This new image also allows me to set the proper locale.

Re: [DNG] Ubuntu w/out systemd?

I am running Slackware Current (similar to Debian Unstable) on a laptop
with Plasma5 packaged by alienbob and no systemd in sight.  Plasma5 is
quite clearly capable of full functionality on a system completely
lacking a systemd installation.

Hi Nate!  alienbob is a workaholic, every group needs one. I've parted 
with Patrick, he's a fun guy to hang with and I love Slack and I have 
installed Slack a few times and Patrick has installed it for me too 
while at kde4 release at google.  I wish I was using it, but I have 
disabilities that keep me from being much of a keyboarder and I'm very 
thankful for point-n-click linux and Debian apt.


Nate do you know if kde from Slackware can be ported to Debian or 
Devuan?  Something like that would be a blessing for a kde user.


Plasma has packages who's names end with D and all are related to 
systemd and do systemd service even when systemd is not there and they 
are being started with any init system you are using, they can be 
removed, but you have to find the buggers first. Life today is a 
struggle to be without systemd.


Like other people I have been playing with removing systemd for a long 
time, but only the last month did I get serous about leaving systemd 
completely, as a linux tester it was a hard choice to make and now I see 
there is a real war going on to keep systemd out of your OS.


You should spend a week with Trinity and see all the things that you are 
missing in Plasma.  KDE3 is a award winning desktop both Unix and 
Groupware compliant and very configurable. I've added a snapshot of my 
Ceres system, enjoy. https://paste.pics/36KUG

[DNG] Netdev info for simple-netaid, setnet...

2018-05-30 Thread aitor_czr

Hi all,

As i announced in the irc channel, i've extracted the code of the 
netstatus plugin for LXPanel. This plugin has been ported by Hong Jen 
Yee (PCManFM) from the original code comming from the GNOME2 netstatus 
panel applet.


I've been testing it and works succesfully. For example, in the case of 
a wireless connection, it gives me the following output in the command line:


NETDEV_INFO:
IP Adress = 192.168.0.11
Broadcast = 192.168.0.255
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Protocol = IEEE 802.11
Essid = "Euskaltel-58YA"
Signal Quality = 94%
Netdev Status: "Connected to wlan0"

On the other hand, in the case of a wired connection it gives me this 
other one:


NETDEV_INFO:
IP Adress = 192.168.0.10
Broadcast = 192.168.0.255
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Netdev Status: "Connected to eth0"

After unplugging from my router, i get:

NETDEV_INFO:
Netdev Status: "Disconnected"

What is more it also works fine in the case of renamed devices like 
eth1/wlan1, etc... and doesn't need root permissions.


This is great for projects like setnet and simple-netaid!

When i tidy the code, i'll push it to gitlab.

Cheers,

  Aitor.
