2020-08-24T00:18:42 #kisslinux you people know about shell scripting, is there anything i can do "better" in this thing: https://git.ebc.li/admicos/snippets/src/branch/master/utils/shell/patchy/patchy ?

2020-08-24T00:19:16 #kisslinux if there's any non-portable stuff in there please let me know, i don't exactly know what is a bash/gnuism and what isn't

2020-08-24T00:46:54 #kisslinux Hey, my system isn't booting. https://i.redd.it/5otz8ithkui51.jpg

2020-08-24T01:47:30 #kisslinux quisussud: check your /etc/fstab

2020-08-24T03:20:09 #kisslinux admicos love your avatar on your git instance

2020-08-24T03:20:23 #kisslinux mine or the organization's?

2020-08-24T03:21:36 #kisslinux the best avatar is on the my-lineage org, which probably is what you're talking about but w/e

2020-08-24T03:34:23 #kisslinux im talking about the same one you use on your (mastodon?) instance

2020-08-24T03:48:45 #kisslinux ah no that avatar actually has some resemblence of production value

2020-08-24T09:47:29 #kisslinux Hello guys :) I'm quite new here and I just tried to install Kiss on my real computer. It starts booting but I can only see black screen. I have booted again with my Arch installation and chroot to my kiss to check if I have any log... but I cannot find any error. Any suggestion? Can it be related to the NVIDIA card?

2020-08-24T10:08:19 #kisslinux I discovered something :) It's booting fine but... with my Intel graphics instead of the NVIDIA card (both cards have a HDMI cable going to the TV for KVM purposes)

2020-08-24T10:29:56 #kisslinux for the nvidia stuff, do you use nouveau drivers?

2020-08-24T10:34:29 #kisslinux at the moment yes as I'm very new and I do not know how to install the proprietary ones :D

2020-08-24T10:41:46 #kisslinux proprietary software?

2020-08-24T10:44:52 #kisslinux I mean, I would like to install the regular nvidia drivers insted of nouveau but, at the moment, I have the nouveau ones. What is happening is that the TV is connected to the Nvidia card, it shows the grub, I choose Kiss and then I need to change the HDMI to the intel card (connected to the same TV) to see something, if not the screen is black

2020-08-24T10:48:10 #kisslinux the thing with KISS is that most closed software won't work

2020-08-24T10:48:19 #kisslinux because they are compiled against glibc rather than musl

2020-08-24T10:48:43 #kisslinux I'm fairly sure the closed source nvidia drivers won't work

2020-08-24T10:53:57 #kisslinux ohhh, ok, not a big problem :) I can stick with nouveau for my learning process :)

2020-08-24T10:54:01 #kisslinux Thanks a lot for your reply

2020-08-24T11:03:02 #kisslinux I bought an amd gpu for this

2020-08-24T11:03:09 #kisslinux because they have good open source drivers ;)

2020-08-24T11:19:03 #kisslinux Hey, someone recommended I check my fstab because my system won't boot, so I checked but it's in order.

2020-08-24T11:19:32 #kisslinux Here's the error https://i.redd.it/5otz8ithkui51.jpg

2020-08-24T11:19:52 #kisslinux I think I will stay with the integrated intel graphics for the time being or test the nouveau

2020-08-24T11:19:58 #kisslinux Thanks a lot for yoursupport

2020-08-24T14:12:47 #kisslinux Apologize for bothering you all again but... Why the heck grub jumps from HDMI1 to 2 (from Nvidia to Intel Integrated graphics card)? The only hints I'm able to find are: https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/0VBd2Vvv/NouveauDmesg

2020-08-24T14:51:35 #kisslinux lhoqvso: it says it can't load the firmware; did you build the firmware for your video card into the kernel?

2020-08-24T14:53:04 #kisslinux if I'm not mistaken, yes. I followed the instructions from the website (https://k1ss.org/install#7.3) and copied the nvidia folder (I hope it's the right one, I was not able to find anything related to nouveau)

2020-08-24T14:56:53 #kisslinux Did you add that directory to the firmware section of the kernel config?

2020-08-24T14:58:41 #kisslinux if that is cp -R nvidia/ /usr/lib/firmware then yes (sorry, I'm new on this)

2020-08-24T15:04:07 #kisslinux j`ey: Thanks, but I think I had that. I poked around a bit this morning and got back to it now, and yeah, now it works. I'll make a writeup later that includes my kernel configuration among other things. :)

2020-08-24T15:10:53 #kisslinux lhoqvso: there's a section in the kernel config for adding firmware directories. You can probably find it in a search in menuconfig: /firmware_dir

2020-08-24T15:11:00 #kisslinux I think that would find it at least

2020-08-24T15:11:40 #kisslinux You'll have to give the directory along with the firmware name. Mine looks like /usr/lib/firmware for the firmware dir, and intel-ucode/ucode.img for the firmwares to include

2020-08-24T15:11:57 #kisslinux ohhh my fault then! Thanks a lot and apologize for my newbie question... I will make progress from that! :) Thanks for your patience really!

2020-08-24T15:13:35 #kisslinux You're fine haha. The kernel is a mess of configuration options

2020-08-24T15:13:53 #kisslinux I spent 3 days troubleshooting why I couldn't boot and turns out I somehow disabled efistub support. We all miss things

2020-08-24T15:14:39 #kisslinux I was wondering if some information would be worth adding to the Kiss Wiki. I know this is not for newbies but... much appreciated some light :)

2020-08-24T15:15:12 #kisslinux BTW on the Installation instruction it sais to build xorg mesa... but it does not say anything about install it :)

2020-08-24T15:16:03 #kisslinux The kernel section of the wiki needs a lot of expansion. I'm thinking of putting something together

2020-08-24T15:16:21 #kisslinux That would be awesome :)

2020-08-24T15:16:24 #kisslinux Thanks sir :)

2020-08-24T17:08:47 #kisslinux Just as an idea but... maybe it will be nice if the "boss" can name a few good and expert people to be editors and create content for the wiki. The goal is not to have the next Arch Wiki but I think we all can learn a lot from this so good articles/guides will be very helpful and sometimes, just to point to some documentation even if it's from others it's also beneficial. Don't know... what do you think?

2020-08-24T17:29:46 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> lhoqvso: i believe Dylan intended for the latest iteration of the Wiki to be entirely community driven? given that, i imagine, if you want an article written, just make the suggestion for the topic here or (better yet) write it yourself! Speaking from experience, writing an article is an awesome way to learn and gather community feedback. plus, the more people that contribute, the “stronger” and more knowledgeable

2020-08-24T17:29:46 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> community becomes, imo.

2020-08-24T17:30:22 #kisslinux i like the pages that make me discover new cool software

2020-08-24T17:30:28 #kisslinux like sx

2020-08-24T17:30:56 #kisslinux Completely agree :) I'm planning about reinstalling again from scratch and documenting the whole installation so maybe it can be useful for others (at least a part!). I'm very newbie but willing to learn :)
