[2023-09-10T19:08:25Z] <sewn> anyone ever tried to get xdg-utils on kiss?
[2023-09-10T19:08:48Z] <sewn> it needs a bunch of depends which i have trouble building, bash, xml{to,lib2}, docbook, perl and all that stuff
[2023-09-10T19:08:58Z] <sewn> is there some form of alternative other than writing own xdg-open script?
[2023-09-10T20:18:42Z] <emmatebibyte> hi hi, ive been having trouble installing kiss from the communoty repo. does anyone know how to fix when grub is stuck at loading linux? ive recompiled linux a few times to no avail
[2023-09-10T20:19:38Z] <emmatebibyte> s/oty/ity/
[2023-09-10T21:05:52Z] <Doomking> emmatebibyte: I'm pretty sure that's a kernel issue, not sure which module is missing
[2023-09-10T21:06:23Z] <emmatebibyte> maybe i should just install the artix linux kernel or something
[2023-09-10T21:06:39Z] <Doomking> I ran into that issue before and I enabled a frame buffer module and it worked
[2023-09-10T21:06:48Z] <emmatebibyte> ah ty
[2023-09-10T21:06:51Z] <emmatebibyte> ill try that
[2023-09-10T21:07:14Z] <emmatebibyte> eating a late lunch first, ill let yall know how it goes
[2023-09-10T21:07:23Z] <Doomking> If you're installing on UEFI, make sure to get FB_EFI with FB
[2023-09-10T21:07:52Z] <Doomking> Just in case, I enabled "Simple Framebuffer" but not sure if this did anything, but just glad my system booted up lol
[2023-09-10T21:19:19Z] <emmatebibyte> i had FB_EFI and FB both enabled so i enabled Simple Framebuffer and am about to compile
[2023-09-10T21:21:24Z] <Doomking> Hopefully that fixes the issue!
[2023-09-10T21:22:58Z] <emmatebibyte> i really hope so too, since i have to fly to Florida tomorrow lol
[2023-09-10T21:24:09Z] <emmatebibyte> it works! it gets stuck at loading initial ramdisk now
[2023-09-10T21:24:22Z] <emmatebibyte> so ig i need tinyramfs :3
[2023-09-10T21:24:29Z] <Doomking> Yup!
[2023-09-10T21:31:26Z] <emmatebibyte> dang. i created the initramfs file in /boot and it’s sticking at “Loading initial ramdisk...”
[2023-09-10T21:31:37Z] <emmatebibyte> hmm
[2023-09-10T21:39:26Z] <Doomking> I don't use initramfs, so I can't really help out with this issue. Sorry about that.
[2023-09-10T21:39:40Z] <emmatebibyte> its ok
[2023-09-10T21:39:51Z] <emmatebibyte> its not actually supposed to be using initramfs
[2023-09-10T21:40:05Z] <emmatebibyte> this is weird
[2023-09-10T21:40:19Z] <Doomking> I just disabled initramfs
[2023-09-10T21:41:19Z] <emmatebibyte> its disabled in my kernel config
[2023-09-10T21:41:27Z] <emmatebibyte> it was grub doing stuff
[2023-09-10T21:41:45Z] <Doomking> huh, that is weird
[2023-09-10T21:43:29Z] <emmatebibyte> ok yea its still stuck at loading linux
[2023-09-10T21:43:49Z] <emmatebibyte> but at least i know it can run commands past that?
[2023-09-10T21:44:01Z] <emmatebibyte> grub can
[2023-09-10T21:44:38Z] <Doomking> grub?
[2023-09-10T21:45:02Z] <emmatebibyte> yea, since it attempted to load in initramfs
[2023-09-10T21:45:16Z] <emmatebibyte> it was part of the grub command line thing
[2023-09-10T21:45:34Z] <Doomking> Like did it prompt you to a grub command line?
[2023-09-10T21:46:08Z] <emmatebibyte> no, it was inside the default grub config for loading my kernel is what i mean
[2023-09-10T21:48:07Z] <emmatebibyte> it was like
[2023-09-10T21:48:07Z] <emmatebibyte> linux /dev/sda3 r
[2023-09-10T21:48:07Z] <emmatebibyte> initrd /boot/initramfs
[2023-09-10T21:48:18Z] <emmatebibyte> etc
[2023-09-10T21:51:09Z] <Doomking> oh the grub.cfg
[2023-09-10T21:52:35Z] <emmatebibyte> yea
[2023-09-10T22:00:06Z] <emmatebibyte> bweh
[2023-09-10T22:00:11Z] <emmatebibyte> taking a break for now
[2023-09-10T22:00:19Z] <Doomking> any luck?
[2023-09-10T22:01:27Z] <emmatebibyte> no
[2023-09-10T22:02:02Z] <Doomking> that sucks :(
[2023-09-10T22:02:14Z] <emmatebibyte> i copied the artix kernel over and it kernel panicked
[2023-09-10T22:02:39Z] <Doomking> How did you copy the artix kernel?
[2023-09-10T22:02:52Z] <Doomking> Surely, you didn't just grab the vmlinuz and System.map right?
[2023-09-10T22:03:08Z] <emmatebibyte> lol, i definitely did do that
[2023-09-10T22:03:42Z] <emmatebibyte> though there is no System.map for Artix
[2023-09-10T22:03:48Z] <emmatebibyte> apparently
[2023-09-10T22:03:55Z] <emmatebibyte> or i didnt see one in /boot
[2023-09-10T22:04:42Z] <Doomking> Usually distros like those such as Arch, Debian, even Gentoo have their own initram file that it just won't work with your machine
[2023-09-10T22:05:22Z] <Doomking> The best thing that you could do if you want Artix kernel is grab their kernel .config and use that to build your own kernel
[2023-09-10T22:05:31Z] <emmatebibyte> ahh
[2023-09-10T22:06:02Z] <Doomking> You can easily build your own kernel without spending an excessive amount of time using "make localyesconfig"
[2023-09-10T22:06:17Z] <Doomking> and just go into "make menuconfig" and search for it and enable it
[2023-09-10T22:06:45Z] <Doomking> It's not the best way, but at least it'll get your machine up and running, later you can further customize your kernel config afterwards
[2023-09-10T22:07:00Z] <emmatebibyte> yea ive been messing with the kernel on this machine for months now ;-;
[2023-09-10T22:07:11Z] <emmatebibyte> ive tried that as well as defconfig
[2023-09-10T22:07:17Z] <Doomking> What kernel version are you using
[2023-09-10T22:07:24Z] <emmatebibyte> 6.9 something
[2023-09-10T22:07:40Z] <Doomking> Yeah, I use "make defconfig" with "make localyesconfig" that should be enough
[2023-09-10T22:08:32Z] <Doomking> the current stable is 6.5.2
[2023-09-10T22:08:53Z] <Doomking> 6.6 hasn't been released yet, not sure how you got 6.9 lol
[2023-09-10T22:09:09Z] <emmatebibyte> i think it might be 6.1.9 or somethin
[2023-09-10T22:09:16Z] <Doomking> ahh okay
[2023-09-10T22:09:17Z] <emmatebibyte> i have a little bit of dyscalculia
[2023-09-10T22:09:35Z] <emmatebibyte> just stepped away from the pc for a break
[2023-09-10T22:09:46Z] <emmatebibyte> as i said, ive been on this for months
[2023-09-10T22:10:11Z] <Doomking> yeah, I spent a good amount of hours with kiss linux
[2023-09-10T22:10:21Z] <emmatebibyte> just the kernel, i know how to set up the rest of the system just fine but ive never messed with compiling my own kernel
[2023-09-10T22:10:38Z] <Doomking> I can try to help you with setting up your kernel
[2023-09-10T22:10:55Z] <emmatebibyte> i would appreciate that
[2023-09-10T22:11:04Z] <emmatebibyte> i gotta do some quick packing but ill be back
[2023-09-10T22:11:12Z] <Doomking> Are you in a Live ISO right?
[2023-09-10T22:11:14Z] <Doomking> okay
[2023-09-10T22:11:18Z] <emmatebibyte> yea live Artix
[2023-09-10T22:11:53Z] <Doomking> Okay, let me know when you are ready
[2023-09-10T22:16:36Z] <emmatebibyte> my gf wants to go out for something, ill have to catch up later
[2023-09-10T22:16:46Z] <Doomking> ight
[2023-09-10T22:16:48Z] <emmatebibyte> thanks so much for the help!
