kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

#

and i will get it/

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

no

#

as you can see

#

its called

#

just teams in the aur

#

so you'd just type in paru teams
or paru -S teams to just install it

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

is it just loading?

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:46 PM

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

kindred schooner is it just loading?

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 4:46 PM

Lol you don't need snaps. Just use the aur. Snaps are bad.

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

heavy burrow Lol you don't need snaps. Just use the aur. Snaps are bad.

its ALMOST LIKE IM TEACHING THEM TO USE THE AUR

#

if you FUCKING SCROLLED UP

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

Just run man paru smh

#

.aw aur helper

iron drumBOT Sep 19, 2022, 4:56 PM

Arch Wiki: AUR helper

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helper

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

thats called information overload

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

Or use yay

#

Way simpler for noobs

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

they are both aur helpers.
they both perform the same functions
paru is more useful than yay

#

doesnt make it good

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Noobs will use nano and yay

#

Chads will use vim or emacs and paru

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

no one cares

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

heavy burrow Or use yay

dang bro, that's crazy

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

heavy burrow Chads will use vim or emacs and paru

that's even crazier

#

anyway

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

simply because
paru is infinitely more useful in this case

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

Paru is too much for a noob tbh

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

instead of just sending them an appimage that will break in the next update

#

im teaching them how to use the aur and paru

#

@heavy burrow why is that empty emoji

#

explain yourself

#

please

#

go ahead

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 5:04 PM

I get that you're a little frustrated here but your language here is a little inflammatory and confrontational

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

thats what i was aiming for

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

mellow sky I get that you're a little frustrated here but your language here is a little in...

doesn't seem very inflammatory to me

mellow sky Sep 19, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

lavish trout thats what i was aiming for

there are nicer ways to say it

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

i would say it nicer
except this fucking person seemingly always has to add their two cents into most if not every support threads

mellow sky Sep 19, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

I think fishie just wants to teach them how to use paru, but is trying to do it in a way where they're not just leaf to 'rtm', which I don't think is a bad thing

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:11 PM

#

mellow sky I think fishie just wants to teach them how to use paru, but is trying to do it ...

this + they started with paru

#

that would be
if the aur had literally nothing in it

mellow sky Sep 19, 2022, 5:11 PM

#

lavish trout i would say it nicer except this fucking person seemingly always has to add the...

it's a big server, there's room for both of you here, but if this needs to be a conversation I can make a ticket for both of you so that we don't detract from helping @kindred schooner

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

okay

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

which it doesnt
also some programs implement a i cant run unless u update me feature which paru solves by updating

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

tbh fishie is very helpful they always help me out

mellow sky Sep 19, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

perhaps fishie and killer might consider avoiding each other for 24 hours and then have a conversation with each other about how you might both be able to collaborate in a more efficient manner in the future together when it comes to both of you existing in a support thread. Arguing in support threads is not the answer.

#

Please don't try and add more fuel to the fire.

#

@kindred schooner part of what you're seeing is a common attitude against snapd, it's an attitude I also hold, and it's one people will be willing to talk about in #tech-general if you want that discussion, but it is absolutely your right to not be interested in such arguments and use snapd anyway.

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

@kindred schooner
if you do paru search_term
i.e paru discord or something
it should show u a list of packages from different repos, as seen by the first section before the /, as seen below
then you write a number, for example 1 to then install the package
usually if the package if not form aur, it just installs it
if its from the aur, it will most likely show u a diff (the aur install script) which you can check for malware and/or spyware
if it does show you a diff you just press q once to exit the diff viewing thing and go ahead with installatino

heavy burrow Sep 19, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

seems weird that we are discussing someone's behaviour in a support ticket.
there are better ways to go about this

mellow sky Sep 19, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

heavy burrow seems weird that we are discussing someone's behaviour in a support ticket. ther...

which is my point exactly, but right as we get to the end of having that short conversation, someone decided to come in and try and add to the disruption

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

lavish trout show output

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

go back to the /etc/paru.conf right

#

and uncomment BottomUp
so it looks like
#AurOnly
BottomUp
#RemoveMake
etc etc

#

that will make it so that

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

sorry wrong screenshot

#

i meant this

#

#

so it's showing aur

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

the results after you enter paru package
will be
3
2
1
instead of
1
2
3
which, the bottom one makes it hard to see

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

do i q? out

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

yea here u can just press q

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

yeah we will get to that one moment

#

do
sudo vim /etc/paru.conf
or replace vim with whatever text editor you use

#

and remove the # before BottomUp

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

#

kk but how it won't let me put my cursor on it

#

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:22 PM

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

lavish trout the number corresponds to the package

ahh

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

so to install package 1, you'd do
1 enter and so on

#

also

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

shld i install them all?

#

do i need all the packages

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

no

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

just 1?

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

just whatever one you want really
id go with the teams on th ecommunity repo

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

so one of these?

#

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

oh mb

#

no

#

thats teamspeak

#

if you look under the package it gives a brief description of what it is

#

go with 1

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

kk

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

so 1 enter
it should take u to see the diff which you can just press q out of
then enter and install it

kindred schooner Sep 19, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

ahhh it worked

#

TYSM!

lavish trout Sep 19, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

npnp

#

for future use
you can always check the aur with paru for something

#

its usually more broad

#

i.e instead of microsoft teams its just teams

#can't install snappd
