[lyric pollen]

Mount point doesn't exist.

[pallid marsh]

$mount --mkdir /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

i forgot

[lyric pollen]

I accidentally made an extra boot folder.

[pallid marsh]

well eat that folder

[lyric pollen]

How?

[pallid marsh]

can you do $ls and tell me the output

[pallid marsh]

where is it located in?

[lyric pollen]

Under sda1 I think

[pallid marsh]

you mounted sda1 on /mnt/boot right?

[lyric pollen]

Yeah.

[pallid marsh]

is it inside /mnt/boot folder then?

do $ls and screenshot the output

[pallid marsh]

$umount /dev/sda1

[pallid marsh]

hello?

[blazing vault]

he died from skill issue

r.i.p
(rest in pee)

[pallid marsh]

bruh

thats certainly not the most pleasant thing to hear

hmm what if his electricity died?

i think he would have to remake those partitions using mk

them probably corrupted

[blazing vault]

can they be mounted?

[pallid marsh]

idk i am not sure

also what is there to corrupt in those

[blazing vault]

how does a parition get currupted

[pallid marsh]

maybe some partition info?

[blazing vault]

he just made those

[lyric pollen]

I'm still here.

[pallid marsh]

well those data about the partition type

[lyric pollen]

Phone calls.

[blazing vault]

superblock?
if it had issues, wouldnt mount

[lyric pollen]

Anyway, the dual boot folders got fixed.

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

what

[lyric pollen]

The extra boot folder

is now no more.

Now what do I do?

[pallid marsh]

ok

$reflector --connection-timeout 5 --download-timeout 10 --sort score --latest 20 > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

use reflector for now

use some other shit after you install arch properly

then do $cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to check if that file is ok

it is the only file that will be copied to your installation

[lyric pollen]

It is, it seems.

It's showing the servers.

[pallid marsh]

ok then move on to

$pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware pacman

if you want other kernel you can append those

or replace linux

but i recommend having linux too as a backup

[lyric pollen]

Okay.

Btw, I won't be able to finish, might have to continue tomorrow.

They're already pressuring me to sleep.

[pallid marsh]

well that wont be hard but do some step beforehand

after pacstrap do

[lyric pollen]

Such as?

[pallid marsh]

$genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

then if you wanna go sleep

$umount /dev/sda1

umount /dev/sda2

umount /dev/sda3

i think sda2 isnt mounted

or is it

then $poweroff

later tommorow you can do

[lyric pollen]

Then?

[pallid marsh]

you wanna do the next steps or sleep?

[lyric pollen]

I'll continue tomorrow then.

[pallid marsh]

$mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
$swapon/dev/sda2
$mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
$arch-chroot /mnt

that starts for tommorow if you cant find me

[lyric pollen]

Btw will the progress be saved?

Okay.

Anyway, thanks.

You were big help m8.

[pallid marsh]

yeah

thanks for thanking me

[lyric pollen]

Thanks for thanking for thanking you.
Anyway, I'm off

[pallid marsh]

this mf butchered hyprland https://youtu.be/uZDPXFQYz0Q

mac fanboy warning

[lyric pollen]

@pallid marsh m8 you there?

[pallid marsh]

yeah

[pallid marsh]

i am here now

i might disappear

[lyric pollen]

I mounted the stuff.

And entered archiso mode.

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

hmmm wait

imma turn on my laptop

[lyric pollen]

M8?

[pallid marsh]

pacman -S --needed intel-ucode networkmanager iwd micro neovim vim man-db man-pages texinfo tldr grub hyprland kitty noto-fonts noto-fonts-emoji noto-fonts-extra base-devel git yt-dlp wayland

for now i had these appear in my mind

oh also a browser

firefox maybe

append your needs at the end

[lyric pollen]

What about the date and localization?

[pallid marsh]

you can do that later

after installing stuff

its really easy now

the hardest part will come after installation

[pallid marsh]

do you wanna use plasma or gnome or keep both?

or other other de?

[lyric pollen]

Can I use the surface level stuff like before?

[pallid marsh]

wdym

[lyric pollen]

When I used Fedora with Hyprland?

How good is cosmic?

[pallid marsh]

its an alpha software

you can test it later

its not to be used as your main de

[lyric pollen]

Oh.
So, what others are good?
Aside from gnome and kde?

[pallid marsh]

xfce mate trinity cinnamon are some others

that are popular

trinity is a fork of kde

cinnamon is a fork of gnome 3

[lyric pollen]

So, how good is kde?

[pallid marsh]

mate is a fork of gnome 2

you can install it and then try

[lyric pollen]

And shouldn't I install grub?

[pallid marsh]

yeah not rn

[lyric pollen]

Okay kde it is then.

Also, how do I install firefox?

[pallid marsh]

you can keep both btw

for kde

you do

plasma-meta

[pallid marsh]

pacman -S firefox

pacman -S for installing

pacman -Q for searching your local packages

pacman -Ss for searching online packages

pacman -uyS or -Syu for updating system

[lyric pollen]

It asks to input the provider for jack.

[pallid marsh]

i think it gives options

which ones does it

[lyric pollen]

Jack2 and pipewire-jack

[pallid marsh]

pipewire

oh also install pipewire

pipewire-alsa

pipewite-pulse

btw

never do pacman -Sy

[lyric pollen]

Why?

[pallid marsh]

arch doesnt officially support partial upgrades

it uodates your repos but doesnt update any software

it will cause breakages

so if you use any guide where it says to

then avoid it

[lyric pollen]

Okay.

So, do I install kde now?

And also, how do I install sddm?

So, uh.... Ffmpeg or gstreamer for the qt6-multi-media backend?

[pallid marsh]

ffmpeg guess

[lyric pollen]

Okay.

And the command for the sddm?

[pallid marsh]

you wanna use sddm or gdm or lightdm?

pacman -S sddm

[lyric pollen]

Does any of them do anything different?

[pallid marsh]

they look different

thats the biggest difference

okay after these packages you are gonna do some other step

then boot into arch linux

and then setup some other things

[lyric pollen]

What's the other step?

[pallid marsh]

$ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime

replace region and city

use Tab for suggestions

[lyric pollen]

How do I check if it worked?

[pallid marsh]

idk i never had to

[lyric pollen]

Okay then.

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

you can $ls /etc/localtime/

$hwclock --systohc

[lyric pollen]

They returned no output.

[pallid marsh]

now do you wanna use micro or neovim

[pallid marsh]

eh ok

[lyric pollen]

Neovim, I guess?

[pallid marsh]

nvim /etc/locale.gen

remove the # from the local you wanna use

[lyric pollen]

Done.

How do I save?

[pallid marsh]

:wq

:w saves

:q quits

nvim /etc/locale.conf

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

or whatever you used

[lyric pollen]

wq isn't working.

[pallid marsh]

:

colon

wq

oh press Escape to quit insert mode

[lyric pollen]

How do I save locale.conf?

[pallid marsh]

:wq

[lyric pollen]

Done.Now what?

[pallid marsh]

$hostnamectl hostname yourhostname

[lyric pollen]

It's showing me this.

[pallid marsh]

bruh ok

nvim /etc/hostname

then put your hostname

[lyric pollen]

Just need to write the hostname, right?

[pallid marsh]

yeah one line

[lyric pollen]

Hostname
then quit.

Okay.

Done.

[pallid marsh]

passwd

set root pass

[lyric pollen]

Done.

[pallid marsh]

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB

i think it will be on /boot

since you are already chrooted

[lyric pollen]

It failed to get canonical path of /mnt/boot

[pallid marsh]

remove /mnt

[lyric pollen]

Eifbootmgr:not found.

[pallid marsh]

shit i forgot

pacman -S grub efibootmgr

then type

efibootmgr

it should output something

[lyric pollen]

It did.

[pallid marsh]

do grub-install again

it should work unless i am stupid

[lyric pollen]

Installation finished.

[pallid marsh]

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[lyric pollen]

Done.

[pallid marsh]

ok i think thats about it and now you can continue the other part from arch installation

[lyric pollen]

That is?

[pallid marsh]

do CTRL+D

[lyric pollen]

Then?

[pallid marsh]

$umount -R /mnt

then reboot and boot to your ssd

i believe it should work

[lyric pollen]

Aight.
Here goes nothing.

[pallid marsh]

time to explode your pc

1

2

[lyric pollen]

Wait, why is there a seperate grub in boot menu?

[pallid marsh]

3

yeah select GRUB

you might have to delete the weird ones later

the ones that are ded

[lyric pollen]

Ssd had only grub on it.

But I'm in grub rn.

[pallid marsh]

which grub?

arch grub?

or some corrupted grub?

[lyric pollen]

The standalone one in boot menu.

[pallid marsh]

does it have arch linux?

on the options

[lyric pollen]

Ssd one is probably corrupted.

[pallid marsh]

yeah i think i might need screenshot of all the options

[pallid marsh]

try selecting grub

GRUB

i should have named it something else

instead of grub

[lyric pollen]

Shows the first pic.

[pallid marsh]

welp bruh

reboot to usb

mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

swapon /dev/sda2

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

[blazing vault]

What the hell is bro doing

[pallid marsh]

installing assloader

[blazing vault]

Why is so many ss for diagnosis

[pallid marsh]

also known as grub

[blazing vault]

It just takes 2 commands

Man...

[pallid marsh]

yeah

and it didnt work

[pallid marsh]

$mkinitcpio -P

try this now

i am not sure why it didnt work

[lyric pollen]

Says kernel image doesn't exist.

[pallid marsh]

bruhhhh

pacman -S linux linux-firmware

[lyric pollen]

Skill issue on my part.

[pallid marsh]

what does it say

[lyric pollen]

Says target not found.

[pallid marsh]

ping archlinux.org

[lyric pollen]

Ping is working

Also how do i stop the ping?

Again?

[pallid marsh]

CTRL+C

ok why is linux not found 💀

pacman -S linux-zen

[lyric pollen]

Target not found.

[pallid marsh]

are you chrooted?

[lyric pollen]

Database and core files don't exist.

In archiso mode yes.

[pallid marsh]

type lsblk and show me the output

[lyric pollen]

Wait no in root actually.

[pallid marsh]

bruhhh

mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

swapon /dev/sda2

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

arch-chroot /mnt

[pallid marsh]

ok arch-chroot /mnt

then type

mkinitcpio -P

[lyric pollen]

Command not found.

[pallid marsh]

uhh

pacman -S linux linux-firmware

[lyric pollen]

Mkinit or booster for core?

[pallid marsh]

what

[lyric pollen]

Repository cores.

I picked mkinicpio.

[pallid marsh]

yeah good

so you are telling me linux wasnt installed?

what happened then?

[lyric pollen]

We'll have to continue later.

Ar night maybe.

Linux is installed.

Mkinicpio worked.

[pallid marsh]

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

then it should work

[pallid marsh]

how did bro forgot to install linux in GNU/Linux

[vagrant crag]

GM

[pallid marsh]

Git Gud

[woven crag]

GM

[pallid marsh]

Git Gud

[fallen raptor]

Gm

[pallid marsh]

hi

[fallen raptor]

hi

I'm ur special that's why u pinged me ik

Don't need to praise me

I'm that good

[pallid marsh]

real

well you are better than those 2 people

they just GM and forgot this thread exists

[lyric pollen]

Then
There are people like me who annoy the entire forum with their problems.

[pallid marsh]

then there is lifeless me who only yaps and has a fully messed up life

[lyric pollen]

At least you know your stuff.

[pallid marsh]

what do i even know

look at catfish

he is a successful man

he knows programming

i have skill issues

discipline issues

addiction issues

[lyric pollen]

Literally me.

[pallid marsh]

nah

[lyric pollen]

Yep.

We have the same problems.

[pallid marsh]

except i cant fix them

[lyric pollen]

Same.

[pallid marsh]

yo have you installed arch?

[lyric pollen]

I'll dive tomorrow.

[lyric pollen]

Btw, what are the final steps?

[pallid marsh]

did you do grub-mkconfig after installing linux?

[lyric pollen]

I did mkincpio -P.

[pallid marsh]

well grub needs to update its config for linux kernel to appear

[lyric pollen]

So, how do I do that?

[pallid marsh]

mount partitions

arch-chroot

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[fallen raptor]

Anyone tried running a Ubuntu VPS on GitHub?

Well it's not a VPS technically but ykyk

[blazing vault]

you get limiited ci/cd time

you get 6 hour total of the vm being alive

use oracle cloud free tier vps, 24gb ram 4 ampere arm core(slower than rasp pi 4)
and 0,5gb ram (1/6) vcore amd cpu(1 core split 6 ways) , you get 2 of this amd vps for free

[vagrant crag]

GM

[pallid marsh]

dont you need credit card

[blazing vault]

Yes you do

But you will never be charged in that configuration

4 core 24 gb ram is free

[pallid marsh]

hmm ok

why do they give away free ram and cores

[blazing vault]

So you use oracle cloud's paid tier

They are in a tough situation

[pallid marsh]

freeloaders aint doin that

[blazing vault]

Those hardware never see light of the day, they dont lose much by letting you have them by free if that sways you to have your infrastructure in oracle(dont)

[pallid marsh]

life as in oracle

well some people do make summerhosts with them

[blazing vault]

I'd say less than 30% of the people end up being free loaders

[pallid marsh]

thats kinda crazy

[blazing vault]

Oracle has no spot, go aws if you have money, go with azure if you poor, go gcloud if balaced

[pallid marsh]

damm all big tech corpo

they gonna make your life really hard

[lyric pollen]

And after that?

[pallid marsh]

try rebooting

and see if grub works

or if i should explode you

if it boots to arxh we can start with the next steps

damn thats one hell of a skill issue

[pallid marsh]

yo dude what happened?

[lyric pollen]

Shouldn't I have to make a user first?

[pallid marsh]

yeah wait

[lyric pollen]

But uh
I already entered grub.

[pallid marsh]

useradd -m madagascar

[pallid marsh]

login

[lyric pollen]

Where?

[pallid marsh]

root

pass

then do

$useradd -m madagascar

[lyric pollen]

Does it have to be madagascar?

[pallid marsh]

no it was just a name 💀

[lyric pollen]

User name right?

[pallid marsh]

replace madagascar with your username

could be meow-meow-cat

[lyric pollen]

Then?

[pallid marsh]

or lifeless-fart

then

$passwd madagascar

then setup your passsword

$pacman -S --needed sudo

[lyric pollen]

Says invalid option.

Pacman one.

[pallid marsh]

what

your pacman on drugs maybe

try again

[pallid marsh]

there is space after -S

[lyric pollen]

Wait I got it.

[pallid marsh]

-S and --needed are different flags

[lyric pollen]

Says no need to update

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

that means time for real torture

wait brb

[lyric pollen]

Be right back after 5 minutes.

[pallid marsh]

$export EDITOR="nvim"

[lyric pollen]

Then?

[pallid marsh]

$EDITOR=nvim visudo

[lyric pollen]

Okay
Now what?

[pallid marsh]

ok now goto line 114

use j to down

[lyric pollen]

It's empty.

[pallid marsh]

uhh a screenshot?

[pallid marsh]

uncomment %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

[lyric pollen]

Sure?

[pallid marsh]

you dont want sudo?

[lyric pollen]

The no password one?
Not the one above?

Of course I want sudo.

[pallid marsh]

the one under root

%wheel

not without a password

why would you use sudo without password

thats some risky shit

[lyric pollen]

So how do I comment the without password one?

[pallid marsh]

there is to a # in front of it

once done press ESC or CTRL + C

then type :wq

if you did something wrong it wont let you

[lyric pollen]

Okay.....

I did it.

Maybe worked.

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

good

$groupadd %wheel

[lyric pollen]

Says it's not valid

[pallid marsh]

$cat /etc/group

what output does it give?

[lyric pollen]

Theres wheel there.

[pallid marsh]

wait i did it wrong

groupadd wheel

the percent wont be there

use Up arrow key

to go up the commands

[lyric pollen]

Wheel already exists.

[pallid marsh]

then remove percent

[lyric pollen]

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

ok thats nice

$usermod -aG wheel madagascar

change madagascar

[lyric pollen]

Change didn't work.

Says change command not found.

[pallid marsh]

i meant change madagascar to your username

[lyric pollen]

I wrote that one.

Nothing happened.

[pallid marsh]

what

[lyric pollen]

It's still in root.

[pallid marsh]

yes

thats good

[lyric pollen]

So now what?

[pallid marsh]

$exit

madagascar

pass

and boom

sudo

[lyric pollen]

Sudo'ed.

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

good

sudo systemctl enable --now ntp.service

[lyric pollen]

Ntp doesn't exist.

[pallid marsh]

i guess its

ntpdate.service

[lyric pollen]

Didn' work.

[pallid marsh]

hmm wait

ntpd.service

i think

[lyric pollen]

Still didn't work.

[pallid marsh]

hmm that can be done later

[lyric pollen]

What was that?

[pallid marsh]

pacman -Q kitty

[pallid marsh]

time service

[lyric pollen]

Then?

[pallid marsh]

i forgot the name

[lyric pollen]

Kitty'd.

[pallid marsh]

does any output happen?

with version

[lyric pollen]

Yeah.

[pallid marsh]

good that means its installed

sudo systemctl enable --now sddm.service

does ugly sddm appear?

[lyric pollen]

Yes.

[pallid marsh]

now hop into hyprland

[lyric pollen]

Okay.

[pallid marsh]

you can also use tty to login to hyprland if you dont like display manager

its just

$Hyprland

okay in hyprland open kitty

[lyric pollen]

Done.

Now wht?

[pallid marsh]

nvim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

[pallid marsh]

damn why is it that i keep forgetting to charge my laptop while using it

[pallid marsh]

yes

[lyric pollen]

Then?

[pallid marsh]

nvim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

btw remember if it doesnt find hyprland it should throw up error

you probably did some command wrong which made it create new line

[lyric pollen]

Workedm

[pallid marsh]

its a little bit weird

its blockquote

[pallid marsh]

remove that line

[lyric pollen]

Done.

[pallid marsh]

save and exit

[lyric pollen]

[pallid marsh]

💀

[lyric pollen]

Fixed.

[pallid marsh]

dude

[lyric pollen]

Now whatM

[pallid marsh]

ok

$sudo ntpd -u ntp:ntp

$sudo systemctl enable --now ntpd.service

[lyric pollen]

Ntpd command not found.

[pallid marsh]

bruhh what

[pallid marsh]

sudo pacman -S --needed ntp

probably isnt installed then

once you do that

sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

bind = $mainMod, K, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" $HOME/Screenshots/$(date +'%s_grim.png') | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken"
bind = $mainMod, H, exec, grim -g "0,0 1366x768" $HOME/Screenshots/$(date +'%s_grim.png') | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken"

[lyric pollen]

Why does it say failed to download?

In ntp?

[pallid marsh]

if you add these 2 lines and change the resolution it should be able to take proper screenshot for you
make sure to install grim and slurp

[pallid marsh]

huh

what does it say

screenshot

[pallid marsh]

$ping archwiki.org

[lyric pollen]

Temporary failure in name resolution.

[pallid marsh]

does it ping?

[lyric pollen]

No.

[pallid marsh]

no internet L

$iwctl

[iwd]# adapter phy0 set-property Powered on

i think you do that

for ethernet

[lyric pollen]

Waiting for IWD to start

Should it say that?

[pallid marsh]

ctrl + c

hmmm

wait

[lyric pollen]

Should I do ctrl c?

[pallid marsh]

yeah it will never start

lspci -v

check if it shows your ethernet

it should have a line with kernel driver in use

which would mean its working

[lyric pollen]

There's an ethernet controller.
With a kernel drive in use.

[pallid marsh]

ok good

[lyric pollen]

Now what?

[pallid marsh]

sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager.service

try again $ping archlinux.org

[lyric pollen]

Worked.

[pallid marsh]

good

now download ntp

then

$sudo ntpd -u ntp:ntp
$sudo systemctl enable --now ntpd.service

[lyric pollen]

Done.

Now what?

M8?
Shouldni do the portal thing?

[pallid marsh]

what

yeah

install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

these are things for things like file picker and screen sharing etc

[lyric pollen]

Done.

Then?

[pallid marsh]

ok i gave you two binds to append to your config so you can screenshot properly

you can copy them by now opening firefox

instead of having to type them

bind = $mainMod, K, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" $HOME/Screenshots/$(date +'%s_grim.png') | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken"
bind = $mainMod, H, exec, grim -g "0,0 1366x768" $HOME/Screenshots/$(date +'%s_grim.png') | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken"

you need to install three things for it work btw

wl-clipboard grim slurp

and also

change your resolution

[lyric pollen]

How do install grim?

[pallid marsh]

mine is 1366x768

[pallid marsh]

pacman

install them all by pacman

[lyric pollen]

How do I change resolution?

[pallid marsh]

hmm wait u

I remember the ones from the dot files.

[pallid marsh]

bruh

anyways

download the file

cd Downloads/

cat append.file >> ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

Super+K to pick a part of your screen
Super+H to screenshot the entire screen

[pallid marsh]

CTRL+V

[lyric pollen]

in terminal it is CTRL+SHIFT+C

[pallid marsh]

SUPER+C

[lyric pollen]

Ctrl v isnt working

[pallid marsh]

[pallid marsh]

it should work in firefox

[lyric pollen]

Just super + k right?

[pallid marsh]

no

super k to select a part of the screen to screenshot

[lyric pollen]

no to take ss actually

how do i paste it?

[pallid marsh]

ctrl + v

[lyric pollen]

It isn't pasting

[pallid marsh]

hmm open kitty and type$ wl-paste

[lyric pollen]

Nothing happened

[pallid marsh]

hmm wait

hmm i think i need to change something

for now

[lyric pollen]

in the append file?

[pallid marsh]

you can upload files from using the + button in discord

[pallid marsh]

yeah i have skill issues

[lyric pollen]

So..now what?

[pallid marsh]

well uhh

install file manager

your bar

application launcher

wlogout

fastfetch

btop

hyprpaper and waypaper

you can also use swww instead of hyprpaper

https://wiki.hyprland.org

start with getting started

then read the master tutorial

to get an idea

[lyric pollen]

It is not finding wlogout.

Mako or swaync?

m8?

I installed rofi, qt stuff, nwg, and other stuff.

[lyric pollen]

you there?

[pallid marsh]

uninstall rofi

[pallid marsh]

idk i use mako

wait

install yay

[lyric pollen]

how?

[pallid marsh]

sudo pacman -Rns rofi

$sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si

[pallid marsh]

to install yay

[lyric pollen]

it says i need root

even with sudo

[pallid marsh]

what

only pacman needs root

pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si

do them step by step instead

[lyric pollen]

now it's working.

but it failed

Aight

it worked.

now what?

[pallid marsh]

so it worked?

you got yay maybe

$yay -S rofi-wayland wlogout

some tools are not on pacman

[lyric pollen]

+makedepends=("Meson" "git" "scdoc")

it aks for a tag

[pallid marsh]

screenshot in ~/Screenshots

directory

[lyric pollen]

there's none.

[lyric pollen]

there's none.

[pallid marsh]

damn

[lyric pollen]

so now what

[pallid marsh]

ctrl+c

[pallid marsh]

y

[lyric pollen]

done.

now what?

[lyric pollen]

Now what do i do?

@pallid marsh

[vagrant crag]

GM

[pallid marsh]

idk

you got rofi and wlogout

add them to your config

add the top

exec-once = rofi -show drun

[vagrant crag]

Wayland sucks.

[pallid marsh]

just like xorg

[vagrant crag]

xorg created Wayland

[pallid marsh]

wayland is the grandfather of xorg

[vagrant crag]

xorg is the god father

[pallid marsh]

xorg is my ballz

[vagrant crag]

[vagrant crag]

I agree. Xorg thr goat

[pallid marsh]

damn your goat has ballz?

last time i saw my goat was when i was eating it

and the ballz were gone

[vagrant crag]

😔

Rip goat

[pallid marsh]

just like yours is gone now

[vagrant crag]

My goat created your goat. Goat+Goat=Goat

[pallid marsh]

Goat+Goat = 2Goat

[pallid marsh]

btw read the wiki and read the binds part

learn about binds

and add wlogout as a bind

[lyric pollen]

how?

[lyric pollen]

arch or hyprland?

should i use exec once?

[pallid marsh]

actually exec

[pallid marsh]

hypr

[lyric pollen]

rofi keeps saying failed to set locale

[pallid marsh]

yeah

its a pain

im eating rn

[lyric pollen]

How do i open the locale file?

And how do i enter the de?

[pallid marsh]

$grep -v ^# /etc/locale.gen

whats teh output?

[lyric pollen]

bn_BD UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

[pallid marsh]

dude from bangladesh?

[fallen raptor]

Credit card 😭

[pallid marsh]

brug wait i accidentally shutdown my computer

i tried to shutdown nested hyprland

[pallid marsh]

L kid moment

[lyric pollen]

can we focus at the problem at hand for now?

[pallid marsh]

i cant when my pc just shutdown and i need to reopen all forums

[lyric pollen]

Okay.

[pallid marsh]

btw do you wanna remove bd bd or what

[lyric pollen]

I'll try fixing the ss's then.

[pallid marsh]

the ss one i got solution

[lyric pollen]

the rofi problem to be precise

[pallid marsh]

uhh

[fallen raptor]

What about code space? It runs Ubuntu server

[lyric pollen]

and the extra utf

[pallid marsh]

maybe just remove bn bd

its kinda useless

[lyric pollen]

okay

but it isn't letting me open the config

[pallid marsh]

unless you want your pc to have bengali language

sudo nvim /etc/locale.gen

comment out

then

[lyric pollen]

and the ss?

[pallid marsh]

$sudo locale-gen

[pallid marsh]

wait

imma give new binds

[lyric pollen]

okay

rofi is up.

now I need to configure it.

[pallid marsh]

does rofi show icons?

wait you dont have any icon theme

[lyric pollen]

no

[pallid marsh]

well then you can configure icons later

[lyric pollen]

w8 should i enter de now?

[pallid marsh]

what

## SCREENSHOT UTILITY ##

# Screenshot full screen and copy to clipboard
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, H, exec, grim -g "0,0 1366x768" - | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken" "Copied to clipboard"
# Screenshot full screen and save to ~/Screenshots
bind = $mainMod, H, exec, grim -g "0,0 1366x768" $HOME/Screenshots/$(date +'%s_grim.png') && notify-send "Screenshot Taken" "Copied to Screenshots folder"
# Screenshot a selected area and copy to clipboard
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, K, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken" "Copied to clipboard" 
# Screenshot a selected area and save to ~/Screenshots
bind = $mainMod, K, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" $HOME/Screenshots/$(date +'%s_grim.png') && notify-send "Screenshot Taken" "Copied to Screenshots folder"

delete the old stuff i told you to append

and replace them

oh you need to configure neovim for that

first delete the screenshot bind that i gave you before from your config

[pallid marsh]

download this

$cd Downloads/

[worldly spoke]

Command restricted to admins (Discord permissions: administrator). Use $restrict to allow specific roles.

[pallid marsh]

chill the fk out of here deepshit

[pallid marsh]

then

[fallen raptor]

Oh yeah I was gonna ask a question

Don't u have a file explorer you can use IN the terminal?

[pallid marsh]

$cat append.file >> file

[fallen raptor]

Like VIM and Nano

[pallid marsh]

yes you can use ranger

[fallen raptor]

Just using them as an example

[fallen raptor]

Kool

[pallid marsh]

vim is a text editor

there is also nnn

[fallen raptor]

Yeah it runs on the terminal that's why I was using it as an example

Cuz there are text editors outside the terminal ofc

[lyric pollen]

still doesn't work

[fallen raptor]

Thx

[lyric pollen]

but swaync is working

[pallid marsh]

hmm great i think i might have even more problem

[lyric pollen]

What happened?

[pallid marsh]

bruh my screenshot bind is opening hyprland

what an ass tool

here is my hyprland

even bigger

[lyric pollen]

So, should we deal with it later?

[pallid marsh]

screenshot?

[lyric pollen]

yeah?

[pallid marsh]

did you try the one i gave you?

[lyric pollen]

yeah

[pallid marsh]

does it not work?

[lyric pollen]

still doesn't work.

[pallid marsh]

grim -g - | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken" "Copied to clipboard"

try this one

in your terminal first

[lyric pollen]

i did

[pallid marsh]

what happens

[lyric pollen]

invalid geometry

[pallid marsh]

grim - | wl-copy -t image/png && notify-send "Screenshot Taken" "Copied to clipboard"

this one should work

mf grim

[lyric pollen]

works

ngl the pc looks peak right now.

[pallid marsh]

i hope this time its all good

remove the old screenshot tool

and use this one

cd Downloads/

cat append.file >> ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

[lyric pollen]

doesn't work

[pallid marsh]

what happens?

[lyric pollen]

a blur

then a low blur

then nothing

[pallid marsh]

can you show me that part of your config

[lyric pollen]

anyway how do u take full ss pic?

[pallid marsh]

super shift h for clipboard super h for ~/Screenshots

[pallid marsh]

hmm maybe your cursor is an L

[pallid marsh]

a blur means slurp is working

[lyric pollen]

full pic works

so super shift works perfectly

[pallid marsh]

super h ?

[lyric pollen]

super h doesn't work

[pallid marsh]

super k should also work

your cursor probably isnt showing

try dragging a part

[lyric pollen]

dragging is working

[pallid marsh]

i forgot the resolution

[lyric pollen]

but it gives no output

[pallid marsh]

you need to change your resolution

[pallid marsh]

bruh

[lyric pollen]

where?

[pallid marsh]

super shift k

[pallid marsh]

remove -g "0,0 1366x768"

[pallid marsh]

from first one

from second one change resolution to 1600x900

[pallid marsh]

see it blurs then i drag

then it outputs for me

[lyric pollen]

wait
is it not working because there is no HOME\Screenshots

[pallid marsh]

oh

i never thought

create one

mkdir ~/Screenshots

[lyric pollen]

so now it's taking them.

but not taking them to the clipboard.

Well, as long as it works.......

[pallid marsh]

thats intentional

shift puts it to clipboard

without shift it goes to screenshots

i unfortunately couldnt do both

[lyric pollen]

So....can we move on to actually seeing the de?

[lyric pollen]

no worries

I'll have to figure it out later.

[pallid marsh]

you can try using other tools

grim and slurp are very barebones

hyprshot is a great one

grimblast is another

swaapy i think is also another

flameshot is shit but works

[lyric pollen]

I'll try out wappy.

[pallid marsh]

i am just lazy ass

[lyric pollen]

Anyway i'll continue tomorrow

thanks man

[pallid marsh]

if you wanna record or stream then you need to tweak some things

[lyric pollen]

you were a big help

[pallid marsh]

thanks for thanking me

[lyric pollen]

that'll have to wait

[pallid marsh]

its in the wiki if i die

[lyric pollen]

Okay.

[pallid marsh]
