[worthy vine]

how to exit fdisk

[copper hatch]

[worthy vine]

bro

rn

[copper hatch]

[worthy vine]

bro is there any other way to connect to my wifi

[copper hatch]

nope

ethernet would be faster

[worthy vine]

bro so

i need

to use internet

trough my

phone??

forever??

when im using

[copper hatch]

yeah until you get ethernet

[worthy vine]

arch??

networkmanager?

[copper hatch]

thats when we chroot

[worthy vine]

bro u said

we cant do that bit now u say we can

bro

ur confusing me

[copper hatch]

iwd

thats what we use for wifi now

as its integrated in the iso

[worthy vine]

and after that

we can

[copper hatch]

when we chroot yes we will install networkmanager

[worthy vine]

👍

[copper hatch]

+DE nvidia drivers sudo

and sddm

[worthy vine]

this shit always stops

10 bytes now

bro

[copper hatch]

yeah you should probably get ethernet

ethernet will speed it up alot more

[worthy vine]

bro

gimme a lan cable

which is like

7 metres long

[copper hatch]

thats something you have to find

[worthy vine]

bro

..

[silver zephyr]

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

[worthy vine]

impossible

what to do bro

[copper hatch]

move your pc closer to the router and use a short ethernet cable idk

[worthy vine]

the download ends

and beginsYy

…

thats

ye

[copper hatch]

yeah you have to either wait or use ethernet

[worthy vine]

wait?

bro how to wait

the download ends

and begins

because of 0 bytes

sometimes

[copper hatch]

yeah

because its 0bytes

its gonna take weeks bro

[worthy vine]

ik…

@copper hatch

can i stop the update and do it after the school?

[copper hatch]

yeah i think ctrl+c will cancel it

[worthy vine]

yep

cya..

[copper hatch]

cya

[worthy vine]

ill write after school

[grave herald]

Gotcha

[worthy vine]

nv,

nvm

this wont work

i cant move my pc or the router that so it can connect

i need to wait until next month

then my hotspot will beter

[toxic trellis]

how did you even install packages?

[worthy vine]

i didnt

thats why im giving up

but atleast

my windows works..

[toxic trellis]

your windows works without download issues?

sounds like you might have been connected to some mirrors that weren't right for you...

[worthy vine]

im on windows rn

writing here on windows

on my pc

[toxic trellis]

I mean on the computer in question if you're using windows and it has a good internet connection the same should be true of your linux iso, and if it's struggling with mirrors you can update the iso's mirrors

[copper hatch]

windows is a offline install

unless you have internet when you get in OOBE then it tries to do some bullshit with microsoft account and stuff

nevermind i read it wrong

he couldnt connect to wifi on archiso and had to use hotspot

[worthy vine]

@copper hatch aasiyhuab

whoops

lol

i mean we cant download it so gg

[copper hatch]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Offline_installation

dayum

but takes

alot of time..

yeah ig nvm

one question then

@copper hatch

do u have a distro that has the wlan drive already and is good for programming?

[copper hatch]

i mean literally any distro does

[worthy vine]

arch..

[copper hatch]

it does technically

i managed to connect to wifi on my own laptop

while it being wlan0

[worthy vine]

laptop

yk why

laptop

has an inbuilt wlan thing

and my pc doesnt

[copper hatch]

its not built in lol

[worthy vine]

of u can then

it is

on every laptop lol

[copper hatch]

its like a m.2 ssd but a wifi card instead

yeah you need a wifi card for your pc

if you want to connect to wifi

[worthy vine]

so u have something?

ig arch for a new linux is a bit too hard so

do u have an other distro

[copper hatch]

linux mint i guess

[worthy vine]

linux mint

looks

like windows

nah

other

i want something

different

but not that different

and it should accept

apt install

not pacman and this

[copper hatch]

i mean how much does your machine have?

[worthy vine]

bcs apt install cool

[worthy vine]

wdym

[copper hatch]

ram

[worthy vine]

16gb

[copper hatch]

i dint add ram

[worthy vine]

enough

[copper hatch]

oh really?

[worthy vine]

yes

[copper hatch]

well then ig pop_os

its gnome

[worthy vine]

pop os

its like the linux installer?

inbuilt wlan shit

[copper hatch]

probably

i never used pop_os

because i hate gnome

[worthy vine]

what u like then

except arch

[worthy vine]

ras pi 4

[copper hatch]

gnome is a DE

[worthy vine]

german??

[copper hatch]

uhh

fedora?

[worthy vine]

too complicated

[copper hatch]

void linux

[worthy vine]

already used

void linux

??

[copper hatch]

yeah its a pretty good distro

uses xbps

[worthy vine]

u like it?

[copper hatch]

i use it on my laptop so yeah ig

nixOS i guess is another

[worthy vine]

alr good

[copper hatch]

but these have diffrent package managers than apt

[worthy vine]

so

idc

what uses void linux then

[copper hatch]

xbps

[worthy vine]

xbps install

tfuq

[copper hatch]

yeah its pretty good ngl

[worthy vine]

looks like a real programmer

i like that

its

a console

is it the same install process like arch?

[copper hatch]

i mean it has a installer

[worthy vine]

yessir

[copper hatch]

you need to know like basics of installing but not hard to install

it has a documentation

[worthy vine]

ye ik

could u send me the download link

[copper hatch]

that looks like i3-wm or something similar

[worthy vine]

what are u using then

[copper hatch]

https://voidlinux.org/download/

[copper hatch]

i use KDE mostly

[worthy vine]

how do i change that

[copper hatch]

wdym change

like the desktop enviroment itself?

[worthy vine]

whats the standard

i3?

[copper hatch]

like commonly preincluded?

[worthy vine]

yes

[copper hatch]

i guess gnome, xfce and KDE

[worthy vine]

good

what too chose

[copper hatch]

x86_64 because you have a desktop pc

[worthy vine]

[copper hatch]

thats yourchoice

[worthy vine]

idk what that is

i want

urs

[copper hatch]

well you have to install it

[worthy vine]

wdym

i want to install vois

void

as a

dualboot

[copper hatch]

yeah you can do that because its manual partitioning iirc

[worthy vine]

this good

?

100 giga for void

[copper hatch]

KDE looks something like this i changed it a bit but nothing much

[copper hatch]

yeah unpartitioned space is where void linux will go

[worthy vine]

good

has access to

X:?

storage

[copper hatch]

yeah if you install ntfs-3g and just make a simple script that auto mounts the drive

[worthy vine]

wtf.

[copper hatch]

you dont need to make a script

but you would just have to manually mount it

[worthy vine]

first of all what to choose

[copper hatch]

i mean if you want to browse the web while installing live image if you already know basics and know how to login and type 1 command then base i guess

[worthy vine]

what

are u used

[copper hatch]

i used base

its just less mb so my ventoy drive has more storage

[worthy vine]

can u help me with that?

and what exactly of base

[copper hatch]

glibc is the one i did

[worthy vine]

[worthy vine]

disk to partition

[copper hatch]

disk to what

[copper hatch]

select disk to partition

200 gb obviously

!!

xd

ur my boss

[copper hatch]

i guess do cfdisk

[worthy vine]

u need to zoom a vit

bit

idk why

linux swap is there

[copper hatch]

free space and partition it

[worthy vine]

but ye

[copper hatch]

just leave it

[worthy vine]

NOO

I THINK IT CRASHED

i cant

[copper hatch]

just redo it i guess

[worthy vine]

alr ncm

alr nvm.

puuh

primary

or extended

[copper hatch]

primary?

[worthy vine]

?

[copper hatch]

are you on a BIOS system?

[copper hatch]

primary?

[worthy vine]

??

is this a question??

[copper hatch]

no

idk if you have BIOS or UEFI

[worthy vine]

its bios

what todo now

[copper hatch]

uhh

we are limited to 4 partitions

and we need 5 technically because of windows

[worthy vine]

i can

delete

„linux swap“

it was for

[copper hatch]

i dont think thats linux swap

unless you dint delete it when deleting all partitions

[worthy vine]

arch linux

[copper hatch]

look at your disk managemnt

you have a partition

that is 3.7gb

[worthy vine]

yes

[copper hatch]

exact size as on cfdisk that is "linux swap"

[worthy vine]

it was for arch linux

👍

[copper hatch]

if you are sure then sure delete it

[worthy vine]

im pretty sure

shit

i quited

what todo

[copper hatch]

it dint apply changes

[copper hatch]

you have to also write the changes on every disk

[worthy vine]

sheesh

what todo

[copper hatch]

sdb1 prob

[copper hatch]

go back

you messed it up basically

[worthy vine]

what todoo

[copper hatch]

restart the install i guess

ctrl+c

i think cancels it

[worthy vine]

damn yep

here we go again

[copper hatch]

200gb

[worthy vine]

200 gigas again for partition?

[copper hatch]

yes

[worthy vine]

alr

how many mbs we need for the fifth partition?

[copper hatch]

1mb

with type of bios boot

[worthy vine]

lol

how to change type?

i have 2 linux now..

got it

what number is bios boot

[copper hatch]

idk

probably at the top though

its in alphabeic order i think

[copper hatch]

go down i guess

[worthy vine]

@copper hatch

[copper hatch]

Solaris boot might work

[worthy vine]

and now write every disk?

[copper hatch]

write solaris boot and linux

[worthy vine]

did

no i can quit?

[copper hatch]

you chose the write option on both of the partitions?

if so then yeah quit

[worthy vine]

now

install?

[copper hatch]

it dint say choose a partition to install to?

[worthy vine]

go to install?

[copper hatch]

filesystem

first

and format the linux 100gb drive to ext4 and then install

[worthy vine]

like thiis?

[copper hatch]

you still have the 3.7gb swap

[worthy vine]

huh

[copper hatch]

i mean grub should install into your linux drive

[worthy vine]

what filesystem type then

[copper hatch]

theyre all good but lets hope grub detects your linux drive and just installs on to there

[copper hatch]

oh

go back to the filesystems

do your /dev/sdb4

ext4

and mount point just /

[copper hatch]

yes

[worthy vine]

lets hope

it doesnt delete windows

and if it does

gg my account data

never playing games again then

[copper hatch]

wdym

you can just log back in

[worthy vine]

no

my passwords are like

this:

-)-€&!726162FgHk

how tf i could remember tht

[copper hatch]

forgot password

[worthy vine]

oh

UR FUCKING RIGHT

[copper hatch]

i guess

[worthy vine]

so on what disk. do i need to boot?

200gigas

?

[copper hatch]

there should be a option for GRUB

[worthy vine]

a grub disk where i boot?

[copper hatch]

try boot the disk

[worthy vine]

btw

the 200 giga?

[copper hatch]

yea

[worthy vine]

lets pray to allah

[copper hatch]

it will boot to windows or grub

[worthy vine]

uhm.

it

booted

on

windows

[copper hatch]

yeah i guess expected because theres no grub option

you can probably boot into void linux using some live usb that has grub and can detect other efi devices and would probably show void linux

[worthy vine]

brw

in cfdisk

was an option called

„bootloader“

[copper hatch]

yes

thats GRUB

[worthy vine]

yes

it was an option

and we didnt

selected

any of that

bruh

[copper hatch]

wdym dint

you just had to click yes

and it chooses grub

[worthy vine]

u didnt sayd that :(

so

redo or what

[copper hatch]

yeah you can redo it

[worthy vine]

:/

will it work after reboot?

like install

[copper hatch]

what install

void?

you need to install grub and you probably have to redo the entire installation

[worthy vine]

just bcs u forgot and me either :(

wow

hate my life

wait huh

it booted windows

AGAIN

from usb

wait

a sec

huh?

[copper hatch]

you dint boot to usb

[worthy vine]

i fr dis

did

maybe a bug bruh

but now im in void

@copper hatch

ur a pro with fdisk

why not using fdisk instead

[copper hatch]

sure

i managed to install it on a vm pretty fast i think its because we just dint have a 1mb partition

[worthy vine]

lol

wait a sex

i cant

login

to

root

[copper hatch]

you did do root as username and voidlinux as passowrd/

?

did you get muted lol?

(he got muted)

[grave herald]

Why not just copy Ubuntu to a usb and install it? It seems like all these distros he or she is trying are to much.

Or even better check out this book

https://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

You can download it for free

[copper hatch]

im pretty sure he has installed NixOS now and isnt dualbooting but he dint tell me so im not sure

[worthy vine]

wait

u here?

i want arch linux on my laptop now
