Is there a way to fix the bios/TPM on my HP laptop so I stop getting a stupid /dev/tpm0 job waiting for 1.5 minutes at startup? I'm guessing I would have to reflash the most recent BIOS from Win10, anyone know if this would work to fix the TPM? I think at some point I cleared the TPM because I didn't really care about it. I still don't really care that much but figure it wouldn't be bad to have it working
>>106999471on my hp 15-fd0083wm shitop i disabled everything relating to the tpm after clearing the keys. that was the only thing that made it work with linux.
>>106999359why arent we linking new thread in the old one?
do any of you know of a good dark/retro theme for gtk? in the molds of raleigh for example.
>>106999856i like making literally every element black that makes sense to makesometimes it makes things look like they are "floating" but also its just the least amount of light from monitor which is nice
Weekend is nigh and it's time to fix up some stuff that's broken for unknown reasons.First off, imv doesn't work with jpeg and gif files. pacman -Qi doesn't list any dependencies I'm missing. I'm on wayland. I'm using the version on pacman, there's a git version on the AUR but the comments say one of the dependencies isn't being maintained and isn't secure. What do? I'm only trying to install imv because I want something lightweight to view gif files, like an improved version of feh. I don't really care that it has to work on the terminal, I just want to open gifs and do it real fucking quick.Second, I can run a certain software on my mint computer via wine. The same software doesn't work on my arch notebook via wine. I think the reason is the wine packaged on pacman uses wow64 and the one on mint doesn't. If I install wine-stable or wine32 from the aur, it prints metric tons of gibberish on the terminal and does nothing. I think it can't handle having both wine and wine32/stable installed, so I'd have to uninstall wine from pacman. If I do that, will it uninstall my software as well and force me to reinstall it all on wine32 only for it to maybe or maybe not work? Is there anything else I should try first? I'm on wayland in this machine and wine defaults to xwayland, could that be causing the issue? The software in question doesn't work on wine because it can't find some dll files, but those files are present on its directories. Don't know if that helps.
I installed Linux Mint and Luanti and I don’t think I need anything more
>>107000013neatdoes this game have nether end or shit like that?
>>107000022Lunatic has anything you want. It is an FOSS voxel engine. There are Mineclone games and several other FOSS voxel games. You can make whatever you want or play something created by others.
>>107000002>xwaylandpiece of trash, i had so many issues with xwayland back on kde + debian, try getting ride of that first.also, lets check those digs...>>107000000>>106999999

>>107000141> its just if it doesnt have achievements or final boss you lose main speedrunning categoriesWhy would anyone over the age of 13 even care about that?
>>107000141>did you use tabs to separate each field?no, it's spacesthe default drives in there use spaces as well

>>106998728I learned a lot of these lessons the hard way already, but this was an insightful read anyway. Thanks for posting it.
>>107000236>tty certain you are supposed to use tabs in fstabyou don't need to use tabs in fstab. whitespace is whitespace, see ctype.h.>>107000102post entire fstab. did you chwon the mount location?
>>107000236>are you sure? im pretty certain you are supposed to use tabs in fstabyou don't need to use tabs, spaces or tabs will work fine
>>107000227I'm retarded.I've read the manual and figured out how to run it without xwayland, but the software still doesn't work and complains about dlls it has already. I'm back to thinking wow64 is the issue.
>>107000248>>107000271>googles iti swear you had to use tabs in itwhat in the fuck is this total recall ass blade runner 2049 ass fucking bullshit
>>107000300i've been using spaces for over a decade at this point, until i stopped writing them all together, but i'm not gonna say you can't have been right at some point, because frankly im too lazy to look into that
>>107000315nah i dont think soi dont think it wouldve been ever changed, that would break a lot of setups and random shitbut then again, nowadays we are automatically rewriting resolv.conf with systemd moduals and other bullshit so who knows
>>107000300The only common formats I'm aware of where the Tab character has special significance are shell scripts and makefiles.
>>107000463shell scripts? they are mostly whitespace indifferent besides newlines
>>107000463>makefilesand (((gnu))) needs to burn for this.
>>107000488Here Documents automagically strip leading Tabs but not spaces>>107000499They inherited a lot of bad decisions made by boomer interns.
>>107000509>Here Documents automagically strip leading Tabs but not spacesthis is very much an edge case applying only to <<- heredocs. in 99% of cases shell scripts don't care whether you use tabs, spaces or nothing.
>>107000540Yeah but you're aware of it unless you type out 160 lines of echo statements like a fuckin streetshitter.
>>107000551or just don't indent your heredocs, or read from a file. frankly i think you're fucking insane if you legitimately needed 160 lines of heredoc and i hope your insanity never makes it to production. if it does i hope you're my competitor.
>>107000586160 lines is a lot less than you'd think.

I have tried everything to make windows relinquish control over my SSDDisabled secure boot and hibernation, fiddled with the fstab and all the variables and nothing besides the subservient act of removing it from the fstab and manually mounting it every boot lets me write on itThis is not a cry for help, I don't need anything, I'm going to take all the data off it and slice N(igger)TFS' s neck with the Occam's razor like I should have done hours ago and replace it with an Aryan filesystem
>>107000626just don't indent it. why would you? fzf's help is not indented.
>>107000628remove windows and everything microshit. problem solved
Trying to enable a service with the --user flag gives me this error:>Failed to connect to user scope bus via local transport: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)machinectl says there's no machines so I can't do as it suggests on the error message.What do? I want to enable mpd but that requires the --user flag or else it won't work properly.
>>107000643Because Go has different idioms than shell script. Why should anyone care if Unix shell indenting triggers your tism? Go make a time machine if you don't like it.
>>107000686i didn't tell you to care, but your retarded gotcha wasn't even relevant to what i was saying. btw it took you a horrifically long time to find that code. finish school kid
>>107000685From my notes:export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$UID"export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus"Make sure those paths are correct for your system, but otherwise that should be what you need.
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$UID"export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus"
>>107000726Literally that, as is, or do I change the $UID to my UID? What do I do with the path to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR?
>>107000726where did you put that?
>>107000748"$UID" will generally give you your actual uid, try echo "$UID"
>>107000754Yeah, I can find it with echo, it gives me some number.But I substitute that number on the export command or leave it as $UID and the command will interpret that? Same with the second export command.
>>107000769in double quotes (") export will substitute that for you just the same as it did with echo. your shell does that substitution before any commands are invoked (these are most likely gonna be builtins in both cases, but the same concept applies)if you are ever unsure about this slap echo in front of your command and you should see any variable substitutions applied the same way you would if you invoked the actual command
>>107000748>>107000769You can run them as-is; $UID and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR will be substituted automatically when defining the environment variables.>>107000749Run those commands in a shell, or you could add them somewhere like /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile if needed.
>>107000769so what file are you putting that in? or just exporting them in an interactive shell?

>>107000628Windows has no control over your SSD if it's not the OS you're currently booted in.After you mount the drive manually and confirm it's RW, see the correct mount parameters with `findmnt`.The only possible cause for your issues is incorrect mount parameters, there is no point in blaming Windows for your mistakes.

I followed this flowchart. Now a happy Vanilla OS User.
>>107001832>install stock xfce/mate or whatever gui on arch>or choose among 5 obscure github.com reddit things or forks of other things (that will have inevitable compat. and lack of maintenance problems with their custom special-sauce addons) and will cease to exist within 2 years
why are you fags so afraid of Fedora?
>>107001886I'm not though. I use Bluefin, which is based on Fedora Silver blue still. They're moving away from it with their Wolfi repo thing in the future though for faster GNOME shipping
>>107001863Considering that most of these listed distros there have existed for over 2 years already, I see no problem. Maybe stop living under a rock?
>>107001832Is there a reason to use VanillaOS over something like Bluefin / Aurora (or at least Silverblue)? VanillaOS seemed way too custom and clunky last time I used it, while UBlue distros are effectively Fedora Atomic plus a handful of customizations and pre-installed software on top. VanillaOS is infinitely more likely to become abandonware.>dev>CachyOS, ArchI'm sorry, but a dev machine is required to be stable and require no maintenance. As a dev I can definitely say that UBlue and Fedora Atomic distros are much more usable. Not to mention that Ubuntu and Fedora are the default choice for 90% of developers. CachyOS and Arch are absolutely not "dev distros" unless you're just larping as a dev.
>>107001918VanillaOS is pretty much the same as Bluefin but without stupid Dinosaurs plus you get a distrobox shell right from the start that pulls CLI things directly from Debian Sid. That's why I use it. https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/vanilla-system-operator
