[knotty spindle]

[sour sinew]

#1242020317560307722 message

uh wait

please guy review me

i'll chekc mine.

[naive python]

yes

just do ed /etc/portage/make.conf

[sour sinew]

GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"

[naive python]

when in ed

type a

[sour sinew]

I have that

he use nano tho

[naive python]

use ed

[sour sinew]

(who use ed)

[knotty spindle]

i dont really like vim

[visual marsh]

I'm so saving this thread for the next time I install Gentoo

[sour sinew]

(:p)

[naive python]

all my homies

[knotty spindle]

goo

god

good

[naive python]

ed and mg master race

[sour sinew]

anyway

[visual marsh]

micro ftw

xd

[sour sinew]

edit your make.conf

:p

(vim's best tho…)

[naive python]

try mg, its like vi, but emacs. https://github.com/troglobit/mg

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-puke-puke-vomit-kitty-vomit-cat-vomit-gif-10902081098279086080

[naive python]

and its default on openBased

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/ZRNQ

[sour sinew]

grub thingy OwO

good

it's needed

[naive python]

amazing

[sour sinew]

because, if you install grub before settings that

you won't boot.

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

and if you add it after, you have to recompile with that flag grub

[naive python]

dont do but for my install i just do GRUB_PLATFORMS="stuff" emerge grub

[knotty spindle]

i kinda wanted to make some orgaization to my make.conf

[naive python]

like in one command

[sour sinew]

waste of time.

[naive python]

so i dont put it in make.conf

[sour sinew]

because you won't forget then

he'll

[naive python]

its bad practice though

so dont do it

[sour sinew]

he's new, young, and wild.

like a kitty.

[knotty spindle]

and chaotic too :3

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-kitten-lazy-pet-me-gif-7245759

sure buddy, sure

[visual marsh]

catttt

[knotty spindle]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

WHY DID I SAY THAT 💀

[sour sinew]

so

[knotty spindle]

anyway

[sour sinew]

now, what's next step

[knotty spindle]

what now

[sour sinew]

dunno

I'm drunk and half helping.

[knotty spindle]

also ik this is too early to say

but

[naive python]

ok did u emerge grub

[knotty spindle]

thank you so much guys

[sour sinew]

no worries

[knotty spindle]

oh no i forgor

how do

[naive python]

yea do that

[sour sinew]

it's only the beginning of hell to you.

[naive python]

emerge grub

[sour sinew]

raise his glass

[knotty spindle]

so simply just that

[naive python]

yes

[knotty spindle]

i did it

its compiling

it

[naive python]

wait i gtg

[sour sinew]

cpus gonna brrr

[knotty spindle]

oh cya

[sour sinew]

oh shit I have to take it back then.

good luck.

(:

[knotty spindle]

wdym

[sour sinew]

nothing

so

you are installing grub atm, right ?

[knotty spindle]

im scared

[knotty spindle]

yea

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/hahaha-evil-laugh-black-cat-muahaha-salem-gif-17700260337424070511

[knotty spindle]

but im scared im afraid i did something wrong

[sour sinew]

what could be that bad ? Re-doing a step ?

[knotty spindle]

even though all everything was correct

[sour sinew]

Failing, learning, redoing, succeeding.

[visual marsh]

worst case you'll have to reinstall

[knotty spindle]

my laptop fan is being loud a bit

[visual marsh]

but with a fun guide

[sour sinew]

old laptop

think of clean the fans someday

[knotty spindle]

alr

[sour sinew]

but it'll be loud while compiling

[knotty spindle]

how

[knotty spindle]

dont care

[sour sinew]

but, there is workaround to that, that's to be seen later

[foggy nest]

we booting?

[sour sinew]

almost I guess

[knotty spindle]

im installing grub

[foggy nest]

good

[knotty spindle]

or compiling to say the least

[visual marsh]

good good

[sour sinew]

ketchup/ketsup

[knotty spindle]

so is my installation good

[sour sinew]

you just do an extra step regard 99,99% of other users

what the packages team usually do

you do it, for you

[visual marsh]

xd

[knotty spindle]

uh oh

[sour sinew]

once grub will be installed

[knotty spindle]

fans are gettin louder

[sour sinew]

BRRRRRRRRR

[visual marsh]

don't worry

https://tenor.com/view/move-marketmove-mm-love-cool-gif-25255661

[knotty spindle]

oh

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-gif-26065254

[visual marsh]

don't scare him again

[sour sinew]

I've killed computers. Not like that ;).

That's not how you'll kill it.

[knotty spindle]

my cpu is 3.1 GHz

[sour sinew]

Worst case, too hot, it goes down.

[knotty spindle]

is that gud

[sour sinew]

Which is not ideal, but not bad per se

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

it does that to protect the laptop/computer, that's it.

[visual marsh]

I've seen worse

[knotty spindle]

is that good

or nah

[sour sinew]

I compile on a paperweight

[knotty spindle]

the compilation is done

[sour sinew]

one of my laptop take ~40h for firefox :)

(more or less)

while this machine does that in 30m.

[visual marsh]

oh god

[sour sinew]

while my fiancée does it in… 10m.

(bitch)

[knotty spindle]

LMAO

[sour sinew]

(I made her computer…)

[visual marsh]

what cpu does she have

[knotty spindle]

your fiancee uses gentoo?

[sour sinew]

mine but few years more recent.

[visual marsh]

ahh

[sour sinew]

kind of, she's a filthy debian's user as I was that's is sill learning, by force, how Gentoo is great.

actually if her linux works

she don't mind.

[knotty spindle]

my fans are getting quietter

again

[sour sinew]

like at all.

but she does not like to do the IT works. She likes design and html stuff.

[knotty spindle]

also since grub is done

what now

[sour sinew]

boring

let me check.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Bootloader#Rebooting_the_system

but, before

let me think 1 min

[foggy nest]

grub-install --efi-directory=/efi

[knotty spindle]

uh oh

[foggy nest]

or /boot

[sour sinew]

YES

FUCK

Thanks.

[knotty spindle]

which do i choose?

[sour sinew]

someone with a brain in the room.

you use efi

so…

[foggy nest]

lsblk

is it mounted as /boot or /efi

[sour sinew]

listen to the duck.

(please)

[knotty spindle]

/efi

[foggy nest]

then

grub-install --efi-directory=/efi

[sour sinew]

copy/paste us the output then plz

[knotty spindle]

also incase if i forgot how do i check if my bios is efi or not

[foggy nest]

oh

yeah

[sour sinew]

true question since the laptop is 14…

[foggy nest]

that is a thing

[sour sinew]

:)

fixable, worst case

[knotty spindle]

which command?

[sour sinew]

I made the mistake once

«shit»

well, if it was not efi, at some point

it cry

[foggy nest]

one sec

[knotty spindle]

what will it do

[sour sinew]

but at which moment

[visual marsh]

you had a second gen i7 right @knotty spindle

[sour sinew]

sometihng like "uh sir the platforme asked for (efi) is not available"

[knotty spindle]

ye

[foggy nest]

cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size

[visual marsh]

then we pray your laptop has uefi as default xd

[sour sinew]

[knotty spindle]

uh oh

[sour sinew]

I am having fun, I have to admit.

[knotty spindle]

cat: /sys/firmware/efi/: No such file or directory FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[visual marsh]

f*ck it imma jsut install gentoo on my pc too, was originally gonna do arch but this is way too fun

[knotty spindle]

WELP IM DEAD

[foggy nest]

fuc

[visual marsh]

uhhh

[sour sinew]

[visual marsh]

soooooo

[knotty spindle]

🫡

[visual marsh]

back to

[sour sinew]

so well, reboot, rechroot

BUT

[visual marsh]

formatting

[sour sinew]

no ?

why ?

[foggy nest]

one sec

[sour sinew]

it's not needed.

[visual marsh]

bios dont work with efi

right?

[sour sinew]

If you fail this, it's managable to fix it

[foggy nest]

we can go into his bios and see if it's an option

[sour sinew]

IIRC…

[knotty spindle]

im scared

[visual marsh]

true

[sour sinew]

meh it's learning @knotty spindle

it's more fun with blood & sweat.

[knotty spindle]

wait my bios has no secure boot

[sour sinew]

isn't ?

[foggy nest]

good

[knotty spindle]

im gonna cry

wait

its good?

[foggy nest]

it's annoying to set up

[visual marsh]

yay

its the reason i stopped playing certain games (looks at league and valorant)

[knotty spindle]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WAIT

WAIT

WAIT

ls: cannot access '/sys/firmware/efi': No such file or directory

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[visual marsh]

noo

it happens

[sour sinew]

it's fine

[visual marsh]

i literally did the same thing

[sour sinew]

did it a month ago

IIRC

[visual marsh]

on the old pc next to me

[knotty spindle]

IM A DUMMY

[visual marsh]

we too

[knotty spindle]

:(

[visual marsh]

should have asked earlier

[knotty spindle]

:C

;C

[sour sinew]

you go back to boot on BIOS mode, then you remove the efi stuff, replace it by a /boot, then you keep going for the few steps to fix.

true ice

[knotty spindle]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[sour sinew]

I could in first actually

did not.

seppuku

[knotty spindle]

HOW

please

its 8 PM

[sour sinew]

then another day, like tomorrow I guess, would be a better thing.

don't you think ?

[knotty spindle]

im finna cry if this dosent work 💀

[sour sinew]

if it's late

as we as said

it's fixable

[knotty spindle]

i have school tommorow i NEED to do this now

[visual marsh]

how long do you want to stay up @knotty spindle

[sour sinew]

nonetheless, some works is needed, since we did not asked, stuff as to be fixed.

[knotty spindle]

if its done

[sour sinew]

why now ?

You need the laptop for school ?

[visual marsh]

pls no

[sour sinew]

also, I realized

[visual marsh]

that would be hilarious

[sour sinew]

you don't have any other OS…

well.

[sour sinew]

«Uh, mum…»

[visual marsh]

...

[knotty spindle]

this day keeps going worse and worse 🥲

[sour sinew]

answer

[visual marsh]

pls tell me you got a iso for another os

[sour sinew]

doyouneeditfortomorrow

[visual marsh]

or a second usb

[knotty spindle]

i got 4

[visual marsh]

at least

on the usb stick?

[knotty spindle]

but the cruzer blade is the only USB i habe

[knotty spindle]

yuh

[visual marsh]

ahhh

ok

[sour sinew]

I'll shake him like a dead baby I swear

damn adhd

[visual marsh]

so gentoo isnt the only option

[sour sinew]

DO YOU HEED THE LAPTOP FOR TOMORROW

YES OR NO SIR

:)

[knotty spindle]

no

[sour sinew]

then it's fine

[visual marsh]

😌

good

[sour sinew]

we can fix it in time

it's late fere, almost 8pm too

and my alcohol level as how visual impact o my writing.

as you can read.

and I lost 90IQ pretty fast.

[knotty spindle]

but it dosent matter if its 8pm for me too i really need gentoo

[sour sinew]

Only got 120 now

well, let me check something.

[visual marsh]

noo we need to finish this /j how will i follow this as a guide otherwise

[sour sinew]

that might save your bottom.

I made a topic maybe with this problem

or asked on IRC and it's in my log, somewhere

[vernal spindle]

Could of been done if you read the manual

[knotty spindle]

im dead

im so dead

[visual marsh]

why?

[vernal spindle]

Lmao

[sour sinew]

uh, fat luck eh.

[knotty spindle]

i have 2 options
1: do it later
2: give up

[sour sinew]

not on the forum

1. is fine

honnestly

you are just not patient, and not prepared

[knotty spindle]

yes

omg

but i really need gentoo

[sour sinew]

I would have requested you to have a secondary OS, for example.

you know

install mint over the whole thing

yes

[knotty spindle]

im such a dummy

[sour sinew]

erase that shit.

who cares ?

[knotty spindle]

alr

[sour sinew]

and then

[knotty spindle]

so we start over

[sour sinew]

later

we will add gentoo, ASIDE

it's safer

easier.

and gives you a backup os

[knotty spindle]

how

[sour sinew]

also, please, be smart

[vernal spindle]

No idea why they don’t have a secondary os as well to act as a chroot

[sour sinew]

install mint and LEAVE 100GB free !

[knotty spindle]

alr

[sour sinew]

do a GPT disk also PLEASE do GPT disk layout

[knotty spindle]

or 200

[sour sinew]

1/ Format disk and made a GPT disk layout over the whole disk

[foggy nest]

@knotty spindle the main thing is not to fell like you've failed because you haven't. you have tried . that is the main thing

[visual marsh]

bios with gpt huh?

[foggy nest]

mbr bc bios

[sour sinew]

2/ THEn install mint and leave aside

100Gb

oh shit

it could works

it works

[vernal spindle]

Not Gpt uefi ?

[knotty spindle]

so i give mint 100Gb

[sour sinew]

but it would need some stuff for mint, as well…

nah

[visual marsh]

laptop is oldd

[sour sinew]

install a MBR BIOS partition layout

[vernal spindle]

pentium architecture I’m guessing

[knotty spindle]

how

[sour sinew]

and install mint INSIDE an extended partition.

[visual marsh]

mint should jsut pick the right thing

in its installer

[sour sinew]

well

as said by the fish.

[visual marsh]

should

[knotty spindle]

my laptop is an intel core i7 2nd gen

[visual marsh]

actually no we got an i7

[vernal spindle]

God damn? Skylake?

[visual marsh]

.

[knotty spindle]

how

[sour sinew]

when you install mint

in the installer

[visual marsh]

just restart your live iso

[sour sinew]

you'll have question on how to choose the partition schemes

[visual marsh]

and then open the mint isntaller

[knotty spindle]

how

[visual marsh]

when it asks you to format the disk

[visual marsh]

reboot

[sour sinew]

erase everything and install mint, with only root, no swap, no need.

[knotty spindle]

alright

[sour sinew]

if you see it, install the partition inside an extended one too.

It's better.

your disk layout could not have more that 4 partitions

or more, inside a partition, called an extended parititon

https://tenor.com/view/guy-long-hair-mustache-magic-shia-labeouf-gif-17741293

[knotty spindle]

so i reinstall mint and start over

[visual marsh]

basically

[sour sinew]

once you'll be prepared, yeah

[visual marsh]

so you at least have an usable laptop

[sour sinew]

^

that is the more important for now

[vernal spindle]

Have them also get used to CLI in mint

[sour sinew]

and it's better than live usb install.

[knotty spindle]

alright im gonna install mint and then shut down computer

[vernal spindle]

Otherwise as we’ve seen… it’s gonna be a struggle as well.

[sour sinew]

because you have an usable os aside :)

[knotty spindle]

we will install gentoo tommorow

[sour sinew]

taking some resources, yeah, but with all yo need to install it.

sure

My blood will be more pure tomorrow

[visual marsh]

doubt it will use much more than the iso

[sour sinew]

[knotty spindle]

i wish we could try again tommorow and this time make sure everything is correct

[sour sinew]

yes

gentoo is like a lady

No rush.

Take your time.

[knotty spindle]

alright

[sour sinew]

Be smart, and gentle, and Gentoo might said yes

otherwise fuck you :) :D

(she said)

[visual marsh]

can confirm

works on me

[knotty spindle]

alrighty

[visual marsh]

[knotty spindle]

owo

[sour sinew]

I'm also dumb tonight aight

[knotty spindle]

anywya ima install mint rn and then ill set up some stuff

[sour sinew]

do it yeah

[visual marsh]

good luck :)

[foggy nest]

i need a walk now

[visual marsh]

xdd

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-waddle-gif-12573743802001671415

[knotty spindle]

bye everyone (ill be back on mobile

[foggy nest]

been stood down too long

[visual marsh]

especailly cause you can install discord in mint and screenshare your install xd

[sour sinew]

… true.

that's cheating.

[vernal spindle]

Dk why they didn’t start from mint in the very beginning.

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

what about a good ssh connection with screen uh

like a warrior.

[visual marsh]

works too

[vernal spindle]

Technically the major install for stage3 uses the chroot last iirc.

[visual marsh]

thats waht i do normally

[knotty spindle]

im gonna

anyway you remove everything and replace it with mint aight?

[sour sinew]

yeah

[visual marsh]

thats the plan

[sour sinew]

nothing of value here

[knotty spindle]

alright

[sour sinew]

nothing that can be replaced in a finger snap

[foggy nest]

duck cup

[visual marsh]

woah

[sour sinew]

too many data in this photo, let's dox him !

1/ he loves duck

2/ has a laptop

3/ has a controller

4chan could solve that mistery within a day

[knotty spindle]

mint installer crashed 💀

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

[visual marsh]

interesting

[vernal spindle]

[visual marsh]

i guess youll have to install gentoo then

[knotty spindle]

istg if the installer crashes again

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

[visual marsh]

or what else do you have on ur usb

[sour sinew]

retry, or redo an usb stick

[knotty spindle]

3 more isos

[visual marsh]

which

[vernal spindle]

just have them start from stage1

[sour sinew]

it's illegal sir

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

pull over the car please

show me your make.conf, not a backup, original please.

[knotty spindle]

okay the installer works

[visual marsh]

yay

[knotty spindle]

its installing mint

[sour sinew]

«Show me your make.conf and I'll tell you who you are…»

[visual marsh]

VIDEO_CARDS="nivida"

[knotty spindle]

"nividia" 💀

that made me burst laughter

[visual marsh]

amd sadly isnt a choice

[sour sinew]

nivida

[knotty spindle]

im sorry

[sour sinew]

«what's your GPU» «nivida» «oh»

[knotty spindle]

but it's just so funny

my humor is broken

[sour sinew]

and i'm drunk

so do i

[visual marsh]

wish i could use an amd card

[sour sinew]

but I do not need the alcohol.

[visual marsh]

but steamvr says no

[knotty spindle]

alcohol cringe

[sour sinew]

once I runned naked with friends for a bet. In the night, they stole my cloth.

I was not drunk .

[knotty spindle]

😨

[sour sinew]

was ~19

[knotty spindle]

okay now thats just weird

💀

[sour sinew]

something like that, dumb age

[visual marsh]

yup

aaanyways

hows the mint install

going

[knotty spindle]

normal

good

[knotty spindle]

did you get punished

what happened next

[sour sinew]

someone would have to know. so no. but a neightboor stiked a note about that saying next time they call police

[knotty spindle]

oh damn

[visual marsh]

also after you installed gentoo the most important thing is to install something called neofetch (or hyfetch if you want to be fancy) tomorrow :)

[sour sinew]

what's that ?

[knotty spindle]

or fastfetch

[visual marsh]

tru

[knotty spindle]

neofetch discontinued

[visual marsh]

bad

[foggy nest]

Fastfetch

[vernal spindle]

You know the economy is bad when they’ve taken up farming

[visual marsh]

doesnt feel faster tho /j

[knotty spindle]

thank you all for (trying) to help me and guide me to gentoo

i really need to repay yall somehow

[sour sinew]

no, you'll help someone in a while

[foggy nest]

Don't worry about it

I need to get my raspberry pi working to stream my Gentoo install

[visual marsh]

that sounds like a smart idea

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/raspberry-pi-fire-destroy-hardware-gif-15059302

[vernal spindle]

IC pain

[foggy nest]

I need an os to put on it

That isn't Debian based

[sour sinew]

windows works on it

:')

[visual marsh]

arch

:3

[vernal spindle]

Reminds me of when someone blew up a FPGA in the EE lab

[foggy nest]

Nah

Can't be bothered

[visual marsh]

archinstall xd

ez

[foggy nest]

I wonder if there's a fedora image

[visual marsh]

should work

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/

[foggy nest]

Sweet

I'll do it later

[visual marsh]

nice nice

[knotty spindle]

MINT INSTALL IS DONE!!!1!1!1

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-10078660

[visual marsh]

congrats

now sudo apt-get install fastfetch xd

[knotty spindle]

not now

i installrd mint for the plan

[naive python]

r u not installing gentoo

this is not an epic moment

[knotty spindle]

The Plan:

Reinstall tommorow after i come back online cuz school

[knotty spindle]

i will

im installing gentoo

[naive python]

i see

we will go step by step

[knotty spindle]

alr

and if i say "back" in this forum we start

ill say it if i return from school

[foggy nest]

"if I return"

Lmao

[knotty spindle]

what

[foggy nest]

The way you phrased it

It sounded like you may not come back

[knotty spindle]

oh

i may not come back regularly
i might be late
but im comming back dw

[knotty spindle]

back ig

sorry yall i had to take a nap when i returned home

[sour sinew]

Hi

there is no rush

nap are cools

[knotty spindle]

yea i needed some sleep

anyway lets relax before starting the gentoo install

ama go to the bathroom now

[visual marsh]

good luck :)

youĺl do it

[knotty spindle]

anyway i had to wash my face cuz my eyebags were crusty musty dusty rusty af

idk how long i slept but it is 5 PM

[sour sinew]

My recommendation before starting it is:

1/ Define which partition would receive root for Gentoo
2/ Define if you are going UEFI, or BIOS, but it seems that the BIOS path nonetheless. Plus you used the BIOS MBR disk schemes so it's "better" to do it the «old» ways.
3/ What kind of profile you want (so far, amd64, desktop/openrc with plasma profile ?)
4/ Will you use the GRUB of mint, or Gentoo, both are perfectly valid, btw. I would suggest to keep Mint's grub at first, then switch on Gentoo once you think the installation is done, your settings are working and happy with it.
5/ Will you go -bin kernel or not, I heavily suggest to pickup the -bin, less compilation time, if you don't needs anything to manage into the kernel, the -bin is more than fine.
6/ And I forget some stuff.

[knotty spindle]

im using KDE plasma so plasma profile

but mint has grub??

and ill be using -bin kernel

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smacking-other-cat-cat-cat-smack-cat-swat-gif-10347810988835752163

how do you boot, then ?

:)

if you don't have a bootloader, could be another, but I very doubt such case.

[knotty spindle]

ik

ik

[knotty spindle]

Hiss...

[knotty spindle]

burnouts

yall shall we start

@sour sinew

dawg

istg

@sour sinew hop on you sily goober :3

sorry for being annoying

[sour sinew]

sorry, can't right now, I'm chasing a damn bug.

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-pumba-hunting-bugs-gif-8591753

Homeworks tho:

1/ Define which partition would receive root for Gentoo
2/ Define if you are going UEFI, or BIOS, but it seems that the BIOS path nonetheless. Plus you used the BIOS MBR disk schemes so it's "better" to do it the «old» ways.
3/ What kind of profile you want (so far, amd64, desktop/openrc with plasma profile ?)
4/ Will you use the GRUB of mint, or Gentoo, both are perfectly valid, btw. I would suggest to keep Mint's grub at first, then switch on Gentoo once you think the installation is done, your settings are working and happy with it.
5/ Will you go -bin kernel or not, I heavily suggest to pickup the -bin, less compilation time, if you don't needs anything to manage into the kernel, the -bin is more than fine.
6/ And I forget some stuff.```

There is an exam at the end ;)

stuff I might forgot… Er, my brain is slow.

could you return the output of sudo fdisk -l on mint before anything ?

And if you dare post a picture

I'm coming to your place and tells your dad.

[visual marsh]

soooo, now you gotta shrink the last partition so you have space for gentoo

:)

mint should come with a gui for managing disk where you can probably just right click and resize it

[knotty spindle]

am not on the live enviorment for gentooey

[visual marsh]

and?

what's the problem with shrinking the disk in mint xd

way easier

tho you should probably wait on kevin

[knotty spindle]

i have a feeling something bad happens in the mint in the disk

[visual marsh]

why would it

[knotty spindle]

idk

data cporruption or someth

[visual marsh]

no

that's not how all of this works

your HDD doesn't just corrupt itself

unless you were to run some weird commands

that's why I recommend the gui tool

probably called disks

[knotty spindle]

alr

im gonna wait for kevin'

[visual marsh]

cat

[visual marsh]

cats

[knotty spindle]

5 SAUCES LONG.

[visual marsh]

[knotty spindle]

i have 1 cat that follows my along and she lovs me

[visual marsh]

awwww

[knotty spindle]

and shes responsible for 90% of the cat population in my village

she just gives birth outta nowhere

shes silly

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

neuter her god lol

cute tho

so you did not leave space for gentoo uh.

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-slap-kat-slap-slap-cat-cate-gif-7906458944533086715

[visual marsh]

i assume they just did the automatic format , might have been for the best tho

[sour sinew]

you have to start on your mint install stick, and shrinck it to leave, at least for conform, 200Gb for Gentoo, root and home in same partition if you don't mind, could be changed later anyway.

[knotty spindle]

you said i install mint completely and clear all my progress

[knotty spindle]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[sour sinew]

while letting space for gentoo, don't makes me backlog :P

[knotty spindle]

I FUCKING

FORGOT\

[sour sinew]

to avoid that step

which is ok

but useless step :)

[visual marsh]

cant he just shrink in in mint?

[knotty spindle]

MY BRAIN KEEPS SEGFALSING I FUCKING HATE MYSELF

[sour sinew]

no, it's mounted !

[visual marsh]

ah

fuck true

[sour sinew]

;)

it's ok, would take 5m top

with a slight risk of killing mint.

slight.

[visual marsh]

if its ext4

it will go fine

[sour sinew]

hope gparted don't act weird

[knotty spindle]

WUH OH

[knotty spindle]

how to check

[visual marsh]

dont worry

youll see in the live iso

[knotty spindle]

my heart is beating

[sour sinew]

maybe he has sets fat32 (no, but would be funny tho)

[visual marsh]

default "should" be ext4 unless you touched it during the install

[knotty spindle]

afk

[visual marsh]

ill laugh if its btrfs or smth like that

[sour sinew]

… reiserfs

(should not be available tho)

[visual marsh]

lets hope hahaha

[sour sinew]

should be ext4 tho.

no need to worries.

worries

[visual marsh]

yep

[sour sinew]

With znurt, I'm ready for every crazy moves possibles.

crack his fingers

[visual marsh]

lets hope he didnt click the button to encrypt his root during the install :)

that would be funny

[knotty spindle]

regrows

haha

[knotty spindle]

dw i didnt

[sour sinew]

so, you need to boot up on mint install

[knotty spindle]

im on m laptop rn

[sour sinew]

and shrink the partition, since you have already 3

[knotty spindle]

so i basically reinstall mint?

[visual marsh]

...

no

[sour sinew]

you'll create an extended partition, do you hear me ?

1/ Shrink
2/ Create an extended partition

[visual marsh]

you take your 900gb partition and make it into 2 450gb ones

[sour sinew]

and into the extended, gentoo will be allowed to have as many partition as you want.

otherwise, the whole disk is capped to 4.

[knotty spindle]

wait lemme go on mobile

ima go into the mint live enviorment

booting into live environment

[sour sinew]

starts minetest

I can do both… sort of.

[knotty spindle]

uh

dude

[sour sinew]

yes young one

[knotty spindle]

wut do i do

[visual marsh]

press windows key (or equivalent)

search gparted

[knotty spindle]

okay

gpart is open

what now

[sour sinew]

shrink from 200Gb or more the last partition, /

once it's done, do no apply yet.

[knotty spindle]

how

[sour sinew]

/dev/sda3 has to be shrinked, right click on it

resize or something like that.

[sour sinew]

The size minus 2048000

for 200Gb

i'll redo the math since i'm bad t it

[knotty spindle]

free space or new size

[visual marsh]

uhh

[sour sinew]

yeah

409600

as said…

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-math-stick-thinking-meme-gif-8527410

wonder why I had 0 in math all my life

[knotty spindle]

204800 MiB

[sour sinew]

I'm stoopid as a camel

size - (1024×200)

you are in school

you can do it

I don't have school, I can't.

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-hello-hi-ola-aloha-gif-15465565

[knotty spindle]

which do i choose

freespace or newsize

[visual marsh]

newsize

[visual marsh]

newsize if you wanna do maths

xd

[visual marsh]

just enter this

as free space folowing

and hit resize

[visual marsh]

[visual marsh]

.

[sour sinew]

„

good

lol

You can do that too

[visual marsh]

yea

mint doesnt need it anyways

[sour sinew]

it's just a minimum size for extra confort (200)

leave ~50Gb to mint could be fine.

[sour sinew]

ok as this

[knotty spindle]

so i click resize?

[sour sinew]

yup

[knotty spindle]

done

[sour sinew]

then, time to do AN EXTENDED PARTITION

you take all the free space

you made a partition, extended, click, picture

it does not apply anything for now.

[knotty spindle]

the unallocated?

[sour sinew]

Don't click apply yet.

yes

the whole free space.

as said, without it you are stuck to 4 partitions, not great.

old stuff.

before you were born ;D

(not joking tho)

[knotty spindle]

oh

so what do i do

how to partition

[sour sinew]

reading me

back again

[knotty spindle]

i make a partition in the free space?

[sour sinew]

yes, extended

as if you woujld actually make a partition

iirc

but the type would be extended.

[sour sinew]

inside, you can put a lot of partition, without having to care for MBR disk layout capping you to 4.

you'll thanks me later.

[knotty spindle]

soooooo

[visual marsh]

see where it says create as primary partition

click that and select extended

if that is an option

[visual marsh]

uhhhh

interesting

[knotty spindle]

what to do

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/annoyed-fuck-frustrated-gif-15331740

why ?

you are supposed to be allowed FOUR partition

you only have 3

[knotty spindle]

i rightclicked on unallocated and clicked new

[sour sinew]

wait

I?m reading something interesting.

[visual marsh]

i think i know

[sour sinew]

you'll not like it.

[visual marsh]

the mint partition

is probably alredy an extended one

[sour sinew]

«olved for me the problem! It appears that if you have installed a live-iso to an ssd (or usb), this is done without a partition table.»

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/544287/gparted-cannot-create-extended-partition

@visual marsh I hope you right

@knotty spindle before crying

repicture us gparted please ?

with the disk schemes and all of that

the whole window.

otherwise it's good to re-install mint

I love that topic tho.

[sour sinew]

he teach me stuff.

weeeeeeeeeeell…

well well well.

the problem is

somehow

it seems if you don't ask for it, somehow, it does not do a partition table

[visual marsh]

can you right click the mint partition adn see fi there is properties or details

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

fuck mint.

[visual marsh]

true

that too

[sour sinew]

i mean

how this is even possible ?

Literally learning too many stuff here

[knotty spindle]

im just gonna install gentoo completey

[sour sinew]

so, well, not your fault

[visual marsh]

we could try

fdsik

[sour sinew]

more us, I guess.

[visual marsh]

fdisk

maybe

it makes one

[sour sinew]

it needs to be erased, the whole stuff.

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

so no more mint, it has to be re-installed.

[visual marsh]

probably better anyways

[sour sinew]

fat shitty luck.

ARE YOU READY ZNURT

https://tenor.com/view/ray-donovan-showtime-liev-schreiber-bring-it-on-baseball-bat-gif-5701373

[visual marsh]

soooooo mint forum says

[knotty spindle]

for wha

[visual marsh]

it makes and extended one

[sour sinew]

uh

uh uh

really ?

less fuck mint then.

[visual marsh]

thats what one article from 2021 says

[sour sinew]

well… let's… try to create two partition, THEN.

[visual marsh]

but yk

how those are

[sour sinew]

@knotty spindle create two dumb partition, size don't matter, primary

in the empty space

and apply

if it works, well, good move from mint

[knotty spindle]

do they have to be extendef

[sour sinew]

if they did let an extended be created around all partition, it's good

even better than my way: Adding one

since the whole shit is already in the extended, we will test.

[visual marsh]

should be

we will see

if it actually is lol

[sour sinew]

[visual marsh]

xdd

and im doing maths homework

[sour sinew]

ahah, sorry for you, but so happy to be 32.

[knotty spindle]

me trying to install gnetoo be like:

all we are doing is wasting TIME

UHHH

[sour sinew]

no, checking.

before anything.

so…

could you create two dumb wedontcarepartition in this space ?

and apply ?

Or are you a scarry kitty

uh ?

[knotty spindle]

still cannt make extended partition

[sour sinew]

primary

you can't make an extended in another one.

would break physics law and segfault god process

it happened once, what a mess.

[knotty spindle]

so do i just

make 2 partitions share the freespave

[sour sinew]

create two partition, in gparted, yeah

to test.

if it works when «apply»

then, it's already in it

doing it the dumb way

[visual marsh]

now we have 5

lol

[sour sinew]

yep

click apply

if it works

it's good

otherwise, well.

[visual marsh]

doubt

[sour sinew]

the computer will be damned for eternity.

[knotty spindle]

im scared

[sour sinew]

(no)

don't be

apply

or I slap you

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-slap-kat-slap-slap-cat-cate-gif-7906458944533086715

[knotty spindle]

UH

its shrinking

he`s too young xd

for that one

[sour sinew]

saw before his age full metal jacket

I'm fine

ok

erase these two shitty stuff.

[knotty spindle]

what now

uhhhh

[sour sinew]

and leave it empty, you'll do it as a man

with fdisk

[visual marsh]

waht about

cfdisk

[sour sinew]

sure, if you help him

I'm not use to cfdisk

prefere fdisk

[visual marsh]

works too

[knotty spindle]

you mean sda4 and sda5?

[visual marsh]

i think its easier tho

[sour sinew]

any manly way is fine.

[visual marsh]

yes

[sour sinew]

yes

these were for testing easily

[knotty spindle]

so i delete?

bow

[sour sinew]

and being sure it's extended, if there is more than four, could not be.

[knotty spindle]

now

[sour sinew]

yes

[knotty spindle]

?

[sour sinew]

and apply then.

leave the space empty

as my soul.

https://tenor.com/view/window-cat-fog-black-white-gif-11045836062748583257
