LinuxBBQ

Testers wanted!

I haven't built on Debian Stable for a while, that's why I do not officially call it "Release". If you are really brave, you can try and install it with "sudo bbqinstaller". Again: do only install it on a system you can fix and where no important data is stored!

After installation, reboot, log in as root with password root, and then immediatey run Notes:
- sysvinit
- kernel 3.16.04 (no overlay support, this is still using aufs, so no warranty for remastering)
- no GTK
- CLI tools only in a populated 9menu
- xterm, tmux, xosd, alsamixer, weechat, suckless-tools, links, ceni, mc, ncdu, mpg123 and BBQ tools included
- evilwm from the repos
- alt-d opens dmenu, alt-z opens 9menu, alt-o opens an OSD, alt-t opens tmux
- by default, Ctrl-Alt-Return spawns a terminal in evilwm

Good luck, and please report back here. There might be rough edges, you have been warned.

Please wait for sourceforge to sync.

Count me in. I've never touched EvilWM, but I like a good adventure :)

^ cool, thanks in advance. I'm not a big fan of it (using the binary) because of three things -- you will probably notice these too :D

Me neither. evilwm virgin. Downloading whatsoever.

A stable release! Exciting! I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next few days, but I'll try to give it a spin as well... probably be reporting back sometime around Monday or Tues :)

^^/^ Thanks, and for anyone who reports back, please let me know if you tested

[ ] live from ISO
[ ] installed
[ ] live in VBox/VM
[ ] installed in VBox/VM

Will do sometime today ;) and thanks.

EDIT: SF out to lunch may have to revisit over the weekend.

Thanks bacon. sourceforge is being stupid right now, but I will download and test this later today or tomorrow.

I love evilwm; it is my favorite light stacker. One thing I don't like about it is the middle-mouse-resize behavior (the middle mouse button on my wireless mouse does not work well for this.) There is no config option to change the mouse button, but it's easy to fix with a simple edit to the source, or using the patch from here.

If anyone wants to change this and needs more instructions, I can write a how-to topic later.

^ I use the patch and works smoothly. ;)

pidsley, thanks - yes, that's the 3rd thing I didn't really like about evilwm. You get the Bronze Medal :)

(originally I wanted to keep evilwm as is, this is also the reason I didn't build from source, apart from the added build dependencies -- OTOH I don't think I will switch to evilwm in the near future. If somebody wants to hack away on it, it is easy enough to git the sources or change the sources.list and get them from the repos)

A quickie from here, live and installation in vbox worked smoothly. Looks cool, but evilwm is not for me, I am too much of a pussi ;D

Thank you for reporting back, vic ;) Well, simply download mate-desktop on top of it :D

Finally got it to download. Runs live fine, installs and runs fine. Thank you for the "setup-bbq" script.

There is a bug in the /usr/local/bin/env-info script in this install. I am not sure how this happened, or how long it has been there. Probably my fault somewhere.

In the "print-disk" function, this line: should be ("used" is field 3 in the df output, not field 2); I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much for this release. I usually put a stable netinstall on sda1 of all my test machines to control grub and give me a stable place to boot and mess with test installs when necessary. Using this spin will make this much easier.

@@@@@@pidsley

I think I remember something about the output of df changing, maybe last year?
ANyway, I remember that I had to change your script, after df got upgraded some time ago.

#env-info #df #pony



My Kocsonya seems to work fine, as far as I can see. Both live from an sd card, and installed.
Nice neat little install, thanks!

pidsley, I did change the RAM line but not the disk line in env-info. honestly, I simply didn't pay attention to disk
it was just obvious for me when it showed a RAM usage over 150MB, then I remembered the change in "free" (proc-ng package). didn't know that df also needs a change (coreutils package, which apparently is also newer in sid than in jessie).

thanks for the reports so far!

Tested both live and installed in Virtualbox. All smooth.

Perhaps boring, but on my virtualbox live and installed, there wasn't any problem. If everything goes well today I'll give it a try on bare metal (there must be a sempron 2200+ somewhere).

^ thank you. By all means back up your data first

Downloading again.

SF = Slighlty Faster than a slow boat from China. :D
