Do not normally do this but I have changed Spring release background as I thought old one was a bit too gloomy. Slight theme change, moved Conky to left side of screen and changed its colour to make it more readable. Will work on launcher colours at some point. Need to look at Guide (site … New Spring ArchBang iso background…
Was thinking that background in Spring release looked at bit too winter like, so I have changed it. Made other minor changes to theme colours. Had to make a minor change to installer to remove correctly abinstall from target device. Also during install mkinitcpio creates initramfs using zstd as standard. Other things I will work … Spring changes to wallpaper, theme and installer.
Have had quite a week my car is finally fixed after 5 weeks of being off the road. Am now £400 worse off and to top it all I had a puncture while riding my bike home last night from work. Good news is pay day yesterday, got a long weekend as Monday here in … Cars, bikes and Dynamic Tiling in i3….
One of the best features in DWM was the way it allowed dynamic tiling of windows. You can do this in i3 but it involves many key binds and reduces workflow. Have used autotiling script in the past but found it did not work all the time. Came across this which uses python libraries to … Adding dynamic tilting to i3
I always knew updating to latest archiso would cause issues. Basically archiso creates archlinux live media and as it does installation using a network connection it has no need on kernel image, microcode or initramfs. So during creation of iso it removes all of them, this causes a problem with ArchBang as you need kernel … A few fixes, possible improvements and a new iso image
I have just noticed that there is an error is latest release. Turns out that by using stock archiso files in /boot are removed once iso is built. This means that if you are installing ArchBang no kernel or initramfs will be present. Am rebuilding iso image and will get it uploaded. Forgive me as … Update to latest iso image
Another week, a new kernel release so am building and uploading a new iso image. Been looking again at wayland window managers, sway would be a drop in replacement for i3 then I came started reading abut something else. Hyprland is a very feature rich candy filling dynamic tiling window manager. Personally there is way … Quick iso update
Have been asked about a systemd free version of ArchBang. There is a version of sorts albeit based on Void linux called Project Vole. It uses runit as its init system and is systemd free. As for an arch based iso I have two options, Artix or Obarun. Artix is Archlinux systemd free project and … My thoughts on systemd free ArchBang….
Turns out my change to pipewire has failed. Bascially pavucontrol does not connect to server and so you have no sound live. There is a workaround if only a little long winded. Set your local mirrors via abserver, update and install pulseaudio package then run pulseaudio –start. This should allow pavucontrol and sound to work. … Seems things are a bit quiet….
Just to make users aware I have found a small issue with installer. Mirrorlist changed recently to include Argentina mirrors, code looked for Australia [then top of list]. Anyway I had made the change with installer and should be fine now. Abserver script is unaffected as I had already updated it. Over weekend I have … Found a small issue with installer
