Was thinking the other day abut when I started to use linux. At that time I was using Gnome, had the icons on the desktop and pointed and clicked everything. Being n an old pc (think it was 266Mhz) it of course was slow. Had read a lot about Openbox and how fast and light … Workflow
Have quite a few things on my todo list but one thing that is bothering me at the moment is I am thinking of switching ArchBang too i3 window manager. Not used Openbox for well over 5 years now as my daily window manager. While I still use a mouse for surfing the web, most … Another week a new iso…
Still working on getting Summer release stable and am making small changes to Openbox rc.xml. One of things I really liked in ArchCraft was that the aero snap feature using just Super and arrow keys. So have removed the need for Shift key in keybind, makes it easier to use. Also changed conky to allow … Having a break….
Uploading a new version of ArchBang32 with a minor fix to abinstall, to allow it to run from keybind/menu. Sneak peek at Summer version… Sorry for the noise… Stay safe 😉
I have no idea what I was thinking while testing out my vintage ArchBang iso. No idea why but I decided to try and install it, in my arch32 virtual machine. This wiped out my 32bit build virtual machine. So had to think fast, reinstall archbang32. Drag in archbang source files. Modify them to work … 32bit iso Fail….
Another week another iso. Mostly updates nothing more. Do have to update archiso and add some more to openbox config. Been testing out ArchCraft. Very slick and beautiful to look at, Openbox never looked better. Over the years I had removed the pipe menus that came with ArchBang in its early days. Check out ArchBang … Upcoming changes and a blast from the past!
After updating my system I noticed that pacman 6 has been released. Thought it would be nice to bring iso up to date so everyone can try it out. Will remove alpha release… Enjoy 😉
I do a lot of testing of ArchBang live under a Virtual Machine and one thing I miss is a way of opening a terminal to fill screen. Unlike other terminals Lxterminal does not have a maximize option. So after some reading online and trying out different options. From rc.xml file: Add key bind…[Super+Enter] <keybind … Lxterminal fullscreen from a keybind….
Another week another updated iso. Found that dmenu was not working live so have fixed that, am guessing no one really uses it. Dmenu is quite a useful thing to have, hit Super (windows key) and ‘d’ and a menu pops up at top of screen. Type in a application name, select it or just … Back to normal and Dmenu fix!
New iso is available (beta for now), should now have nvme support. Added a you tube video on pacman 6, wanted to see what all the hype is. Watch it here! Would not normally install Gnome but it a good way of seeing how it works (and it looks fast) Currently it is in staging … Updated iso available and a quick video on pacman 6
