What does your desktop look like?

What do you mean by "input group?"

Code: Select all

# adduser $user input

(Replace $user with the actual user name.)

I'm pretty sure that's a security risk though because the input group allows that user to listen to the keyboard inputs of other users.

Before my user was added to that group the keyboard & touchpad didn't work if the box was booted with sysvinit.

The console session still wasn't working properly though.

Thanks; I didn't know it existed. Here it is.

input /dev/input/event[0-9]*, /dev/input/mouse[0-9]* Access to input devices. Introduced in systemd 215 [2].

Fresh Debian buster system using the RC1 installer:



Note the mokutil output, here it is again:

Code: Select all

empty@buster:~$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot enabled
empty@buster:~$

Oh yeah

^ Nice!

You may want to try fiddling with the letterSpace option in urxvt, your terminal font looks a little stretched.

Thanks for the tip have change spacing to -2 look neater as well..

Testing the RC1 installer again, went for the full GNOME this time:



That system is nicely contained within a btrfs subvolume shared with another subvolume (on the same partition) holding my Alpine Linux system.

The installer doesn't support subvolumes (AFAIK) so I had to use QEMU instead, quick HowTo:

First create a raw disk image:

Code: Select all

qemu-img create -f raw disk.img 10G

Use QEMU and the RC1 installer on the image then mount it:

Code: Select all

# mount -o offset=$((2048*512)) disk.img /mnt

And finally rsync the contents from /mnt/ to the subvolume.

Remember to update /etc/fstab afterwards and also install the btrfs-progs package when the new system is booted to add the kernel modules to the initramfs image.

^Yeah, GNOME is finally great on Debian. I just stick to stock Adwaita theme and icons, they look modern.

GNOME has always been great on Debian

I just stick to stock Adwaita theme and icons, they look modern.

I like the theme but I can't stand the icons, Faba is good though (IMO).

Anyway, Night Light scrot to keep this on-topic:

Weston in buster:

[GarryRicketson]

That is nice, looks good.

Below, to me this is really nice, I like it:

I know, with VM 's quite often a system and programs will run a little slow, that is to be
expected, so of course on real hardware everything usually seems better.
But, I found it interesting, on the other VM, also Debian Buster, even OpenBox responded slower then it would on bare metal, not much , but a little. So any way, on this one I decided to try "fluxbox", have not used it in years. I was happy and surprised to see it is "snappy", quick to respond, and seems to be ideal for on a VM.

Playing a bit with Icewm. I found a handy script for mpc (command-line tool to interface MPD)

Debian Buster with openbox/tint2/rox-filer:

Got sick of GNOME:



Version 6.2 of dwm now runs CS:GO with no problems, which is nice.

If anybody wants that desktop I have packages here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... esktop/dwm

The slstatus package (for the panel status readout) looks for BAT0 so it's pretty specific.

For the dwm package I've added a dwm-session script (and a matching .desktop file) that autostarts slstatus and adds itself to the x-session-manager alternative so it can be run from a display manager (or plain startx with no ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession required).

Got sick of GNOME:

Must be hell of a bore when everything just works, right?

Just stock GNOME, with Dark Souls 3 Fire Keeper as wallpaper:


This is 2nd workspace, I've got a few Chromium tabs open in first, that's why it's 1.7 GB of RAM.

I love GNOME but dwm has boosted the framerate in CS:GO significantly.

Anyway, here's an action shot to stay on-topic:
