. if you add another WM), while openbox/autostart manages the Openbox-specific WM startup
- I did /not/ add the Openbox menu editor called "obmenu" due to a heavy dependency count (python, glade, etc). On an installed system some users might prefer this graphical tool instead of editing the Openbox menu.xml manually
- The packaged kernel is still 4.2 -- within reason. The 4.3 and newer kernels have a bug that causes /some/ systems to boot without backlight. If you upgrade your kernel manually, be sure to install "xbacklight" and add to your ~/.xinitrc until they fix this bug upstream at kernel.org. On my Intel cards it stays black, people also reported problems with radeon GPUs. (eg. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/d ... 93525.html) or with different kernel revisions (eg. https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/29/280)

Hahaha!
Running it for hours and it smooth, even on my old HP Compaq nx 6110.
So a big thank you!

Re: OPENBOX: BREAK! (586) Release Notes
Another little tip:
if you install a 'real' browser, you can safely delete dillo. The 'real' browser will be linked to x-www-browser that is called from within the Openbox menu. Same applies for the editor, which is now set to nano.
If you want to manually adjust the preferences, run "Edit Default Applications" from within the System section of the Openbox menu. It will start update-alternatives which leads you through the settings.

Re: OPENBOX: BREAK! (586) Release Notes
Thanks MB!! Bye-bye Bork!! Downloading from NCU mirror in Taiwan. Sourceforge autoselect had me downloading from Kenya. WTF is up with that? BTW, 4.3.3 towo has been no problem for me on an old Intel card. And thanks again for adding the old firmware drivers to the release so I don't have to dick around adding 3945 firmware drivers to the firmware folder in the .iso like I do if installing straight Debian. Not that it's difficult, it's just an extra step I tend to forget at times and am rudely reminded of when installing some distros (like Crux or LFS in the past).
