Hi, This has been "amusing", as I'm retired so the waste of time hasn't cost me much, but this really needs a LOT of work if you expect any but the most dedicated types to stay with it.
This is a fresh install of GoboLinux 016. I tried replacing your comically large terminal program with xterm, because I couldn't figure out which of the 50 command line arguments in the rc.lua invocation of urxvt would change the font size and window size. So I replaced that invocation with: local terminal = "xterm -fg green -bg black" That sort of works, except when running 'vi', the screen doesn't paint correctly. So that experiment failed. Next, I read the wiki, wondering how to install software and do upgrades to existing software. The wiki says, to do upgrades, to run "Manager". zsh: command not found: Manager. blah blah,try InstallPackage Manager OK, I try that. Result: Package for Manager not found. I also tried to install the following: mplayer, audacious, deluge, kicad, xine, OpenSCAD, and audacity. All "not found". One helpful suggestion that popped up was "did I mean Xpdf". I like that program, so I installed it. That, amazingly, worked. But xpdf does not appear in the menu system, and it's not clear how to add it. I looked in rc.lua for a clue; found references to Audacious and MPlayer, which *don't* appear in the menu, but do, apparently, exist in some alternate GoboUniverse. So, I'm done. GoboLinux needs major work if you expect more than a handful of users. Good luck on the project. Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
