jloc0Got that new #plasma beta 2 up and running on #crux but I also posted packages for #slackware in my little slim-plasma repo, ready for consumption.
I added a port for #tuba, the masto client, to my semi-personal & mostly unprofessional #crux ports repo #portastrophe where I'll probably add some more gnome-based things before long. I still need to do some clean room build testing, but it's working great in #niri under #dms so far.
@kevinbowen The #crux community is small, and while I'm still relatively a newbie within, the fact that I started maintaining things no one else had time or energy to do helps to keep people using the independant distro. I don't get a lot of requests or even problem reports, but I sure will do what I can to keep the users happy!
I'd been asked to add a set of legacy themes for #xfwm4 to my #crux #xfce repository. I do have a list of things to potentially add to the repo, but this from the 4.10 gtk2 days was not on that list. The source link that was shared with me was from the #slackware 14.1 source tree. 🤔
Still, I did find the actual source, and it's even found in the AUR as well, so I'm sure it's a worthy addition, even if it's been abandoned upstream, it shouldn't be much to "maintain" in the future.
Well Plasma BigScreen on #crux gives me a nice black screen with no information, but typing brings up the built-in launcher, so I was able to logout. The Settings app has no options for it, so I must be missing something. It also resized the statusbar to a shrunken-teeny size, I'll have to reset that.
That's definately beta software. heh
*/me reads the Plasma 6.7-beta release notes* oh-- I didn't package up the two new things Union & bigscreen. Ah well, I guess I'll have to add them. Who has time to RTFM anyway? pfff
I did take a time-out and updated my #crux system to the beta, which proved more work than I intended, since some things hadn't been packaged at all and I'm lazy enough to overlook updating ports that only I'm using which may or may not break things I'm trying to do.
Live and learn, live and learn. 😆
Fucked up my dracut created initrd in #crux or was it the update to v111? No clue yet, no time to diagnose before work but seems I’m missing a needed uhci module required to boot. Yay for that, guess I’ll have some fun ahead of me later.
Pour one out for blindly updating things and expecting them to just work. 😅
Got sidetracked today when #crux pushed qt6.11.1 everywhere. At least #slackware hasn’t pushed a qt6 update in some time, not sure on the why over there. But some #slackaroni updates will be coming soon!
I updated the #crux port overlay for #lxqt to the latest 2.4.0 release.
To use the overlay, one needs to add the 'kde-plasma-6' overlay and then 'lxqt' on top of that. Of course, LXQt supports many WMs, from openbox, xfwm4, to all the latest Wayland compositors like hyprland, kwin_wayland, sway, and even niri, as seen in the attached screenshot.
