SiFuh, not bad!! Of all Crux artwork, the penguin is my favorite. It has the Swedish "flavor" :)
<Guest3555>
Maybe the original creator of the penguin can produce bigger versions of it or let somebody work off the original image.
<SiFuh>
I did plan on drawing and colouring it by hand then scan and modify, but no time.

Per Liden
<SiFuh>
As far as I know, will know where it came from
<Guest3555>
SiFuh, do you know how to build alternative kernels and have them coexist on the same crux system? for example, i want to start with a big kernel and make a smaller kernel and be able to boot into either kernel.
<SiFuh>
Everyone knows here
<SiFuh>
Depends on what boot loader you use and what kernels you have
<SiFuh>
We have lilo, grub, efibootmgr and syslinux that I am aware of

<Guest3555>
i use grub with dos (legacy) boot.
<SiFuh>
And I am kind of anti grub and also not a grub user
<Guest3555>
i am open to lilo
<Guest3555>
or syslinux
<SiFuh>
To be honest I only know of syslinux
<SiFuh>
Others can assist your with grub configuration
<Guest3555>
that's fine. how do i do it with syslinux?
<Guest3555>
i created two kernels and two sytem.map files for each. however, i think both point to the same /modules directory.
<SiFuh>
Oh okay, no you will need to separate them
<SiFuh>
Maybe name one as bloated, one as modular, one as light
<SiFuh>
So under menuc config when configuring the kernel there is General setup ---> () Local version - append to kernel release
<SiFuh>
menu*
<Guest3555>
oh, okay, that should separate all assets for each version of kernel?
<SiFuh>
Yes, so 5.15.12 will become 5.15.12<-foo>
<Guest3555>
that makes sense. i was just renaming the actual kernel file.
<SiFuh>
Put a hyphen or under score in front
<SiFuh>
It will also create modules/5.15.12>-foo>
<SiFuh>
modules/5.15.12<-foo> *
<Guest3555>
Great! I think I got it.
<SiFuh>
I have a kernel build port but grub is not really supported yet since I don't use grub or test it
<Guest3555>
SiFuh, another question... When my Intel driver module kicks in, the resolution becomes tiny so it is a pain to work in the console before launching x. Is there a way to tell the driver to use a lower resolution?
<SiFuh>
Your screen is HiDPI ?
<Guest3555>
Oh, cool. I will try out your kernel port. is it published on crux website?
<SiFuh>
No
<SiFuh>
repo yenjie/ckut
<SiFuh>
If you are using a high definition screen like 4k or something you can try adding the line FONT=latarcyrheb-sun32 to /etc/rc.conf
<Guest3555>
my laptop monitor defaults to 1080p
<Guest3555>
i have been able to change font but it would be nice to change the actual resolution.
<SiFuh>
Oh okay, that I can't say. Not a grub user
<Guest3555>
but it is not grub. grub or another bootloader sets the resolution at the boot options but when the driver takes over, it sets its own resolution. that is my understanding.
<Guest3555>
hi SiFuh, i think all that resolution is before the graphics driver kicks in. i was able to change my starting resolution but then it changes when graphics driver kicks in.

how do i use a closer mirror for my repository syncs?
farkuhar has joined #crux
<farkuhar>
Guest3555: your intel video driver might be configurable with an entry in /etc/modprobe.d , check out the documentation for that kernel module.
<Guest3555>
farkuhar, thank you. I will check it out.

when i startx, I get xauth: file /home/user/.serverauth.323 does not exist
<Guest3555>
How can I fix it?...
<farkuhar>
Guest3555: there should be a more verbose record of the startup process in /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Copy the contents of that file to a pastebin site (dpaste.com is a common one), and then come back here with the URL.
<farkuhar>
Guest49: your log file doesn't contain any lines indicating an error fatal to the X server. The first error message you shared was console output, I take it?
<Guest49>
you are right. it is not a fatal error because the server starts. it is a console output before starting the server and delays the start by 3 or 5 seconds
<farkuhar>
yes, xauth will provide a status report even for circumstances that it can handle on its own. I can't imagine that the entirety of a 3--5 second delay is attributable to xauth, though. Some of it might be the detection of input devices and allowable video modes.
<Guest49>
makes sense. what is the reason xauth says that file does not exist? is it due to a permission problem?
<farkuhar>
the startx script that comes with xorg-xinit takes a more tortuous route than is necessary in most cases. stenur provided a slimmed-down version on this channel several months ago. but I suspect what's happening is that the xauth command had no business being run at that time, and the script failed to check the necessary condition before branching there.

that now can deal with Xorg.wrap and will use the unprivileged one if the user is in video and input groups. http://ix.io/3Pau
<stenur>
Note that CRUX rc is buggy and should "/bin/mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix /tmp/.X11-unix
<stenur>
.X11 is missing in default yet. Not harmful on single user system but meh.
<stenur>
Also it now calls "setterm --blank 10" again after X returns because i915 driver is buggy and clears the setting
<stenur>
Unfortunately you can not ask for the setting to restore the default from a shell script. Have not looked that much though.
<stenur>
Yeah and i opened that thing months ago, and after months they closed it saying i915 bugs shall be reported at freedesktop. But really, then why do not write that in kernel bugzilla's i915 entry? For the same man to handle the bug that is me thinks .. but i might be wrong. Sigh.
<stenur>
That CRUX bug i also reported some weeks ago btw.
