Pink Floyd - Us and Them

Both VSIDO FSA's were updated to the new 6.5.0-5-amd64 kernel

Issues with lxdm have been resolved and it is back as the default display manager. Thank you riV for your assistance on the forum in solving this.

You can download the btrfs and ext4 fsarchives at the VSIDO download site here

There is also a How To on how to effectively use fsarchive to get this installed

There is a current a package list that shows everything that is installed in VSIDO. Please review this file and let me know of anything needed, removed or added

That's really cool riV 

My current mood


 

Worked on this quite a bit today and came up with what I decided to go with as the default login screen now.. The attached file just needs to be saved in /usr/share/images/desktop-base directory and it's already pointed to that file ib /etc/lxdm/default.conf

Good progress; Your "foot is in the door" to lxdm.
Awwwwww, spacefm folder dummy login image now a blank.
We look forward to seeing your next lxdm theme that grows from dummy blank.

The [140x140] size will autoalign on lxdm; trial of different sizes to experience different autoalign outcome. (?) with transparent you will not see the image jump between username and password as it autoaligns to the single box.

I am working on it and will have it ready on the next release of the VSIDO FSA's. This is a working version of it now


 

I got VSIDO3 working and back to the way I was when all this started.. Basically you have to have whatever login.png file in the root of VSIDO3 directory ... So I used gIMP and created a blank png file that I have attached to this ... It is simply a dummy login.png with nothing but a transparent background.

Hey riV I did get VSIDO3 to work so I am making progress! Will keep this thread updated

Thanks riV .. I have tried multiple different instances and configs to the point that I cant even get Industrial to work anymore and honestly I am to the point of just saying the hell with it and staying with lightdm even though I think lxdm is so much better..

I am going to uninstall lxdm and wipe away all instances of any config files and try this all again

Hello riV

I reconfigured using lxdm-config and set the background color to black but
I extracted the zip and in lxdm.conf made VSIDO3 the default theme

Still no good.. I did not change the background image, should that have been removed?

Three themes lxdm 5.3-5; Industrial works.
VSIDO and VSIDO_Plain are a lockout. cannot open display.
startx did not work.

Thanks riV that did solve it, but as bad as Industrial looks I think I will just eliminate a greeter. Do you know if Industrial is the only one that works?

Subtle changes to conky and the GMusicBrowser Desktop Widget Plugin

Been without wheels for a couple of weeks so I am in tweak mode. Attached is the latest widget for GMB, just save it in your ~/.config/gmuscibrowser/layouts directory and then load it from the Plugins/Desktop Widgets in the settings of GMB


 

Both VSIDO FSA's were updated to the new 6.5.0-4-amd64 kernel

I also vetted and redid the opening vsido-welcome script and it now installs everything cleanly, thank you Jed for your help

I tested the entire vsido-welcome script today, I did a brand new install with the 3 times edited and corrected attached files above and am now 100% confident that they all install without issue with all the latest levels.. I'm sure there are other things we can include and I will dive into that deeper later this winter

Quote from: VastOne on October 30, 2023, 06:12:00 PMThank you for this Jed, a year later I have finally gone through and cleaned up and updated vsido-welcome to its latest versions and it will be available and working again on the next version of the FSA release. I have also attached the changed files in the lib-vsido-welcome.tar.gz listed here. Just extract the files to your /usr/lib/lib-vsido-welcome directory on VSIDO

Anyone who may have downloaded that file, do it again as I have made edits that are now in this latest attached file

(or wlp2s0 etc)  Not sure how this would work out for someone else on a different lappy.  nmtui solves this for most lappy users imo.  Of course one could go to all the trouble of doing it all via the terminal, but with wireless this tends to be a bit of a pain for some. (gasp)  Anyway it definitely works.

So the welcome script, vsido-welcome just needs some lovin' I think... 

The following installed just fine via vsido-welcome;
cups printer-driver-cups-pdf system-config-printer printer-driver-hpijs git git-gui git-cvs git-svn git-email mercurial subversion subversion-tools bzr bzrtools cvs thunar-vcs-plugin geany openssh-server

--Lamp Stack  -not installed because of user preference, I don't need any of it yet...
apache2 mysql-server php5 php-pear php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imagick php5-curl curl phpmyadmin rsync cronolog--  don't know if any of it would have worked.  Doubtful as to the oldish nature of some of the version numbers?

--Dev Env for Debian Packaging  installed via apt
build-essential debhelper cdbs dh-make diffutils patch gnupg fakeroot lintian devscripts dpatch dput quilt zenity clipit bashburn keepassx numlockx-- installed

--Image Editors  installed via apt
gimp inkscape mtpaint gcolor3 shotwell darktable rawtherapee-- installed

--No longer in repo's
dpatch=no candidate, bashburn=no package found, gcolor2=gcolor3 now instead and installed via apt, openjdk-6-jre is up to like 19 now, icedtea6-plugin is now icedtea-netx--  not installed

and oh yeah, cups-pdf is now printer-driver-cups-pdf.

So there, if I missed anything let me know...

Now if I can figure out this new jgmenu toy!!!
