Re: Upgrade Crunchbang to BunsenLabs / Jessie sub-alpha

Awesome work userx, everything is already setup.

I was actually already on jessie and worked out a few kinks that i had with xfce4-power-manager and tint2 panel, and i was going to test bunsenlabs on virtualbox, while browsing through the forum saw your post, and said to me, let me give it a go...

Everything worked great, thanks for putting a great script together, i just had a bit of trouble with the obmenu-generator i never worked with perl before so i was just completely lost, and seeing i was following your tutorial i didn't scroll down to check if you had something on it, i ended up installing the modules and running obmenu-generator, later to find that you had simple commands to solve what took me about an hour -.-'

either way great job, and also everyone working on bunsenlabs thank you for keeping that crunchbang feeling alive on your distro

Re: Upgrade Crunchbang to BunsenLabs / Jessie sub-alpha

Well, it seemed to work, no error messages..
Rebooted and nice Bunsen splash screen with two options bunsen or advanced. The first gave a "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules"
Taking the advanced option gave me an option bunsen (sysvinit) which I took and works fine.  So is that working without systemd? Should I worry? Can I edit grub to get this to be the default option on the first screen?

Re: Upgrade Crunchbang to BunsenLabs / Jessie sub-alpha

So I looked in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf to see what modules should be loaded, there were only two
loop
fglrx

I didn't alter anything but now it boots OK!!??

Happy days.

Re: Upgrade Crunchbang to BunsenLabs / Jessie sub-alpha

Hi,
I have been keeping an eye on this thread as I need to upgrade my little boy's laptop (Waldorf)
so to put it short (this long exchange can be confusing at times)
all the steps I need to follow are actually these, right?

wget https://github.com/userx-bw/bunsenlabs-cb-upgrade/archive/master.tar.gz 
 tar -xpf master.tar.gz
 cd bunsenlabs-cb-upgrade-master
 ./install-bl8a

thanks for the confirmation.

The author of this thread no longer uses these forums or supports this script, AFAIK.

I have been told that the script is of dubious quality and it has not been updated with the new BunsenLabs repositories so the installed system would *not* be a true BunsenLabs install.

I personally would not advise using this method to upgrade your machine.

If you feel that you *need* to upgrade  your wheezy-based system than you should take the time to read through the official release notes and do it properly (remove the #! repsotory lines first).
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ … ng.en.html

However, Debian wheezy (and by expention, #!) will be fully supported by the Security team until February 2016 and by the LTS team until May 2018 so it is fine to keep going with #!

There is also the BunsenLabs rc1 live ISO:

Confirmed.

And agree totally with HoaS.

./install-bl8a
- BL has been to Alpha2 and now at RC1 so yes, that's an old script.

Re: Upgrade Crunchbang to BunsenLabs / Jessie sub-alpha

Thank YOU guys
I shall not use the script then, and I think what I shall do is back up my son's data then install BL (i'm ok with the netinstall script but will probably have a go at RC2!
@ostrołęk: yes it has.
