[2023-11-04T07:46:09Z] <sewn> midfavila: I switched back to X for xfiles
[2023-11-04T07:46:19Z] <sewn> there's just not a comfy file manager on wl
[2023-11-04T07:46:35Z] <sewn> or a good image viewer (other than forcing mpv to be one)
[2023-11-04T07:46:46Z] <midfavila> color me shocked
[2023-11-04T07:46:54Z] <sewn> with what color
[2023-11-04T07:48:47Z] <midfavila> ecru
[2023-11-04T21:30:55Z] <Guest59> hey guys i tried installing kiss and i got past the loading linux stage but ended up with a blank screen. i could interact with stuff and could hear sound but couldn't see anything.
[2023-11-04T21:37:14Z] <Guest59> i tried enabling all the framebuffer drivers i could but maybe its a firmware issue
[2023-11-04T21:38:34Z] <illiliti> could be a drm driver issue
[2023-11-04T21:38:48Z] <Guest59> idk what it could be though
[2023-11-04T21:39:04Z] <Guest59> i saw CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM and enabled that
[2023-11-04T21:40:36Z] <illiliti> config_fb enabled? asking just in case
[2023-11-04T21:41:04Z] <Guest59> yeah took me a bit but got it enabled
[2023-11-04T21:41:42Z] <illiliti> config_fb_simple? config_fb_efi?
[2023-11-04T21:42:31Z] <Guest59> didn't know about fb_simple let me check that
[2023-11-04T21:44:22Z] <illiliti> check config_fb_vesa too
[2023-11-04T21:44:49Z] <illiliti> which gpu do you use, btw?
[2023-11-04T21:44:59Z] <Guest59> i know vesa is enabled and i checked simple and it was checked
[2023-11-04T21:45:24Z] <Guest59> im trying on an old pc, inspiron 660s i think integrated graphics
[2023-11-04T21:56:33Z] <Guest59> actually im looking at fb_simple and seeing that the first option for enabling support isn't able to be accessed even though i enabled all the requirements
[2023-11-04T22:03:21Z] <illiliti> it means that dependencies are unmet
[2023-11-04T22:03:50Z] <Guest59> idk what more requirements i need
[2023-11-04T22:04:43Z] <illiliti> if you are using menuconfig you can press shift+? and it will show
[2023-11-04T22:05:01Z] <illiliti> https://linux-hardware.org/?view=computers&vendor=Dell&model=Inspiron+660s
[2023-11-04T22:05:06Z] <illiliti> shame that these probes do not have kernel config attached
[2023-11-04T22:06:25Z] <illiliti> dmesg output might still be useful tho
[2023-11-04T22:10:58Z] <Guest59> hold on for a second almost done with dmesg
[2023-11-04T22:14:44Z] <Guest59> https://codeberg.org/saifgarasia/KISSLINUX
[2023-11-04T22:34:47Z] <illiliti> it's dmesg from arch iso, not from kiss, right?
[2023-11-04T22:34:52Z] <illiliti> also when i said dmesg might be useful i meant dmesg from those probes lol
[2023-11-04T22:35:20Z] <Guest59> oh i did my dmesg and not from the probes
[2023-11-04T22:36:06Z] <illiliti> no no, you don't need to do anything
[2023-11-04T22:36:36Z] <illiliti> i merely said that dmesg from those probes might be useful for you in some way(e.g to find missing module or smth)
[2023-11-04T22:36:47Z] <Guest59> oh ok sorry i don't do debugging a lot so im a little of a noob
[2023-11-04T22:39:13Z] <illiliti> all good. if you want to proceed, i think setting up sshd in kiss would be a good idea so you could debug it from there(if it boots at all)
[2023-11-04T22:40:08Z] <Guest59> i mean its like i just have to get past the black screen but otherwise the system works i just can't see it
[2023-11-04T22:41:38Z] <illiliti> then ssh server would be a best bet here to find out why you get black screen
[2023-11-04T22:42:50Z] <Guest59> yeah honestly ive spent all day for this install so i might just pick this up tomorrow
[2023-11-04T22:43:00Z] <Guest59> no homework so i have more time for this install
[2023-11-04T22:49:13Z] <Guest59> im hopping off but tomorrow ill try to debug and install sshd
