07:04 <chipps_> Okay guys I think I have a problem. I have a new archlinux install, and I can't seem to run river anymore. This is the error message I'm getting: http://ix.io/3HMZ

07:05 <chipps_> I am able to use gdm to login to xfce, where I am right now. I don't see what the problem with the gpu is. I'm using x11 just fine

07:49 <novakane> chipps_: dou you have mesa installed?

07:55 <chipps_> novakane: yes. I think I have them installed

07:59 <novakane> you're using nvidia?

08:06 <chipps_> yes. I am using the proprietary driver

08:06 <chipps_> I couldn't get nouveau to work

08:08 <novakane> ah yeah could be the problem

08:11 <chipps_> yooo I figured it out

08:12 <chipps_> I had to add a kernel parameter to enable drm modesetting

08:21 <novakane> nice :)

09:58 <ifreund> you must not be using the standard arch linux kernel then...

10:17 <dnkl> the proprietary nvidia driver has always required kms to be explicitly enabled

15:00 <novakane> did you guys saw this forks, not much yet but could be interesting https://github.com/Natchuz/wmoon

15:35 <ifreund> We'll have lua/moonscript/whatever scripting too eventually, just with a different architecture

15:36 <ifreund> heh, it seems they didn't like my arg parser

15:36 <ifreund> I think that fork will have quite a different philosophy, which means a fork was the right call

15:41 <ifreund> xD

15:43 <tiosgz_> i guess i'll end up with river eventually :D though that depends on how its protocol will look like

15:44 <tiosgz_> or perhaps write yet another redundant compositor

15:53 <novakane> well the important part is not writing a new abandonned compositor :P

15:55 <novakane> ifreund: well I guess clap is easier, or at least less works

15:55 <leon-p> the /actual/ important part is coming up with a WM protocol that works well enough that there don't need to be that many new compositors :D

16:00 <novakane> there always the need of new compositor that"s how life works :D

16:00 <novakane> think of the ricers :P
