Someone pointed this out not long ago… https://gitlab.com/william.belanger/obsuite
It seems like a nice replacement instead of stealing indicators from other desktops… Unfortunately it doesn’t work…lol And the dev doesn’t seem to look at bug reports very often.
I don’t know any python…but I’m putting out a call for anyone in the community who knows it to help this guy get the tool working. Or fork it and make it an archlabs thing. I think it would be a
great addition Archlabs.
Yes, looking at some of the code, if you try to run without admin privileges, it cannot access certain areas of the Linux kernel and so to protect the system, it would just lock out the calls from obsuite.
@xsme You’re absolutely right, if anything real AUR helpers like yay, trizen, etc. will provide more options and better handling of edge cases than baph.
My implementation is not so much poorly written as it is constrained, most helpers require additional dependencies and have much larger codebases.
At the end of the day they all do essentially the same thing
grab some data in the form of a VCS repository or compressed archive
Hi there, I am the developper of ObSuite. Sorry for the late response! Now that I am aware of this, I updated the notification settings of my Gitlab account
All the opened issues were fixed two weeks ago. Should work fine now. If you still get a “Failed to start” error at launch, it mean that you should either deactivate an useless module, or do some manual tweaking for your particular hardware. So in both case; “obsuite --preferences”. Also, I can confirm that the program is meant to be run as an user.
I love Openbox, and I like the look of your distro. I would be enthousiast to join Archlabs’s repository if that is something you would like
