Nemesis Mate

[Blaze]

unless this doesnt work and thers something else somewhere that uses the --force option?

I remember --force option from Slackware. More info here
If I use Russian localization without --force option, the Desktop folder is stay with name Desktop (not Рабочий стол)
If I use Russian localization with --force option, all ok - I have the name Рабочий стол (not Desktop)

I was checking my build out and I found something was not working.

In the screen shot. The Control Center in Look and Feel the Main Menu is not working. Is there or is there something missing from making it working or opening up? If there someone using Nemesis Mate could you try it to see?

I know in Porteus Mate it works because I try it.

How can I get Spell checker to work? I have these installed.

Code: Select all

aspell
aspell-en
hspell
hunspell

In Pluma text editor it works if you turn it on each time you run it but I wish it would stay activate all the time.

In Firefox it has a check mark to check for spelling but it don't check the spelling.

In Liberaoffice it has a check mark to check for spelling but it don't check the spelling.

There could be other program that needs a spell checker but not sure.

How can I make them check the spelling?

This is to try to revive jack's version of mate. I hope this helps.

Will look into it, but keep in mind Nemesis is artix (openrc), whereas Archlinux is systemd.

So trying to start Mate session with something like:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable lightdm

won't work...

I think it needs to be started manually. Something like
editing /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
and change this:

Code: Select all

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startxfce4

with this:

Code: Select all

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session mate-session

There's the option to copy the original file to your home and make changes there:

Code: Select all

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

and then

Code: Select all

startx

yeah, what M. Eerie said .. i'll try and simplify the process:
1. extract 003-(lxde or xfce)
2. copy 003-(lxde or xfce)/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and 003-(lxde or xfce)/etc/conf.d to your 003-mate
3. edit 003-mate/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session mate-session
should just autostart to guest (or root or not autostart if you use the cheatcodes: login=root or nologin)

@all:
I think that we never had nemesis systemd. We moved to artix when archlinux became systemd. So the artix version is what we are looking for.

@jack:
artix or archlinux is a rolling distribution. There is no way to work with an old version of one or the other.

brief history: first version brokenman made was with arch systemd, then he made it using manjaro openrc version(which i continued updating), and when that became unavailable, i moved it to artix(openrc)..
arch had moved to systemd some years before nemesis was born..

[Jack]

Right now I don't have any luck with Nemesis. The only one I have luck with is Brokenman version of Lxde 3.5 kernel 4.4.3 I can use it but that about it. I have Slackware modules of Firefox, discord, libreoffice and putty.

Putty is a program that I use to hook up a small computer I built a few years ago. It don't do much but it works. It use Basic programs.

[M. Eerie]

Got it working.

Not yet finisht tho.

Some 117Mb...

After boot, marco window manager was not working. I had to add:

Code: Select all

xcb-util-cursor
xcb-util-renderutil
libxpresent
libwnck3
gtk3-layer-shell

and in terminal:

Code: Select all

marco --replace & disown
mate-panel --replace & disown

Stripped down and modded a bit.

Lacks some mimetypes and some other integration, but it feels snappy (I'm running i5 8th. gen intel CPU).



Available here fore (I think) 30 days and 250 downloads.

I downloaded it and only way it try to run was in Always Fresh and I got a error libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: I think it might need it or it wouldn't open.
