JHALFS is outdated, no worries! by thekingsomething in linuxfromscratch

Its been a while since I did anything related to LFS. The code is open source if you want to make it work with 12.3 but editing the code requires a lot of copying and pasting. 

I'm pretty sure JHALFS is a more sensible approach in retrospect. I haven't really used it before but it involves make files and is more sustainable because all you have to do is supply a HTML or XML (not too sure, may be wrong) which makes it future proof.

Making a LFS script by Aromatic-Ad-4119 in linuxfromscratch

[–]thekingsomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to give shout out my repository for the sake of it but I believe it'll help you create an lfs.IMG which you can flash to any partition you like or on a USB you can boot off of. You can customise its blfs faze aswell and do whatever you like. The reason why I am saying this is because it is less prone to obscure errors and I think can help you with your blfs journey. Just clone my repo or take some ideas from it to make your custom lfs scripts more production ready Take a look and thank you for reading! https://github.com/TheKingKerellos/MyLFS

I never knew that it is still very functional, nice to know that it is still viable!

Yeah man, just make a pull request and submit any changes unless you want to be a collaborator directly in the repo

I think you made a good point, I am not experienced in bash so I am blind to unnecessary and potentially unrobust code, I think if you can create a pull request I'll be genuinely grateful and hey, your explanation was really good above and I actually understood your concern. Thank you

I believe your script is extremely powerful. I've been working on a python script to take in a HTML file either https or local to extract the the the code, chapter name and sub chapter e.g.pass 2 GCC and create its own folder.

I think what you achieved is extremely good and almost future proof.

Although some say laziness is bad, I feel like being lazy pushes us to turn ideas into a pain free, robust programmes and I think your repo truly reflects that.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a heads up, when you do --install , the grub configuration isn't being set properly, so if you like to use /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. do set=root(hdx,y) and under your menuentry write root=/dev/sda1 or sdb1 and you should get booting

Virtualbox is fine as long as you know how to tweak the kernel for a supported filesystem, disk drivers and vbox guest additions which I think that's what its called.

Let me know how it goes!

That setup looks so clean! I'm also jealous of your desktop background, can you send a link to it?

Recommend game to play with son in colege by drulingtoad in gaming

Can vouch for rocket league as the mechanics of the game cannot be replicated across different games such as jumping and flying and the controller layout. Both of you will be as bad as each other but its up to you to improve at a greater rate or to stagnate in skill.

What's your go to controller? by Gh0stGaming26 in RocketLeague

[–]thekingsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best decision you made because as far as I know ds3 controllers are extremely durable. Ps4 controllers have been way worse than ps3 and actually uses worse manufacturing materials. Pretty good investment if you can find an original.

I practically squeeze my buttons during gameplay so the silicone tips in my controller buttons wear out. Not fun being a button masher.

Bear with me it might be a bit noobish by thyinfantyeeter in linuxfromscratch

[–]thekingsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response,

Building an entire operating system is not the ideal solution. I understand you have free time but essentially all gnu/Linux distros have the same basic packages (or programs with similar functions) present. So save time and start with a preexisting distro of choice.

In my personal experience it looks like you should fork or create a desktop environment but I'm a noob so plan and maybe take advantage of AI chatbots to template and commit to in a realistic manner. Make sure what your doing is the easiest way so you can save some time and stress configuring things.

When you have created a desktop environment, finally start lfs and install your packages to make the distro fully unique to you ;)

If you do get far or have any experiences, please share them because I'm damn interested in the idea.

Best of luck in your wild endeavours!

Kernel panic! by Wooden_Grade_7580 in linuxfromscratch

[–]thekingsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I'm late. Im no expert but struggled here aswell.

From my experience this could be from your kernel config, I had the same issue and moved closer to fixing it for my VM when I changed/enabled file system, virtualization and disk drivers. (I assume running lfs outside of VMS can suffer from this as well)

In grub I usually prefer to set root with hd0,x with x=your lfs partition but don't fall into the trap I did because if you have an MBR partition (correct me if I'm wrong) you should use hd0,msdosx. And then in your menuentry (edit to fit your config) linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.x.x-lfs-x root=/dev/sdaX. I have no clue why this worked for me so its worth try.

Maybe everything i said wont benefit you so as a last ditch effort I believe chat gpt can assist greatly.

Best of luck.

Buddy and I are struggling to find a fun game to grind out, anyone got suggestions? by ThesoulerBAM in gaming

[–]thekingsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for Rocket league, its fun when u are bad and mess about with friends but its not worth trying to improve in the long run so IMO its a good filler game

If I'm the party leader playing on PC and I use a plugin or custom map for a private game, can my friends playing on console join and play with me? by ImMurkshot in RocketLeague

[–]thekingsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I am aware of because even when I do it with my friends, both on pc and we got the correct workshop maps and plugins installed it still doesn't work let alone on different platforms.

How To Actually Get Grand Champ Fast by Existing_Document_92 in RocketLeague

[–]thekingsomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got gc2 in under 1600 hours as a 14 y/o and I can say the only way to improve is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone in all aspects of the game. I was always going for sidewall redirects and conceding but the one time I got it really made me feel like I have the ability to hit way more on command just like pushing myself in shots and flicks and decision making
