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
Two things have bothered me for some time now, sound and booting. Managed to bring syslinux up to date and was planning on getting uefi booting in line with it. Then I looked at archiso which ArchBang is built from and they use grub efi, so figured I would try it out. First thing I … ArchBang is so 2012….
Archlinux has updated its kernel so I have updated iso image and uploading it. Like to keep things fresh and bleeding edge as best I can. Have enabled google ads again on ArchBang site as donations are at an all time low. This will give a small income to cover costs of hosting with no … A quick update to bring you latest kernel
I am uploading a new iso image as I type. No major changes but I have some small fixes to do with syslinux live bootloader. Memtest and Hardware utils should work now. Booting local hard drive should work too but your mileage may vary, it is looking as sda1 as the first bootable device so … Quick iso update with some small fixes…
