Besgnulinux 02-09 64bit and 32bit ready to use

System information

Based on: Debian Bookworm (stable)

Version number: 02-09_0

DE: JWM

WM: JWM

Processor architecture: 64bit & 32bit

Disk usage: average 8 GB

Ram usage: average 250 MB

Kernel: 6.1.0-37-amd64 & 6.1.0-37-686-pae

Icon theme: bes-icon

System theme: bes-theme-dark

Installer: Calamares

Grub installation: UEFI and BIOS

What has been done in this version?

The Dockbar, which I adapted with JWM's own panel to use the tools faster, is active.

Apart from the Dockbar, you can also add icons to the Favorites menu that I adapted from the on-screen menu.

I adapted the exit tool from the screen menu again, so it looks nicer.

Desktop files have been created for Besgnulinux tools. This way you can use them from both the system menu and the screen menu.

Added different tasks to the default icons on the panel with left-right clicks.

Frequency information has also been added to the screen resolution tool.

Database feature was added to the search tool except for normal search.

The "activating vehicles" tool has been made more stable and some additional tasks have been added.

Xbindkeys, adapted for adding and removing keys.

The 'Window Controls' tool has been adapted both personally and generally.

The "startup settings" tool was rearranged.

The problem in the "Create Masasutu File" tool has been fixed.

The default application tool has been revamped. You can visually change tools with one click.

Added two large conky configurations for Conky, left and right. Large conky's are a bit too resource intensive, so I don't recommend them on weak machines.

The system theme and appearance are dominated by electric-indigo color. All colors are harmonious and look more pleasant.

You can change it to the color you want with the "Change theme color" tool.

80 images have been added to your choice for the background. You can change the background image with a single click using the "Change background" tool.

Since the language translation of the tools was prepared in advance, the language translation was reduced to a very short time.

Many more operations were performed, some small errors were corrected and some small changes were made.

External Information

- If you have installed an EFI on a disk, install EFI for other sections. If you have installed Bios, set up bios in other sections.

Your disk must be shaped as GPT for EFI installation.

- You should select Bios or UEFI from the Bios screen, the first screen of the computer.

- Installation with Calamares is easy. Set the disk section where you will install the system as "/".

For UEFI section, format it as FAT32 in size of 500 MB. Then make the top option "Boot/Efi", marking the bottom option as "boot".

- After arriving in the session, use the "Adjust Screen Resolution" tool for screen resolution.

- Feel free to mix the system. Even if something goes wrong, you can re -installation.

Besgnulinux 02-09 version was prepared as a result of both 64 bit and 32-bit meticulous work. It was ready for use on all old-new computers, fast, useful and determined. Therefore, do not discard the old or weak computers, revive it with Besgnulinux.

Verify iso

After downloading the iso file, enter the following command into the terminal to verify that it has been downloaded correctly.

md5sum ./besgnulinux-jwm-02-07_0-amd64.iso

If it gives this result, it has been downloaded correctly, if it is not the same, it has been downloaded corruptly.

You can also compare the md5 and sha1 verification results by clicking on the button with the "I" in the circle as seen in the image below from where you downloaded it.

Bios UEFI Option

After writing the ISO file to the USB, select the line that says UEFI for UEFI installation as seen in the picture below. For Bios installation, select the non-UEFI line from the Bios screen as in the second picture.

No password required for live login. If needed anyway.

This version was needed because Liquorix kernel and Virtualbox conflicted in version 02-06_1. It was rebuilt with Debian 6.1.0-28 kernel instead of Liquorix kernel.

Virtualbox works fine in version 02-06_2 and no other problems were encountered.

It is my goal to revive old and weak computers and offer a usable, lightweight, stable operating system to new users.

Please feel free to feedback even if you encounter a small problem.

Besgnulinux version 02-06_2 is ready to use.

Besgnulinux JWM 02-06_2

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.

When you encounter a problem as in the title, a screen similar to the picture above will appear.
On this screen, the system starts up with an average delay of 1.30 minutes.
The source of the problem occurs when a partition of the disk, such as swap, is deleted or reformatted.
If you encounter such a problem, let's start troubleshooting.

Enter the command in the terminal to get the UUID of the partitions.

sudo blkid

It will give output similar to this.

Copy the UUID marked in red on the line that says swap.
Paste it in the specific place at the bottom.

UUID=PASTE-HERE none swap sw 0 0

First, delete the invalid swap value if it exists in the fstab file with this command.

sudo sed -i '/swap/d' /etc/fstab

Then paste this entire command into the terminal and print it to /etc/fstab.

echo "UUID=PASTE HERE none swap sw 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab >> /dev/null

Paste the same swap value in the specific location below and paste the entire command to the terminal and print it to the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume.

echo "RESUME=UUID=PASTE HERE" | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume > /dev/null

Finally, enter the command below into the terminal.
If there is no output named resume, the operation was successful.

sudo update-initramfs -u

If the operation was successful, it will no longer wait for 1.30 minutes at boot.
Good luck.

BesMpvTray is adapted to manage the MPV video player from the system tray and make it easy to use.

Based on Debian 11 Bullseye (non-free version)
Version number: 01-04
DE: JWM
WM: JWM
Processor architecture: 64bit
Disk usage: 8GB on average
Ram usage: Average 143 MB
Core: 5.10.0-18
Icon theme: Besgnulinux
System theme: Besgnulinux
Installation tool: Calamares

The version 01-04 that I built with special tools for JWM is ready to use.
This version was created with lightweight tools that do not tire the system as in other versions. However, unlike other versions, the system management tools were specially made by me for JWM.
Non-JWM tools were not added as much as possible. Only essential packages have been added.
I created a double panel at the top and bottom as I found it more useful.
Icons clock, Conky, menu and tools I made for JWM are on the top panel. The bottom panel acts as a taskbar to minimize and maximize windows.
The tools I made for JWM are as follows:
- Add or remove icons from the panel with one click. (New)
- Add or remove icons from the menu with one click. (New)
- Add or remove key for keyboard with one click. (New)
- Change panel directions with one click. (New)
- Start or end tools such as network tray, battery. (New)
- Take a screen, window or area picture from the panel.
- Change JWM color. (New)
- Change system theme and icon color. (New)
- Add or remove icons in the Favorites menu with one click. (New)
- Change screen resolution with one click. (New)
- Change background image with one click.
- Change keyboard language with one click.

Apart from these vehicles, there are also nearly twenty vehicles and all of them have been rearranged.
As I mentioned at the beginning, externally installed tools are just basic usage tools.
The list of installed tools is as follows:
Gparted, Synaptic, Bleachbit, Catfish, Pluma, Atril, Mtpaint, Abiword, Smplayer, Firefox Esr and some simple games.
Although the Pluma text editor is a Mate session editor, I added it because it is lightweight and quite capable.

Equipped with tools specially made for JWM, this version was quite light and at the same time very useful version.
It can be used in new machines as well as in old machines. Because all Firmware software is attached, it is suitable for all old-new machines.

The Distrowatch site has some terms. Besgnulinux is not in a position to meet those requirements.
For example, the distribution must have an official site.
The distribution should have its own forum.
The distribution must have its own repository.
Besgnulinux is a distribution developed by a single person. It does not have the environment to fulfill these conditions.
It does not have an environment to meet the needs of the user materially and morally.
Also, Besgnulinux has no growth targets.
The main purpose of Besgnulinux is to bring old computers back to life thanks to lightweight sessions with a window manager.
In this way, it is trying to be useful to people who do not have a computer or cannot buy a new computer.
Old computers that are thrown in the trash or thrown into a corner are thus enabling many people to meet computers by recycling them.
Such recycling is possible thanks to the possibilities of Debian and GNU/Linux.
Therefore, Besgnulinux serves a different environment.
Therefore, there is little need for the Distrowatch site. However, if there are volunteers who want to develop Besgnulinux and fulfill the Distrowatch requirements, they can become ace developers and take over the development task from me, provided that they do not deviate from the light session goal of Besgnulinux.

These minuses are not a problem for the distribution. Besgnulinux will continue to be fast, lightweight and convenient for weak computers.

Firefox's WM environments have two title bars by default. It takes one from the system theme and the other from the WM environment itself.

The two extra title bars are neither necessary nor nice.

In this tutorial, I will try to explain how to remove Firefox title bar in Openbox session.
It is possible to remove the Firefox title bar in the Openbox environment.
If you're using Openbox and are bothered by Firefox's two title bars, let's get started with the pretty easy process.

First, let's write the following command in the /etc/environment file.
Open terminal and paste the following command.

sudo -i
echo "MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=client" | tee >> /etc/environment

Open the ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml rc.xml file in this path with a text editor.
At the bottom of the file </openbox_config> is above this line.
    <application class="Firefox">
      <decor>no</decor>
    </application>

It will be like below.
    <application class="Firefox">
      <decor>no</decor>
    </application>
</openbox_config>

Right click next to the address bar as in the picture below and click the "Customize Toolbar" button.

On the page that opens, leave the "Title Bar" tick blank as in the picture below.

After this last action, restart the computer.
When you open Firefox, the title bar will be removed as below.
You can now use Firefox with the title bar removed in the Openbox environment.

Besgnulinux 01-03 JWM 64bit and 32bit ready to use.

Both processor architecture structures are the same. It's built with the same processes and the same packages.

It was built with lightweight packages to use less resources. However, different processes have been done to make it useful. JWM's own panel has been adapted with both the panel and favorite files as well as Conky. Thus, it has been turned into a useful environment without taking up space on the screen.

In addition, the possibility of showing separate pictures on each of the tables we call Pager has been created. Thanks to the tool I made, you can quickly increase or decrease the number of them.

Conky can be taken both to the desktop and to the favorites section.

You can simply change the jwm theme color with the tool I made again.

You can take screen, window and area pictures with the screenshot tool I added to the panel.

Again, for convenience and lightness, you can run net-wifi, battery, transparent tasks and activate the desktop with the tool called on/off that I added to the panel.

To reduce system usage, you can adjust the sound with the tool I added to the panel.

In addition, you can check some important works from the keyboard by looking at the key tool information that I have added to the panel.

With some commands I added to the right context menu of pcmanfm, you can manage images in batches, print Iso files and do a few more operations.

In general, the tools that facilitate many more functions that I have done with Yad software have been adapted to the system.

Installation is done as usual with Calamares.

You can download this version, which is light, fast, good performance and carefully developed for all old and new machines, from the link below.

32bit iso file is suitable for old computers. 64bit iso file is more ideal for new machines.

I made a simple app launcher tool in the Tint2 panel for Debian based distributions.

As you can see from the picture, it consists of two parts. An icon is added to the panel from the left section and removed from the right section.

To add or remove it from the panel, just double-click on the line.

It works fine in besgnulinux environment. I hope it will work in other Debian-based environments such as Ubuntu, Mint.

You can install the bes-tint2-launcher.deb package found in the tar file.

Processor architecture: 64bit

Disk usage: 8GB on average

Ram usage: 180 MB on average

Core: 5.10.0-14

Installation tool: Calamares

This version is the edited and improved version of the openbox-01-03 version I shared before.

- Minor issues fixed.

- Added network-manager-gnome for wifi and network management. You can turn it on or off with the Tray apps tool I placed on the panel.

- Chromium is preferred instead of Firefox because it uses system resources too much.

- Mint Chromium is preferred because Debian Chromium runs too many tools in the background.

- I made the process of adding and removing files to the Favorites tool that I added to the panel simpler. You can add or remove desktop files from the same window.

- Weather plugin has been removed as icon due to problems with url, but it works in full screen.

- In this version, instead of Jgmenu, I made the openbox-generator menu, which I found lighter, the default.

- File search tool named Angrysearch has been added as well as previous software.

- All of the tools and other services I have done with Yad have been rearranged.

- Added many items to Pcmanfm right context menu to make it easier to use.

- Again, I added a tool called Image Manager that I made with Yad. With this tool, you can batch cut, transform, brighten, rotate and resize images.

Plugins in the panel are disabled by default, you can add them with one click with the Tray apps tool in the panel.

- Also added Xanmod kernel, Liquorix kernel repositories and Backports repository. You can install both kernels with the Kernel Manager tool and update the system from the Backports repository with the Update system tool.

You can download this version, which has fixed problems, works very stable, is useful, light and has good performance, from the link below.

I can say the final version for Besgnulinux Openbox 01-03 64bit version.

In the version made with Tint2 panel and Jgmenu, many necessary operations were made especially for the panel.

These processes are as below, respectively.

- Plugins such as Cpu, Ram, Volume, Battery, Network, Temp, Weather have been added and all can be added from one window.

- More features required for the panel have been added to the icon named Quick apps next to the clock.

- Added Minimize all windows and hide foreground window button.

- For quick use, you can add and remove desktop files from the window called Favorites on the panel.

- The Jgmenu panel menu, which I specially edited for the menu and found useful.

- By right-clicking on the menu button, you can quickly run all the applications installed in the system from the opened window.

- Direction tool has been made for Panel and Conky, you can get both of them with one click on the desired side of the screen.

- With the Change background tool, which is one of the tools I made, you can change the background images with one click.

- I made a simple tool for jgmenu, with it you can set menu colors and fonts simply.

- I added the Kernel manager I edited to this version. You can install or uninstall the kernel with it.

- You can use some tools that I have developed myself, such as Screenshot, Third Party Software, Power Time Control.

- You can run anything you want to run at system startup with the Startup Settings tool.

- You can restore important default files in the home directory with the Restore Essential Home Files tool.

- Very useful features such as Burn to USB, Open Terminal, batch size images, batch convert images, set background have been added to the pcmanfm right click context menu.

- Applications added to the system were tried to be as light and less numerous as possible.

As I said at the beginning, we can call this version the final version for this version, which is useful, light, has good performance and provides ease of use with various tools. I can easily recommend this most advanced version of Openbox that I have shared so far.

Note: The xdg-desktop-portal software is a utility for Flatpak and Snap. If you are not going to use Flatpak, Snap, you can remove the xdg-desktop-portal software installed with Chromium and running in the background.

sudo apt remove xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

The purpose of the BesGnuLinux Minimal version is for everyone to create their own session.

The minimal version has no desktop, no software installed other than the core components.

It is completely left to the preference of the user's freedom.

After installing with Calamares, you can install a desktop or window manager on the system you have installed and create the system according to your own wishes.
