hello you like openbox, you want to test a rather original rolling release distro without systemd i 've got what you need :
voidlinux
Before all please read the voidlinux wiki to become familiar with xbps and runit
the first part is simple, you upload voidlinux then you start it in live
login : root
password : voidlinux
Then
$ sudo void-installer
I choose the network install
for the partitionning i choose :
500 MO en EXT2 flag : /boot
2 GO pour le swap
6 GO en EXT4 flag : /
10 GO en EXT4 flag : /home
if the install was good :
$ xbps-install ranger nano
Create an user
$ useradd john
$ passwd john
$ usermod -G wheel,audio,optical,lp,storage,video john
you need to edit /etc/sudoers with visudo or nano
$ visudo
or
$ EDITOR=nano visudo
uncomment the line
## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
you can now log in with your little user previously created and use sudo
$ xbps-install xorg xini udevil Thunar thunar-volman dbus wireless-tools gvfs udisks2 polkit-gnome geany openbox obmenu lxappearance obconf alsa-utils gtk-engine-murrine file-roller p7zip firefox terminator xterm nitrogen xdg-user-dirs dmenu
to search a package use : sudo xbps-query -Rs <name of the package>
then copy and edit .xinitrc
$ cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc ~
then edit it :
$ nano .xinitrc
You write in :
exec dbus-launch openbox-session
i don't use connection manager so 'startx' is enough
then use xterm which is in the openbox menu to launch the services that go well
$ ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/
$ ln -s /etc/sv/dhcpcd /var/service/
copy the openbox config folder
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/openbox
$ cp -R /etc/xdg/openbox/* ~/.config/openbox
then edit autostart and paste in :
devmon &
tint2 &
thunar --daemon &
volumeicon &
synclient TapButton1=1 & # tapbutton du touchpad
#xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1366x768 --left-of LVDS1 & # second monitor
(sleep 5s && nitrogen --restore) &
#(sleep 10s && conky -c .conkyrc1) & # conky
-then reboot and test
if like me your machine works in wifi always in the same place, use wpa-supplicant rather that a connection manager
see this page : https://github.com/voidlinux/documentat … figuration
-to have the folders video download... in your home
launch in a terminal :
$ xdg-user-dirs-update
- for later
$ mkdir ~/.themes
$ mkdir ~/.icons
to be sure :
$ chown -R john /home/john
-if you have some trouble with dbus
$ dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
-if you have some trouble with udevil
$chmod -s /usr/bin/udevil
the sources :
stillstup.blogspot
le wiki archlinux
voidlinux
- we can add the following alias in .bashrc
$ nano /etc/.bashrc
we add
alias update='sudo xbps-install -Syu'
alias install='sudo xbps-install'
alias search='sudo xbps-query -Rs'
alias purge='sudo xbps-remove'
if you want a crunchbang like
you can add :
-in the section <!-- Keybindings for windows --> to seeopenbox menu with awin + space
<keybind key="W-space">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>root-menu</menu>
</action>
</keybind>
- add this section
<!-- A bit of tiling -->
<keybind key="W-Right">
<action name="GrowToEdgeEast"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Left">
<action name="GrowToEdgeWest"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Down">
<action name="GrowToEdgeSouth"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Up">
<action name="GrowToEdgeNorth"/>
</keybind>
-replace this section <!-- Keybindings for running applications --> with :
<keybind key="W-e">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Geany</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>geany</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-t">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Terminator</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>terminator</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-w">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>firefox</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>firefox</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-f">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Thunar</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>thunar</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-F3">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Dmenu</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>dmenu_run</command>
</action>
</keybind>
</keyboard>
thats all for the rc.xml
it s better to modify the menu by hand
Sorry english is not my first language
