I wrote AUR earlier. Considering your answer, you don't know what AUR is, I take it. "Arch User Repository". I downloaded the packages from there and extracted their contents. One is binaries, the other package is game data (files, textures, etc).

Oh, I understand now. I checked PKGBUILD and it seems the path is... let's call it "hardcoded" because executables are probably looking for libraries in that specific path - /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/share and so on and that's why it's failing to start, if it's not on the root partition. I'm not an expert in software developing but this smells like a bad linux port to me, bc properly made programs have quite different paths, like this: $HOME, $PATH and so on, nothing definitive like with this game.

By "properly made programs" I mean programs that will run just fine, even if I unpack their /usr in my secondary storage - /B/123/package-name/usr.

There's nothing to recreate. Read what Ventoy is.

If that' supposed to be funny, I don't get it.

That thing next to the man isn't human to begin with. 😆 You can't expect the AI to make an authentic rendering of Chupakabra.

If I manually "install" the game somewhere (and by that I mean manually unpack the two zst packages from AUR's PKBUILD download sources), it refuses to start and returns a whole bunch of erors in terminal. If I let trizen decide where to install it - it starts OK. I know the game isn't large and I can keep it on the root partition, but it's about principles, not about size. How can I trust something that FORCES ME to do this, instead of that? Needless to say which corporation such a behavior reminds me of.

Aaaand you can't install it elsewhere outside the root partition... It has to be on / , otherwise it won't start. "Perfect"... I don't like putting any games on the root partition, so... moving on to other FOSS games. It would have been great if everything were put together in one dir, similar to discord's way: /opt/Discord and that's it. With such a path you can symlink Discord to wherever you want. But you can't do that with this game.

Yep, that was it. Apparently 1.1 MB PNG was too big. Thanks!

This was Endeavor OS for me last night on the laptop:

cp /etc/resolv.conf /tmp/calamares-root-krk32ou8/etc/ finished with exit code 1.

I'm never wasting my time with that thing ever again. I don't like Mint but at least it installs without stupid errors.

These sound like Spyware problems, not Firefox. I'm using FF for years on Linux and the browser has never been better and faster. Not a single of these problems!

[–] Valso@lemmy.ml 1 points 12 hours ago

I'm so happy it will be just for Spyware 11 and won't ruin the look I've made for my Firefox on Linux! If they ever add this thing to the Linux version of FF, l'll have to freeze it to the current version forever.

Found it. But it won't accept the image which is weird. Asklemmy has a cover image (or wallpaper) which is 1536x768 - the same dimensions I'm trying to upload and the site still rejects it because "it's too large".

 

I just created a community but left it without a wallpaper (or whatever it's called here). A little later I found out what the wallpaper should be and now I wanna add one but I can't see any buttons about editing the community. So: how can I add a wallpaper image to an already existing community?

 

Hi. I wanna make octopi behave as close as possible to what pamac was, meaning that I want it to display only the packages with available updates. Atm it displays all installed packages and on top of that it ignores the pacman.conf feature "ignorepkg" and displays waiting updates for packages that I've added to ignorepkg.

So, what I need help with is:

  1. How to make octopi display only packages waiting for updates?
  2. The above but WITHOUT displaying new versions for packages that are in the ignorepkg list.
 

Hi, guys. I'm wondering if there's any way to limit the download speed from within Arch? I have made settings for that in the router CP but they don't seem to work bc Arch is completely ignoring them and keeps downloading with the full bandwidth it can get.

The thing is that our IPTV is from another provider which is why I need to leave some bandwidth for the TV. When I'm downloading something directly (meaning from FTP or TCP), even if it's just for a fraction of the second, the TV dies instantly. That's why I need to limit the download speed somehow - preferably from within Arch.
