How to add LinuxBBQ System Tool?

[missinglink]

MB et al,
Tips/howto on adding the LinuxBBQ System Tool to any of the general purpose roasts that do not come with it?
My basic giveaway BBQ roast is Trollinger32, endowed with the mighty tool. But there are others I use - and more importantly pass along to others - that could benefit.
Obviously not looking to screw up the minimal/cli blends ...

Look in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml (on T32). You'll see that the menu calls "bbqsys" -- this is a bash script in /usr/bin. This script calls some other helper scripts (like bbqcups and bbqasian). You can see what other scripts it calls by looking at the code. I don't know if bacon has packaged the tool to make it portable, but you can copy the appropriate scripts from /usr/bin on Trollinger to any other Debian system. Once you figure out which scripts you need, you could make a tar file containing all the scripts to make it easy to copy all of them to another system. Ask if you need more help.

(edit) If bacon doesn't already have this packaged, and you don't want to try it yourself (but it would be a great way to learn more), I think I know which scripts need to go into a tar archive. Let me know if you want the list or the archive.

Thanks pidsley. Fact is that bbqsys is not really ready for the prime and quite hackish. There's a cli version of it which I'll post later, here. First have to get home:)

Okay here we are.

So, this is the bbq CLI starter (which is definitely working on every system, as long as dialog is installed). It is actually used for starting CLI apps, but it now includes the bbqfix (system tool). I prefer this over the graphical tool (using yad) because it does definitely run on literally every Debian flavour and remix.

As you can see, it calls different functions at the end of the file, the functions are all declared above. If you only want the bbqfix part, here it is:

Code: Select all

case $menuitem in
	w) sudo orphaner;;
	v) sudo apt-get install localepurge && sudo localepurge;;
	h) bbqcups;;
	i) sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all;;

	e) sudo update-grub;;
	f) sudo grubrepair;;
	g) sudo kernel-remover -F text;;
	b) main;;
	x) exit 0;;
esac

The other tools that are called there:

fixsnd
fixess
bbqcups
bbqasian
bbqnvidia
grubrepair
adblock-host

You find them in the Scripts section: http://www.linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewforum.php?f=15

Store the scripts as root in /usr/local/bin/ and make them executable (chmod +x) and readable for normal users (chmod 777)

The only problem is that I haven't yet ported bbqasian to use dialog, but I guess it's anyway not of interest for most. But it will come, very soon.

Thank you.

Thanks pidsley and MB.
Not on my BBQ machine right now - though I may try to screw things up when I get back to it.
I'll stay tuned for any additional thoughts.
