frinnst: when i run into growing databases, i cant get approval to upgrading storage
<joacim>
for
<joacim>
not like they're growing at an unreasonable speed either, but need more than 100GB, and there just isn't any room on the host.
<joacim>
that's after cleaning up the mess after someone overprovisioning storage. I find that a lot too
<joacim>
1TB host, VMs that total 2TB in potential size

hello. i am new to crux... when i run it, my console screen resolution gets too small to read when the graphics card kicks in. is there a way to adjust my console screen resolution?
<joacim>
you need a framebuffer driver. probably should use uvesafb, or whichever is native to uefi and/or your gpu
<Guest35>
I am running a legacy boot and I believe I have framebuffer driver.
<Guest35>
currently, i just do setfont and point to /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ but it would be nice to change the actual resolution of the console
<joacim>
it usually picks a compatible resolution when you have a more suitable framebuffer driver
<Guest35>
how do I install a framebuffer driver??...
<joacim>
kernel config. did you make your own config?
<Guest35>
yes, i made my own config and my fbdriver is i915drmfb
<tilman>
mmh, don't you just choose a differently sized font in the kernel config instead of changing the resolution?
<Guest35>
where is that under in kernel config?
<tilman>
try grepping .config for FONT
<tilman>
or /FONT in menuconfig
<Guest35>
i get config_font_support=y, config_fonts not set, config_font_8x8=y, config_font_8x16=y
<Guest35>
this is in .config for kernel

hello... is there a list of a minimal set of packages to be installed for crux? I would rather install a minimal set and do a sysup and then add whatever else I need.

<pedja>
core is minimal, opt is, well, optional :)
<Guest35>
is the whole core needed for a minimal?
<pedja>
yes
<Guest35>
cool. and i want to add wifi, just add wpa_supplicant?

<pedja>
or iwd, whichever you prefer
<pedja>
(caveat being that I stopped using Crux years ago, this is all from (failing) memory :))
<Guest35>
i feel bad for asking a basic question but what is the difference between a crux package and crux port. from what i understand a port creates a package to be installed. are packages stored on the system or deleted after they are installed??
<Guest35>
pedja, what do you use now if you don't use crux?
<pedja>
openSUSE Leap
<pedja>
yup, package is the result of port. check the manual at crux.nu, might explain a few things
<pedja>
Crux ports are inspired by FreebSD ones, so if you are familiar with that, it's a similar concept
<Guest35>
pedja, why switch to SUSE? isn't crux more exciting? or you just want work done?
<pedja>
after a decade+ of using it, I needed a change :)
<pedja>
learned a truckton while using it, too

Guest35, ports indeed build packages. where the packages are stored depends on your config. by default they're stored in the directory of the port that created them, but it can be changed by setting PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR in your pkgmk.conf
