[knotty lily]

give me a sec

[latent light]

oki

[knotty lily]

try installing base-devel

[latent light]

where

what to run

[knotty lily]

with pacman

[latent light]

sure

[knotty lily]

i don't mean to sound rude, just want to gauge support, are you new to using linux?

[latent light]

on Arch sure

🙏

Ik to use Ubuntu and fedora but arch is new for me tbf

[knotty lily]

btw base-devel is the whole package group, you can also do pacman -S fakeroot

wait there's a rosetta chart for pacman

.aw rosetta

[light kestrel]

Arch Wiki: Pacman rosetta

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

[knotty lily]

look through this

[latent light]

sure

thanks

[knotty lily]

np, hopefully it will make things a bit easier

[latent light]

ye it sure does

[knotty lily]

also, you can search the artix repos here
https://packages.artixlinux.org , it also lets you choose between world galaxy universe etc

[latent light]

I need AUR too?

enabled right

btw from what ik

aur ain't

gonna work

on Linux widout system-d

properly*

[knotty lily]

aur search https://aur.archlinux.org

[knotty lily]

it depends on the packages

[latent light]

🙏

ah

[knotty lily]

not all of them depend on systemd luckily

a lot of high level gui apps like nuclear player or sublime text will run just fine

[latent light]

ah thanks

[latent light]

finally

still error

@knotty lily

[knotty lily]

what's the error?

it seems to just be installing go

[latent light]

failed to build

😿

[knotty lily]

give me a few seconds

[latent light]

oki

[knotty lily]

i can write a short script that installs the dependencies then clones yay and installs it if you want

[latent light]

sure

is tmate safe to give?

if anyone asked

they can just control terminal right?

[knotty lily]

i havent heard of tmate before

[latent light]

ah fair

brb I gotta take meds of fever

seems working?

[knotty lily]

#!/bin/sh
sudo pacman -S --needed git go fakeroot
package = "yay-bin" # you can swap "yay-bin" for "yay" if you're fine with compiling from source
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/$package.git
cd $package
makepkg -sci
if [[$? == 0]]; then
  cd .. && rm -rf $OLDPWD/$package
fi

[latent light]

aye

[knotty lily]

tell me if anything screws up

[latent light]

sure

it's just showing downloading

I did this actually ehe

[knotty lily]

:'D

also, when running makepkg, it can be useful to pass -c or --clean

[latent light]

ah

it just shows downloading

do I wait?

[knotty lily]

yep

[latent light]

sure

@knotty lily

finally :D seems done

[knotty lily]

nice! :')

[latent light]

despite being too tarded I did

thanks for assistance

[knotty lily]

btw. make sure you check your pacman cache sometimes, du -h /var/cache/pacman, sometimes it gets really big, you can clean with pacman -Sc

[latent light]

aye

[knotty lily]

theres also pacman -Scc but that isnt a good idea since it means its very difficult to downgrade packages

[latent light]

xd

artix don't come wid too much bloat right?

Like useless packages

[knotty lily]

nope

[latent light]

ehe thanks

[knotty lily]

its just arch minus systemd xD

and np!

[latent light]

widout system-d

XD

only arch supports my ethernet idk y

[knotty lily]

weird

[latent light]

on others

it never works

..

[light kestrel]

Too few arguments for command addnote!
Usage: .addnote <name> <text>

[latent light]

any else way

for

getting?

discord

@knotty lily

[knotty lily]

via aur is the best way

[latent light]

how

I tried yay

too

[knotty lily]

yay -S betterdiscord-installer-bin for betterdiscord

[latent light]

I need normal discord only

[knotty lily]

or if you want vanilla discord discord_arch_electron

electron*

[latent light]

aye

[knotty lily]

install the packages libdv and nodejs then run npm install electron

[latent light]

ah

[knotty lily]

after that run makepkg -sicd to ignore deps

it should work but let me know if it doesnt

[latent light]

sure

doing nodejs rn

[knotty lily]

or edit the pkgbuild to remove the specific dependencies

[latent light]

aye

@knotty lilyIt gave error

"ayu:[ayu]:~$ makepkg -sicd
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist."

[knotty lily]

remove the directory, clone the repo again then try redoing it

[latent light]

aye

[knotty lily]

[latent light]

[warped ridge]

uh then go to here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_and_upgrading_packages

3rd section

[warped ridge]

no like the entire 3rd section so like read 3.1 3.2 etc

I got a class now so I can't help you now

[latent light]

where

[latent light]

np

u can later dw

I'm studying anyway

beside web dc is ighty too hehe

[warped ridge]

alright I'll be on in like 2 hours

[latent light]

okii

gl for class

[warped ridge]

alright so i have like 25 mins but first run sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel @latent light

[latent light]

aye

[warped ridge]

ok thats good

[latent light]

aye

[warped ridge]

cd to like any folder

[latent light]

which

for eg?

[warped ridge]

so like cd AUR/

doesnt matter

you can make a new

on

e

[latent light]

aye

[warped ridge]

did you cd in to a folder?

if yes run git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/discord-canary.git

then run ls this will just show the files in the folder

[warped ridge]

then cd (whatever the folder is named like discord-canary, discord etc)

[warped ridge]

try just do cd /ayumo

[latent light]

aye

[warped ridge]

wait ayumo/

[latent light]

?

[warped ridge]

cd Ayumo/

try run that

[latent light]

?

[warped ridge]

oh wait

your in it

ok

so

[warped ridge]

run this now

cd discord-canary to be exact

and ls again

[latent light]

this rn?

[warped ridge]

yeah

then ls

there should be a PKGBUILD file

[warped ridge]

no

juts

1 cd

[latent light]

huh

[warped ridge]

you wrote 2 cd

cd ayumo/cd discord-canary lol

do cd discord-canary/

[latent light]

ah

[warped ridge]

it should put you in there either way

[latent light]

done buddy

[warped ridge]

yeah

run ls

PKGBUILD should be there

[latent light]

yea

[warped ridge]

yeah so now if you wanna be fully sure thats the real discord you can run less PKGBUILD this will just show whats inside it basically

its not required though

just to be safe and see if links go to the real discord

[latent light]

this now?

[warped ridge]

but after you do that run makepkg -si

[warped ridge]

not required

but if you wana be safe

you can run it and see if links go to official discord

[warped ridge]

looks ok to me

[latent light]

here we go ehe..

[warped ridge]

oh yeah pretty sure its compiling on 2 threads rn but you can add more later for it to compile faster ig

[latent light]

done xd

thanks

[warped ridge]

you should have canary now

[latent light]

I do

[warped ridge]

nice
