I'm not telling, because it's a secret.

Thank you HoaS.

All of my beowulf and ceres installs shut down and restart normally (two beowulfs: one with Openbox and one with LXQt. One ceres with Openbox). I'm using slim on the Openbox installs and sddm on the LXQt install...but then again, they probably work for me, because I'm special and know stuff...secret stuff.

Thanks kapqa!

...and thanks HoaS! The arch-install-scripts package looks interesting. I'll check that out. Thanks for all of the additional information too.

Ahhh...thank you dxrobertson!

So my gut feeling was wrong! LOL!

Your actual file looks exactly...well...almost exactly...like mine in Virtualbox. I edited out all of those commented out lines when I posted it here on the forum.

Thank you so much!

If anyone else is willing to post their's, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again!

Hi nn! Thanks for your interest. Indeed, the idea behind Miyo-i3 is to hopefully make it a little easier to use i3.

I agree with fsmithred; in that, solving the current issue would be the quickest solution. I have a video showing how to install Miyo-i3; however, it's for the Beowulf edition...so, the installer is slightly different during part of the installation...but it should still help. Here's a link to the video...

With that said, believe it or not...despite the technicalities of i3, Miyo-i3 is actually the easiest version of MiyoLinux for me to build.

I don't mind packaging everything up (along with instructions) and making it available for you to download. You would then just have to put the various files and folders in their proper places according to the instructions. Of course, you would need to already have i3 installed first.

I've also been considering making a script to do the same thing, but I haven't even started on that yet.

LOLOL!!!   Good one!

Okay, I've worked on the package, and this is the only warning that I'm getting...

W: miyo-update-notifier: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/show-updates

So, my question is...

Is this detrimental to whether the package can be trusted by people who may want to use it? Good grief...going in and fixing the issues caused other issues that caused me to have to fix other issues in order to fix the original issues... 

I've looked at the man folder on my system to try and get some clue, but there are so many sub-folders, I'm not sure where to begin to put a man-page for the notifier!

If anyone is willing to test it again, it is version 1.1, and it can be downloaded from...

Hello everyone; I hope you're doing well!

I've created  a .deb package for the update notifier that has been discussed here...

It's a simple notifier that checks for updates every 4 hours. When updates are available, a desktop notification will appear as well as a system tray notification. If you click on the icon in the system tray, a notification window will open that presents the updates that are available (thanks fsr!). Please be aware that you will still have to update manually through your terminal or Synaptic...it's just a notifier.   I chose this route, because I wanted the user to be able to decide if they wanted to install the updates "now" or "later".

Also, please be aware that if you're using an obscure window manager (such as i3), you will need to add the update-notifier.py to your autostart file. The update-notifier.py will be found in /usr/share/update-notifier/

I would appreciate anyone who is willing to test it for me.   After installing it, you will need to at least log out and log in for it to start working.

It can be downloaded from...

That looks great T-wax...thanks for sharing!

To make an .iso...

1. Open the file manager as root, and go to /usr/share/applications

Find the Refracta Installer, right click on it, and choose to open it with your text editor.
Find the line NoDisplay=true
Place a # in front of that line, then Save and Close the file.
That should make the Installer appear in your Menu.

2. Optional, but you may want to run Bleachbit and Bleachbit (as root) to shave some size off of the .iso.

If you do run them, reboot your computer after doing so.

3. Open the Terminal, and enter...

sudo refractasnapshot

(use su if you prefer)

a) You'll be greeted with some information. Use your down arrow key to scroll further down if needed.

b) Press the Q key on your keyboard to move to the next step. I can't remember if you have to hit Enter on your keyboard after pressing the Q key.

c) When prompted, you'll want to choose option 1, so type in the number 1 and hit Enter on your keyboard.

d) When prompted, you can change the name that will appear on the Live System's grub screen. Change it if you want. Hit Enter on your keyboard.

It will then begin the process of making the .iso. Be patient. Depending on how much is on your system, it could take a while. Leave the terminal open the entire time. You'll be notified when the .iso is complete with a message that says "All finished!"

You can then find the .iso in your Home folder in the snapshot folder. You'll need to go to the Filesystem option in the file manager, click on the Home folder, and you'll see the snapshot folder there.

Thanks again, and good luck!

Hi everyone!

Sorry...I'm battling a migraine, so I'll keep this short and sweet. Just wanted to let anyone interested know that there are new Miyo-i3 versions available...based on beowulf.
