CrunchBang 9.04?

iggykoopa · 2009-05-22 20:01:13

I'm using kdm now because of some issues with gdm and the logout script still works...you may not have to change anything.

As for GDM, its mostly used for reboot/shutdown. #! uses oblogout which sends the commands to GDM. If you use SLiM, you can just use these commands:
sudo shutdown -r now (reboot)
sudo shutdown -h now (shutdown)

Thanks- I was intending to use 'sudo poweroff' and 'sudo reboot', but this seems like a better idea.

I've been trying to find a way to hibernate/suspend from the command line (and hence a way to put it in a script)- does GDM handle this or is there a Bash command for it?

Found it. 'pm-suspend' and 'pm-hibernate'. I'm not sure if these depend in some way on GDM or Gnome. I think not- 'apropos pm-suspend' turned up nothing except the man page for the command.

I finally bit the bullit and did the script,,I got it all up and going,,I love the way it looks.
I darkened it up some,,LOL,,It seems fast and sooth,,So far im very happy.
What im trying to figure out is how to add stuff to the bottom panel...
Any helpfull hints would be appreciated.

BMPanel doesn't support applets if thats what youre asking.

BTW: to change themes, you just have to kill bmpanel and then run "bmpanel themename".

Yep,,thats what i was asking,,,Thanks for the quick reply..
Was trying to add a menu like 8.10,,Or make it transparent like the old one.
I like the way 9.04 works,,so far no issues.

Hello, I'm not really all that hyped about 9.04. I'm already running kernel 2.6.30 R6, there isn't a package in my library that isn't already the most recent. So I'm not really sure what 9.04 can offer.

anonymous · 2009-05-25 17:54:32

How did you get all updated packages?

Yeah there is, kernel 2.6.30 R7 is out tongue

Hi, y'all!

I had been using #! 8.10.xx lite with openbox for a while on my aging 800 MHz AMD PC with 512 MB RAM. Everything worked fast and without the slightest problem.

Then I decided to try the 9.04 installation script in two new partitions (/ and /home) using the ubuntu mini.iso (or whatever it's called). I did the minimum CLI install, downloaded the installer script as described above, performed the 9.04 lite (openbox) install and WOW -- everything worked! And seems to be faster than 8.10.xx as well!! cool

Thanks for the great work!

Best regards,

Hi guys,

I guess my questions are more for Crunch Master - Corenominal

I there any way to edit you build script for 9.04.01
so that it downloads only certain apps

I like the apps included in CrunchEEE 8.10.02 but i want the base to be 9.04

The only apps i need to use

Run: GMRun
Terminal: Terminator / xfce4-terminal
PDF : XPDF instead of Evince
Text Editor : Leafpad and or Gedit
VOIP : Skype
Video : VLC
Image View : GPicView
Web Cam : Cheese
Notes : XPAD

Web Browser - Firefox 3.0.10 or Seamonkey 1.1.16 (web browser + email),w/ shockwave Flash 10 (Latest),Little Fox Theme (FireFox) , Little Monkey (Seamonkey)

Add Localepurge (en,en_us)

FTP Client - a plug-in to Firefox/seamonkey (FireFTP ?)
Bit Torrent - Transmission-GTK

I like Terminator also xfce4-terminal
and Thunar a bit more than PCMan FM

SLIM instead of GDM

(smiley face instead of @)
C|_ |9 !!!
B|@|0 !!
L|_ |4 !

anonymous · 2009-06-10 18:02:20

iirc the installer script just pulls in the CrunchBang metapackage which then pulls in the rest of the apps.

I think you would be better off just doing the minimal Ubuntu installation and then installing only the apps you want. The commands you would run would be:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xorg xterm slim gksu synaptic openbox gmrun terminator xfce4-terminal xpdf leafpad skype vlc gpicview cheese xpad firefox flashplugin-nonfree transmission thunar

Hmm... I'm just wondering, if there is no set date for #! 9.04 yet (or if there are some shot stopping bugs...), perhaps we can wait for #! 9.10 based on Koala?

There's no date set, these things tend to get released when they get released. wink

There's nothing 'show stopping' - from a couple of threads on the subject it seems like possibly half the frequent posters here are using 9.04.

The boss might be tinkering with replacing GDM, wondering about the panel to use or just playing with themes or just taking it easy.

Assuming no major changes in the offing then 9.04 can easily be installed now via two methods: 1) Mimimal Ubuntu 9.04 plus script, 2) 'Unofficial' iso.

And if you like 9.10 I can heartily recommend 9.10 NBR:

^^ is pretty much spot on! Sorry for the delays with 9.04.01, things have been a bit manic at my end and I have not been able to dedicate as much time to the project as I would have liked over the last few weeks. Hopefully work and other commitments will calm down soon. Meanwhile, I have heard that the unofficial 9.04.01 CrunchBang release is working quite well.

ThreepWood · 2009-06-20 10:44:43

me still a newbee (bzzz), and ran into my first problem with 8.10 crunchee - namely intel video drivers on eee901.
Will this 9.04 #! get it right? i red some stuff about new intel drivers in the new release...

Till then, would a kernel update (to 2.29.x.y or 2.30.x.y) do any good for me?
(if so, i WILL ask about how it's done...:P)

iggykoopa · 2009-06-20 13:08:14

I've noticed a slight improvement with the newer drivers, nothing earth shattering but it is noticeable. A kernel update may help some but you should also install the newer xorg-video-intel drivers from the xorg-edgers ppa.

ThreepWood · 2009-06-20 19:06:05

iggykoopa, alway first on answering me! cheers Mate!

sorry for being off the topic a little bit...

i red that these drivers need some kernel patch(?) of 'agpgart' and 'drm'...is it so with the new kernel You using too? or does it already incorporate these?
what kernel You using? (and where to get it?)
this 'xorg-edgers ppa' is done with 'git'? I'll need to catch up more to be able to USE all the help i'm getting...

anonymous · 2009-06-20 19:19:27

No the PPA is added to your sources.list file for apt-get.

Also I would try the X Updates PPA first:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

It has updated xorg drivers but theyre less bleeding edge than xorg-edgers PPA.

iggykoopa · 2009-06-20 20:48:48

well if you have everything backed up and are willing to run a little bleeding edge here is what I would recommend.... Download the 9.04 minimal ubuntu install disk and install that, then go into the /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all instances of intrepid with karmic. Then do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then:
wget http://crunchbanglinux.org/build-script … 9.04.01.sh
chmod +x crunchbang-installer-9.04.01.sh
sudo ./crunchbang-installer-9.04.01.sh
when that is done you will be running a karmic alpha version of #!. It has been running very stable for me, but just to let you know this is totally unofficial and just because it worked for me it may not work for you. And really make sure your stuff is backed up first as this will be a fresh install.

ThreepWood · 2009-06-20 23:24:13

i did install these X Updates, and that solved me problem...got that thing under wine running!
thanks a lot to You people.

iggykoopa, i'm just running low on backup space, so clean installs are not my options for now. I was hoping to "patch"/update the OS i have.

Now glxgears are spinnin' like 600 fps LESS (!) than before, but stuff is at least drawn in wine+terragen.
As far my understanding goes, this was just an X update (:P), and probably i should walk the long road of updating the kernel modules agpgart and drm, the libdrm (although i think this was included in some form in X update), and the mesa and 3D driver as stated here.
But all these stuffs are just waaaay of topic...

anonymous · 2009-06-21 04:29:42

If your interesting in fixing the intel problem, take a look at this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582

By using the X Updates PPA you already completed Part B, but you may want to read the thread and also do Part A.

Hi, I did a minimal about six weeks ago but my memory isn't clear. Basically, is 'install' same as 'command-line install'? If not, which should I choose? (I chose install...).

Also correction: it's all appearances of *jaunty* to 'karmic'. And you need a sudo apt-get update in there.

ThreepWood · 2009-06-21 07:55:43

anonymous, always pointing at the right moons!

i'll look into it. Jumping into the 51 pages of posts...

[bzzz...]if i install these kernel/headers of 2.30...are there any chances of "breaking" something in my already up and running OS? or is it safe to do stuff like that?
Or it simply will be an Ubuntu 8.10 'crunchee' with a kernel 2.30?
[/bzzz]

edit:
running trough the posts looks like there is a conflict with 2.30 kernel and eee901 wireless...

"...My wireless H/W (Eee PC 901) uses the rt2860sta module which is included in linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic but not linux-image-2.6.30-020630rc2-generic. (Someone noticed that the driver is non-free.)..." by HankB

so sticking with the already-there-kernel, and looking forward to find some info on how the needed modules are built from scratch for my sys-configuration.

NO MORE OF TOPIC! xcuse.

Decided to have a crack at this today on my AA1. It's a bit nicer on my RAM than 8.04 was, certainly feels a bit faster
