I've made a small website that will allow anyone to see the codes used for the various MiyoLinux Accessories...in case they would like to use them on their own system or distro.

I've included screenshots of the Accessories, requirements (dependencies), basic information/instructions, .desktop file links, GUI code links, and the GUI codes (shown as plain text) that are used in MiyoLinux.

The codes and information available are for the following...

1. Live Keyboard Layout Changer (includes a link to download the country's flag icons)
2. The Control Center
3. Panel Switcher (with Docky)
4. Panel Switcher (with Plank)
5. Touchpad Controls
6. Conky Controls
7. Compton Controls
8. The MiyoLinux Welcome Screen

If anyone is interested in using any of these, feel free to do so. I have no concern as to whether you acknowledge MiyoLinux or not...they are all licensed under Public Domain.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN!

This is a quick guide for how to make an installable .iso from an existing MiyoLinux installation.

It will produce an .iso using the existing configurations and background images from the original Miyo .iso...unless a user has changed some of the configuration files/images, and unless a user allowed the Refracta configuration files to be replaced when upgrading Miyo Jessie to Ascii.

To make an .iso in Miyo...

1. Open the file manager as root, and go to...

/usr/share/applications

2. Once there, find the "Refracta Installer".

Right-click on it, and open it with your text editor. Find the line NoDisplay=true and place a # symbol in front of it so that it looks like this...

#NoDisplay=true 

...then save and close the file. The Refracta Installer should then be in your menu.

If you don't want it in your menu, then negate those instructions, and simply copy and paste the Refracta Installer from /usr/share/applications into your Desktop Folder. You'll be able to access the installer there and it will remove the installer from the Desktop folder after installation.

3. (Optional) Run Bleachbit and Bleachbit as root to remove junk to help make your .iso smaller.

4. Open your terminal, and run the following command...

sudo refractasnapshot

A bunch of information will pop up in the terminal. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll down until it says Press q to quit. Press q and you'll see a numerical list of options. To make an .iso that can be installed, press 1 on your keyboard (can't remember if you have to hit Enter on your keyboard also...sorry).

That will give you a line where you can change the name that appears in the live version's grub screen. Change it to whatever you'd like if you want to! 

THEN...hit Enter on your keyboard. It will then start building your .iso. Be patient, and don't close the terminal until it's finished. It will let you know when it's finished. I think it will say something like "All finished or All done!

5. To find your .iso, open your file manager (no need to be root).

Click File System in the side pane.
Open the Home folder.
There will be a folder with your name and a couple of other folders...can't remember their names...perhaps snapshot and work (?). Regardless, your .iso will be in one of those folders...along with a checksum file.

Another desktop-base package came through today, and this time, it changed the login screen of Miyo (must be the one fsmithred had mentioned in another thread).

Again, as with the fix for the grub screen, this isn't needed and is completely voluntary...if you would prefer to use the new login screen with the Devuan Dark Purpy background and light theme, then please do so.

For anyone who would like the MiyoLinux background and dark theme back, here's all you need to do...

Step 1:  Open your terminal, and enter the following command (substitute leafpad with your text editor if you're using a different one)...

sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

When the file opens, scroll down to the bottom to line #47 (if you have line numbers on), and you will see...

[greeter]

The items below [greeter] are what we will change (lines 48-61). Just remove everything underneath [greeter], because we're going to replace it anyway.

STEP 2:  Copy and paste the following underneath [greeter]...

background=/usr/share/miyolinux/miyolinux-lightdm.png
theme-name=Adwaita-dark
icon-theme-name=Faba-Mono
font-name=Ubuntu
xft-antialias=true
xft-dpi=96
xft-hintstyle=slight
xft-rgba=rgb
show-indicators=~language;~session;~power
show-clock=true
clock-format=%A ~ %l:%M %P
#keyboard=
#position=
#screensaver-timeout=

So, that portion of the file should now look like this...

[greeter]
background=/usr/share/miyolinux/miyolinux-lightdm.png
theme-name=Adwaita-dark
icon-theme-name=Faba-Mono
font-name=Ubuntu
xft-antialias=true
xft-dpi=96
xft-hintstyle=slight
xft-rgba=rgb
show-indicators=~language;~session;~power
show-clock=true
clock-format=%A ~ %l:%M %P
#keyboard=
#position=
#screensaver-timeout=

STEP 3:  Save and close the file.

The next time you log out/in, you'll have the MiyoLinux background and dark theme again.

Whew...I'm thinkin' of locking desktop-base for awhile! LOLOLOL!!!

With the recent update that introduced the new desktop-base package along with elogind...which introduced shutdown problems (see the fix HERE)...it also changed the background image of the grub screen.

I'm only posting this for anyone who would like to return back to the MiyoLinux grub background. If you're happy with the new Devuan background, then by all means...continue using it. In other words, this fix is completely voluntary and isn't necessary. I'll also be posting this on the MiyoLinux wiki on Sourceforge; the elogind fix is already there.

Step 1:  Download the .zip file from Sourceforge.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/miyoli … p/download

The .zip file contains a background image and a modified theme.txt file.

Step 2:  After the download has completed, open your file manager, and navigate to the downloaded file...probably your Downloads folder.

Step 3:  Using the "Tools" in the file manager's menu bar, open a terminal in the Downloads folder. When the terminal opens, enter the following command...

sudo unzip Miyo-Ascii-Grub.zip -d /usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/desktop-grub-theme

That command will work whether you have already installed an archive manager or not. It will ask you if you want to replace the two files. Answer y to replace them.

If you prefer to use your archive manager, then feel free to.   If you do use an archive manager, you can see where to place the files in the command above.

Step 4:  After that is finished, enter the following command...

sudo update-grub

After the update-grub is finished, you will then have the MiyoLinux grub background back again the next time you reboot.
