I hear you like wayland/hyprland?

Terminal is kitty, shell is zsh with "Oh My Zsh" script installed :)

Anything else, just ask :)

No Xorg or Pulseaudio was hurt in the progress :P

VSIDO Discussions / Heyyy, you come here often?

I mean granted I have been away for a bit of time, in time (my TARDIS got stuck or something!)


But seriously, we are many, and I only talk to two people, so... Where the heck is the rest of you hiding? Got a beer stash or something? If that's the case, can I come over?


No, what I mean is, come hang out with us on IRC, and let's have some fun, while also being serious (happen not so often, but shhh)


Anyway, tag you are it! (come tag me back on IRC!)

Hi!
This Lenovo T430 was a bit challenging to get 'vsidofied', so I'll share the issues I ran into and what I did to fix them.

1. Install VSIDO pr this guide https://vsido.org/index.php?topic=1465.0
2. Boot into VSIDO seemed normal, but I needed iwlwifi for my wireless to work, so I installed the needed tools and firmware needed pr this Debian guide https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi

Simple, right? No not really. After a reboot I was presented with a blank screen. And CTRL+ALT+F1 was a no go.

The Fixtm

1. SSH into the laptop using a wired connection
2. run smxi as root, let it's do it's thing, update if necessary. When presented to the graphics menu, pick Intel graphics, a different xorg will be suggested, accept it, and when asked to create a xorg.conf, allow it to do so
2a. For some odd reason a xorg-intel binary is a thing. If your laptop have a nv card, stop reading this, and just smile at this

3. Reboot, and once more SSH into the laptop and run sgfxi (more stuff to download yay!)
4. Reboot for the last time
5. You are now ready to connect with wifi (nmcli, nmtui, pick your poison)

Note: Do note that using this "walk through" there might and most likely will be a few xorg.conf files in /etx/X11. Delete the crud ones and keep the newest one only


And the famous pic or it didn't happen

Finally got my laptop running vsido (was a bit of a tango, VastOne knows!)
Wasn't straight forward, so will do a writeup/howto on the forum, but for now... Screenshot!

Tried to look up what I said (so you can use it against me  :P )
All I can find is some Ubuntu crud called livepatch. I just remember that Arch had something back in the days, But I digress. If Ubuntu can do it, I am sure we can adopt that to vsido too  8)

Compton is always fun!


Heres my one-liner I use in i3 :D


compton -c -r 20 -l -30 -t -30 -f -z --blur-background-frame--blur-kern '5,5,0.676634,0.783377,0.822578,0.783377,0.676634,0.783377,0.906961,0.952345,0.906961,0.783377,0.822578,0.952345,0.52345,0.822578,0.783377,0.906961,0.952345,0.906961,0.783377,0.676634,0.783377,0.822578,0.783377,0.676634,' --vsync opengl --dbe --glx-no-stencil -D 3 -b

Hi!


This one is still breathing and kicking (let alone doing mischief)


So I picked up a HP z400 for about $30 a while back, cleaned it good, and dumped a few harddrives in it (5x500Gb) which I obviously had to put in a raid (it's why my /home is a lil big hehe) As for the screensize... I got a 32" TV for free, so why the hell not (Has HDMI so....) Anyway, enough blabber... Enjoy the screenshot :) Oh and have a nice day!


For the geek in you (conky on the left, tint2 at the top with launchers, urxvt showing neofetch spew, mocp playing music (not showing))

@VastOne: And people are still underestimating the Phenoms! I miss my Phenom II 560 :)
#15
Thanks guys :)


I do miss my i5 system, but this Xeon will do :)


System as seen :
- Xeon X5550 (4c/8t, 2.67Ghz)
- 12gb DDR3/1600
- 256Gb SSD + 320Gb mechanical (scrap disk for Blender and etc + holds my 2 swap partitions)
- eVGA nv 750ti


Total cost for this (so far):
$30 for the X58 mainboard
$35 for the case
$70 for the 2 x 32" (obviously wallmounted)


What missing/on its way is:
- A Coolermaster 212 Evo (Got a 1155 heatsink ghettorigged with zip ties atm)
- More ram, got 6x2Gb installed.
- A USB3 i/o card.
- A SATA6 controller card (pcie).
- 2 graphicscard of some sort (some 770s or 2 Quadro cards)
- A better PSU (I admit the "spaghetti" doesn't look pretty)
