okay its there

thank god

but the time seems to be weird

like it updates every 5 seconds

not conitnuosly

[mortal kindle]

oh

[waxen dagger]

is polybar good?

or too difficult

[mortal kindle]

yeah it can be

but i dont wanna walk you through it

if you wanna try it

.aw polybar

[surreal nebula]

Arch Wiki: Polybar

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

[waxen dagger]

is there

any other simple bar?

[mortal kindle]

what problems do you have with it

[waxen dagger]

you can walk me through?

[waxen dagger]

havent tried

tin suggested

[mortal kindle]

no with the bar you have rn

[waxen dagger]

its weird and unpleasing to see

[mortal kindle]

font or colors?

or what

[waxen dagger]

plus the time in the seconds timer is updating every five seconds and not running continuosly

[mortal kindle]

ok let me see

[waxen dagger]

both

let me show you

[mortal kindle]

ok

[waxen dagger]

weird much?

or default-ey

[mortal kindle]

btw to make sound work its systemctl enable --user --now pipewire

and

systemctl enable --user --now pipewire-pulse

cause without that it wont work

[waxen dagger]

why cant i copy paste-

[mortal kindle]

do you like this one

[mortal kindle]

did you accidentally run disable-paste

[waxen dagger]

thats just the workspaces

[waxen dagger]

i did not run anything

[waxen dagger]

i want the ram usage etc.

[warm tinsel]

ctrl+shift+v?

[mortal kindle]

oh yeah

[waxen dagger]

oh

yesss

[mortal kindle]

thats probably why

you have to use ctrl shift c to copy from terminal

and ctrl shift v to paste there

[mortal kindle]

ok but if it looked like that then would you be happy

[waxen dagger]

yes

[mortal kindle]

two separate commands

reread the message

[waxen dagger]

done

how do i control the audio

[warm tinsel]

run volume control

[waxen dagger]

i dont have it

sudo pacman -S volume control?

[warm tinsel]

sudo pacman -S pavucontrol

[waxen dagger]

how do i get it?

[mortal kindle]

hmm

how about we try copying the i3 config of manjaro

[waxen dagger]

uk

i nuked manjaro-

[mortal kindle]

thats fine

[waxen dagger]

tell me something simple and short

like i have to go thats why

something that takes less time

ALSO

do i install spotify by simply doing
sudo pacman -S spotify ?

[mortal kindle]

lemme see

cd desktop-settings/community/i3/skel
cp -rf * ~```

[mortal kindle]

nope

[mortal kindle]

then restart i3

[waxen dagger]

i do not have git

sudo pacman -S git?

[mortal kindle]

yeah

to get spotify

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
makepkg -irs```

[waxen dagger]

[atomic grotto]

[mortal kindle]

oops

[waxen dagger]

cp -rf *

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger hows it going

[waxen dagger]

[mortal kindle]

recursive & forced copying the following files

[waxen dagger]

i do not have sudoers in amarr

[mortal kindle]

@mortal kindle

[mortal kindle]

[waxen dagger]

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger output of cat /etc/sudoers?

[waxen dagger]

long output-

@mortal kindle

[mortal kindle]

yeah

so umm

[waxen dagger]

[mortal kindle]

EDITOR=vim visudo

then type /wheel & press enter

/ is a search command btw

its just ctrl f basically

[waxen dagger]

VISUDO: command not found

[mortal kindle]

edited

then press 0, then x, then save and exit with :x

[waxen dagger]

done

[waxen dagger]

taking manjaros i3 config

[waxen dagger]

[mortal kindle]

the package is probably out of date

also do you really think yay is the solution to this

[warm tinsel]

should work

[waxen dagger]

how do i get yay?

.....

[mortal kindle]

why dont you try it yourself

[mortal kindle]

same commands as above, but type yay instead of spotify

[waxen dagger]

what do you prefer

yay or what

[mortal kindle]

id rather use paru

[waxen dagger]

tell me

[mortal kindle]

yay broke once and it might break again

[mortal kindle]

how to install it? same as yay but yknow, paru instead of yay

cd paru
makepkg -irs```

[waxen dagger]

curl -LO https://filebin.net/0kt80e1k5hwep1vx/spotify-client_1_3a1.1.84.716.gc5f8b819-2_amd64.deb

then try makepkg -irs

@waxen dagger

[waxen dagger]

yea

[mortal kindle]

what the

[waxen dagger]

?

[mortal kindle]

one sec

[waxen dagger]

oki

[twin dock]

I suspect the url is incorrectly typed

[mortal kindle]

oh hey vegancookies

,ti @twin dock

[vestal moon]

This user hasn't set their timezone! Ask them to set it using ,ti --set.

[mortal kindle]

huh

[twin dock]

didn't know that was a thing, but set it now

[mortal kindle]

oh

,ti @twin dock

[vestal moon]

The current time for vegancookies is 11:36 AM (GMT) on Thu, 24/11/2022.
bored amogi is 6 hours behind, at 05:36 AM (CST) on Thu, 24/11/2022.

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger rm PKGBUILD && curl https://paste.rs/Vg5 -o PKGBUILD

[waxen dagger]

one line?

[mortal kindle]

probably, but i just asked him to edit the pkgbuild so it doesnt try to grab that url

yeah

[mortal kindle]

weirdly enough, it still did

[mortal kindle]

then makepkg -irs

[waxen dagger]

one line cmd?

[mortal kindle]

yes

[waxen dagger]

@mortal kindle

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger ls & screenshot

[waxen dagger]

@mortal kindle

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger mv spotify-client_1_3a1.1.84.716.gc5f8b819-2_amd64.deb spotify-client_1%3a1.1.84.716.gc5f8b819-2_amd64.deb

copy and paste it, one line

[waxen dagger]

done

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger makepkg -irs

[waxen dagger]

@mortal kindle

@mortal kindle

[mortal kindle]

yeah one sec

[waxen dagger]

ok

[upbeat juniper]

(this is a known issue, check comments on the AUR's page for Spotify)

[mortal kindle]

oh yeah

wait

yeah idc

@waxen dagger
vim PKGBUILD
g56
enter
dd

quit (:x)

[waxen dagger]

done

[mortal kindle]

makepkg -irs

[waxen dagger]

says syntax error

[mortal kindle]

uh oh

[mortal kindle]

full error?

[waxen dagger]

fixed the syntax thingy

[mortal kindle]

oh?

what happened

[waxen dagger]

nothing happens with g56

[mortal kindle]

weird

[waxen dagger]

there was something written

i pressed dd

then saved and exit

[mortal kindle]

oh yeah thats true

ok um

[waxen dagger]

uhm

[mortal kindle]

curl https://paste.rs/U8t -o PKGBUILD

makepkg -irs

that should do it

[mortal kindle]

AAAAAAAAA

[waxen dagger]

my electricity just went out

laptops gonna shut down

what do i do

[mortal kindle]

idfk

um

@waxen dagger curl https://paste.rs/uqh -o PKGBUILD; makepkg -irs

[waxen dagger]

i'll do it once my laptop charges

[mortal kindle]

ok

did you turn it off

[waxen dagger]

lights went out

[mortal kindle]

oh

[waxen dagger]

@mortal kindle check the 2nd last line too

@mortal kindle

[mortal kindle]

weird

[upbeat juniper]

Again the solution is in the comments

[mortal kindle]

i did that

this is the result

[upbeat juniper]

Oh huh, that should've fixed the pgp key too

[mortal kindle]

@waxen dagger try this

curl https://paste.rs/qyn -o PKGBUILD && makepkg -irs

[waxen dagger]

its frustrating how you are trying so much for this to work but only to fail in less than 20 seconds from the same error

i appreciate the help

[twin dock]

without looking I suspect a bad copy paste of a pgp key

[upbeat juniper]

I think the best thing to do is just wait for the package maintainer to fix it
For now you can use a different package manager for it, flatpak and snap both have a Spotify package which would work

[waxen dagger]

oh

@mortal kindle should we try flatpak?

[upbeat juniper]

Maybe try this?
curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_5E3C45D7B312C643.gpg | gpg --import -

Just manually add the pgp key

[waxen dagger]

imported

then makepkg -irs?

[upbeat juniper]

ig yeah

[waxen dagger]

damn bro

it launched

but it crashed

[upbeat juniper]

welp

Try running it in the terminal, what errors do you get?

[waxen dagger]

NVM

WORKED

GOD BRO

THANK YOU @upbeat juniper

[atomic grotto]

Jodi received a thank you cookie!

[waxen dagger]

@mortal kindle it worked

thank youu

[mortal kindle]

neat

[upbeat juniper]

in the future I'd recommend just using flatpak though, 20 minutes is kinda insane for something that isn't even your job

@mortal kindle thank you but tagged, so you get the cookie you don't actually care about

[atomic grotto]

you just got $\\LaTeX$'d received a thank you cookie!

[mortal kindle]

lol

[waxen dagger]

wait

[upbeat juniper]

No way vegancookies giving out cookies

[waxen dagger]

wait wait

when i launch it from the dmenu

it crashes

[twin dock]

when people get cheated out of them:

[waxen dagger]

and when i launch it from the termnial it works

wha-

[upbeat juniper]

hm
There shouldn't be a difference idk

[upbeat juniper]

Fair fair

Honestly, what if the bot gave a cookie to everyone (other than OP) in the support thread if someone says something like "it works" or if the thread is marked as solved
Since realistically they all helped out

[waxen dagger]

uh any idea?

[twin dock]

then people who trolled support threads would get cookies

[waxen dagger]

because its annoying in a wm

as it occupies space

can i hide the terminal?

[twin dock]

run updates, reboot, maybe a service needs to be restarted?

[waxen dagger]

oh

[upbeat juniper]

Not really no
maybe kill dmenu and run dmenu in a terminal and see if it gives any output when you launch Spotify

[waxen dagger]

how do i kill dmenu?

[upbeat juniper]

killall dmenu

that just sends the close signal so it should be a clean exit, kill is a pretty strong word for it

[waxen dagger]

says no process fonud

but dmenu still runs

[upbeat juniper]

Or wait I'm an idiot
Obviously dmenu only exists while you use it

Don't worry about it then, just start it in a terminal

Thought it was a daemon for whatever reason

[waxen dagger]

but

[mortal kindle]

echo "spotify &> /home/amarr/log" > /usr/bin/spotify-test

is that what the spotify command is

oror is it called something else

[waxen dagger]

from the terminal?

[mortal kindle]

um

whats the command you use to launch spotify

[waxen dagger]

the terminal then occupies space

[waxen dagger]

spotify

[mortal kindle]

yeah do this in terminal

[upbeat juniper]

Are you sure Spotify runs? That shouldn't start if LD throws errors

[waxen dagger]

it does

[upbeat juniper]

Wouldn't you do &2> for stderr

[mortal kindle]

then chmod +x /usr/bin/spotify and try running 'spotify-test' from dmenu

[mortal kindle]

um idk what that does

[waxen dagger]

theres nothing named spotify-test in dmenu

[mortal kindle]

weird, lemme think

[upbeat juniper]

Nevermind I'm dumb
> == Redirect stdout
2> == Redirect stderr
&> == Redirect both

[waxen dagger]

this says permission denied

[mortal kindle]

when you run that command?

[upbeat juniper]

I really think the best way to do it is just run dmenu in a terminal so you get stdout/err that way

[mortal kindle]

yeah thats what i thought

[waxen dagger]

yes

[mortal kindle]

i dont think it does that

[upbeat juniper]

You'd need sudo to write to /usr/bin :p

[mortal kindle]

yeah uh dmenu_run just closes and launches dmenu

[mortal kindle]

not for me

[upbeat juniper]

That's... Odd then

[mortal kindle]

su -c "!!"

[waxen dagger]

no such file or dir

[mortal kindle]

something probably went wrong and changed owners

but idc

its just bins

[mortal kindle]

screenshot?

[upbeat juniper]

Ig if it's not /sbin or /etc your system just doesn't care

[mortal kindle]

oh right

[mortal kindle]

su then run this

then chmod +x /usr/bin/spotify-test

[upbeat juniper]

You mean spotify-test?

[mortal kindle]

ye thx

[atomic grotto]

Jodi received a thank you cookie!

[mortal kindle]

so i own sbin basically

[waxen dagger]

then?

[upbeat juniper]

Huh I thought sbin/init had to be 444

[mortal kindle]

holy shit i own /etc

wtf

[upbeat juniper]

lmfao what

Tf did you do

[upbeat juniper]

Try running spotify-test with dmenu

[waxen dagger]

how with dmenu

when i press mod+d

[upbeat juniper]

and then it'll log stuff to ~/log

[waxen dagger]

and search spotify test

theres nothing there

nvm there is

it crashes

[upbeat juniper]

now cat ~/log and show what it says

[mortal kindle]

i owned basically everything

[upbeat juniper]

Breaking away from the oppressive shackles of the Unix permission system

[mortal kindle]

.s rs

[surreal nebula]

<command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

[mortal kindle]

if you wanna use paste.rs

[mortal kindle]

yeah

or you could just daily drive root

[upbeat juniper]

Best idea

[mortal kindle]

literally owned /mnt and /etc

[upbeat juniper]

Lmfao
"Goodbye"

[mortal kindle]

true

[upbeat juniper]

Yeah idk
It really shouldn't make a difference between dmenu and your terminal

[waxen dagger]

exactly

so it wont run?

let me reboot once

and lets see

[upbeat juniper]

I'd also recommend installing libcurl-gnutls though since LD is complaining about it, it'll probably cause it to crash whenever it tries to use it
Won't solve this issue but it's pretty important

[waxen dagger]

guys

a reboot is all it needed

💀

[upbeat juniper]

Still weird that it didn't work before but glad it works

[waxen dagger]

yes

thank you everyone

do i tag for a cookie?

[mortal kindle]

idfk

[waxen dagger]

lmfao

[mortal kindle]

remember to check this out

[waxen dagger]

okay

does it have the instructions to install java?

[mortal kindle]

wth

[mortal kindle]

thats just sudo pacman -S jre-openjdk

thats all

[upbeat juniper]

pacman -F libcef?

Does manually makepkg -sriing not install dependencies?

[mortal kindle]

do i tell her-?

ehh lets play along

[upbeat juniper]

Where the hell are you 😔

[mortal kindle]

the us

should i exit the chroot

[upbeat juniper]

what are you chrooted into? The package's fakeroot?

[mortal kindle]

a debian install

here

[upbeat juniper]

smh

[mortal kindle]

this is how i got the .deb for amarr to use

[mortal kindle]

im still genuinely confused

i followed the instructions on the site

and it literally claims i dont i have a file it installed

for reference that .so is from the spotify package itself

[upbeat juniper]

Well how does LD know to look in /usr/share/Spotify/whatever

[mortal kindle]

idk i dont use glibc

[upbeat juniper]

or wait
do file $(which Spotify)
It's probably a sysmlink because it's electron

Might be a sysmlink to /usr/share/spotify/Spotify
That's how discord does it

Would make sense then ig

[mortal kindle]

/usr/bin/spotify: symbolic link to ../share/spotify/spotify

/usr/bin/Spotify isnt a thing

and $(which Spotify) just errors

[upbeat juniper]

Oh yeah Spotify was autocorrect

Meant spotify

[mortal kindle]

oh

[waxen dagger]

can anyone help me w dualbooting win 10 and arch?

like rn i have arch installed on the whole disk

?

@mortal kindle

plsplsplspls

i rly need windows

and you can only help me

[mortal kindle]

[waxen dagger]

because no one responds to my queries

[mortal kindle]

[surreal nebula]

Arch Wiki: Dual boot with Windows

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

[mortal kindle]

if you have a specific question you could ask me

[mortal kindle]

no

you cant be booted into a partition that you're resizing

at least not with ext4

[waxen dagger]

so i have to burn it to a usb?

[mortal kindle]

yes

[waxen dagger]

bruh

it says 1 hour to download

leave it

[mortal kindle]

you can also try linux mint iso if you want

it might be faster

i can also upload it to something else and see if thats a faster download

[waxen dagger]

nah leave it

[mortal kindle]

ok

[waxen dagger]

[waxen dagger]

@upbeat juniper

@bright gale

[cyan kayak]

Is your laptop plugged in?

[waxen dagger]

yep

[cyan kayak]

Try unplugging and booting

If it's still on i'd suggest holding the power button first to shut it down

[waxen dagger]

i did

[waxen dagger]

it isnt exactly on the display is off and even the fan the power button light just blinks and so does the battery indicator

[bright gale]

Interesting

Maybe a dead mobo?

[waxen dagger]

ig

dead cmos?

ig i have to get a new laptop

[compact lynx]

what laptop do you have

your screen might of have just died

i heavily doubt its a dead motherboard ngl if its still blinking

[waxen dagger]

Lenovo Thinkpad L412

[compact lynx]

do you get any beeps?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGuCjlMIZFE found this video it could mean your battery died or something i dont really understand the dude but from the looks he just disconnects power to battery or something

[cyan kayak]

How easy is it to disconnect your battery?

If you know how, do it and press your power button for like 10 seconds and do this a few times to dissipate any static charge

[waxen dagger]

nope

[waxen dagger]

i did

atleast 10 times

doesnt want to boot up

just the power button light blinks

[compact lynx]

probably dead laptop then you can take it to a local repair shop they might be able to diagnose the problem but that's your choice

[waxen dagger]

nah

im better off buying a new one

i already spent so much on this laptop

around 5000 Rs.

[bright gale]

mmm

if you're into privacy you could consider getting a refurbished old one

the fsf mentioned a company that seems to do a good job of it
