I have my openbox tint2 udevil spacefm desktop looking and working great.

Except it seems like it doesn't want to write to my usb thumb drives.

Copy paste no errors, can even leave the folder and return and files are listed

But remove the drive and reinsert and the file were never written

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I use that and love it.

Lot of awk work in that one but some parts are raspberry pi os specific I think.

Is there a frontend for that

The wpagui package works with /etc/network/interfaces if this line is used instead of the wpa-ssid & wpa-psk lines:

   wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Then create the configuration file with these options listed to allow it to be altered by wpagui:

ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1

Note that ♯! is based on Debian and so uses systemd. For a systemd-free openbox-based distribution try CROWZ, MIYO, Star or ThomOS.

They're both bloat. Use /etc/network/interfaces instead:

Will check CROWZ and ThomOS out.

That is very cool. (Wifi)

Is there a frontend for that or should I start scripting?

Thanks for the info

Connecting via /etc/network/interfaces & ifupdown does not require dbus.

Nice! I need to start hacking the guts out of antiX again and give it another shot. I gave up too easily when connman wasn't responding.

/etc/network/interfaces uses wpa_supplicant rather than iwd. The iwd version in beowulf is pre-release and so probably should not be used.

Does that method require dbus? You could use eiwd, which is iwd without dbus: https://github.com/dylanaraps/eiwd
Then I believe you could use iwctl to make connections. This is all theoretical, I haven't tried it yet. Might be worth trying though. Last time I removed dbus from antiX, I had everything basically working except networking.

I am currently using connman myself.

That was exactly what I needed

Also I just checked the link by your name and saw the sharp bang

It's very interesting to me because I use a minimal desktop with openbox and tint2

I've created a start menu however or root menu using xdotool and an autogen script

(Just the openbox menu being called by xdotool on a button click)

Also several zenity scripts of my own making to make it all more user friendly.

Thanks

is that all there is to it ?

Yes. But it might be worth resetting the hardware clock & /etc/adjtime after the system clock has been updated:

# hwclock --systohc

If you need to change the time zone use this first:

# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
