I have combined many tools for panel control into one piece. Thus, panel settings have become easier. I have also added another tool for sorting the tool for adding applications to the panel.
I have made a new tool for window settings of any application. With this tool, you will be able to control the windows of the application you want.
There is also a separate tool for menu settings.
You can change the keyboard language. You can change the volume with the mouse wheel from the icon on the panel.
You can add a separate picture for each virtual table.
In addition to Jgmenü, a nice full screen menu has been added, written by Tomas Matejicek and slightly modified by myself for JWM. I would like to thank other developers, as well as the Jgmenu developer and the Xlunch developers.

Besgnulinux JWM 02-00 version is ready to use

 

System information

Based on Debian 11 Bullseye (Stable non-free version)

Version number: 02-00

DE: obsession

WM: JWM

Processor architecture: 64bit

Disk usage: 7.3GB on average

Ram usage: Average 220 MB

Kernel: 5.10.0-23

Icon theme: Besgnulinux

System theme: Besgnulinux

Installation tool: Calamares

Grub setup: UEFI and BIOS

The Besgnulinux JWM 02-00 release was planned to be built with Debian 12, but Debian 12 has many bugs yet. That's why it was built with Debian 11 base for stable and smooth operation. Also, 32bit was planned as well as 64bit, but a useful 32bit version cannot be created as many software has now discontinued 32bit support.

After this short explanation, the purpose of Besgnulinux is as follows.

1- Stability.

2- Less resource usage.

3- Usability.

4- New users.

JWM 02-00 was developed around these four key goals.

Instead of software that uses the system too much, light, stable and useful software has been added with simple tools that I have created myself.

Some of these software are as below.

Pcmanfm, Lxterminal, Pluma, Gparted, Gdebi, Synaptic, Galculator, Mtpaint, qimgv, Guvcview, Abiword, Atril, Bleachbit, Brave Web Browser...

Brave Browser is the system's default browser as it uses fewer resources and is faster.

Pluma is the default text editor as it is lightweight and displays commands in separate color.

qimgv is the default image viewer that is both lightweight and very useful.

All of the tools I made were created with Yad and a total of 25 useful tools are available in the system.

Some features I made for this version are as follows.

Normally there is no software to add icons to the JWM panel. With the simple tool I developed, you can add an icon to the panel with one click or remove it with one click.

The most used directories have been added to the panel in order to speed up usage.

Many features have been added to the file manager right click context menu. These features will make your job much easier.

With the Change Theme Color tool, you can change the system theme and icon theme colors according to your taste.

There are many tools such as screen brightness adjustment, Weather, Startup manager.

You will also find some conveniences for JWM that contain a lot of tools called "JWM Tools".

As I mentioned above, this version, which was developed to be stable, low-resource usage and useful, is suitable for use on new machines as well as old machines. Also, new users can easily install it without any hassle, and with the essential tools needed, they won't feel any minuses.

How to fix corrupted grub?

 

For some reason sometimes grub can get corrupted.
If the grub is corrupted, you will not be able to login to the system.
You will see the screen shown in the picture above.
But this problem is not a serious problem in linux environment, it can be fixed easily.

If you encounter a screen like the one in the picture, let's start solving it.
We can do this in two sessions.
We can solve it with it, whether from any system written to USB or if you have another system installed.
The procedure we will do is the same in both, there is no difference.
When you switch from USB to live session or other installed system, open the terminal and start executing the commands below in order.
With this command we get root right.

sudo -i

This command gives an output similar to the one below. Here we specify the partition we want to recover. It may be different for you, for example: /dev/sda2

sudo blkid

Separate partition with this command.
You write which partition you want to recover instead of XX at the bottom. It may be different for you, for example: /dev/sda2
Then paste them all into the terminal.

mount /dev/sdXX /mnt &&
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev &&
mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts &&
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc &&
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

With this command, we enter the system we want to recover.

chroot /mnt

Now that we have entered the system, we can edit the group.
If your system is old grub (bios mbr), let's set up the group with the command below.

apt install grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common -y && update-grub

If your system is new efi (UEFI) and 64bit, let's set up the group with the command below.

apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64 -y && update-grub

If you have done it properly so far, let's exit the system by entering all of the commands below to the terminal.

exit &&
umount /mnt/sys &&
umount /mnt/proc &&
umount /mnt/dev/pts &&
umount /mnt/dev &&
umount /mnt

After the last operation, restart the system with the command below and then remove the USB.

systemctl reboot

After this simple process, the corrupted grub will be fixed and you will be logged into the system.
