Still no sign of new kernel so I thought I would spend some time this week refreshing look of ArchBang. New themes, colours, background and quite a few changes to overall look. Obconf has gone from iso image [and AUR too it seems!], post install I would suggest lxappearance-obconf [gtk2] or the much heavier obconf-qt. … Spring is finally here….
Think obconf has been part of ArchBang from day one of its first release. Recent changes upstream have meant that Archlinux no longer supports package and now it can only be found in AUR. The bad news is that at the moment package is very broken. Am no expert but I assume the patches are … Loss of an old friend… obconf
Can see that 6.14 kernel is currently in testing repo, as soon as it hits core I will of course build and upload a new iso image. Been mostly messing around with sowm this week, forked the project so I could make it more of own. Still very much work in progress but have had … Waiting for a new kernel….
Sitting here with a cup of coffee going through ArchBang scripts with my new best friend CoPilot. Think it was more about making my random, sloppy code more readable. Hopefully they work the same as they did before. Have added coloured borders to Openbox windows, this is more to make active ones stand out more. … Small changes some you may even notice…
Well been a busy day, forget to add Firefox package so had to rebuild and upload image twice! Made some other small changes. Noticed an error during install so have fixed an issue with fstab, it will now use full UUIDs rather than PART ones for better security. As a bonus it has simplified the … What on earth have I done….
I run Gmail in Firefox and it normally pulls in all my ArchBang mail from my hosting server. Only recently I have had little or no emails from anyone. I had written an email today as mrgreen and gmail gave me a failed to deliver reply. Upon further investigation found that setting have changed so … Email failure….
I have made some small changes to installer. I was not happy about running mirrorlist with all servers active, it means post install you are mainly using those based in Albania. During install now you will be asked for your nearest location, you can of course select any server you wish and mirrorlist will be … Select your local server….now via abinstall
ArchBang has been a passion project of mine for over a decade. It started as a way to provide a simple, lightweight Arch-based distribution with Openbox, and over the years, it has gained a dedicated following. While I’ve always seen this as a labor of love, maintaining ArchBang comes with costs—domain registration, hosting, and hardware … Support ArchBang: Help Keep the Project Alive
Have just built and uploaded a new iso image with latest kernel and updated packages. Noticed that ReiserFS package has been drop by Arch, so I have removed it from packages shipped. Still thinking about a new installer for ArchBang. Made some small steps then switched tracks and started looking at Archinstall. Only problem I … A new kernel update and reiserfs dropped
With arrival of 6.13 kernel and the return of Broadcom-wl package I made a quick rc version for testing… Enjoy see you at the weekend…. Stay safe 😉
