My second flash on this was Kali , downloaded when I downloaded Kali KDE before I even started on the Pi. Need to see what this thing can do and then revisit. It's crazy how much time can go by setting these things up! Often just to start all over, but it's cool because OMG, I have like..the most awesome pi like ever. I haven't actually tried Raspbian yet. I think I need to order a stack of SD cards and another pi or two, these things are sweet.

Most successful thus far. In case some random pi enthusiast pops by, this is February's image, fully expanded with partition manager before putting on the pi. This is necessary for the next step, installing gnome-control center. Why no pi image I encounter comes with Alsaplayer installed I haven't a clue but that is added, plus conky, because watching your cpu is somewhat paramount here, but I need it to be simple for the same reason it is needed. Alsaplayer allows you to stream .pls with little impact on resources. OMV works with a click here and that is awesome. Gnome-control-center may not be something to add if you are not using hdmi, but it makes life easier all the way around, and overrides any sound issues.

Funny, I didn't particularly care for Bodhi before, it felt loose, like DSL or Puppy, a heavy project with little reward. This is why it doesn't pay to hate and become a fanboy, variety is the spice of life, an essential ingredient in Linux. Still...won't be seeing any MINT here The Bodhi green got to me, it had to go

Thank You

Some fallback on Pi. This was done with Raspbian, I ran LXDE. Openbox, Gnome-Openbox. Gnome CLassic, no problems but XFCE presented issues, of course there really is no advantage in multiple DE I think, but why not? Probably should have stuck with LXDE, but I didn't notice fallback being to hard on the system.

I mentioned on OZ the difficulties getting to DM off Bodhi, and have stumbled across a way to solve the issue.

Code: Select all

apt-get remove nodm

[Xanayoshi]

Ugh, I forgot, that won't completely solve the issue, there are also a bunch of modifications to lightdm, sooo

Code: Select all

sudo passwd

bodhilinux is password, then enter your own

Code: Select all

su

Code: Select all

apt-get purge lightdm

Code: Select all

apt-get install lightdm

Code: Select all

apt-get remove nodm

This will take you out of x, do not startx

Code: Select all

su

Code: Select all

poweroff

Restart Pi
Now it should be at lightdm
Login is pi
Password is bodhilinux

XAN, now this is why I say you should give building a shot! You have got the ingenuity that it takes!!!!Very awesome to see! Hope you never stop as get great info and ideas from all this!

Maybe one day, I am still pretty new to all this, thank you very much for the kind words. I am sure I will experiment with your builds long before that ever happens, but I am still having fun with this but it does become daunting.

I did go back to working Kali for a little while and everything was going fine, but I am having issues replacing pulseaudio because it doesn't work too well with HDMI, I can get it going but it's just awful. I didn't think about it, but yeahhhh XFCE4. These are all emulates so there are going to be issues, like a large percentage of pi images come with VLC but I still haven't seen how it's useful. Even skinning it down to nothing it's heavy and a heavy skin will freeze everything up, but it tends to have audio hiccups, so Kali, with VLC and pulseaudio is just worthless. Not a big deal but I need to track down the alsapackages for the system tray in the raspian repos. Kali is not really for media anyways, what it's for it is setup well, but I don't really care for XFCE at any rate. It is very fast and responsive and for what Kali is that makes a bit of difference but most of that will be done out of X anyways, so ideally you would probably just ssh it and treat it as a remote hacker terminal.

Almost forgot,

Cost 40 RAM for pretty windows but it's all good, that's not exactly a problem anyways. Really, I don't need swap, Kali and PiBang don't have it at all. It's more of a processor gamble and I am not overclocked on this.

Also serves as a reminder that you don't have to use Ubuntu, Debian is more than capable of delivering. This is Bodhi after all, which is generally Ubuntu, running Gnome Classic bare bones off Debian Raspbian Repos.

On to OpenSuse.
