Refracta no-dbus build (experiment) The subject of running without dbus comes up from time to time in various places. I decided to try it and see how far I could get. I started with a debootstrap install of devuan ascii, pinned dbus to a priority of -1, and proceeded to make the same changes as I do to make Refracta live isos. Normally, the Refracta isos use xfce, but that's not possible without dbus.
I was surprised to see how much did install without dbus. So I thought I'd share it. This build uses openbox, lxpanel, lxterminal and spacefm. Maybe someone will want to use it. Maybe it will inspire someone else to do something better. Feeback is welcome. http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/experimental/refracta9_nodbus_amd64-20180612_0156.iso sha256sum: 633634c3ac2beb06252b29bc78b3135f5f5ded473a72f42e5dc6c17d326d1f17 Login/Password: user/user root/root No display manager.
