Just downloaded rc2 and installed to Virtualbox.
You fixed the conky startup, but the info it shows???

System Information
User:mark@xxxxxx

Disk USE
System SSD

NETWORK
WAN IP XXXXXXXXXX

Info needs to be deleted from somewhere.

Also for Thunar to Browse Network I had to install gvfs-backends

Will continue to look through it - keep up the good work.

Thank you, Earl. The system info is an edit in the conky. I'll see if I can find the conky command.

Disk Use & SSD are per configuration. Here's the conky code:

Code: Select all


${image img/hard-disk.png -p 0,585 -s 30x30}
${offset 35}${font Good Times:size=12}${color2}DISK USE ${color}${hr 2}${font}
${voffset 15}${color}System SSD:
${color}Used: ${color}${fs_used /} of${color1}${fs_size /} ${color}~ Free: ${color0}${fs_free /} ${color}or${color0} ${fs_free_perc /}% ${color}
${color lightgrey}Read: $color${diskio_read}${alignr}${color lightgrey}Write: ${color}${diskio_write}
${diskiograph_read /dev/sda 10,160 FFFF14 FFFF14 -l}${diskiograph_write /dev/sda 10,160 48FF1C 48FF1C -l}
Edit:
Found User= $user_names (fixed)
I'll add gvfs-backends install to the setup.(fixed, add to the base install)

Any chance that you are making a iso from your project?

To be honest, I don't really know yet. It certainly is not difficult to build a BunsenLabs Openbox desktop on MX19b3 following the instructions in the tutorial I provide (at least I think it is). :bagoverhead:

There are many tasks with building/ maintaining isos that make creating and maintaining isos a chore from my end. Because I revise more than 6 different desktop environments, I am not sure I want to take on the responsibility of becoming a maintainer, especially for those I only rarely (and casually) use, like Openbox. :lipsrsealed:

As you may have noted from my signature block, I am primarily a bspwm user on MX18.3. That's my 'current' window manager of choice. I currently plan to build a bspwm respin on version 19 (once released) antiX & MX. :needcoffee:

I have fixed all reported bugs (by my testing) and changed the wallpapers to be more screen-size independent. Unless I hear otherwise, I think this release is very close to being 'ready for prime-time'.

You may download the current RC from here (it should be uploaded/available about 1930 UTC today 19 May 2019) :

You can install openbox from the standard repos. As far as the tools, it depends on what you want to do. You will probably at first want to do some web searches on something like "how to customize openbox."

Have a look at MX snapshot too.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

@Rarou If you want to work with, or play around with, BunsenLabs (BL) on a non-systemd Debian platform, here is a method by which you can install BL on antiX19.

EDIT: FWIW this method works on MX as well.
