when im doing the first pacstrap command like "base linux linux-firmware" <- can i just add nano and iwctl on top of that
ah
anything else i should add?
oh my god i just got called on for english that was so scary
the stuff we are doing is going so slow
we are reading a book
first day they were on page 3 i was on page 20
jesus
thank god i read ahead
that could have been bad
uh oh
error: failed to install packages to new root
iwctl
probably spelled it wrong
oh
whoops
my bad
lol
do i need to wipe the partition and restart...
ah
nice
haha
how should i do the timezone stuff
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
just that? or do i need to change /Region/City to my stuff
do i need to change Region?
ah
got it
thanks
i had that yesterday
just finished english
will dm
hoary nacelle
pretty sure you can figure it out with previous dialogue anyways
but ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
also for /etc/hostname should i just put whatever i want
thats what i was thinking
lol
or some name that i cant say here ๐
HPTrashtop it is
WOOOO
also my wifi could not have chose a worse time to go out
yeah
it does
LOL NOPE
forgot about that
welp
arch install wiki doesnt say anything about grub
ugh
o
yeah
im using that site
we are still doing review of alegbra 1
systems of equations right now
cya
i havent checked my grades
probably not a good idea
ughhhh gnome is taking half a year to install
dont i need it for bspwm
uhhhh
so i finished installing
it booted up properly
but its just a command line
hmmm
welp
oops
can i just uninstall gnome?
or will there be remnants of it left behind
eh i might as well just keep it
as a fallback
it isnt auto starting a gnome session tho
when i boot the laptop it brings me here...
i feel like i should know how to do this by now lol
ah
got it
i have a mouse now
lmao that took too long
sigh
yeah, installing on actual hardware changes a lot
actually, not too much
mostly the network stuff
welp, there goes my lunch break
i didnt have to install any intel drivers
to the best of my knowledge
ill work on that next
gnome terminal isnt opening aaaaa
im wondering if its because laptop is slow or somethings wrong
i thought i configured that
alright
?
is this the setting youre referencing
i coulda sworn i did that
every time i use the search feature in the file explorer it stops responding LMAO
im gonna power down and boot back into the USB
easier to do this
nah, i waited it out
the laptop is just slow
wayland is not good for vms
thats all i know
ah
finally
terminal opened up
iron latch
Ik this probably isn't related to any os, or whatever.. but I'm in a predicament
Me and my bf made some Discord bots, and he was using a service known as "Heroku" to run his 24/7 for free, and they stopped doing that, so now we don't know how we're gonna run his, and my bot(s) without relying on paying for any hosting service(s)
(Me and him use GitHub Repositories for code storage, and stuff btw)
hoary nacelle
you can host a discord bot by yourself using node.js
or electron
once node is installed, use a powershell window to get to the directory where the code is stored, then run node filename.js
iron latch
We use Discord.py as our coding language
we switched from node.js
and what is "electron" never heard of it
hoary nacelle
ok not gonna lie im not sure either i just thought i heard it as something similar to node.js LOL
i wouldnt know how to do python
but you should just be able to download python and run it from command line, no?
should get arch.
also ugghhhhhhhhh i should have installed vim from the start
cant run visudo because it cant find it
ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i manually edited the sudoers file (i know ๐) and now it works
still obnoxious though
iron latch
@cinder mauve I was thinking of somehow getting a PC I'm building soon (after the one I'm building for myself atm) to communicate with the repositories, and execute that code, and stuff
If that's even possible
hoary nacelle
jesus compiling goes so slow on a dual core processor
im just trying to install alacritty :)
:(*
its taken over a half hour so far
ok i give up!
hoary nacelle
arch + bspwm is almost light enough to not have laggy discord
almost
but the celeron doesnt disappoint
hoary nacelle
@cinder mauve cpu and ram are at 100% while installing alacritty ๐

im not loooking forward to paying for windows

the fast one lol
can i use sxhkd to do volume keybinds?
ye i just figured it out
off the top of your head, do you know how to reload the sxhkd config without restarting?
nvm i dont think theres a way
oh well
ok so a perk of the celeron being so slow... i can open a program and then switch the active desktop tab and it opens there instead
LOL
hoary nacelle
๐
hoary nacelle
think im finished for today.
set up:
polybar
picom
pcmanfm
keybinds for chrome, discord, pcmanfm, volume up/down, screenshot
deepin screenshot
nitrogen background
font awesome and integration with polybar
eager haven
anyone know how to increase bootcamp partition
hoary nacelle
thanks
also @cinder mauve would you have any idea why my laptop wont compile alacritty?
no error, it just stalls, and then it gets super laggy (mosue cursor barely moves)
htop?
ah
alright
imma let it just run for awhile and see if it manages to compile even though its super laggy
but then if it takes too long ill try htop
i just did makepkg -si
2gb ddr3 LMAO
aw
yeah
i love it when teachers waste my time ๐
o
good idea
aaaaa im wearing gaming headset on zoom call and i look like a "uhm my home pc is actually a lot faster than the school chromebook ๐ค" kid
oh? mines on 213/214
yeah when i tried yesterday ram and cpu were at 100%
ill just copy it over from my VM
whats that
ohhhhhhh
spotlight search
i got u
ill look into that
demnu should be fine tho
only using this laptop for chrome/discord
i have keybinds for all the programs i have installed
which is 3
lol
looks good from that screenshot
yeah
i would want it if i was using linux full time
but for chrome and discord, dmenu is more than enough lol
i found windows search to be helpful lol
lets me keep my taskbar clean
yeah
i wish i could disable the search feature
like
web search
i never use it
it does that, but i usually end up just opening word and opening the file from "recent" anyways
last gorge
I had the web search disabled at one point but now i forgot how i did it
wide cairn
Just turn it off
hoary nacelle
sure
hoary nacelle
yeah lol
also @cinder mauve you mentioned copying the binary of alacritty over to the laptop so i dont have to compile it on the laptop, right?
tight bluff
Has anybody here ported windows to a mac?
vivid temple
no need to ask in multiple channels @tight bluff
tight bluff
I figured It'd be better if I asked here @vivid temple
vivid temple
fair, please delete the one in the other channel then :) then someone does not use time to answer it there too :)
tight bluff
done @vivid temple
vivid temple
as for the question itself: bootcamp does what you asked. but i doubt that is what you mean?
and thank you :)
tight bluff
I tried using boot camp, and now I have to recover my system
vivid temple
2sec, let me just try and ask someone.
@hoary nacelle was it you that did a bootcamp setup recently?
hoary nacelle
i set up hackintosh, not bootcamp
vivid temple
ah
tight bluff
I can either restart (nothing happens) or I can enter startup settings (nothing changed)
I figured a way to get around this could be a new processor, since I can't do anything on startup
vivid temple
i have close to no experience with doing what you are trying to. so all i can suggest is that you have a look at the official bootcamp documentation and see if you can get lucky with google
sorry:(
tight bluff
ok
vivid temple
but you can hardly be the only one that has encountered what you are.
so google should be able to help
hoary nacelle
uggghhhhhhh
vmware doesnt work when i have hyper v enabled
which i need for windows sandbox
cant copy alacritty until i get that done
๐
i just want alacritty because its so clutter free
i can mount it
but thats all i got
๐
it mounted the efi partition not the rest
lemme try to find that...
ugggghhhhh
i say uggghhhhhh a lot
mortal thunder
so my 1660ti blew up after i put water with ice to cool it off what went wrong
i saw a post saying it works
hoary nacelle
@cinder mauve so just to confirm, on another arch install with alacritty installed, i can just copy over alacritty in the bin folder to this laptops bin folder, correct?
i see all my programs and scripts in here, so thats what im thinking
im getting so sick and tired of gnome terminal lol.
but yeah i found discord, chromium, neofetch, gnome-terminal, lolcat, polybar, picom, etc. in there
this poor laptop lol
it took a full second just to print out neofetch to the terminal LOL
i didnt think a processor could be that slow
hoary nacelle
awesome
now i just gotta find a pc with alacritty 
might install arch on the 2009 desktop i have
ooooooorrr
@dense mirage could you send the alacritty binary ๐
my laptop cant compile it because celeron
or maybe its because 2gb ddr3
either way
its not happening lol
woeful zenith
Got a great source on reduced physical windows keys with the sticker.
dense mirage
@dense mirage could you send the alacritty binary ๐
@hoary nacelle What are you looking to do with alacritty?
It's main thing is that it's GPU accelerated, which would be questionably useful in a PC that can't compile it
hoary nacelle
alacritty is clean and fast lol
plus it has a config file that i already set up
it looks way cleaner
i really only want it for aesthetics lol
gnome-terminal fills the screen with white and its hard to look at hah
haha*
dense mirage
You can change the color of gnome terminal
What architecture am I compiling for?
Also what flags do you need?
hoary nacelle
oh i didnt want to bother you that much
sorry lol
one sec
Intel 64 bit
is that a correct answer to the "what architecture am i compiling for" question (i have no idea)
the processor is an intel celeron n3050
dense mirage
Give me one sec
Time to give these cores a work-out
Hopefully it's small enough for discord.... if not I'll find a quick host
hoary nacelle
thank you
dense mirage
You'll need these dependencies:
pacman -S cmake freetype2 fontconfig pkg-config make libxcb
hoary nacelle
i have those
hoary nacelle
LOL
dense mirage
This is why I got it
hoary nacelle
can you compile for differnt architectures on different architectures?
dense mirage
I was sick and tired of compiling code and such like taking so long
Yup. It's called cross compiliation
dense mirage
No, I'm just compiling on every available core at the same time to speed things up
hoary nacelle
i see
dense mirage
It doesn't actually take that much more resources to cross compile than to compile
dense mirage
Interesting package name
If I really wanted it to go fast, I would offload it to one of the servers
Compile on 512 threads now pls
dense mirage
Ya'll trust me way too much ๐คฃ
dense mirage
This is true
hoary nacelle
i have like 2 programs on this laptop anyways
hoary nacelle
i didnt trust you as much as i do now lol
that was when i didnt know anything about linux right
i tried xterm
i need reading glasses on 50x zoom to read it lol.
brb restarting laptop
dense mirage
ctrl+- to zoom
Not sure why neofetch thinks my DE is KDE
I don't use it anyway, so eh
hoary nacelle
thats why i like alacrity
its nice and clean
easy to read
what i do wrong
๐ญ
dense mirage
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/bin/alacritty
dense mirage
I just did
chmod +x alacritty
@cinder mauve I never got the hang of the letters
hoary nacelle
i used chmod when making sxhkd executable
IT LOOKS SO GOOD
thank you again @dense mirage
dense mirage
LOLCAT!
hoary nacelle
lolcat is necessary for neofetch.
i cant run it without lolcat.
yes.
i would switch to arch if
microsoft word, abobe, most games i play, and VR
arch is waaaaay better than windows for everything except what i just listed
even if i found a word replacement, adobe, VR, and most games are still missing
office online is uhhh slow
unfortunately things just work better on windows for the stuff i do ๐ฆ
wide cairn
hoary nacelle
have people ever gotten office/adobe to run on linux at al?
all*
ive seen some screenshots online, mostly in memes about them running in linux, but i dont know if that was edited or actually running
๐ฆ
ive heard the term DRM thrown around before, what does it mean?
yeah the real term is contradictory
on one hand, stuff like photoshop shouldnt be redistributed or copied, but on the other if people want cracked photoshop theyre gonna get it regardless...
i cant imagine any way to make software un-redistributable
i sure would
i may or may not have pirated some stuff
๐
its depressing
drm isnt going away
so drm just isnt available on linux? or does it defeat the purpose of GNU
sorry for late response i was restarting my pc a couple times
i havent even used wine yet
ill read that webpage in a sec
also
i highly recommend using Ubuntu Mono as the terminal font for alacrity
~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
that file is just for ubuntu mono font
i tried adding background opacity option, but that doesnt seem to be working right now
it doesnt throw an error tho so u can use that if u want
i think this looks just a whole lot better.
also sure
i copied @cinder mauve lmao
averagearchuser uses bspwm, alacritty, ubuntu mono, and picom
at least, thats what averagearchuser used last time i saw his setup
back, was getting some pumpkin pie
looking at that rc.lua file
looks pretty good lol
from what i can understand
so long as something is themed, i like how it looks
only thing i cant stand is g.skill trident z royal.
thats tacky.
besides that, everything else is fine lol
and i know its comparing apples to oranges
(as in awesome vs ram sticks)
but idc g.skill trident z royal trash.
that looks older lol
whats the current version of ubuntu
oh
LOL
thats smart
have you ever tried bspwm with polybar?
oh right
yeah
i have an LT build on the 2009 machine rn
bspwm is awesomewm but even more do it yourself
doubt
i do not know how to program more
*probably
o well then yea i know how to code more
im learning java in school right now
i dont understand classes either tbh
but we also like just started the class a week ago
from my understanding... classes have a collection of methods which can be used by other files in the project folder
hence why java has the Math class
Math.abs(blah); calls to the Math class, then to the .abs method
which then returns the absolute value of whatever you put in
functions
idk why they changed the word lol
in js theyre called functions, in java theyre caled methods
called*
same concept
what processor/ram
is it as bad as the laptop im using rn
oh, that is worse
LOL
and i thought this laptop was bad
oh well u got my laptop beat there
in capacity
mine has 32gb emmc
dunno if thats faster than spinning hard drive
ah
isnt emmc storage basically a glorified sd card tho
also tbh im impressed by this laptop not gona lie. battery life is great, programs take a couple seconds to launch, but thats for a celeron from 5 years ago
F
its on 54% battery right now, ive been using it for the past couple hours
im not sure what this laptop was meant to run tbh
idk what to classify it as
eeehhh
eh
imma give my laptop the discount $150 walmart impulse purchase category
lmao
did you see my message earlier about this laptop being so slow i could open a file and switch active tab with super + # and it would open up on the other tab
and i would STILL have a couple seconds downtime
same but with my desktop
my ssd doesnt show up in bios as a boot option anymore
i can still use it tho
clover bootloader + macos did something to it and im still not sure what
BUT
i can still play beat saber.
i didnt know you had a vive :O
shoulda said :0 because :O looks weird
anyways
i cleared half my room for more space for vr
its empty
mmmm
weston smoke demo?
why
ah
oh my god that looks horrible LOL
oh god
i could always get surf and use office online and pretend its a desktop application ๐ฆ
(since surf has like no indication its a web browser)
i have no idea
aw :(
just not the same :(
that blue line at the top that has the search bar just ruins it
so much wasted space
that thing has more bezel than screen
my stepmom is sitting here with her macbook pro running safari and i can hear her fan running pretty fast... she looks like shes getting burnt where she is resting her wrists on the laptop
meanwhile
im on my arch trashtop, no fans running, running discord, chrome, alacritty, and pcmanfm
im also not geting burnt and i also have an actual keyboard
LOL did it crash after it failed
it looks like it did at least
stepmania
after you failed*
ah
lmfao
also wow using a laptop in bed is way better than using my phone.
having access to a full keyboard is so nice
two things i gotta figure out for this laptop
- bluetooth
- setting screen brightness through keybinds
AAAAAAA WHATD I DO
i did
xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness -5%
i should not be trusted with command line
nvm fixed it
the colors look horrible at any brightness other than 100%...
yeah
i pulled a stupid
meant to put in 0.5 instead of 5%
and not negative
wait, xrandr doesnt change brightness at a hardware levell
thats why it looks screwey
also lol
i should do that
later tho
surprised i got this far without knowledge of linux command line tbh
yeah
my display doesnt work with xbacklight
i usually dont need to change it, but using laptop in bed and surfing the web is destroying my eyes
oh i need root privelages
also yea thats not working
what doesnt change the hardware brightness though
like the backlight of the screen does not get turned down
yeah
ill try that
still doesnt dim the backlight lol
btw, for future reference, how do i uninstall packages from AUR?
lemme take a picture
also this laptops screen sucks
i could change it in windows
theres keys on the keyboard for changing brightness
alright
i use notepadqq and nano lol
vim too complicated
well
not too complicated
im just too lazy
i havent tested that yet
ive installed no drivers so far haha
well, none that ive added
whats yay
holy crap my neck is killing me
this position and posture is NOT healthy.
also should i restart after downloading the intel drivers
lol
alright
also i wanna use surf because i think its less cluttered than chrome
buuuuuut
ive got some configuring to do
im progressively getting more and more neckbeard
wide cairn
Best browser for windows in ur opinion?
hoary nacelle
really? surf uses a lot of CPU?
also i should have gotten this graphics driver ages ago
everything is so much smoother now
also
yeah
that showed up
now i should be able to change backlight
it works!
just gotta add
xbacklight -dec 10
and
xbacklight -inc 10
to my sxhkdrc file for F2 and F3
i used nano to do that instead of notepadqq
i wish i had nitro right now i have just the perfect emoji for that.
(pretend this is an emoji)
yeah that
i need a new background because this one doesnt look good with my polybar.
uh oh
what happened
also god i really need to stop using arch because the more i use it the more i want to use it in replacement of windows
SHOULD I DO IT
SHOULD I MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICES
ideal setup would be the hypervisor virtual machine thing linus had in one of his videos
but
6 core 12 thread processor, 3c/6t to each machine is a large performance hit
same with 1070
o
i almost did that
but
i caught myself
welp
oh
i was gonna say time to blindly type in terminal commands
(ive done that before and im proud to say it did the correct thing)
yeah
i can disable my backlight if i want too
but i have keybinds to turn it back up
sooooo
are you using sxhkd? or does awesome come with a keybind daemon
ah
nice
also this xbacklight command turns the brightness up in between, so instead of jumping straight from 10 to 20 it goes to all the inbetwen integers. pretty cool, although i kind of link the approach where the user does that by themselves
like*
yeah
xbacklight doesnt either
i was like... i dont see why setting backlight would require root
but what do i know lol
laptop is on 15% battery
ive been using it for about 4 hours straight
on full brightness up until right about now
impressed tbh
i always forget stuff like brightness level is just a directory in /sys
its such a foreign concept to noob windows user lol
i know in windows theres some folders you cant name because theyre protected for like printers or something, i forget what though
007 i think?
right
thats it
thats crazy
windows b like "damaged partition pls format"

rocky cedar
I like Noctua one tho
It seems so nice
Found somewhere that said a single controller can power 100 fans
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
vivid temple
that "somewhere" is being very "creative" with numbers :)
rocky cedar
@vivid temple should be good if it's anywhere near 100 fans :p
vivid temple
yes, but thats the wonders of text
rocky cedar
Yea it's a fun number to think about though
How many fans CAN you power with a single sata power plug? :P
vivid temple
i can do a custom wire setup that bypasses the controller for anything BUT the RPM (resistance) value
and then i can power 10000000 fans
basically, there is NOT enough info in that blurb :)
rocky cedar
I'm curious now because of that random blurb
How much current goes through a single sata power cable?
rocky cedar
And that's on 12v right?
rocky cedar
Oh fun I no understand things
vivid temple
the main problem is the Y splitters potentially
but then again, the noctua ones are made from nice cables
so .. yeah
fair. it could work
i would NOT personally do it
but yeah, it could work :)
rocky cedar
Yea I was just really curious from that blurb
Just thinking about that tiny controller powering and controlling 100 fans
Through whatever method
vivid temple
well, the main "problem" for controllers like that normally, is that they DONT supply their own power
this one can
because if you dont supply your own power (sata in this case) the header on the mainboard would be having a "interesting" time

no need for that
just download the iso from microsoft and run it without a key
yes, you will have a watermark
and yes, your background is a nuisance to change. but aside from that. it works just fine

What about buying them online?

cheap as can be = free = download from Microsoft as i said

Kinda donโt want the watermark tho.

Anyone used g2a for keys?
Actually ill try your iso option
And maybe activate windows later

also about backups and why people don't have them: some people are just short sighted

then i gotta find it somewhere on my c drive, copy it to the directory where the file im coding is in, and only then will it work
python wasnt in the path variable, had to add that
and now pyinstaller isnt working because that also is not in the path variable
im gonna scream
and the person im coding this for just found another program to do it so all this is just going to waste anyways
so much wasted effort
and i couldnt find any setinterval library
god i really want to switch to linux
i run python in command prompt and IT BRINGS ME TO THE WINDOWS STORE FOR PYTHON
and every version of python decides to install to some other random directory, i have 4 versions of python installed and it gets way too confusing
LOOK HOW SIMPLE LINUX IS
I CANT EVEN FIND MY INSTALL DIRECTORY
hoary nacelle
problem solved.
and i had the most pathetic solution.
i used windows sandbox, installed python 3.7 in the virtual machine, copied my code over, and ran pyinstaller though windows sandbox to get the executable
ive spent 2 hours on this
because of conflicting versions of python
thanks windows
i appreciate it
cinder mauve
python on linux or mac is easy
but on windows its garbage
the only way to use it on windows without using a lot of steps is to use anaconda
but that means you cant use cmd prompt, you can only use anaconda prompt

Does upgrading from home to pro windows delete files?
last gorge
upgrading by changing product key should just prompt a windows update iirc, shouldnt delete files unless you are reinstalling
dark storm
Iโm downloading from the windows website
last gorge
ye should be fine, it would tell you if it deleting data, but it cant hurt to make a backup of important data in case the upgrade were to fail
also why did you decide to upgrade to pro?
dark storm
My dad job did a giveaway for a pro key
And he won it so I'm just giving it to my friend who needs it

I'm reusing an SSD from a previous computer in the one I just built, and I'm going to be installing Ubuntu. I have Windows rn and after checking file explorer I don't think there's anything I need to keep. Are there any other reasons I shouldn't opt to wipe the SSD upon install of Ubuntu?
last gorge
only thing i could think of is important files or paid software

I currently have windows 10 free version. If I were to buy windows 10 pro or home would I have to reinstall windows?
last gorge
if windows is installed no, just have to enter product key and it should be good, possibly a windows update
winged sandal
Same applies to oem keys yes?
hard walrus

hi. was sent here for tech support. my microsoft word keeps coming up inactive and I was wondering if there's a way to confirm it comes with and/or activate (please)? Thank you.
last gorge
only thing i can think of is check documentation to see if it came with a code or something, tho if it wasnt advertised as coming with word it probably doesnt have a license for it, you could also try contacting the vendor or manufacturer possibly
last lagoon
I thought it did, but can't seem to confirm. If I give you a model number could you help?
hard walrus
@last lagoon Can you open word and there's a red thing that says product inactive?, if so, which Word Year you're using?
Like, word 2013, etc.
If you can't open word at all, sorry I don't know how to fix.

wraith timber
How big a bank note would you be willing to toss in the gutter?
rocky cedar
so say screw you to Microsoft
feral portal
CAD that is
rocky cedar
and keep your monies
wraith timber
The gutter being the uncertain key resellers
rocky cedar
@feral portal you want to throw 100$ down one gutter or 5$ down the other?
your choice >:D
ebay is good
wraith timber
No, you give your money to microsoft, you get a certainly functional key, but you waste 100 dollars
feral portal
so any of the 5$ keys would do?
feral portal
are the keys digital?
rocky cedar
As in they're letters and numbers, yes.
feral portal
wondering if it matters where the seller is from
feral portal
i guess imma wait till i actually start buying the part for the pc
waiting for the prices to drop a bit
feral portal
well i mean someone told me in the build chat to wait for the new ryzen cpu to come out to buy the one i was getting
and im guessing black friday should do for the rest...
except that the case i want is sold out ๐ข
wraith timber
The GPU I want went up 10 or more USD from the time I first discovered it to now
rocky cedar
Wait whenever possible.
wraith timber
Which isn't a bad price increase all things considered, but like
Still a price increase
rocky cedar
WAIT LONGER >:D
wraith timber
Trim it down

Disable unnecessary startup programs, uninstall bloatware, etc.

u can do that with laptops?

mine is a basic asus laptop i bought for like 600$
wraith timber
Some have socketed CPUs, and/or socketed GPUs
But that's not really relevant as it's old news, the laptops that do that are pretty much ancient hardware now
quiet yacht
my problem is that i can't install any nvidia graphics drivers or else my pc freezes

I'm using a socketed CPU laptop right now

Hi, I am trying to install the Windows 10 via USB, however the installation don't detect my SSD disks. If I go to the cmd prompt I can see the disks using the "diskpart" tool - anyone have some idea?

edgy smelt
@vivid temple downloaded the ISO from the MS page, and built it on Linux using a usb sticker creator

edgy smelt
one disk have the Linux, and the other is brand new
I've tried to disconnect the drive with Linux and let only the new disk, but no success

that should be the IO on your board
