[EN] [Solved] from Giants to Shine on

[micspabo]

Happy New Year, and thanks for all the great and shiny work on shine-on!

Apparently I still don't understand the connection between the change from ‘Giants’ to ‘Shine-on’.

I fully upgraded my Giants system and replaced all giants
  packages with the ones from shine-on.

Now, I no longer have any Giants packages installed.

Code: [Select]

# dpkg -l | grep ii | grep "giants\|shine-on"
  ii   sddm-theme-shine-on        2024.1-6   all   theme for sddm
  ii   shine-on-common-settings   2024.1-2   all   Common settings (installed mode)
  ii   shine-on-grub-theme        2024.1-1   all   grub-theme for shine-on
  ii   shine-on-sddm-settings     2024.1-2   all   SDDM settings (installed mode)
  ii   shine-on-wallpapers        2024.1-5   all   Wallpapers for shine-on
  ii   shine-on-xfce-artwork      2024.1-1   all   Xfce theme for shine-on
  ii   shine-on-xfce-settings     2024.1-2   all   Xfce settings (installed mode)
  ii   shine-on-xsplash           2024.1-1   all   Xfce splash theme for the shine-on

My siduction system is fully updated.

Code: [Select]

# apt update && apt -V full-upgrade --solver 3.0
  All packages are up to date.

After a reboot everything looks well and does shine,- but when I check:

Code: [Select]

# lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:  siduction
  Description:     siduction _Giants_ XFCE, snapshot @
  Release:         n/a
  Codename:        giants

# inxi -S
  System:

      (202309091902)

# cat /etc/os-release
  PRETTY_NAME="siduction _Giants_ XFCE, snapshot @"
  NAME="siduction"
  VERSION_CODENAME=giants

  VARIANT_ID=xfce
  ID=siduction
  ID_LIKE=debian

  SUPPORT_URL="https://forum.siduction.org"
They are all three showing "_Giants_" instead of "Shine on".

Only

Code: [Select]

# cat /etc/default/grub.d/siduction.cfg
  GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm
  GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x900,1920x1080,1280x1024,1280x800,1280x720,1024x768,800x600,text
  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
  GRUB_THEME=/usr/share/grub/themes/shine-on/theme.txt

  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="siduction 2024.1 Shine on ..."
  GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
is giving me the expected answer.

Did I missed one step, or what are lsb_release, inxi and os-release showing to me?

I don't really understand your problem.

Your system is an up-to-date giants with the  shine-on artwork and configs, but it is still a giants installation!

You didn't install new!

So where is the problem?

[micspabo]

@hendrikL: Thanks a lot.

I hadn't realised that lsb_release, inxi and os-release are only showing
the source of the installation and not the current state. 

[micspabo]

If someone wants their .bashrc file to show information about the running sddm-theme,
just put something like the following into it:

Code: [Select]

# dpkg -l | grep ii | grep sddm-theme | awk '{print $2 "  " $3}' | cut -d'-' -f3-
  shine-on  2024.1-6


[edlin]

This shows all installed SDDM themes, but not necessarily the active theme:

Code: [Select]

# dpkg -l | grep ii | grep sddm-theme | awk '{print $2 “ ‘ $3}’ | cut -d'-' -f3-
breeze 4:6.2.5-1
shine-on 2024.1-6However, the active theme is stored here:

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf |grep Current
Current=Ars-SDDM-6If you have your own theme or a theme from the KDE community (in the system settings installable) you will not find what you are looking for with dpkg.

I could not find anything alike using XFCE comming with the ISO from Giant. 

Code: [Select]

# ls /etc/sddm.conf.d/
  ls: cannot access '/etc/sddm.conf.d/': No such file or directory

# cat /etc/sddm.conf
[Autologin]
Session=xfce

[General]
InputMethod=


[hendrikL]

mh, "cat /etc/sddm.conf | grep Current"

Show us the output of "ls /etc/sddm*"

[micspabo]

Code: [Select]

# cat /etc/sddm.conf | grep Current
  <Empty>
You caught me.

Code: [Select]

# ls /etc/sddm*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   49 2024-12-21 22:43 /etc/sddm.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   26 2024-02-24 18:24 /etc/sddm.conf~
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,6K 2025-01-01 15:57 /etc/sddm.conf.dpkg-new

/etc/sddm:
total 8,0K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1,6K 2022-09-01 21:44 wayland-session
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1,7K 2022-09-01 21:44 Xsession
After replacing my old config with the new one,

Code: [Select]

# mv /etc/sddm.conf ~/Documents/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d--%H%M")--etc--sddm.conf
# mv /etc/sddm.conf.dpkg-new /etc/sddm.conf
# rm /etc/sddm.conf~
it looks much better!

Code: [Select]

# cat /etc/sddm.conf | grep Current
# NOTE: Currently ignored if autologin is enabled.
# Current theme name
Current=shine-on
Thanks for all your help. Learned another lesson.
