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
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
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
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
I checked out archiso gitlab the other day and it turns out I am way out of date with source file and recent changes.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….
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
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
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
One of the biggest issues (not using the word complaint) is that ArchBang does not provide any online support. Currently I am the only person working,running ArchBang. It would take up far too much time to manage a mailing list or forums. I can offer limited support if related to ArchBang via email. Anything else … Technical Support but not from Microsoft ©
Am currently uploading a new iso, mainly package updates. Had a little spare time this morning to make some changes to look and feel or ArchBang. Changed Openbox and Gtk3 themes. Colours in dunst, dmenu, conky and tint2. Also have made lxterminal a little less black 😉 Was tempted to add battery support to tint2 … New iso and some themes updates
