2020-08-24T00:18:42 #kisslinux <admicos> 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 <admicos> 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 <quisussud> Hey, my system isn't booting. https://i.redd.it/5otz8ithkui51.jpg
2020-08-24T01:47:30 #kisslinux <konimex> quisussud: check your /etc/fstab
2020-08-24T03:20:09 #kisslinux <micr0> admicos love your avatar on your git instance
2020-08-24T03:20:23 #kisslinux <admicos> mine or the organization's?
2020-08-24T03:21:36 #kisslinux <admicos> 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 <micr0> im talking about the same one you use on your (mastodon?) instance
2020-08-24T03:48:45 #kisslinux <admicos> ah no that avatar actually has some resemblence of production value
2020-08-24T09:47:29 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> 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 <lhoqvso> 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 <konimex> for the nvidia stuff, do you use nouveau drivers?
2020-08-24T10:34:29 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> 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 <onodera> proprietary software?
2020-08-24T10:44:52 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> 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 <onodera> the thing with KISS is that most closed software won't work
2020-08-24T10:48:19 #kisslinux <onodera> because they are compiled against glibc rather than musl
2020-08-24T10:48:43 #kisslinux <onodera> I'm fairly sure the closed source nvidia drivers won't work
2020-08-24T10:53:57 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> ohhh, ok, not a big problem :) I can stick with nouveau for my learning process :)
2020-08-24T10:54:01 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> Thanks a lot for your reply
2020-08-24T11:03:02 #kisslinux <onodera> I bought an amd gpu for this
2020-08-24T11:03:09 #kisslinux <onodera> because they have good open source drivers ;)
2020-08-24T11:19:03 #kisslinux <quisys> 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 <quisys> Here's the error https://i.redd.it/5otz8ithkui51.jpg
2020-08-24T11:19:52 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> I think I will stay with the integrated intel graphics for the time being or test the nouveau
2020-08-24T11:19:58 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> Thanks a lot for yoursupport
2020-08-24T14:12:47 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> 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 <dilynm> 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 <lhoqvso> 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 <dilynm> Did you add that directory to the firmware section of the kernel config?
2020-08-24T14:58:41 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> if that is cp -R nvidia/ /usr/lib/firmware  then yes (sorry, I'm new on this)
2020-08-24T15:04:07 #kisslinux <bjoernfan> 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 <dilynm> 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 <dilynm> I think that would find it at least
2020-08-24T15:11:40 #kisslinux <dilynm> 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 <lhoqvso> 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 <dilynm> You're fine haha. The kernel is a mess of configuration options
2020-08-24T15:13:53 #kisslinux <dilynm> 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 <lhoqvso> 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 <lhoqvso> 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 <dilynm> The kernel section of the wiki needs a lot of expansion. I'm thinking of putting something together
2020-08-24T15:16:21 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> That would be awesome :)
2020-08-24T15:16:24 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> Thanks sir :)
2020-08-24T17:08:47 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> 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 <onodera> i like the pages that make me discover new cool software
2020-08-24T17:30:28 #kisslinux <onodera> like sx
2020-08-24T17:30:56 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> 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 :)
