I am also "semi" dbus free on voidlinux. Im not sure how well this works over the long term but so far so good.

voids xbps package management has a flag set to ignore packages.

man xbps.d

example,

sudo nano /etc/xbps.d/pin_dbus.conf

ignorepkg=dbus

query dbus yields...

$ sudo xbps-query -l | grep dbus
ii dbus-glib-0.110_1                       GLib bindings for D-Bus
ii dbus-libs-1.12.16_1                     Message bus system - shared libraries
ii dbus-x11-1.12.16_1                      Message bus system - X11 support

Ive a pretty simple setup using dwm as window manager. Latest firefox pulls in dbus-glibs, no getting around that.

runit is such a nice init.

You probably want to point out the errors here for some help i would say.

Something like a dry-run might be something you are looking aka rsyncs --dry-run flag or similar.

Apparently he used the word "whitehouse" when describing trump towers with a maga hat on. Damn racist nazi white supremacist if you ask me!

Nice work alphalfa, i like jwm wm, so light and configurable. Ill have to give Michael a try. Any reason behind the name or is that your given name?

capitalist society is fucked that is the whole root of the problem. Shitbag science ....

I see what you mean now, bit of a tricky one this but there is a difference between language packs and dictionaries. I think the confusion is in the display in GB and spell check in GB. Either way you need to install a firefox specific dictionary addon.

This article explains it a bit better...

This one is a bit more popular it seems as far as addons go .... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo … tionary-2/

You are right about the US dictionary being hard coded though, one would think having the en-gb hunspell localised dictionary would be enough, must be a broken link in the chain somewhere.

I dont quite understand it myself, i found the solution on some ubuntu forum somewhere googling for a solution, maybe its the ascii kernel build as laptop-mode-tools package unlocks laptop mode in the kernel which i think i needed to powerdown/shutdown. Yours distro is the only one ive had this issue with, not saying its a problem as it was easily fixed. There must be some setting somewhere i needed turned on or off for my specific laptop maybe, anyhow laptop-mode-tools is a pretty neat package with some performance benefits to be had using it.

EDIT: come to think of it maybe it was during installation as i used the expert install and only chose the drivers needed for my system not include all drivers in the kernel, probably missed some that i needed perhaps.

Sounds like a good idea but wouldnt that be allowing Nitrokey to handle sensitive info? Its kind of like VPN, you are trusting an outside source to secure your credentials, just hope they are good enough i suppose. Interesting question though.

Hi Ozi

I tried out the openbox iso you put up, installed fine and working ok except for poweroff and shutdown.
Everytime i poweroff or shutdown -h now it goes into a reboot instead?

Is that by design or a bug? How would i remedy this?

solved this, i didnt realise the latest dbus version was in ascii-security

so the fix is below, leaving out the dbus versions

Package: dbus
Pin: release n=ascii-security
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: dbus
Pin: release n=ascii
Pin-Priority: -1

Cosque, you need to install non-free firmware.

Thanks GNUser, im going to try and do something similar to what you have done when i get the time. Ive just started to learn some awk/gawk so this maybe an avenue where i can do something unique with #!/bin/ awk -f scripts perhaps.
