[hushed relic]

errors pls

[stable cloud]

shows this

[hushed relic]

meh this is why I asked for wgetpaste, pictures suck

[stable cloud]

how

pictures don't suck

js pls help

[hushed relic]

install wgetpaste, and wgetpaste -c '<emerge command>'

and send the link here

[stable cloud]

bro that won't help for installing Firefox

[hushed relic]

I'm not going to waste my time squinting at your blurry images of half the screen

[stable cloud]

just zoom in

to see the text

I can read it zoomed in

[hushed relic]

If I can see the log properly I can search through it and look

If you want help, arguing is not going to get you far

[stable cloud]

wait I'ma install discord

on Gentoo

to show the log clearly

[hushed relic]

Via wgetpaste, or some other pastebin

-show wgetpaste

[stable holly]

Please use wgetpaste[1] to provide us more information about the error. wgetpaste uploads the output of a command or the contents of a file to a paste service.

emerge --ask app-text/wgetpaste app-text/ansifilter

Build error? Upload build.log (path to file included in error message):
wgetpaste -s pgz -N /path/to/build.log

Need to send emerge --info?
wgetpaste -I or wgetpaste -i -c 'command'

Paste output from a command:
wgetpaste -s pgz -N -c "emerge ..."

[hushed relic]

We have standards

[stable cloud]

well screenshot is also readable

[hushed relic]

It makes things easier for everyone

[hushed relic]

I disagree. It's blurry, it's missing half the screen, half the log is off the top of the screen also

[stable cloud]

i did not screenshot?

the top logs are me trying to install

Firefox

welp I installed gentoo for nothing just to have a unusable system

[hushed relic]

In the time you have spent arguing with me you could have installd wgetpaste and sent the logs

[stable cloud]

I literally installed Firefox before I stalling dwm

installing dwm*

and I type firefox in terminal and it doesn't work

[proper spindle]

"it doesn't work" tells us nothing

post the errors or get out

we can't help you without knowing what the exact errors are

[proper spindle]

😂

[stable cloud]

?

[proper spindle]

take a straight screenshot and maybe I'll agree with you

[stable cloud]

k how do I do that on gentoo

[proper spindle]

sure, it's readable if you want to spend 20 minutes decoding what it says

I don't

sooooo

[stable cloud]

well

[hushed relic]

With wgetpaste we can search the error properly

[stable cloud]

I'll just type the lines in here

[hushed relic]

Lol

Install wgetpaste

[proper spindle]

just use wgetpaste

[stable cloud]

or

[hushed relic]

It takes 2 minutes

[proper spindle]

jesus christ

[stable cloud]

ok

[proper spindle]

it doesn't even take that

[stable cloud]

then what do I do

when I installed wgetpaste

[proper spindle]

read this

[hushed relic]

I have told you, and the bot has told you

[stable cloud]

I only just installed a terminal and the dwm

[hushed relic]

The ability to retain information is important for using gentoo

[stable cloud]

ok I'ma install

wgetpaste

done

how do I show my command

error

[hushed relic]

Here

[hushed relic]

And here

Also send emerge --info please

[stable cloud]

do I type the command

in the '<>'

https://bpa.st/33BA

[hushed relic]

yeah not quite

[stable cloud]

is this it

wait

bruh this server is not helpful

idk what to do

[sour junco]

...

[stable cloud]

I js want firefox on gentoo

im uninstalling wgetpaste

[sour junco]

we're not gonna handhold you through the entire process

[stable cloud]

useless

[sour junco]

ts guy smh

[sour junco]

no it is not

[stable cloud]

I don't use it at all

[sour junco]

its useful when we want logs to debug your issue

[hushed relic]

You made one attempt and gave up

[sour junco]

you're just not using it right

[stable cloud]

well I already did

[stable cloud]

..

[sour junco]

you do wgetpaste -c 'command here'

[stable cloud]

there

[stable cloud]

thats what I did

[hushed relic]

You put your command inside <>

<> are often used to show a placeholder

I was waiting for you to work that out

[stable cloud]

my command Is sudo emerge --ask www-client/firefox-bin

[hushed relic]

Think about it, what does --ask do?

It asks for input

[stable cloud]

my friend that used gentoo

installed Firefox that way

[hushed relic]

So it's probably sat waiting for you to press y. Try with --ask=n

For the wgetpaste, at least

And send us the logs

Without the logs, we cannot help. It is that simple

[stable cloud]

bro it just says it may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages being selected

[hushed relic]

That is not often the right solution

we need to see the logs, and emerge --info

[stable cloud]

I already read the handbook about this problem

it didn't fix

[proper spindle]

logs or it didn't happen

[hushed relic]

In my imagination it works great

Well done everyone

[stable cloud]

what works great

[proper spindle]

logs or it didn't happen

[hushed relic]

Firefox

[stable cloud]

logs

[hushed relic]

Yep. We can't see your screen

[stable cloud]

it has x11 errors

[proper spindle]

logs or it didn't happen

[proper spindle]

logs or it didn't happen

[stable cloud]

like u see the x11 erros

up there

[proper spindle]

no, I don't, because it's a shitty picture

use wgetpaste to upload it

[stable cloud]

maybe ur eyes suck

[hushed relic]

👆

[proper spindle]

maybe ur picture taking skills suck

[stable cloud]

or ur just trolling me to install wgetpaste

well not my problem I broke my galaxy note 7 camera

[proper spindle]

it's literally what the emerge command tells you to do when there's any failure

soooo

logs or it didn't happen

[sour junco]

I think you're trolling atp

[proper spindle]

no you literally just need to take a steady and straight picture

[stable cloud]

like this?

[hushed relic]

Quite the opposite. You are literally trolling support by refusing to post the logs. To the point where I am getting quite annoyed

[proper spindle]

that's.... a little better

[stable cloud]

I turnt on stabilization

but

[sour junco]

could you at least take a portrait picture of the screen

[hushed relic]

You don't think the other 75% of the screen might be important?

[stable cloud]

can I install brave browser easily

?

[proper spindle]

you probably need to enable the X USE flag on cairo

[hushed relic]

And the rest of the logs that have fone off the top of the screen?

[proper spindle]

but just use wgetpaste to upload the whole error, and it'll be a lot easier for us to tell whether this is true or not

[stable cloud]

of full screen

[hushed relic]

nice

This is incredibly dumb

[hushed relic]

👆

30 minutes this thread has been open

I asked for the logs in the first comment

[stable cloud]

I haven't used wgetpaste before

[proper spindle]

-show wgetpaste

[stable holly]

Please use wgetpaste[1] to provide us more information about the error. wgetpaste uploads the output of a command or the contents of a file to a paste service.

[proper spindle]

that tells you how to use it

get to uploading logs

[stable cloud]

but I used it correctly

[hushed relic]

Clearly not

Otherwise we would have a link

[stable cloud]

I sent a link

while ago

[hushed relic]

Did you read said link?

Hmm I wonder what went wrong

[proper spindle]

sudo wgetpaste -s pgz -N -c "emerge --ask www-client/firefox-bin

@stable cloud

[stable cloud]

sorry guys my Gentoo broke

I have to reinstall it again

[hushed relic]

Yeah, trolling

[sour junco]

this isn't arch lil vro

[hushed relic]

Thin ice

[stable cloud]

no it went in grub rescue

just rebooted and grub rescue

[hushed relic]

No need to reinstall for that

Better change the title of your thread

[sour junco]

just chroot in

[stable cloud]

nvm fixed

it was bootloader error

I just had to type boot

I figure it out later I have to go

buy my new thinkpad

what distro should I install on it

[hushed relic]

mint

[stable cloud]

hmm arch

hyprland is slow on mint

[sour junco]

ok

[sour junco]

who is grayh and why were they mentioned 😭

[fluid summit]

dracula is proud

[rain cloud]

Yeah theres enough of it there

[minor veldt]

Lmfao it will be very usefull for persons like you

[elder folio]

Just install Ubuntu

Atp

Windows 11 then

[minor veldt]

[stable cloud]

why that distro sucks so bad

lags

[elder folio]

Maybe it’s the user

[stable cloud]

I already got Gentoo Instead on i3wm

and I have Firefox

I don't need help

[elder folio]

Alright

Next time you do

Use wgetpaste

[stable cloud]

k

why does this server require a phone number

I wonder why

[elder folio]

Me

Long story

[stable cloud]

how

[elder folio]

It’s to prevent alts

[stable cloud]

oh

I'm glad I bought a cheap sim card

service

tbh I just forgot about this forum

and just read the handbook again

[fluid summit]

not you specifically

so the person you're talking to has to keep buying sim cards

i think eventually we're gonna disable sms verification

because you can't really hold down unhinged people

sometimes it's better to let them waste their time asking 50 questions per second and move on with something else

in short, be genuine or i'm gonna go touch grass

idk how we have the patience for people like this honestly

uroSmonk

[stable cloud]

no I lost my old sim card

[sour junco]

how does that even happen

[fluid summit]

doesn't keep them contained for long, too worthless to develop my bot auto role toggle on a person

[rain cloud]

Long story eh?

[elder folio]

Oh hi ivy

[rain cloud]

Hai

[vagrant flare]

this thread makes the eyes hurt

[stable cloud]

my hyprland setup on Gentoo is what I'm trying

now

what should I make it look like

[sour junco]

why are you asking here

[fluid summit]

the awareness is...

needs a whole working on

[tulip wagon]

My god
