Paardenrookvless Install

[wuxmedia]

some notes and minor quibbles you've probably already fixed;

forgot to wipe the partition before install so ended up with a mess, my fault.

noticed that;
intaller is titled 'oyster' yet it writes 'escargot' to the distro name...8D
icon link on top panel seems to not have terminal (IW and pluma are there) np
acyl doesn't seem to work, from the menu...
num lock is on by default - annoying for a laptop.
is the new black screen on boot console-setup? i think somethings not working well on the boot up, but can't see anything, takes ages, and on the liveusb i had some dhcp thing complaing about port 67?

thanks for this MATE 8)

Thank you for your feedback.

The issue name (Escargot) and installer name (Oyster) are the releases they derive from. Paardenrookvlees was built on an Escargot base, and the Installer was introduced with the Oyster release.

The ACYL link doesn't work from the menu, because it can't call one configurator tool for two different ACYL themes. You can safely remove the entry by right-clicking on the Menu icon, Edit Menu, and there removing (or changing) the entries.

The "numlock on" is a MATE default - personally, I haven't turned on numlock for the remaster. For the next release I will remove the automatic NumLock on.

Try the second or third entry in the Live Boot menu. I had to implement different uvesa and vga settings for all kinds of older and newer hardware; or you can remove the entry 'quiet' and change it to 'verbose' to get more output.
If you have already installed Paardenrookvlees and you don't use DHCP (it was included to make sure that DHCP users get a working network connection at startup), you can remove 'dhcpd' or use Ceni or Network Manager to change from DHCP to Manual IP. That's the 'Error on Port 67' -- the computer is waiting for an IP address assigned by the router. When DHCP was not added, many users complained they didn't have an automatic network connection. It's hard to please everyone :)

No problem, a pleasure. thanks for the support.

OK I just got confused (very easily done) 8)

Ok. i haven't had much luck, or tried very hard with acyl.. (see above)

on = annoying for laptops - off = annoying for desktop (105 keys) 8)

better than wondering 'hmm what's coleman Click?' when i was configuring the keyboard. Then wondering why login doesn't work, then another hour carefully translating coleman to GB so my password worked 8)

I'll try that - i quite like the wall of text console output.

i think i am using dhcp - i think i can assign 'static' ips on my subnet..

if anyone's gonna please all of the people all of the time it'll be MachineBacon 8)

Move the /usr/share/icons/ACYL folder (!) into your user's icons: ~/.icons/

Edit the file ~/.icons/ACYL/AnyColorYouLike

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/.icons/ACYL/scalable/scripts/
exec ~/.icons/ACYL/scalable/scripts/script_gui.py $@

[wuxmedia]

^ did that - no joy
i get the window up and start changing things, but i get this.

Code: Select all

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './current_state/gui_config.ini'
Can't remove ./preview_icons/actions.svg: Permission denied, skipping file.
Can't remove ./preview_icons/apps.svg: Permission denied, skipping file.
Can't remove ./preview_icons/emblems.svg: Permission denied, skipping file.
Traceback (most recent call last):

running as root, isn't much help.

You can simply download the original ACYL installer and try with that, it is the same (actually I wanted to keep the tarball in downloads but didn't talk with the guy who wrote it)

Or of course install a 'real" icon theme from the repos. As said, this is MATE base to produce your own spin (bbqsnapshot) so it is ought to be customized to your likings ;)

^ you are a legend 8)
will try that cheers

[wuxmedia]

about removing dhcpd?
it does stall at that point.
remember i am a bit thick..

[machinebacon]

I'm positive that dhcpd is not installed by default :)
There are two ways to get rid of DHCPDISCOVER:
1) let Ceni manage the connections -> sudo ceni -> remove configuration -> reconfigure the adapter -> Static IP -> fill in all fields -> finished
2) let NM manage the connection -> remove the Wired Connections in nm-applet -> Create a new one -> Set it to IPv4 or IPv6 Manual -> fill in all fields -> finished
