[2024-01-21T00:23:48Z] <thikkl> sad_plan: I got it working! (ish, I can see console output, but its a bit janky and it's having a problem mounting root). Turns out I hadn't enabled FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE. Thanks for all the help though! [2024-01-21T00:26:37Z] <sad_plan> sweet! [2024-01-21T00:40:31Z] <thikkl> Is there a way to prevent the EFI boot entry from being deleted when I remove my drive? (Yes, I installed KISS on a removable drive lol. Didn't want to mess around with dual boot) [2024-01-21T01:26:15Z] <thikkl> Ok, I found that there's a --removable option for GRUB... but I didn't find anything for EFI Stub [2024-01-21T01:42:19Z] <wannabekissuser> Hello everyone. I have been trying to install KISS Linux (GKISS in particular) on my machine, but have encountered several problems. I followed the instruction from KISS website, GKISS repo and kiss-xorg repo as well. I managed to finish the installation process quite successfully (that's what I thought at that moment, I didn't encounter any [2024-01-21T01:42:20Z] <wannabekissuser> serious problem), I installed xorg and nvidia, but after trying to reboot to actual system I got stuck on motherboard logo, just without the cheatsheet like hotkeys for entering the boot menu and stuff, they're typically below it. I figured I didn't install nvidia correctly, I tried to repeat all the process again but without using kiss-xorg [2024-01-21T01:42:20Z] <wannabekissuser> repository, which is a strange decision. That's the exact point where I am stuck now. Nvidia package doesn't build because of multiple errors, if I recall correctly they were connected with egl.h not being found. So instead of trying things blindly I figured I would try asking on reddit, then I was redirected here. So the question is, does anyone [2024-01-21T01:42:21Z] <wannabekissuser> have advice on how to install this kind of configuration, meaning xorg + nvidia (with gkiss of course). In what order the repos should be placed? A person on reddit suggested that I also provide nvidia building log and kernel config, but I no longer have that exact "installation" on my machine (started anew), though I can replicate this error of [2024-01-21T01:42:21Z] <wannabekissuser> course but I hoped I could avoid the hassle. Also my kernel config is mostly default, I remember checking (and enabling if disabled) settings for NVMe, ext4 and EFI support, I think that's all. If it is still necessary to provide it I would, just tell me where to upload it, not really sure. [2024-01-21T02:29:41Z] <ehawkvu> wannabekissuser: sewn: I'm pretty sure that you need a custom nvidia package (sewn used to maintain it in kiss-xorg, but dropped it after leaving) [2024-01-21T02:30:18Z] <ehawkvu> There are a few issues on kiss-xorg detailing how to have a nvidia setup (which maybe we ought to document on the wiki....) [2024-01-21T02:59:49Z] <thikkl> is /etc/fstab necessary for kiss to boot properly? [2024-01-21T03:01:13Z] <thikkl> The install guide doesn't mention anything about it, but both times I've had kiss successfully boot I had created one [2024-01-21T03:02:47Z] <thikkl> (just out of curiosity) [2024-01-21T04:07:35Z] <sewn> thikkl: no [2024-01-21T04:14:32Z] <thikkl> interesting [2024-01-21T04:16:43Z] <thikkl> I assumed it was necessary since the linux from scratch book lists it as one of the steps in "making the system bootable" [2024-01-21T04:55:14Z] <sad_plan> wym no sewn? having a correctly set up fstab is neccessary to properly boot the system. otherwise it wont find all partitions, unless specified in init perhaps.. [2024-01-21T07:45:39Z] <sewn> sad_plan: you already set root in kernel params [2024-01-21T07:45:49Z] <sewn> fstab is just there for remounting root ataik [2024-01-21T07:55:17Z] <sad_plan> yes, but that wont mount /home, or /boot (if you want) [2024-01-21T07:55:33Z] <sad_plan> no, init scripts remounts /root as ro, then rw, if setup this way ofcourse [2024-01-21T07:55:56Z] <sad_plan> kiss does this atleast. mine didnt, but now it does, because im running fsck on boot each time [2024-01-21T07:59:56Z] <sad_plan> fstab will also set permissions. kernel doesnt neccessarly do this the way you want. [2024-01-21T08:00:47Z] <sad_plan> but by all means, yes you can set root= in kernel params, and manually mount everything yourself when booting. its in no way shape or form convinient though [2024-01-21T11:17:39Z] <phoebos> wannabekissuser: it sounds like you haven't even got your bootloader running, what are you using, grub? efistub? [2024-01-21T16:09:28Z] <wannabekissuser> phoebos: I am using efistub, but that should probably not be the case, I used it with crux previously, and had almost the same experience, think I couldn't mess it up. It's more probable that I built nvidia, but somehow didn't enable module, so the driver wasn't even loaded
