golinux LOVES turnips . . .

I call it the s/f rario, signal to fluff. Only I include a level of doubt that not all fluff is innocent, and not all sheep is vegetarian. I see sheep with sharp front teeth and saliva dripping.

I know we're drifting off topic here, but this is relevant to the drift and potentially very important:

@golinux: I like the greens better than the roots.

MiyoLinux · 2017-11-22 00:56:15

Drifting off topic doesn't bother me if it helps folks! Drift on!

As a side note, I finally got Obmenu Generator working on an Ascii build. Now I just have to decide if I want to use it or continue on with how I did the menu on the latest releases...

The latest releases of Miyo were how I originally envisioned the menu in MiyoLinux until I accidentally discovered Obmenu Generator...and that stinkin' spoiled everything. LOLOLOL!

While we're on the subject...

I prefer collard greens over turnip greens, but what I really like is raw Spinach. Hard to beat a raw Spinach salad...

As long as it comes with onions I like all of them, greens.

On strokes and keys subject, there are those optional visual keyboards that open up in random sizes and locations, so not two password entries will ever seem identical in terms of mouse movement.
Tails uses something along those lines from login screen and it is available at a click of a button everywhere-else.

My favorite search engines is starpage with scripts off. It seems so underrated and well hidden in the mozilla ad-ons list that I interpret as trusty-worthy.

I'm beginning to think my occasional failure with ob-gen may be hw/X related. It seems every little while the menu collapses and only a scrape and reinstall clears the mess up.

Oh yeah...

...just tried a whole new Ascii build and used my new installation method of Obmenu-Generator to make sure my previous success wasn't a fluke. Worked like an charm. Plus, it's version .84 of Obmenu-Generator...which (I believe) is the latest version? Also, if I understand it correctly, it should now adapt to a user's language??? Will be interesting to find out.

I haven't tried an upgrade from Ascii to Ceres with the new Obmenu-Generator...kind'a scared to. LOL! I'll eventually get my guts up and give it a whirl to see what happens though.

That's what I use too.

Oh dear...I couldn't wait.

Just did an upgrade of my latest MiyoLinux Ascii build to Ceres to see whether Obmenu-Generator would still work...

It morphed into LXQt!

My beautiful Openbox distro became LXQt without my consent! LOL!

Grrrr........and Grr some more.

golinux · 2017-11-23 02:35:50

You did have a backup, didn't you?

No. This was just a test build...I hadn't fully customized it. It was mainly to see how Obmenu-Generator would install/perform in Ascii...then I couldn't restrain myself from upgrading to Ceres.

Idiotic me didn't look at what would be installed when I did the dist-upgrade from Ascii to Ceres.

Strange that this hasn't happened before when upgrading to Ceres.

Hmmm...what's that sneeky Debian up to?

golinux · 2017-11-23 02:57:56

I thought that QT was the culprit

Well, despite my lack of paying attention, I do still wonder why it automatically changed from just Openbox to LXQt. LXQt uses Openbox as its window manager...but still...to install LXQt over Openbox itself? Grrr........

I guess since I had PCManFM installed and a couple of other LXDE apps (lxinput and lxrandr), it thought I wanted LXQt. LOLOLOL!!!

I think it is, FYI the last version from August says it's version .99, and now this one is .84, so I don't think we can count on the numbers, lol.

Saw that note about locale support, interesting stuff.

Good grief...I've installed it three times through git, and it's been .84 each time.

MiyoLinux · 2017-11-25 17:43:53

Good gravy! Finally finished the latest 32 bit version...kept finding little things to fix.

The 64 bit should go much faster.

I'll have a few surprises in this release...nothing major, but it should make for an interesting release. Miyo is still Miyo.

Also...I think I'll release these preemptively as 2018 releases...I have so many stinkin' .isos in the 2017 folder on Sourceforge, that I don't want to add to the confusion. LOL! They're based on Ascii, so when Devuan releases Ascii .isos, I'll look them over and see if I need to make new .isos to replace the ones I'm making now. If not, they should suffice for quite some time.

Coming soon...

Dd you also have to install the newer Perl module to use it? Won't work on my machine at the moment because my version of Linux::DesktopFiles is reporting as .12 and the new script requires .25

I think now the version .99 thing was a typo, it was supposed to be .79 I think, so that would explain that.

Well...no sir...but I've only tried the git installation on Ascii. Here's what Perl is showing in Synaptic on Ascii...

5.24.1-3+deb9u2

That's the number of perl, perl-base, and perl-modules in Ascii as of this writing...and everything worked fine 'n dandy.

Ahh I just fixed mine. My Perl version is 5.20 I think but that's not the issue, it was indeed the Linux::DesktopFiles perl module, in the ascii upgrade you must have gotten it automagically?

The Linux::DesktopFiles perl module versioning itself is different from the Perl version, Trizen has a new version (.25) of it as another project on github.

Sooooo....to upgrade my existing obmenu-generator, I downloaded the .zip of his perl module here: https://github.com/trizen/Linux-DesktopFiles, and extracted, opened a terminal and ran commands to build/install:

 perl Build.PL
     ./Build
     ./Build test
     ./Build install

Which upgraded me to .25 module, I then unpacked the obmenu-generator folder and replaced just the script itself in /usr/bin and it fired right up.

Maybe this will help someone that has an existing obmenu-generator install to upgrade to latest script.

Thanks for confirmation fungus.

MiyoLinux · 2017-11-28 02:09:54

AH HA!

I think I've figured out why my upgrade from Ascii to Ceres went all Qt in my latest build...but it's early yet...so we'll see how it goes.

I just hope I haven't posted this prematurely! LOLOLOL!

Edited to add: Oh dear...first impressions are looking great. If I'm right, I'll have to rebuild the 32 bit version. DOH!

Okay...

I just did another upgrade to test my theory, and my assumption was correct as to why the system went from Openbox to LXQt in an upgrade from Ascii to Ceres. It had to do with PCManFM pulling in all kinds of LXQt stuff in Ascii. Got that fixed with a simple --no-install-recommends.

However, the upgrade killed Obmenu-Generator.

Had to do the git installation again, but after cloning trizen's repository, all I needed to do was reinstall the...

Linux::DesktopFiles

After that, I ran...

obmenu-generator -p -i

...and everything was hunky-dory!

Wrote all of this from the Ceres installation...

I got a dollah says this is all that's needed.

obmenu-generator will automatically run the -p -i command when you click on it the first time, so shouldn't be necessary to do that either.

fungus · 2017-11-30 00:45:59

On one installation I fiddling with ob---tor -p results into a menu while ob....tor -p -i breaks it?
Any ideas what it might be? Where does ob-gen pick up icons from?

LOL! I like your style greenjeans.

I can't remember what the error said, but it was definitely related to the DesktopFiles. I've whittled down what it takes to fix it in Ceres, but I'll see if that works when I get the chance. When installing it through git, you have to add the dependencies to do so...which installs a lot of dependencies of the dependencies. Working from memory here, but I think the main dependencies are git, build-essential, and cpanminus (don't quote me on that). So, after installing it, I remove those three followed by an "apt autoremove" in order to remove the whole shebang. For the Ceres fix, I just reinstall git and cpanminus, clone trizen's repository, and only run the command to install the DesktopFiles again...then remove everything again. Sounds like a lot of trouble, but it only takes a minute to do it all. However, if I can whittle it down even more with your suggestion, that'll be better.

I'm on my phone fungus, so I can't check. However, it should say where it looks for icons in ~/.config/obmenu-generator/config.pl

Not sure why using the command to add icons would break it...
