bunsenlabs / bunsen-netinstall Goto Github PK

In one of the last commits the folder above was removed. this leads to errors while Runign the script, unless the singel file is added.

Launching any gkt3 program (meld, gnome-disks) will result in terminal warning (this is especially irritating in meld then you are merging a lot of files which result in tons of warnings)

** (meld:11327): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

** (gnome-disks:11638): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

Installing at-spi2-core fixes the problem.

I've just had a look at the ./install script and noticed a reference to "extra_repos" but couldn't find anything like that in the current HEAD. git log --name-status showed that the file extra_repos was removed in commit 9e7a282 .Yet it is still listed in README.

For Debian 12, I was getting the below error. It seems to be related to gen_sources not including both non-free and non-free-firmware (the latter of which seems new to 12?)

There was a problem installing some packages.
    There may be some information in /home/randlab/.cache/bunsen-netinstall-logs/install.log.
    You might want to exit the script, comment out packages causing problems
    in pkgs-norecs, and run the script again.
    If the missing packages are unimportant, you might prefer to continue
    with the install and fix the issues later.
    Would you like to ignore the errors and continue now,
    or exit and try to fix the problems?

See: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=40362 @johnraff Any idea what's going on here?

Hi I installed a fresh net-inst 8.3 jessie base system, then used the repository method to get bunsen on the machine. However I do not see any tabs neither is there any sign of conky or terminator, just a blank desktop image. right click menu works but there are also only a view items on there, and no browser (error when trying to open) I must add that I have not installed any meta packages. Is this normal?

The system seems to be crippled.

Would you recomend to use this script to maybe ease the pain?

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been testing the viability of using the BunsenLabs distribution with a computer designed to run all free software (Libreboot X200). Although I prefer XFCE, the experience was very responsive and felt complete. This would make a great option for a person who needs a quick to setup GNU/Linux computer that ran only free software. I did however notice that some non-free software is included with the release. I went ahead and created a netinstaller that did not load non-free software by default. It worked perfectly. I also forked the welcome script to no longer suggest non-free software and even added https support. These forks can be found on my GitHub page. Here is what is left to do in order to make a "libre" version of BunsenLabs:

• Package the "libre" netinstaller.
• Package the "libre" welcome script and set the "libre" netinstaller to use it as default.
• Change the openbox menu configuration to not suggest installing non-free software such as Google Chrome and include that with the "libre" netinstaller.
• Offer it on the BunsenLabs website as an alternative installation option.

I think this would be a great option for BunsenLabs to include. I made a post on Reddit and there seems to be some demand for this type of distribution. Besides I already did most of the work! I look forward to potentially working with the BunsenLabs team on this.

Discussion started on this thread about having compton "--backend=glx" by default.

Need fix install script:

#trap 'giveup "Script terminated." 1' 1 2 3 15
#[[ $user = root ]] && giveup "This script should be run by a normal user, not root" 1

And use:

$ sudo ./install

As noted by @johnraff the audio volume notification bar is not appearing within Helium-dev. On Deuterium this works on both machine tested. I think this is because the change from "volti" to "volumeicon". Also, I would like to suggest bunsenlabs packages to be installed with "no recommends" on Helium-dev.

This error occurred while installing on a HP Pavilion i386:

######## WARNING ########
apt-get returned an error installing bunsen packages
----------------------------------------------------------

There was a problem installing the local .deb files.
There may be some information in /home/smacz/.bunsen-netinstall-logs/install.log.
Would you like to continue anyway, or exit?
(press enter to continue, any other key to exit)

I continued the install (as this was my second time recieving that error). After it was done I ran:

$ sudo apt-get autoremove

My first attempt to install them by listing them in a text file and piping them always spit out that unhelful "Abort" message with an explanation same as right above the "------" separator in the install.log file without waiting for a "[Y|n]" response:

$ cat packages.txt | xargs sudo apt-get install

I vaguely remember attempting to pass --force-yes and/or -y flag/switch to apt-get without success to the above.

The named packages installed just fine one-by-one, each prompting me asking if I wanted to continue even though it wasn't...verifiable(?). BunsenLabs is now up and running on this partition.

I have yet to do the Broadcom b43-installer dance to get wifi working, but I didn't figure that had anything to do with the error I recieved. Ethernet worked just fine for the install.

I've netinstalled base debian and ran this script twice with the same results. I would be more than happy to attempt a third time to gather data. I was unable to find anything telling in /var/log/apt/* or /var/log/dpkg.log.

First, thanks! It's nice to see openbox et al are still being used. So I had to give this a try on a non-x86 target.

Other than the x86-only driver/firmware packages, I was only missing 2 important items:

• jgmenu - retrieved and built from debian bookworm sources on pinebook
• bunsen-blob - unresolved, no sources available

So all I really need is the last one; can you make the sources available? Even better, could you add arm64 and armhf architectures to your deb package feed?

In this case I started with Debian bullseye installer images for pinebook, but the installer failed to install a bootloader so I ended up doing a manual install following the LinuxOnArm wiki process similar to this: https://forum.digikey.com/t/debian-getting-started-with-the-rock-pi-4/12973

I bring that ^^ up because of the debian rootfs tarballs and package repos maintained by the same digikey guy who wrote most of those linux guides: https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/eewiki/minfs/

So anyone interested in trying this approach can take advantage of these resources.

Apt says the GPG key for helium-dev repository is expired. Can you please fix that?

Hey,

did a netinstall of debian 8..
Question: is it sufficiant to do a netinstall w/o internet connection?
(because that is what i tried, got the following issue)

run your netinstall script, got the error, that rsync could not be installed. (script aborted)

(sound like no internet connection? well, i had it pugged at that time.)

My installation broke due to insufficient root fs size in process of serting up

Not exactly an issue, but

https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-netinstall/blob/master/install

I understand that this is a demo vehicle, but would it be wasteful to name exactly which system files will be replaced/modified? Since the script is quite gigantic (a note in the install header will do just fine).

When bl-welcome pops up, the question if contrib and non-free should be enables gives on CR:
"Editing sources list failed. This script will exit.
[...] check the entries before running bl-welcome again."

I then edit the sources to my needs, but thats feels a lot like a bug.

Because i want BL, i installed it from the img (USB), it should provide a source list that works after installation, no matter if installed with or w/o internet.

(I reproduced that circumstance at least twice. Also, big fan, love your work :) )

pkg-norecs has xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse, which is not in any Debian repository, so the install fails. If it is commented out then the installation succeeds.

It failed to start LightDM after the reboot on Helium-Dev branch. I couldn't startx either.
