I'm sure this has been implemented with the very best of intentions.....
WOW! It's good to "see" you cynwulf!
As to the troll possibilities...
All of this X and Y stuff has given me a nervous jerkdown in remembrance of high school algebra; whereas, it has conjured up memories of mathematical formulas that I use in my work today; therefore (and as a byproduct), I am reminded of basic sentence structure; as such, I am reminded of basic English punctuation and must reprimand myself for using run-on sentences; however, I like using lots of punctuation n'stuff...whether it's called for or not ('cause that's the way I roll); as such, I trust that most here are level headed enough to recognize trollism and will mark said trolls appropriately...n'stuff...n'other stuff n'such...n'stuff.
For those times when you just wanna sit back, relax, and stinkin' rock...
Oh dear!
Perhaps I should have called it...
AWYWWHtRWYDW-OS (Add What You Want Without Having to Remove What You Don't Want OS)
...or is OS already taken...
LOLOLOL!!!
Still playing with PekWM...and REALLY liking it! Why is this window manager lesser known and not more widely used? Got the right-click menu more to my liking, and I substituted the tint2 panel with fbpanel. So now, I have stinkin' dynamic menus all over the stinkin' place...and it's still light on resources!
Still more work to do and stuff to discover n'stuff.
I'm just hoping I don't get threatened with a lawsuit!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
For a very basic Plasma desktop, install...
plasma-desktop
...that doesn't install any of the normal Plasma related items; such as, Dolphin, Konqueror, Kwrite, etc... but it gives you the Plasma desktop. If you want to add Plasma related items, you'll have to install them separately.
Here's a link to where I built a very minimal Plasma. Keep in mind, this was done SEVERAL months ago...
The following product is in no way associated with MiyoLinux...
LOLOLOL!!!
Just uploaded the miyo-awesome.png (wallpaper) and the slim theme used in Miyo-Awesome to Sourceforge...in case any MiyoLinux (Openbox) users would like to have them. The miyo-awesome-slim theme is a bit more subdued than what is included in MiyoLinux (Openbox)...which includes the screenlock and logout screens. Make sure to read the instructions that are included in case you want to revert back to the original.
EDITED TO ADD: the miyo-awesome.png (wallpaper) is in the Wallpaper folder. The miyo-awesome-slim-theme is in the Themes folder on Sourceforge. Information is sometimes helpful...as are links!

Still debating on whether to move completely over to OSDN instead of SourceForge.
It's in backports.
I've deleted everything Openbox and LXDE so it can't be something from them doing this. I still have a few Xfce things: libexo-1-0, libxfce4ui-1-0, libxfce4ui-common, libxfce4util-common, libxfce4util7, libxfconf-0-2, and xfconf.
BTW, is it safe to delete the Xfce remnants left on my system?
Ron, I apologize for not addressing this earlier...got all wrapped up in the monitor situation.
Yes, to my knowledge, it should be safe to delete those items. You have a list of them, so keep that list until after you delete them...just in case something goes all whack-a-doodle on you...you'll know what you deleted and can reinstall them. Since you're using Mate, I see no reason to keep them...but I'm not proficient in Mate-ism.
Thanks MiyoLinux. Marking this thread as solved.
Out of curiosity, what does "dpms" stand for?
Sure thing!
dpms = Display Power Management Signaling
It's basically a "built-in" energy saver for X.
Thanks, that seemed to work.
If later I want to change it to a longer time for the signal to be shut off (instead of not at all), how would I do that? Everything in the line you had me edit is puzzling to me.
Sure thing!
If you want it to turn off, just change the 0 (zero) to the number of MINUTES that you want to transpire before turning off the monitor. Such as, if I want it to turn off after 2 hours of inactivity, I would convert that to minutes in the command (2 x 60 = 120)...which would be...
xserver_arguments -s 120 dpms -nolisten tcp
Okay...
This is actually my preferred way of stopping the monitor from turning off...don't need a power manager using resources to do the same thing.
Open your terminal, and issue this command (substitute leafpad with your text editor)...
sudo leafpad /etc/slim.conf
When the file opens, the line you want to edit is close to the top. It looks like this...
xserver_arguments -nolisten tcp
Edit that line so that it now looks like this...
xserver_arguments -s 0 dpms -nolisten tcp
Save and close the file. Then Reboot...it might work with just a log out/log in, but I'm not sure.
Hope that helps!

If I remember correctly, you changed to LightDM instead of Slim.I did, but when I reinstalled Miyo I kept Slim. So how do I change it with Slim?
Okay. It works basically the same with slim. Give me a few minutes...had to go to a store for a few items. Sorry. I'll be back soon. While I was at it, I stinkin' should've given directions for slim too... LOLOLOL!
Hi Ron...sorry for the late reply. Our family has been out of town all day.
Anyway...let's see if this works...
If I remember correctly, you changed to LightDM instead of Slim. Open your terminal, and enter the following command...substitute leafpad with your text editor...
sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
When the file opens, scroll down until you find the line [Seat Defaults]
After finding that line, look for the line #xserver-command=X
Remove the # from in front of the line, and change the line to read xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
Save and close the file. Reboot for it to take effect...hopefully take effect.
Hope that helps!
Hi Ron! I'm guessing that you don't have the xfce4-power-manager installed?
Sounds like xset is what is causing the situation. Let's try this first...open your terminal and enter...
xset dpms 0 0 0
...then see if the screen turns off after 10 minutes of no activity.
Just gave cronkbong a "Recommend" on Distrowatch.
Come on folks, let's get it done!
Thank you to the VUAs for all of their tireless efforts!
...and just for fun, here's the Peanuts Gang performing Rush 2112 (full album)...SPOILER ALERT!!!...Neil Peart has nothing on Pig Pen slappin' the skins!
Wow! Thank you zephyr! That means a lot coming from you.
In regard to OSDN, I tried to upload there several times using their web UI, but it would always fail at various points each time. Others may have better luck with it than me. I finally tried the ftp upload (using Filezilla), and it went smooth as silk on the first try.
Thanks again!
I am strongly considering leaving SourceForge and Githubaloo behind and moving everything "Miyo" to OSDN...downloads, git, wiki, etc. Many thanks to mlsmith for his help in finding this and the initial setup. I will see how things go with OSDN. So far, I'm really liking what I see and what they offer. I still have a lot of work to do there, but here's a link to the MiyoLinux page on OSDN.

The first checkmark represents the main (default) layout. It's always open (chosen). The other 3 are optional. So if you only use one pane, it's always going to be that main one...it's the one in the upper left corner.
That's not quite what I'm looking for. I can still live with Mate for the time being.
Perfectly understandable!
Hi oui!
I'm no expert, so please read my reply as such.
1. I've never used links2; therefore, I don't know how many resources it uses.
2. Due to the postings of two members here...siva and catprints, I eventually tried the browser surf2...which is available in the repositories. However, I can't say how it compares in resource usage to links2.
It is definitely much lighter than Firefox and Chromium, but it does take some reading on how to use it. After installing it, I was watching YouTube in just a matter of minutes (after discovering how to enable YouTube on it); however, it has been so long ago that I don't remember what I did to enable watching YouTube.
Out of curiosity, I searched for the artist that you mentioned (yes, the search function works), and I watched some of her performances. She is indeed a wonderful musician, and I thoroughly enjoyed her music. Thank you for mentioning her.
Good luck in your search for a replacement browser!
