rapid sky

iron garden

command grub-customizer not found but can be installed with sudo apt install grub-customizer
i do that yet it still says unable to locate ackage grub-customizer
i will do apt update right now
rapid sky

rapid sky

omg cool neofetch
update mirrors
and that's literally arch
arch inside mint
iron garden

rapid sky
which mirror would you recommend? im not sure which one would contain grub-custo...
closer ones to you
btw I use linux
iron garden
im still getting an error but im just gonna procede
still unable to locate package grub-customizer even after changing to 2 mirrors?
now im a bit scared
rapid sky
now im a bit scared
idk what's going on, but you may have outdated mirrors or something
iron garden
oof ok
in that case should i use curl?
people online are saying that the package failed to build huh
rapid sky
in that case should i use curl?
wdym
iron garden
sorry im getting curl confused with git
sorry rumi this was very cool but im not sure what went wrong
reddit is saying grub-customizer was removed from ubuntu repos recently
rapid sky
reddit is saying grub-customizer was removed from ubuntu repos recently
odd, I got it
iron garden
sadly i cant stream but i will try to troubleshoot
rapid sky
sadly i cant stream but i will try to troubleshoot
because you're just missing it
I'll clean install mint 21.3 tho to troubleshoot as I was using 21.2
iron garden
even more weird, packages.ubuntu.com doesnt have grub-customizer
rapid sky
even more weird, packages.ubuntu.com doesnt have grub-customizer
and you saw me install it from repos, twice
iron garden
yea which is so odd
rapid sky
as I didn't had it installed
perhaps you can get the package from somewhere, like archives
iron garden
oh i found a version! it's just a bit old
however i am a bit iffy as ive never installed an app/program that wasnt apt or flatpak supported
how bad can it be
hey Rumi it turns out that many people aren't recommending me to do it for people who are beginners at linux , and this is cool but i think for now im not smart enough/experienced enough to complete this
rapid sky
hey Rumi it turns out that many people aren't recommending me to do it for peopl...
what's more odd to me is that you don't have the tool on your repos
and you saw me installing themes no sweat
and the system booting normally
iron garden
yea. . . this is also a relatively fresh install (1 month ago)
im not sure what went wrong :(((
rapid sky
yea. . . this is also a relatively fresh install (1 month ago)
so I'll clean install mint 21.3 edge iso on a vm to test
iron garden
kk!
iron garden
:0
rapid sky
already tested with mint 22 and worked
iron garden
hey rumi lots of people have dmed me saying they wouldnt recommend it
rapid sky
??
iron garden
would it be ok if i waited until ricing arch to try it out?
rapid sky
you want to use arch?
iron garden
im still very new to linux yea i will install it hopefully next month as im learning more linux commands and stuff
rapid sky
don't go arch if you can't even edit grub
iron garden
oh :((
rapid sky
i have to get ready for my shift in a few minutes but i can try staying
found it as a deb
once you get the theme installed, you can remove the tool
iron garden
