Well this week I have been changing the look and some functions of polybar. Was inspired by these amazing themes by Aditya Shakya. With endless configuration possible I was trying to find the right balance to give a more modern yet functional feel. Panel is now at the top of screen, desktops are center and … In this action packed episode….
Ok so it seems mvuser throws an error while trying to set up a new user. My mistake I removed a space in code, fixed now. Some other rebranded of installer has been made. Do need to look at Grub set up, maybe work outside of chroot to reduce errors. Not sure about a nvidia … A quick fix and a new iso image…
Just wanted to try to make everyone aware that although ArchBang has a new name the focus of the project remains. Have no intention of giving up archbang.org as you will see in your address bar, greenbang.org simply redirects to it. Sourceforge will remain as ArchBang as it would only confuse new users and old … Concerns about change of name….
Hey folks, I’ve been doing some thinking (dangerous, I know 😉). ArchBang has carried me—and hopefully you—through more than a decade of lightweight, no-nonsense Linux goodness. But the times, they are a-changin’, and I’d like the distro to keep growing without bumping into trademark trip-wires or artificial walls. Why even consider a new name? Trademark … A Little Green Bang for Your Buck 💚💥
Uploaded an updated image, mostly fresh packages and latest kernel. However I have done a bit of recycling regards to theme, have transferred SwayBang look into ArchBANG. New background, well new to ArchBANG… theme colour changes. Polybar has been refreshed to new colours and have moved date module to give more visual balance. Conky has … ArchBANG has a new look…
Not really paid much notice of setting up sound in ArchBang as live I did not see it as such a high priority. To be of any real use you do need a working network connection. However with some user feedback decided to test sound set up in SwayBang and it works. Have now added … I can hear ArchBang now….
Every so often, I like to step back and explore different window managers or compositors, especially those that might offer something lightweight and interesting for the ArchBang project. Recently, I decided to spend some time with Labwc, a Wayland compositor inspired by Openbox. Since ArchBang is traditionally based on Openbox, it made sense to look … Testing Labwc – Why It Might Not Be Right for ArchBang
Have had quite a bit of feedback on SwayBang, one user has given me plenty to think about. Am uploading a new iso image with quite a few small changes. Will state it is nothing major but just makes things run a little easier. A list in no means any particular order: PATH variable is … SwayBang does not have bugs it has new features….
Just a quick heads up, 6.15 is out. Rebuilt both images and am uploading them now. One minor fix in ArchBang for dmenu, switched it too Super + Shift + d as not to clash with Openbox show desktop mode. Removed bind from conky for now as just did not look nice 😉 Now I … 6.15 Kernel is out, so am updating images again!
So iso image 0806 is not working, thanks to everyone for letting me know. Quite a easy fix as I had simply mixed up .bash_profile with the one for SwayBang ;-( As you can see all is well again in the world, am uploading a new image now. Only human and I do make mistakes, … Well that did not go as planned….. ;-(
