Bento2 - OBUbuntu Remix presentation
melodie:
Hi,
After the last months working on this project, I can say it now looks almost like an official one, if it was not for the few ppa inside and a handful of details related to decoration. The most obvious will be the Lubuntu slideshow, used temporarily in this spin, which we will replace at some time in the future.

Options:
feh and tint2 don't show. Feh is used by the "xsnow start/stop" script.
tint2 can be used to replace lxpanel. Change it in $HOME/.config/autostart
where you can rename the two following files appropriately:
lxpanel.desktop
tint2.desktop-backup
Zram module configured and started from the /etc/rc.local file // to djohnston: could you pass over the script you use to activate and deactivate it from the menus ? I would like very much to have a look at it...
openbox-menu allows having the dynamically generated and updated menus in
Openbox ! \o/
obsession (not packaged yet, installed in /usr/local) provides the power management menus. :)

What does it look like ?
At start, there are two funny drawings down the screen:
...so just press any key on the keyboard to get the next screen, or else it will start the installer directly. If you do so, you will get a choice for the language:
Once the language chosen, you get several entries, and options:
if you choose to try without installing the following screen will appear:
and soon you will discover the desktop:
The right-click is default setup to the Openbox menu - with the Applications menu provided by openbox-menu :
It is possible to change it by hitting the "Desktop Prefs" menu:
and untick the choice "Show menus provided by window managers when desktop is clicked":
if you want to switch back, you will have to hit again the Desktop preferences entry in the Lxde like right-click menu:
The Lxpanel menu provides classic menus as in Lxde:
The distribution offers many gui applications to configure the system and the desktop as you can see in the list of the following image:
The Openbox theme is Clearlooks 3.4 and the GTK3 theme is Clearlooks as well (installed apart from the repos as it's not packaged) as you can see when looking at the window of the Ubiquity installer:
and when it is time to quit comes obsession (not yet packaged):
A reminder of what this distribution is made from:
Ubuntu Mini Remix - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-mini-remix
Some additional packages for the system, listed along the numerous tests of the paste months
Ubuntu Builder gui tool built with Gambas - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-builder
This latest test release, which should be the last before starting to work on creating new packages and on the customizations, is 687 MB large and can be downloaded from this link:
ISO: bento2-ubuntu-remix.12.04-i386.iso
md5sum: bento2-ubuntu-remix.12.04-i386.md5sum

The LXDE desktop session is also installed and available as a login choice. Is that by design? Just wondering, because compared to the Openbox desktop, the LXDE desktop is butt-ugly, has mostly wrong icons, and has no folder icons in PCManFM.
There is a problem with the Users and Groups application. Please see here for details.

"butt-ugly" lol! roftl! I added lxsession at some point when I was seeking for a solution to a problem... I thought recently I would remove it just to see if the problem comes back or if it was solved by something else I added. So I will remove it and we'll see what happens then.

I can see Taco has worked well and found a turn around which could help us for the time being. I have added a comment after I saw the bug report he pointed to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/1025094?comments=all
I didn't point to here in the comment, I just hope adding a feedback will wake them up (they have lots of reported bugs to triage and take care of... as usual).
Thanks, and looking forward to it if you find more to report.

Before you remove it, please do this:
Open Synaptic and update or do sudo apt-get update. Upgrade the system. (I had a kernel update waiting.) Then install the galternatives package. Dependencies=none. This is a GUI frontend to Debian's /etc/alternatives. Right now, startlxde is the default session manager. If you remove lxsession, you may run into problems. This happened to me once before on Lubuntu.
Start the Alternatives Configurator from Applications > Preferences. Scroll down the left pane and select x-session-manager. In the right pane, click the Add button. In the popup window, set the priority to 100. Click the Browse button. Browse to /usr/bin/ and select openbox-session. Click OK.
That will actually change Openbox to be the new default session manager. Then you can uninstall LXDE packages without the rug being pulled out from under you. There are a lot of uses for the Alternatives Configurator GUI. It's much easier than hunting down and soft-linking the alternatives to the available options.

Preferences > Input Method Switcher doesn't work. Reason:
--- Code: ---darrel@Bento:~$ im-switch
/usr/bin/im-switch: 1: eval: zenity: not found
/usr/bin/im-switch: 455: /usr/bin/im-switch: zenity: not found
darrel@Bento:~$
--- Fin du code ---
Zenity's missing. I'm not sure why you leave the ibus and im-switch packages installed. They are generally used for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. keyboards.
