Tips and Tricks / Re: How to install a VPN on your system

« on: February 25, 2017, 06:26:09 PM »

Hi, I understand this is revamping but this topic's been near the top so I thought it's best to update it this way.

I tried to follow your instructions but got stuck at step number 8, right after the hard part.
I'm sure I copied everything as I should have.
It's just that I don't see the OpenVPN option in Network Manager.
I googled a bit, but most of the solutions involve installing network-manager-openvpn-gnome which I think is not my issue.

Does anyone have any advice?

Hi! I am currently playing around with microWatt R10 and I am determined to stick with it.

I had a few troubles while installing it:
1) I wanted to install it without trying but the installer would crash without notice in the very end.
2) I managed to install it after logging in like guest (after crashing microWatt would log me in like guest by default) and then I ran the installer from /home directory and this time the installation was a success!

I have a question regarding desktops - I noticed that when I logout from i3, a graphical login prompt would appear, and it seemed like a KDE. I am no pro at this, and I am very new with i3 too, but is microwatt running anything from KDE in the background? If yes, is that needed? Can it be "purged" to make the system even lighter?

I was a bit annoyed with this graphical login prompt so I comment it out in xinit and made a tty login with i3 starting right after logging in. Works a lot faster on my Lenovo G500 laptop.
It is actually what I was expecting from microWatt from the start.

I am having this trouble also in Microwatt-R10
When I mute the sound in the i3bar by rightclicking, after unmuting it it stays muted. I had to manually run

Code: [Select]

$ amixer set Master unmutedand

Code: [Select]

$ amixer set Speaker unmuted to actually unmute it (I used amixer to detect it is muted)

I am having trouble unmuting the microphone though...
Is it ok to ask where you configure the i3bar? I couldn't find it in .config...and I would like to disable the volume control by mouse (the click and mouse wheel)
