Obmenu

Hello:

A long time ago, this thread came to my attention:https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4897

MiyoLinux posted this:

... #!++ has repackaged obmenu to work on newer systems using python3.
... downloaded the .deb file from my installation of #!++, and I've installed it on Chimaera, Daedalus, and Ceres...it works perfectly ...

I have a live i386 CBPP / #! *.iso which works perfectly well but I cannot find the *.deb file mentioned by MiyoLinux.

Any idea as to how I can get a hold of it?
I want to test it on a Daedalus VM as a possible transition away from XFCE.

Best,

A.

Re: Obmenu

Hello:

Yes, I'm quite sure of that as it seems (?) to be of their own production.
And it is part of the #! installation, at least for Bookworm.

But I have not seen it available for download or found it within the live i386 *.iso.

Thanks for your input.

Best,

A.

There is also : https://github.com/keithbowes/obmenu

Not sure what Miyo meant by downloading a .deb from an install unless the package(s) were saved in the cache. But you could try using dpkg-repack on the #!++ install to re-create a .deb package.

Might be a longshot, but you could email MiYo through the forum: https://dev1galaxy.org/misc.php?email=952

Re: Obmenu

Hello:

... obmenu2 on Crowz, try downloading tarbal ...

... also : https://github.com/keithbowes/obmenu

Thanks, saw those already.
But I was wanting to have the #! *.deb file to directly install in my upcoming Daedalus test.
And try it out on my Devuan Chimaera i386 1000HE installation.

Not sure what Miyo meant by downloading a .deb from an install ...

Hmm ...
Exactly that? Maybe ...
I don't have an installation, just a live i386 *.iso and I haven't seen it there.

Thanks for your input.

Best,

A.

Hello:

Might be a longshot, but ...

I had thought of doing that but decided not to bother the chap with this.
But seeing that I have not made much progress, I just fired a short one asking.

Hopefully he will pitch in.

Best,

A.

Re: Obmenu

As far as I remember, Head-on-a-Stick maintained it by some time. He continues to release deadbang iso in sourceforge, by the way. The latest version is 13.1.0 hybrid version of trixie.    yoshi
