Hosting, Domains and Support

Looking to upgrade my hosting and domains, maybe even look at some form of support forum. To this end I am looking for help. Downloads of ArchBang are still at an all time high. Need to get Autumn release started so over next few weeks will be working towards changing themes and look. Firefox will Hosting, Domains and Support

Autumn release and updated iso

Have uploaded a new iso with updated kernel and packages. Am starting work on Autumn release very soon. Need to create custom theme for Openbox and GTK3, which will be based on the current Arc themes. May drop lxappearence live as there is little point changing gtk3 theme. Obconf will remain as it can be Autumn release and updated iso

Zen installer fix

Have noticed that in recent versions of ArchBang Zen-installer script fails. It seems that when I uncomment servers in local script the world wide mirrors (first in list) are used. These servers do not seem fully up to date and script fails as it cannot find certain required libraries. Future releases will force user to Zen installer fix

Late build

Have had a few days away, now back to the builds. Will very shortly start uploading an updated iso. If I have time I may start working towards Autumn release. Other jobs this week is get archbang.org SSL certificate working. Very long winded process but worth it in the end. Anyway uploading now… Stay safe Late build

Quick update

Uploaded a fresh iso today, basically a package update. Still working on source files have to sort journalctl (a file rename in installer). Still amazed at sheer number of downloads. Am going to test a fresh install of ArchBang under virtualbox as some users are having issue with missing libraries. Did not seem to have Quick update

RC iso version on the way

After a few hours work I am very close to a ‘rc’ version of ArchBang. Still need to test/check uefi. Did miss a variable in syslinux config but have fixed that. If you hit TAB at boot screen you will see ‘%ARCH%’ which should be x86_64. Am uploading a new version now so should be RC iso version on the way

Last update….

I checked out archiso gitlab the other day and it turns out I am way out of date with source file and recent changes. Will have to work on getting source up to date along with config files. Am really hoping it will reduce image size. Next release will be ‘rc’ until I can be Last update….

Weekly update

Yesterday uploaded a new iso just to keep things up to date. Still working on an Artix version kind of works but needs a little more work before I release it. Autumn release I am really tempted to switch to a tiling window manager but I know that would upset many users. Am messing around Weekly update

Summer Release

Finally a Summer release 😉 Updated packages and minor fixes to themes and configs. Have removed /etc/skel source from iso as it is not needed post iso build, will not affect installation. Am going to work on a script (which I should have done years ago!) to make changing theme colours easier. Always forget one Summer Release

Early update

Well 5.7 kernel is here, some minor updates and small changes to iso source. Gone from Alpine linux back to Arch then too Artix runit on my laptop. Still thinking about a systemd free version of ArchBang. Did not have that much interest in it before so maybe Vole will go Artix runit. Truth is Early update
