anyone ever tried to get xdg-utils on kiss?
<sewn>
it needs a bunch of depends which i have trouble building, bash, xml{to,lib2}, docbook, perl and all that stuff
<sewn>
is there some form of alternative other than writing own xdg-open script?

emmatebibyte: I'm pretty sure that's a kernel issue, not sure which module is missing
<emmatebibyte>
maybe i should just install the artix linux kernel or something
<Doomking>
I ran into that issue before and I enabled a frame buffer module and it worked
<emmatebibyte>
ah ty
<emmatebibyte>
ill try that

eating a late lunch first, ill let yall know how it goes
<Doomking>
If you're installing on UEFI, make sure to get FB_EFI with FB
<Doomking>
Just in case, I enabled "Simple Framebuffer" but not sure if this did anything, but just glad my system booted up lol
<emmatebibyte>
i had FB_EFI and FB both enabled so i enabled Simple Framebuffer and am about to compile
<Doomking>
Hopefully that fixes the issue!
<emmatebibyte>
i really hope so too, since i have to fly to Florida tomorrow lol
<emmatebibyte>
it works! it gets stuck at loading initial ramdisk now
<emmatebibyte>
so ig i need tinyramfs :3
<Doomking>
Yup!
<emmatebibyte>
dang. i created the initramfs file in /boot and it’s sticking at “Loading initial ramdisk...”
<emmatebibyte>
hmm
<Doomking>
I don't use initramfs, so I can't really help out with this issue. Sorry about that.
<emmatebibyte>
its ok
<emmatebibyte>
its not actually supposed to be using initramfs
<emmatebibyte>
this is weird
<Doomking>
I just disabled initramfs
<emmatebibyte>
its disabled in my kernel config
<emmatebibyte>
it was grub doing stuff
<Doomking>
huh, that is weird
<emmatebibyte>
ok yea its still stuck at loading linux
<emmatebibyte>
but at least i know it can run commands past that?
<emmatebibyte>
grub can
<Doomking>
grub?
<emmatebibyte>
yea, since it attempted to load in initramfs
<emmatebibyte>
it was part of the grub command line thing
<Doomking>
Like did it prompt you to a grub command line?
<emmatebibyte>
no, it was inside the default grub config for loading my kernel is what i mean
<emmatebibyte>
it was like
<emmatebibyte>
linux /dev/sda3 r
<emmatebibyte>
initrd /boot/initramfs
<emmatebibyte>
etc

oh the grub.cfg
<emmatebibyte>
yea
<emmatebibyte>
bweh
<emmatebibyte>
taking a break for now
<Doomking>
any luck?
<emmatebibyte>
no
<Doomking>
that sucks :(
<emmatebibyte>
i copied the artix kernel over and it kernel panicked
<Doomking>
How did you copy the artix kernel?
<Doomking>
Surely, you didn't just grab the vmlinuz and System.map right?
<emmatebibyte>
lol, i definitely did do that
<emmatebibyte>
though there is no System.map for Artix
<emmatebibyte>
apparently
<emmatebibyte>
or i didnt see one in /boot
<Doomking>
Usually distros like those such as Arch, Debian, even Gentoo have their own initram file that it just won't work with your machine
<Doomking>
The best thing that you could do if you want Artix kernel is grab their kernel .config and use that to build your own kernel
<emmatebibyte>
ahh
<Doomking>
You can easily build your own kernel without spending an excessive amount of time using "make localyesconfig"
<Doomking>
and just go into "make menuconfig" and search for it and enable it
<Doomking>
It's not the best way, but at least it'll get your machine up and running, later you can further customize your kernel config afterwards
<emmatebibyte>
yea ive been messing with the kernel on this machine for months now ;-;
<emmatebibyte>
ive tried that as well as defconfig
<Doomking>
What kernel version are you using
<emmatebibyte>
6.9 something
<Doomking>
Yeah, I use "make defconfig" with "make localyesconfig" that should be enough
<Doomking>
the current stable is 6.5.2
<Doomking>
6.6 hasn't been released yet, not sure how you got 6.9 lol
<emmatebibyte>
i think it might be 6.1.9 or somethin
<Doomking>
ahh okay
<emmatebibyte>
i have a little bit of dyscalculia
<emmatebibyte>
just stepped away from the pc for a break
<emmatebibyte>
as i said, ive been on this for months
<Doomking>
yeah, I spent a good amount of hours with kiss linux
<emmatebibyte>
just the kernel, i know how to set up the rest of the system just fine but ive never messed with compiling my own kernel
<Doomking>
I can try to help you with setting up your kernel
<emmatebibyte>
i would appreciate that
<emmatebibyte>
i gotta do some quick packing but ill be back
<Doomking>
Are you in a Live ISO right?
<Doomking>
okay
<emmatebibyte>
yea live Artix
