Would not making an unused partition with 30MB cause it not to boot properly? meaning no display?

Seems that was the problem, I only used 99% of the disk and I had no issues from there.

@quickfur I only use JWM its both very fast and low memory usage. I feel like it uses the least cpu power of any of the wm or de.

Btw, the difference between JWM and other window managers? It has a nice bottom panel even without jwmkit, but with jwmkit, its 100x better still.

It really don't use much cpu power or ram as said even then.

@The_Amnesiac_Philosopher yep precisely.

He prepared a trollfest for his heirs for when he died. tongue

Before the internet, that might as well have been considered trolling. xD

@golinux probably it seemed vague to him.

Just clarify by saying everyone is to act like an adult if needed. Just a suggestion.

Up to you tho!

Yeah, I left windows because 8 was:

A: ugly

B: When I got the 8.1 upgrade, I became heavily suspicious due to the ram increase by 3X!

C: Someone I knew said that they were in an ibm meeting and asked if windows had a backdoor and everyone was silent!

That's what drove me to linux.

Although, if I had a choice between redhat's garbage and proprietary software pure and simple.

I would probably be hard pressed, but still pick the redhat method. Thankfully, I don't need to though!

Good lord is that a relief.

Although linux is starting to get ugly with their desktop environments.

Only one I would ever tolerate now is Lumina Desktop.

The others are just too bloated. Even LXDE or XFCE4. I realize now they were not my style.

Hyperbola, Devuan, OpenBSD are my primary options as of now for operating systems. Unless I am desperate in which case, I will use Trisquel as a last resort.

That would be the systemd distro I trust most. But thats such a low bar to clear for me.

There is one time organic is not preferred, something like maple syrup that comes out of a wild tree, or if its seafood, or meat (assuming you know someone trustworthy to give you the wild meat!)

@The-Amnesiac-Philospher Okay dude, that one is my favourite so far...

man... that one makes me smile.

I haven't felt such amusement since seeing the ending of A Night of Fright is No Delight.

Hint:   The person leaves a will for his heirs, but even after death the heirs get trolled hard by that same will.

@golinux yeah, kind of bizzaro right? Although I was much more unstable during the trump years  lol. I also... didn't know I had a massive ego problem then either. If I don't know a problem, then I can't address it.  I kept putting bandages on my problems when in reality sadly, I needed to just have the root (pride) uprooted entirely. Not that it won't try to grow again. Its an endless problem... well mostly anyhow. It gets easier to uproot each next time I think though

I am embarrassed how long it took me to see this problem though lol.

@JWM-Kit

That's definitely what they want I think though  anyhow.

That looks like it was the intention of the Code of conduct.

#509 Re: News & Announcements » The dev1galaxy.org (almost) No Code of Conduct » 2024-01-07 17:54:39

@golinux despite by failings and rants sometimes, I am smart enough to agree with you there.

There are many examples even outside of politics, but I will be vague otherwise it becomes a rant to you.

Yeah, maturity is not a number.

Btw, didn't see this new code of conduct whenever you made it. I apologize.

Edit: I seem to have not noticed this happened in 2016. I wish I had looked, must have happened when I wasn't looking.

#510 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2024-01-07 17:47:53

@golinux sorry then, it is a habit of mine. Feel free to delete that part or all of the post if you want.

Btw, I probably should re-read the code of conduct, I sometimes forget... as I emailed you.

#511 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2024-01-07 06:16:19

@quickfur Europe has the best structure towards copyright of the ones that enforce it. Now I will shut up too, feel free to pm me if you wish to talk more. lol

#512 Re: Off-topic » waylandows is crap » 2024-01-07 06:00:45

This post I agree with completely for sure. Windows is indeed a crap. Pity he cannot respond here anymore. I don't know if he is perma or not.

#513 Re: Other Issues » Technical discussion of the Wayland protocol or implementation » 2024-01-07 05:55:55

Let me see... if I have a choice between xorg and wayland, which would I choose...

Preferably, neither and xenocara. Otherwise, xorg.

wayland shouldn't be adopted by nearly every other distro in the world until it is just as stable even if it is more secure.

At least by stable distros anyways, yet here we are.

#514 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2024-01-07 05:52:03

@quickfur Nvm, I may have said too much thus, I am editing.

#515 Re: ARM Builds » [SOLVED] Video display not working, via rockpro64 » 2024-01-07 05:47:42

Actually, I think I found out why I kept failing... I forgot to make an unused partition with 30MB

#516 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2024-01-06 02:21:56

Btw, if you do have arm64 images for installing on a rockpro64, can you tell me what you recommend for installing it correctly?

Instructions another words. I read their website, but wasn't all too clear. Although, its possible I missed the 30MB unused partition part and thats why it failed lol.

Tried with devuan tho.

#517 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-01-06 02:19:08

Lots of groaners, but whenever I want one, I will come here for them.

#518 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2024-01-06 02:18:07

@quickfur I was going to come down on you like a ton of bricks, but I saw your second post after mine and I realize you aren't doing what this one annoying pest did on my mastodon feed and saying this bunch of propaganda like he did.

What he is said is that old tired lying slogan of:

"sugar is sugar your body can't tell the difference"

This person also said that, I was being given propaganda from health food stores or w/e.

Ironically, he was the one giving propaganda...

Irony sometimes seems to have no bounds. Liars exist everywhere... some realize they are lying, some don't and some don't care or a mixture.

Anywho, yeah, there might be bad actors in the organic market. those naked drinks, I recall hearing they had their organic status revoked at one point for doing stuff like that...

Naked drinks as in, these are smoothies that were sold. Just a brand really.

#519 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Upcoming browser changes » 2024-01-05 08:37:41

Yeah, discourse is a pile of horse crap. Although, javascript never was a good idea to use for the web anyhow.

The creators of discourse and webcomponents, are trying to solve a problem they created. No one should program anything like the web with any programming languages that are bloated or screwed up. Actually, EDIT: not merely screwed up, SCREWED UP on MULTIPLE levels!

lol.

#520 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2024-01-05 08:35:03

Having alnost a third of the public be uneducated and being able to vote and believing whatever trash people pull our of their ass, will keep this stuff going for many years to come if history is any guide.

More on topic though, I avoid the really processed crap as much as possible. Hell, I try to go all organic.

#521 Re: Off-topic » How hard. » 2024-01-05 08:30:33

Seems I missed some fun threads with a bunch of nonsense...

Damn, lol.

Btw, I don't see a reason to completely ban him, he was probably just way too high on coke when he was posting lately.

Then again, I will also say it is not my choice. Just my two cents.

I was speaking of for palemoon, basilisk-browser, iceweasel-uxp and similar.

Basically, XUL web browsers these fixes help with.

If you not having problems, with discourse, then no need to worry.

Yes, zapper, gnuinos will support arm sooner rather than later.

If you do support arm sooner than later and it works well enough, I could potentially install on my rockpro64!

Yes the issue with the time templates was a silly mistake. It shows the difference a single character can make when coding. in this case it was matter of lowercase vs uppercase.

For those who don't know what we are talking about.  The suggested templates for the tray clock used months instead of minutes.  This meant the minutes were only correct once per hour as they only change once a day. An embarrassing mistake, but one that was easy to make.

I have made embarrassing mistakes too,

something as simple as leaving apostrophes, like this:

MODULES="i915"

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … el_modules

Was enough to make my system unbootable.

That frustrated me one hundred + times almost before I sought help to learn that was the problem.

Something so small can cause huge headaches eh?

Not sure what you mean by discourse websites; the sites that don't work for me are sites that use things like Chrome-specific ways of doing video/audio via complex JS code. I've no idea how one might work around this dependency.

Also, what I don't expect in my lifetime is the ability to browse online, without any handicap or loss of functionality, with keyboard only, zero mouse use. I don't believe there's a big audience for this even among those who prefer no corporation driven designs.

The discourse websites, such as nitrokey's forum or, mnt research forum, the creators of the mnt reform design anotherwords.

https://community.mnt.re/

https://support.nitrokey.com/

You may notice the your web browser isn't up to date nonsense and how you need to upgrade to browse happy bs.

There are fixes for some of those websites. It requires modify http response and specific filters such as this:

[["/^/",["/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/^\\/assets\\/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

Palemoon forums users have figured this out, which is awesome.
