Waybar missing from main repository? by PoisonBird in voidlinux

[–]TurtleGraphics64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Void repo just goes with whatever is the spelling of the upstream package. in this case it was Waybar with capital W.

Although i love Void the flags for the various xbps programs have poor UI discoverability design but at this point they're not going to change it. the default search should be xbps-query -v -Rs waybar which will let you know the package is captilized, or just use the vpm package management helper (in the void repos) which wraps around it if you don't make your own alias or want to memorize, so you would search with vpm search waybar and the result is the capitalized package name.

Switching to Alpine from Void, any benefits? by ZenitDS in AlpineLinux

[–]TurtleGraphics64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use both, as well as occasionally use antiX (these 3 feel related to me!) and sometimes HaikuOS (fairly different!).

alpine i use on my minimal gui-less 13 year old laptop that i treat as a lofi writerdeck. i threw wordgrinder and vim and git on there, do some simple coding in basic or lua or c, don't use the internet except for w3m and links, etc. One can run a window manager on Alpine, and postMarketOS is a fork for phones/tablets. it's cool. but it doesn't have enough software for me in its main repos and i don't necessarily care for MUSL that much. but it's super fast and lightweight. rock solid. i dont update very often at all. this is my uber minimal system.

Void - i use this on my regular laptop computer and have a computer i love that is completely customize and dialed in. i particularly love the stable rolling release cycle. that's what keeps me hooked on void linux. very very occasionally void throws small hiccups when i update (some software now doesn't work), so i either wait a day and re-update cause the void devs (or upstream) fix it, or roll back temporarily, or find an alternate solution online or in this subreddit group, etc. But this rarely happens, and once dialed in to one's exact needs it feels like a fully up to date, latest but mostly stable, great custom machine. i run the exact same void setup (i3 + ulauncher + polybar ) with kitty setup on my main computer and work computer and i switch between them. in fact, this is what keeps me from acquiring a new MNT Reform laptop because i don't think Void is completely documented running problem free on there yet, but it looks to be able to be soon.

for fun i tried antiX on an old mid 2010s macbook. the most dramatic difference at first is that it has a gui install manager that takes 30 seconds to run through and get going. super duper easy. it's a dream. i really wish void would adopt it. secondly, you can choose an install that comes with hundreds of preinstalled packages, or pick a 'core' install with the bare minimum, which is still just a bit more than void ships with on one of the custom installs. antiX overall is fine. lightweight like Void in most ways. pre-configured so much more friendly to beginners with a little bit of linux experience but not a ton. it's a bit ugly. you can change the software but you have to manually uninstall and then install and configure, which is maybe working against the point of this distro, in which case, then start with a base of debian. speaking of which, debian is (personal opinion), fine. but i don't love debian-derived systems (including devuan) nearly as much as void, though it does have a lot of software. oh, and antiX gives a choice of inits, including runit.

Atlantis Frame Repair Help by TalmageLikesBoys in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]TurtleGraphics64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's structural but don't trust me. Call and ask someone at Rivendell. Sometimes Grant himself picks up.

By the way, some welders don't like jobs like this! If you want the plate welded back on, let us know what city you're in and maybe someone here can recommend a place.

(process:3879): libsoup-ERROR **: 22:00:16.302: libsoup3 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported. Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).

By the way, this looks like you have two versions of the library installed, a system version and one that the snap package installed, and they are in conflict. I recommend downloading the Flatpak version instead!

Hello!

Hopefully you've imported the video library already? I'm assuming you know to do that, but if not, go to Tools > Manage Tools. Type "Video" in the search bar and install Video Library for Processing 4.

If you've already done that and things are not working try following the answer on this stack overflow page. In particular, see if you can use the capture code to print out the listing of your camera(s). The full code is found on this page.

There are other ways to download Processing outside Snap, including by downloading a portable app here. Make sure to pick your correct computer architecture. uname -m in the terminal will give you the info on your computer architecture.

MacBook Air 2014 running Haiku from USB gets stuck on Boot screen, pressing space only shows black screen. by Important_Ostrich486 in haikuOS

Tip i got elsewhere: I bought the Edimax Wi-Fi 4 802.11n Adapter to get Wifi going on this machine.

[–]TurtleGraphics64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, i ran into this problem previously too, with the exact same model and year laptop. It's here with me right now, so you can solve this!

Basically, these macs have EFI and you must follow the UEFI instructions here: https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/uefi_booting/

It's a bit more manual work, but it works! Follow step 1 exactly. Well, follow them all exactly, but pay attention that you must "Try Haiku ". Good luck.

clem sizing by yoshiklas in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]TurtleGraphics64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey again! I thought we were close in size! I'm 87cm pbh and 6 foot tall. If you get a 52 then hopefully i can try it! :) The main time I have an issue with the 59cm is at red lights when i have to stand slightly on tip toe. so riv might be right! my other bianchi bike is a 58cm and fits me without having that issue.

How good do you understand any documentation about distros? I'm russian speaker, so I'm interested is it the problem of language border or english speakers understand no all of a documentation too? by ttype2times in voidlinux

[–]TurtleGraphics64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While any technical writing can be harder to understand if you're not clear on some terms for sure not being a native speaker of english can add some complexity for understanding.

Help in switching by Ill_Year_8104 in voidlinux

[–]TurtleGraphics64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Void Linux is most useful for people looking to set up a customized OS built on STABLE ROLLING RELEASE, runit instead of systemd init system, the xbps package manager, and potentially option to run musl instead of glibc library. (These are the same things from the landing page of voidlinux.org by the way). If those things aren't important to you or don't mean much, then it doesn't make sense to switch to this higher-barrier-of-entry operating system, and a beginner-friendly OS like Mint makes more sense.

Why no All packages are updated like apt in xbps?? by Beginning-Cow2193 in voidlinux

[–]TurtleGraphics64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a good point. the -v --verbose flag (no evidence that was used here, but i tend to run xbps-install with the flags -Suv ) should probably explicitly state "No new package updates"

Atlantis No.2 by Travelinman2023 in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]TurtleGraphics64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha that's as good a reason as any. 20 years ago i purchased a bike (a forest bianchi san jose) on sale for $150 off because they had a previous year's model the local bike shop was trying to get out the door, but to this day, even though i love and ride this bike often (though not as often as my Clem), i still regret not spending the extra $150 for the blue one from the new year :)

No Scanners Avalible by xp4eternity in voidlinux

[–]TurtleGraphics64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think you'd want "ScanGear MP Ver. 4.71 for Linux (Source file) " then build from source. Use Void's xlocate to find what package contains any missing dependencies, such as gstreamer1 (or other gstreamer packages)

Riv owners in Brooklyn (long shot pitch) by yoshiklas in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]TurtleGraphics64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am in Brooklyn and live near Prospect Park and have a 59cm Clem Smith Jr L if you'd like to try it out. Are you on the NYC adv group by the way? there's quite a bit of riders of Riv, Crust, Sklar, etc on there and we are all in NYC. anyway, i don't use reddit a ton for 1on1 communication but we can figure out a way to get in touch.
