Need someone to guide me through

[ebon tide]

The difference between you and me is that I acknowledge that im a fucking dumbass

you dont.

We are NOT on the same level pal

[royal burrow]

correct

i am good enough to not have dumb issues

[royal burrow]

i can learn anything i want

[dire gyro]

if you're still stuck on this, you have a few solutions:

1. try installing manually
2. partition the disk from the USB and get back to fedora and install Arch from there

[royal burrow]

maybe someone who cant fix simple errors should avoid arch

maybe stick to something like ubuntu

[dire gyro]

the errors aren't really that simple

it's just the usb/archinstall/iso acting weird

personally I never know what's the cause

[royal burrow]

never had any issues with arch installs

even manually

[royal burrow]

if its on the internet, i assume it could be fixed

your only cooked when your issue is not on reddit

or quara

[dire gyro]

The error shouldn't happen in the first place though

[royal burrow]

yup

so it could be the usb

probably not the iso

since i reisntalled arch on one of my laptops recently

and it worked perfectly

since the aur is slow, it struggled to download stuff at the normal speeds

[ebon tide]

hmm

[dire gyro]

The AUR is slow?

[ebon tide]

cant restart a damn keyring

[dire gyro]

Are you sure it's not the upstream servers of whatever package you were getting?

[royal burrow]

the aur was also having issues

i was downloading things using yay

[dire gyro]

It was probably because of the recent ddos attacks

Not because AUR is slow

[royal burrow]

yup

[dire gyro]

Because it isn't

[royal burrow]

manjaro

[dire gyro]

No, not manjaro

That was years ago

[royal burrow]

heard it was from them again

either way

the servers were doodoo

[royal burrow]

yk using ai to your advantage would make it so much easier

[dire gyro]

I feel like using AI in this case would make it worse

[royal burrow]

well, what is there to lose

[dire gyro]

A percectly functioning system

[royal burrow]

thats on a different partition?

[dire gyro]

Yup

[royal burrow]

doing something inside arch wouldnt mess up fedora

ask ai how to restart the keyrings

[dire gyro]

Unless the AI tells you to mess up fedora

[royal burrow]

or how to reinstall

[royal burrow]

wouldnt normally do that

[ebon tide]

oh wait

[dire gyro]

You'd be surprised

[ebon tide]

archinstall might be doing its thing

[royal burrow]

gotta play the waiting game

[dire gyro]

Finally

[royal burrow]

it is

downloading all the packages

[ebon tide]

it is

at least its trying its best

not sure if it will go perfectly well

[royal burrow]

tends

to

unless the servers are ridiculously slow

[ebon tide]

it said it had a broken pipe

vroo

its still going tho

[royal burrow]

[ebon tide]

more than 1k message in this fuckass thread

[royal burrow]

thas cray

[royal burrow]

1,072nd message

[ebon tide]

1073st message

um

guys

this might be it

ong

omg

[royal burrow]

congrats on arch

now you have to go through hell to setup hyprland

and customise it till you die

[ebon tide]

yo @royal burrow do you know why i dont have 240hz

and how to fix it

cuz ik i fixed it somehow on fedora

dont remember how tho

nvm i fixed it myself

[royal burrow]

are you plannin on ricing hyprland urself

or you gonna use someones dots

[ebon tide]

i dont know how to use other peoples dota and idk how to rice hyprland myself

i know nothing about hyprland

@royal burrow

[royal burrow]

and you installed hyprland

you got some learning to do

a lot of txt config to do

[ebon tide]

yes give me video to watch

give me config

bro last time i asked a config to chatgpt

and i had a shit ton of errors

[royal burrow]

1 sec

[royal burrow]

dont ask it for configs

they may have apps you dont have

like waybar

best place

https://wiki.hypr.land/Getting-Started/Master-Tutorial/

the wiki

[ebon tide]

does it explain how to install other packages

i mean

opening kitty 100 times is quite fun

[dire gyro]

Wonderful

Oh well I broke it

[dire gyro]

The arch wiki does

And you would know that if you didn't use archinstall

But I also explain it

pacman -S package-name

[royal burrow]

ye

i would HIGHLY recommend downloading yay

or paru

they are lifesavers

[ebon tide]

whats yay

[royal burrow]

aur package installer

i have some assignments to do, be careful with hyprland configs

have fun

[ebon tide]

jolly ahh package

what is it yaying it for

bro

thats why somebody replied to someone with yay

i thought they were jus happy for no reason

[royal burrow]

search what yay is and how it works

[ebon tide]

no

[royal burrow]

Yet Another Yogurt

[ebon tide]

tomorow

[royal burrow]

ok

[ebon tide]

ok

[royal burrow]

but yay is really good

[ebon tide]

great

[royal burrow]

hyprland so clean i had to install komerebi tiling manager

in windows

[dire gyro]

so um the official way of getting packages from the AUR is:

1. cloning the git repository
2. optionally inspecting the PKGBUILD
3. if some of the dependencies are also in the AUR, getting them first using this method
4. building the package using the PKGBUILD using makepkg
5. installing the package with pacman

and yay just automates the process for you

and it's also a pacman wrapper

so you can just do things like yay -Syu some-aur-package some-other-package

and not only it gets the package from the AUR, but it also calls pacman to update the system and get another package

[umbral coral]

You can set that in the .config

[maiden marsh]

Before using yay or paru read the the wiki page for aur

[maiden marsh]

Please also tell why aur can be dangerous too. That guy has no idea what aur is. He might think it's just plug and play.

[maiden marsh]

Inspecting PKGBUILD is not optional

[dire gyro]

it's entirely based on trust if you don't read it

that's your opinion

it's the same as downloading a random app on windows

i don't see many users choosing not to install it because they can't see what's inside

same with regular open source apps

i feel like i shouldn't explain that you can't just download random unverified stuff you don't trust or

[ebon tide]

fixed it by ddownloading drivers

[umbral coral]

D-downloading drivers or downloading drivers?

[ebon tide]

nah like downloading sum graphic drivers

[ebon tide]

okay

@dire gyro

[ebon tide]

how do i clone the git

@dire gyro

i wanna do the aur thingies

[dire gyro]

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-name.git

[ebon tide]

bash: git: command not found

[dire gyro]

install it

[ebon tide]

[albert@ArchBox ~]$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-name.git
Cloning into 'package-name'...

uhh

[dire gyro]

well

a package named package-name most likely does not exist

[ebon tide]

so uhh

i need to put a name

[dire gyro]

I don't know what you want to clone

so yes

[ebon tide]

If I wanna copy someones dot files I need to install the packages they used

right

[dire gyro]

I recommend installing yay-bin

[ebon tide]

sudo pacman -S yay-bin

?

[dire gyro]

this

[ebon tide]

ohhhhhhhh

[dire gyro]

and then cd yay-bin && makepkg -si

[ebon tide]

should i do that command inside hyprland or outside of hyprland or does that not matter

[dire gyro]

it doesn't matter

[ebon tide]

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin

oh fuck

i gotta add git

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git

wow I got yay bin

whats the best place to find dot files

wait what even are dot files

is it like configs

[dire gyro]

github

[dire gyro]

yes

[ebon tide]

@dire gyro so lets say I like this one

https://dotfiles-docs.vercel.app/getting-started/about.html

https://github.com/Matt-FTW/dotfiles?tab=readme-ov-file

how do I get it

[dire gyro]

You follow the instructions

Some dotfiles provide installation scripts

These don't

Which personally I think is a good idea

[ebon tide]

do you know any dotfiles that have instalation scripts

[dire gyro]

I don't know any

[ebon tide]

cuz this one looks good but what the fuck am I supposed to do

hmmm

[dire gyro]

You're supposed to follow the instructions

They are pretty clear

[ebon tide]

where are the intructions

[dire gyro]

You literally sent them

[ebon tide]

Am i blind

[dire gyro]

I think

[dire gyro]

"setup"

[ebon tide]

OH

YOU can click on them

how cool

: There are 2 providers available for cargo:
:: Repository extra
1) rust 2) rustup

uhhhhhhh

should I choose default

[dire gyro]

yes

Just press enter

[ebon tide]

i see

I selected all for sum things

hopefully its the right thing

[dire gyro]

I hope so

ima reinstall arch

[dire gyro]

[dire gyro]

It built without any errors for me so I guess you were missing a dependency which wasn't listed

Like this one

[ebon tide]

okay well

lets try again

@dire gyro
