#voidlinux — Public Fediverse posts

First time doing a desktop installation with #voidlinux. This was surprisingly painless.

Has anybody used Void on an old i5 Intel iMac? Would it work out of the box?

Wednesday, so likely #Brave Browser release and sure enough, 1.93.136 is available. I updated the #voidlinux #voidpackages compatible templates for the original browser and the Origin browser in the abyss-packages repo at https://codeberg.org/mobinmob/abyss-packages/

someone gave me a non functioning m.2 ssd which was labeled as 512GB in size. They said they couldn't get a computer to even boot to bios.

20 minutes and sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda status=progress bs=4M and I'm now running a fresh install of void linux on it ;-)

I missed that #Brave released 1.93.134 on Friday (yesterday). Makes me think something was so urgent it couldn't wait. Haven't had time to research, but this is an update you probably want to take.

#void-packages #voidlinux #void-linux templates in that repo have been updated today to handle these releases for those using void-packages.

Sin cambios desde la ultima vez (ya no tengo nada que cambiar la verdad),mismo escritorio aburrido y simple de toda la vida.

Okay, I have internet trouble. On both my desktop and my laptop, I can connect, to my home wi-fi, but not to any other wi-fi point, including tethering to my phone.

I suspect this has been an issue since I switched to @[email protected] but I haven't confirmed it until today.

I have NetworkManager installed and launching automatically on boot. In Plasma's tray, I can see the wi-fi icon. I can see many wi-fi networks available to connect to. I can connect to them. But if I connect to any wi-fi network except my home router, I am told I am connected and that the data rate is 0 bytes/s download and 0 bytes/s upload.

Restarting NetworkManager makes no difference, nor does rebooting.

sudo sv status NetworkManager

Spent about 2 hours switching my laptop to #voidlinux only.to discover, it is currently on the one single version of KDE, that flashbangs you when you snap windows (6.6.3)

Wanted to switch my PC today, but I guess I'll wait until they move to 6.7

#brave released 1.93.129 this week. I updated the #voidlinux #void-packages compatible templates in the https://codeberg.org/mobinmob/abyss-packages #codeberg repo.

Sin cambios desde la ultima vez,solo algunos ligeros retoques, aun sigo en #VoidLinux con musl.

Okay fedi, I need help using my 8bitdo Ultimate C wired gaming controller on my desktop.

I recall doing some fiddling a few years ago and I got it to work with Mint. I don't remember what I did. A month ago I tried using it again on Debian and it didn't work. I have now switched to Void, where it also doesn't work.

Google and DDG results are dominated by discussion of connecting wireless controllers over Bluetooth. Many of them say things like "as a fallback, you can plug your controller in through a USB port and it will work automatically." Except...it doesn't work. My controller is wired only (I don't think it supports bluetooth at all).

So, let's start with the first test. If I plug my controller into my phone, running stock Android, it works automatically with no configuration required. I tested it with the Android version of @[email protected] . So I know the controller itself is not broken.

According to the official instruction manual, when plugging it in to a Raspberry Pi, you must hold 'B' until the controller's light turns on and stays on (not blinking). I do this when plugging it in to my computer. Here's what lsusb shows.

#voidlinux Brave void-packages users: 1.9.2.143 went out Wednesday, 1.92.144 on Friday. My templates for their browsers in the https://codeberg.org/mobinmob/abyss-packages repo was updated for both.

Доброго времени суток, федивёрс. Пишу вам по такому вопросу: Хочу немного наладить систему (разграничить системные пакеты от пользовательских, но используя минимум сторонник пакетников).

В чём суть: Хоть я и являюсь единственным пользователем на своей железке, я иногда не горю желанием кроме обновления системных пакетов обновлять ещё и игры/утилиты и прочее, поэтому появилось желание как-то отделить одно от другого, "то, что нужно системе" от "того, что нужно именно мне", но так, чтобы можно было с меньшим количеством проблем обновить то, что мне нужно.

Если GUI'шные приложения (по типу GIMP, Steam, Krita, Inkscape и пр.) можно запихать в AppImage в ~/Applications, важные для работы системы пакеты — в корень, а что делать мне с cli приложениями, которые нужны мне, но не системе? Стоит ли мне использовать для такого proot и вбивать xbps-<команда> -r <директория-с-локальным-корнем>? А также куда мне помещать игры/приложения, у которых нет ни template, ни AppImage (как пример, какие-нибудь windows игры, утилиты, или папки, имеющие программу и необходимые для неё библмотеки)? Тоже ~/Applications? Или ~/.local/opt/<app-name>? Или пытаться упаковать в AppImage?

P.S: Flatpak я не исключаю, если что.
P.P.S: Для установки некоторых библиотек (lua, python, Ruby и пр.) буду использовать соответствующие пакетники, ибо они (щачастую) позволяют в local-only.

Есть ли у кого какие-нибудь идеи как решить такую "проблему"? (Nix не предлагать).

For reasons, I’ve been neglecting to write about what I’ve been doing. I’ll catch up at some point, at least with the more interesting parts. But, ignoring the “why, ” let me at least explain the “what” (you can play detective and figure out the hardware).

Unsurprisingly, this is #VoidLinux with #niri, #waybar, #mako for notifications, and #fuzzel for the app launcher. Besides browsers and graphics editors, I only have a couple of GUI programs installed.

#NotFullyLiveVoidPosting #DesktopFriday

Debian stable has about 38,000 source packages (as counted by repology (which includes Debian's non-free repositories).

Void has about 9200 source packages.

So in switching from Debian to Void, I might have expected many packages I was using to not be available. But it turns out it was the other way around:

Almost every non-game deb package I deliberately installed is available in Void. The outliers are things I installed and maybe used once before forgetting about them (and one of those exceptions is popcon, which is Debian-specific).

Conversely, there are a lot of applications I use which I currently get from flatpak or a distrobox container, which are available in Void.

Note that I specified "non-game apps." It turns out Debian has a lot of old FOSS games which have had no upstream maintenance for 15+ years but still work. Void doesn't have very many of those, since Void is a newer distro. If I want to play any of those games, I'll install a Debian distrobox.

I just gotta get my webcam working and then I will switch my Desktop over to Void.

📦🐧 Fă cunoștință cu Caerus: Un manager de pachete grafic bazat pe GTK4 pentru Void Linux, inspirat de legendarul SynapticDistribuția independentă Void Linux este extrem de apreciată în comunitatea open-source pentru simplitatea sa, utilizarea sistemului de inițializare ultra-rapid runit și, mai ales, pentru managerul său nativ de pachete extrem de rapid, XBPS (X Binary Package System). Totuși, XBPS a fost întotdeauna controlat exclusiv din terminal — până acum.Pentru utilizatorii care preferă confortul unei interfețe grafice, dar nu vor să renunțe la controlul granular asupra sistemului, a apărut Caerus. Acesta este un manager de pachete modern, construit în GTK4 și Libadwaita, inspirat direct de clasicul și robustul Synaptic (folosit de decenii în ecosistemul Debian).Iată ce face din Caerus o adiție excelentă pentru ecosistemul Void Linux:🔹 Interfață modernă și fluidă cu GTK4 și LibadwaitaSpre deosebire de vechile aplicații grafice care foloseau toolkit-uri învechite, Caerus este dezvoltat folosind cele mai noi standarde vizuale de la GNOME. Designul este curat, adaptiv și oferă un mod întunecat (dark mode) nativ impecabil, integrându-se perfect în orice mediu desktop modern.🔹 Control complet în stilul „Synaptic”Caerus nu este doar un simplu „Software Center” (magazin de aplicații simplificat). El se adresează utilizatorilor avansați, oferind:Gestiune granulară: Permite căutarea, instalarea, actualizarea și eliminarea pachetelor individuale, inclusiv a bibliotecilor de sistem (libs) și a uneltelor de dezvoltare.Marcare pentru acțiuni: Utilizatorul poate naviga prin liste, poate marca mai multe pachete pentru instalare, actualizare sau ștergere, iar modificările sunt aplicate toate deodată, într-o singură sesiune de procesare.Detalii complete despre pachete: Afișează informații tehnice detaliate, descrieri, versiuni disponibile, dimensiuni de descărcare și, extrem de important, dependențele fiecărui pachet.🔹 Integrare nativă și rapidă cu XBPSCaerus funcționează ca o interfață grafică directă (frontend) peste XBPS, ceea ce înseamnă că nu adaugă un consum inutil de resurse și nu încetinește sistemul. Interacțiunea cu baza de date locală a Void Linux și cu depozitele (repositories) oficiale se face instantaneu, profitând de viteza legendară a motorului XBPS.🔹 Ideal pentru fanii simplitățiiDeși fanii înrăiți ai terminalului vor continua probabil să folosească comenzi precum xbps-install -S, Caerus reprezintă o punte excelentă pentru utilizatorii mai noi pe Void Linux sau pentru momentele în care vrei doar să explorezi vizual pachetele disponibile în depozite, fără a fi nevoie să memorezi sintaxe complexe.Proiectul este open-source și reprezintă un pas important în simplificarea experienței de utilizare pe una dintre cele mai curate și rapide distribuții Linux independente din prezent.#OpenSource #VoidLinux #Caerus #XBPS #GTK4 #Libadwaita #PackageManager #Synaptic #LinuxDesktop #TechNews #Linuxiac

I just tried installing @[email protected] on my laptop and I am having trouble.

I previously installed it successfully in a virtual machine, so I tried replicating the same steps. I got through the installer pretty easily, and rebooted into the tty. Then I ran
xbps-install -Su to update, followed by

# xbps-install NetworkManager pipewire sddm xorg plasma-desktop kate konsole

# ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/
# ln -s /etc/sv/sddm /var/service/

Void Linux + Xfce takes up residence on my mini-pc ...

As old kernels accumulate, the time taken to build DKMS modules for ZFS on my Void Linux system increases.

I use the (pre-installed) 'vkpurge' utility to safely remove old kernels, while keeping the current and previous kernels:

https://man.voidlinux.org/vkpurge.8

Works good!

Sembra che xdg-desktop-portal stia diventando problematico e dipendente da systemd e/o un desktop environment completo.

Dopo i grattacapi su Arch Linux, risolti con un aggiornamento, ora su Void non riesco ad uscirne.

La wiki non specifica di compiere altri passi oltre all'installazione di almeno un backend, non trovo servizi da abilitare, eppure i programmi non riescono ad interfacciarsi col portale. Consigli o alternative?

Despues de una fallida instalación de gentoo volví a #voidlinux otra vez,solo que ahora cambié el app launcher por fuzzel.

I may have mentioned I've been messing around with a super light install of #VoidLinux installed to a USB drive. Pretty much just Wayland, Sway, Foot, a handful of work-related command line tools, CUPS, and Flatpak so I can run @Vivaldi. The Flatpak + Vivaldi chunk eat up about 25% of the disk, but worth it. Currently idling along at just over 1 GB of RAM and 11 GB on disk including whatever I have floating around in the various caches. It drops down to between 300 and 400 MB of RAM with the browser closed, which is a lot for the old days and pocket lint for a modern machine.

I appreciate that it'll boot on whatever I'm sitting in front of, as silly as that sounds.
