 Alright, I think I'm live. I think everything is set up the way it's supposed to be Hopefully Probably not knowing my luck if I can get a yay or nay from those of you who are watching in the Chat room to tell me if the audio is right I'd be appreciative I am not nearly enough prepared for this stream. So just know that I have no clue what I'm doing I had all these plans to Watch tutorials and look at guides and all that stuff I didn't have a chance to actually do that. So we're going to be kind of Flying by the seat of our pants as per usual Excellent. We got some yeas. Oh, is everybody doing tonight? Probably going to be streaming for about an hour hour and a half or so kind of like usual. So We'll see how it goes I have three different isos prepared. I'm not sure which one's the actual one I think I know But I'm not sure that I know if that makes sense. So we'll see how it goes and like I said, I haven't looked at any Tutorials I watched a little bit of the old tech bloke stuff, but I didn't have a chance to finish it because taxes That's really all I need to say about that Um, so uh I don't know if slackware is hard to install. I haven't installed it ever I know Literally nothing about slackware other than it's really really old It's one of it's if not the oldest or if if it's not the oldest It's like the second oldest Linux distribution So we'll see how that's what I said, we're gonna see how it goes All that could happen is it could be a complete utter failure So we'll see how Like I said, we'll see how it goes I do know that I need I'm in need of a haircut. This is getting ridiculous I've been offered a lot of help to install this so we'll see how it goes Usually I like to do things on my own Bumble through and learn learn stuff. I'll ask questions if I need help It has been an extraordinary long day. I spent three and a half hours today doing my nephew's taxes and It wouldn't have taken nearly as long, but he's decided that he needs to invest in stocks and bonds And cryptocurrency and I had no clue how to do that. So I had to learn how to do that today It was not a very good experience Let me just put it that way Nobody likes doing taxes and you especially don't like doing other people's taxes But it happened apparently I'm the tax guy because I do my parents taxes to my brother's taxes my taxes I'm just gonna rename my office h and r block Well, I'm pretty sure it's actually not like an arch It's not like a debion based distribution from debion I'm pretty sure that it's more arch like and that it's all tty stuff But I could be wrong and maybe it's incurses like I don't know. I've only seen some parts of it Like I know you use fdisk to Partition stuff or cf disc if you want But beyond that I didn't get through anything I have the video open if I want to continue through it. So that goes It's gonna be in a virtual machine I don't have the capability of recording on on hardware But we're gonna go ahead and get started here. I think I think actually think what we're gonna do is just go ahead and turn the camera off completely And like I said, I'm gonna be installing this in Vert manager here And I don't know if there's anything special I need to know to do that if I come across with problems I will Look them up So We'll see how it goes. All right. Might as well. Like I said, I have three different Isos here that I downloaded I downloaded the This is the one I'm going to try first. This is the one that is link to on the home page And then there's these other two that have the live environment. I think is what those are If I don't succeed with the first one, I'll try one of these these ones here look more Happy to me, but we'll see how it goes All right. So anyways, we're going to go ahead and uh, hit finish here Hit yes And wait for this to go. We'll go ahead and get ourselves a Thing now, I think This prompt is just for entering extra parameters if you don't need to enter any parameters to enter to boot in default kernel Press f2 for our listing of more kernel choices default kernel will boot in two minutes Okay One of the things that I need to remember to do is read A lot of times I have a tendency to skip over stuff so If you are not using a us keyboard, you're now you may now load a different keyboard map to select a different keyboard map Please enter one now to continue using the us map just to enter enter Okay Welcome to the slackware linux installation disk version 15.0 Important read the information below carefully That's for you matt you will need one or more partitions of type linux prepared It is also recommended that you create a swap partition type linux swap prior to the installation For more information run setup and read the help file If you're having problems that you think might be related to a little memory You can try activating a swap partition before you run setup After making a swap partition type 82 with a cf disk or f disk activate it like this Okay Once you have Prepared the disk partitions for linux type setup to begin the installation process. You may now log in as root. All right, so we're gonna Go ahead and I think we have to do this now and there's no password So if you're upgrading an existing slap slackware system You might want to remove old packages before you run setup to install the new ones If you don't your system will start Still work, but there might be some old files left laying around on your drive Just mount your linux partitions under mnt and type package tool If you don't know how to mount your Partitions type package tool and it will tell you how it's done To partition your hard drives use cf disk or f disk to start with the main installation after partition type setup Okay, well, we're gonna try this. I've only used cf disk a few times so Actually, I think I'm gonna be happier with f disk, but I might be wrong about that We're gonna try f disk first Oh, it's all has to be okay. We gotta do the We're gonna know what the drives are. So this is vda. So so f disk slash dev slash vda I think Here we go. Okay Quick question. How do you use ssh? That's not a quick question. Uh, minto. I just did a brand new video on ssh I know distro tube has done a video on ssh So give it a good youtube search and you'll find several videos on it that are very good I'd be the wrong youtuber to ask I am Not good at ssh. I use it, but I don't understand it Do you think I should use the f disk? I've only used it a couple times So we'll try cf disk. Maybe it'll be better Okay, so which do we need? I think we can do DOS on this because we're not even using ufi, right? I think we're gonna we're gonna go ahead with DOS to see if it works Um, so we need we have 20 gigabytes. I think 25 gigabytes use gpt. So I did that wrong Not surprising try again I'll just do that one then. I usually use the DOS for everything else, but we'll do this. All right, so We want this to be 20 gigabytes and type Linux We want it to be linux file system I think that's what they need to be right Or can be let it be any can be any of these Or does need to be linux root All right chat. You got to help me already probably should Actually, all right, let's see here Actually looking up guide. Why not? This is why I always use the Do we install ours because I don't remember any of this stuff my brain for whatever filters it out I learn it five or six times and then I don't remember It just says linux So if there's just a linux selection here Which I don't actually see I'm assuming that means that the documentation is old Probably means that linux That's what I thought it was going to be but they call in the documentation it says Just linux. That's probably the way it comes up here. So do that Uh, yeah, that's not the way it looks in the thing, but it's okay. So do use this one here and then type Swap I think I need to do I need to flag this Is there a way how do I I forget Yeah, okay. I'm glad the First you're still about well In the documentation it has a flag section because that must be like an older version of cftisk Mine doesn't have a flag section. I'm think I'm just gonna Let's let's type I don't think that that is anything else there linux home raid I see a boot though extended boot Boot free sd boot No linux boot And we have to be rude anyways because there has to be a rude drive It says to create a swap those following directions I think I can go ahead and just write this We have to start over again. I have to start over again And then we can quit ls ls blk We now have two things here and then We write we do setup right is the next thing And welcome to n curses The installer that only knows two colors. Well, actually there's some color on more colors here All right, welcome to slack word linux setup Select an option below using the up down keys and space or enter alternate keys may also be used plus or minus and tab Help read the slack word help file That's for people who you know want to read directions key map. We've already done that Add swap set up your swap partitions Detective detective one more swap partitions on your system Those partitions have been pre-selected to set up as a swap space if there is any swap partitions That you do not wish to use with this installation Please unselect them with the up or down arrows and space bar if you wish to use all of them Simply hit enter key. Okay Slack word set up will will now prepare your system swap space when formatting swap partitions with make swap You may also check them for bad blocks. This is not the default since Nearly all modern hardware to check themselves for bad blocks. Anyways, would you like to check for bad blocks make running make swap? Not the defaults. We're just gonna know. Okay, so we're gonna do that Your swap space has been configured. This information will be added to your fs tab. Okay okay Please select a partition from the following to use as your root drive You select this If this partition has not been formatted you should format it This will release all data. Would you like to format this partition? I think the chat is a little bit behind. That's the reason why I'm Actually not doing those things you're telling me to do Okay, we'll see I said I'm flying by the seat of my pants here. All right, so we're gonna hit format and All right, here's some funny. I was listening to tyler's streaming the other night and he said the bsd doesn't support ext4 Slackware is older than it's like we're older than bsd. I'm actually not sure Bsd might be older now that I think about it Either way, it's it's weird that slackware supports ext4 and Bsd doesn't it's we're just gonna use that okay now Please select the media from which to install slackware Install slackware from cd or dvd install slackware from usb stick Install from a hard drive partition install from nfs network file system Install from ftp install from samba share and install from pre-modded directory. I think Well, I'll choose no Yes format Yeah, I I get the differences between linux and bsd. I know why it doesn't support it just the age thing makes me laugh I'm not sure what Slackware determines the the ISO loaded into a Vert manager is considered. So is it considered a cd or dvd or is it considered a usb stick? That's what I need to figure out next I guess Here you'll tell the installer where to find slackware packages the most common muse methods is to install c Sackware installed dvds or cds But there are various other options available If you have your packages installed onto a partition that you set up in the previous step You'll install from that partition or pre-modded directory May need to mount partition with mount first c chapter 11 for more details Additionally slackware offers a variety of network options such as nfs ftp http and samba You select a network installation slackware will prompt you to for tcip tcp ip Information first. We're only going to discuss this installation from dvd. But other methods are similar and straightforward Yeah, I'm guessing that's what this is. So that's why it's probably default. So we're just going to do that Make sure the slackware disk is in your cd dvd drive and then press enter To begin the scanning process or if you'd rather specify the device name manually Choose that option below Always going to go auto. Here we go Lackware disk was found Okay, now it's time to select which general categories of software to install on your system Use the spacebar to select or unselect The software you wish to install you can use the up and down arrows to see all the possible choices Recommended choices have been pre-selected press the enter key if you are finished Okay, so based on next system, so we're going to leave all this stuff exactly the same Which um it selects everything So we're going with xfce Which is good xfce is a good Wait a minute. It's also going to install plasma What the hell why does it select all of this stuff? We don't need both We don't need kd. We're going to go with xfce Everything else can stay the same We're going to leave emacs there just for everybody to be happy with the fact this default makes me laugh Okay, and I think we're going to go ahead and hit Okay here now Now you must select the type of prompts you would like to see during the installation process If you have the drive space the full option is quick easy and by far the most foolproof choice The newbie mode provides the most information but is more time-consuming presenting the packages one by one Then by the menu based choices otherwise you can pick packages from menus using expert or menu Mode which type of prompting would you like to use? So I said the full option is the quick easy and by far the most foolproof choice so that makes sense to It says like full but display Oh 15 gigabytes of software That might be a problem I gave the whole thing 20 gigabytes That might be an issue I didn't realize I'm gonna I was gonna need more space What is this arco? Use verbose prompting for the x Series takes one year You know I am a newbie so I'm gonna go ahead and hit the newbie one Why not newbie prompts mode selection installing packages This is a starter set of files from the term info database, which should be enough for most cases The complete set from which this is derived can be found in The anchors package The term info base describes So you're telling me I should go uh Is there a way to go back and check the terse one? Is it? Well, the newbie one really does go one by one all right Blackware friends, can can you go back after I'm done this can you go back and select terse by hitting cancel or am I stuck with this now? I'm stuck with it. I'll just keep going I'm just gonna I can cancel No, that just takes me to the next one Yeah, cancel just takes me to the next one oops So hey, hey, hey I don't think quit was the right one I think I am gonna start over and make a bigger one Um, let's see. Let's get out of this And force quit this I'm gonna start over again I know more now than I did before which is exactly where I needed to be I'm gonna delete this delete this new forward Browse iso slackware choose volume Slackware Where which is going to be this one here And then hit forward Give it four cpus and four gig weights ram And hit forward and we're gonna go ahead and give this a nice round number 50 It won't take that much, but it's better to have more than have to come back and do this again And then we're gonna hit finish And now we can do go again Fullscreen enter Okay, so enter to just use the us use us one root cf disc So make this one 45 gigabytes like this Go down here and new Five gigabytes is fine this one here What the hell? I quit why did I do that? Okay Starting over again Starting over again again again 45 gigabytes this one here new five gigabytes type This one here should be linux file system. This one here should be linux swap and then right Yes then quit Set up You know the more I use cf disc the more I'll actually you know remember How to use it Let's go ahead as we do we've done these do this one first Add swap That's the right one. Okay No, I don't need to do that Okay and then Please select the prision from the following list use your root petition select Format ext4 Okay And that one auto now I saw in the chat where it Said I should just go ahead and leave the kd stuff. So Apparently stuff needs the kd stuff. That's gonna take forever to install, but just okay We'll just leave it and we'll hit terse because that's the default which we should have done the begin with like this Okay Yeah, that's better than actually me installing it one line at one line at a time Not too bad Yeah, I do I do hit the enter key off really hard I tend to do that when I go fast It brings on the clang in my keyboard John, I think you're behind there a little bit Yeah, so now I should have kd and xfc, but that we won't be the first time I've ever had a gtk based or a desktop environment Cute one installed all at the same time It's interesting that they're basically just giving you a terminal here, but with a green background or a teal background Looks like a if if dave2d was to design a terminal. This is the that's the background that he would choose I'm installing rust And there's gonna emacs. Whoo I'm assuming them will be installed if them isn't installed. I'm just gonna retire it'd be a Travesty to see emacs installed and not them. I'm sure vise is installed that has to be there Breeze icons so we're getting into the kd stuff Interestingly not alphabetical order Looks like it's gonna download all the kd stuff That's awesome. I wonder if it's if it downloads crusader. I'm gonna be happy It'd be hilarious if it does it probably won't though That q4OS that I did the thing on yesterday I was very happy that I had crusader installed by default. That was cool Them was installed cool good conquer conquerors install If conquerors installing not crusader Crusaders install. That's awesome Winning Or every destroyer should have crusader installed by default I'm gonna have to install nano I am obsessed with with crusader. It's my favorite Makes me happy There's a lot of package. I'm glad I gave it to full 50 gigabytes I'm beginning to worry that even 50 gigabytes wasn't enough It did install every package install started with k so it installed the entire kd suite And it's still gonna install a lot of the gnomes stuff because it's also going to install xfce Why it chooses both of them as default. I don't know but Doesn't really matter Usually you don't see xfce and kde to you know install on the same system. It doesn't hurt anything You're just gonna have a lot of weirdness Yes, I do love crusader. It's my favorite linux app. I swear to god I It I think I said this in my video if I couldn't use crusader There's a good chance that I wouldn't be using linux at this point It's just a sad sad truth because there's Nothing out there that I've found that I like nearly as much and I use the file manager like absolutely crazy I know I get made fun of for it a lot Well xfc is not built on gnomes. It's built on gtk Jordan jonathan Well that that binary is taken a while then to install Well, I'm gonna put this out there that the Way that I've gone about it so far is not the most minimal way of installing slack ware I just saw wayland Yeah, here's there was x server audacious We're gonna have like nine different ways of playing media X chat mozilla firefox the esr version of course That's gonna take a bit Oh thunderbirds here, too. So we got thunderbird and kmail Because I saw kmail earlier See monkey. That's another web browser. So that's three web browsers. That's firefox. There's probably more x screen saver grave Elementary xfce x another icon theme Oh, here we go generating the initial ram disk for use with The 5.15 generic kernel. Please wait. Oh, I can't read those so fast. It's going so fast on config update If your computer supports booting from a usb drive, it is recommended that you make a usb boot stick for your system at this time It will boot your computer straight into the root file system I don't think I need to do that, right? I don't think I need to do that. Hey All right, waiting for chat. Do I need to do this? This is for you actually are going to use it. Like is that like a backup stick? Is that what it's talking about? Waiting for an answer on that No need. Okay. No. Okay. Good. That's what I thought. Okay Lilo linux loader is the generic boot loader There is a simple installation which tries to automatically set up Lilo to boot linux also windows if found More advanced users the expert option offers more control over the installation process since Lilo does not work in all cases and can damage partitions if incorrectly installed There's a new third saved option which also which is to skip installing Lilo for now You can always install it later with the little lilo config command. Which option would you like to choose? All right. Well, I'm going to try the simple one because I don't think that installing grep would be easy. So I'm going to do this Simple. Hopefully that's the right thing to do Okay, looking for proc devices It seems your kernel support For the v sub frame buffers console if we enable this In lilo.conf it will allow more rows and columns of text to be on the screen And give you a cool penguin logo at boot boot time However, the frame buffer text console is slower than a standard text console In addition, not every video card monitor supports all these types of video modes All these video modes and some x drivers could be confused by them Would you like to use the frame buffer console or the standard console? I think this is going to ask you for like a resolution, right? I don't see a proper resolution here. I don't understand the three dimensions of the resolution either Oh, that's gonna be that last one's gonna be is that gonna be color or size? I think I'm just gonna use the standard the safe choice I think that makes more sense. Okay Some systems might require extra parameters to be passed to the kernel If you need to pass parameters to the kernel when you boot the slack or boot disk You'll probably want to enter the same ones here. Most systems won't require any extra parameters if you don't need any Just to enter some enter Lilo can be installed in a variety of places the super block of your root partition, which could be made the boot Could be made the bootable partition with windows or Okay, I understood that it's just odd phrasing a formatted floppy disk the master boot record of your first hard drive options one and two are the safest The option one does require a little extra work later setting the partition bootable with f-disk Which would you like to do? Okay, so which one of these do I choose? I'm not actually sure Ah, tyler. Welcome It says it's choose mbr. Okay I think I knew that All right The gpm program allows you to cut and paste text on the virtual consoles using a mouse If you choose to run it at boot time, this line will be added to your rc.gpm. Shall we load the gpm program at boot time? probably Would you like to configure your network? Yes Enter your hostname First we'll need to We'll need the name you'd like to give your host Only the base host name is needed right now not the domain for example dark star So I think this is the name of the computer. So we're just going to call this Like a slackware vm, which is good. Do that now we need to donate names such as this Do you actually need a domain name? is the question some like some like mxlx requires you'd have a domain name Entered but you can use something like example.com something like that So question do I actually need to enter this or I can leave it blank or do I need to use just a Regular, you know domain Yep chat is still back at the nbr thing Yes to domain Local host is your domain name. All right, john. You said you're gonna help me No, you can leave it getting conflicting answers from the chat John is way far behind. He's supposed to be helping me, but he's like five minutes behind I don't think it does but I want him I can't stop. I can't I'm not restarting. Damn it I'm just gonna hit. Okay, then Some advanced networking setups require setups. Great. I require a vlan id in order to connect to the network Do you wish to configure a vlan id now unless you are sure you require a vlan id hit hit no Okay, I have no clue what that means Now we need to know How your machine connects to the network if you have an internal network card And an assigned ip address gateway and dns use the static ip choice to enter the To enter these values if your ip address is assigned by dhcp Commonly used by cable modem and dsl services select dhcp Select network manager if you would like You have the network manager deamon automatically handle your wired and wireless network interfaces This is simple and usually works ipv6 networks also may include slack Stay stateless address auto configuration to assign the an address based on router router router advertisements if you do not have a network card select your lube back device Let me be like having a snap installed I'm just going to do network manager because that's what I know Your networking system is now configured to use network manager for wired and wireless network management To set up wireless networks and view status add Network manager control panel widget to your desktop. Is this correct hit yes to confirm or no to abandon Settings accepted basic network configuration is complete Okay, so the selected services will start at boot time if you don't need them You may unselect them to turn them off which may improve overall system security You may also choose to start services that are not run by default But be aware that more services means less security Use a spacebar to select the and unselect the services you wish to run Recommended choices have been pre-select and press enter key when you are finished Okay, so I think the only thing we need to make sure that is actually here is going to be the One for the network manager thing, right? I think I might so I think if I install this on hardware later on I'm going to need to make sure things like The the nfsd probably I don't know even know Um Josh you're still it's lack. We're wrong No, thank you, Josh I don't think I actually need it. Do I need to do sshd? It's already checked anyways You don't need any of that Yeah, otb has done several Uh, like we're installed videos. I just now have a chance to watch any of them He did message me on pet patreon as well. So I probably should check and see that because I'm probably doing something Completely wrong. He messaged me and told me to do something, but I didn't write it down I should go check and see what that is It'll be Or we'll feature he solved all of my problems and then I didn't pay attention to otb Looking for your slack. We're unfortunately knows sbo tools. I think that's gonna be later on right and Actually slack bills We'll have to look that up later All right, so I'm supposed to enter Okay, I'm hoping whatever you got everything there. Do what you like to try out with some custom screen fonts Sure, why not? Select one of the following custom fonts if you decide you like it you can make it your new default screen font You'll be able to try as many of these as you like What you got? I don't recognize any of these fonts so far Those are very descriptive names. I'm just gotta say this. These are very very like I know exactly what this font means Excuse me select one of those The new font is not installed. You may test it by typing stuff typing stuff I don't know about y'all, but that looks exactly the same as it was before but sure You may not test by typing anything you want to quit the testing front enter one on any unaligned by Itself and accept the font and go on or two to install Align by itself to reject the current font and select a new one Sure Is the hardware clock set to coordinated universal time? If it is select yes here if the hardware clock is set to current local time This is how most PCs are set up and saying no here if you are not sure what this is You should answer no here. So I'm gonna go ahead and no because I'm not actually sure Please select your time One of the following time zones for your machine. So we're gonna go here All right This part of the configuration process will create x and y sim links in this user slash bend pointing to your default x Vi editors on a fresh installation. This will point to nvi by default as it is Lightweight and supports utf-8. You may choose a different default if you prefer, but please note that Elvis does not support utf-8 Okay, I did not know that Elvis was the name of slack or a traditional editor. Okay, so We're gonna use them because of course we are Please select the default window manager to use with the x-window system We'll just go ahead and use The kde one I guess Although kde is not the window manager kde is the desktop environment kwin is the window manager You know just to be specific I don't know what this is all about i'm getting text messages. Pardon me. Okay. Well that text message was not important I'm just gonna go ahead and use the kde one because we install all that stuff all the goodies There currently is no root password set on the system administrator account It is recommended that you set one now so that it is active the first time the machine is rebooted This is especially important if you're using network enabled kernel and the machine is on an internet connected LAN Would you like to set a root password now? Yes New password very strong and complicated Very strong and complicated Enter to continue the system configuration install installation is not complete. You may not reboot your system. Okay We did all that stuff. So I think now we can exit Please remove the installation disk Reboot Here we go So what do you think the chances are? Of this actually booting into you know an usable system Hmm A very strong and complicated password you're never going to guess what my strong and complicated password is Josh just never Well, definitely do not take you into a display manager Um, but that's okay Probably it didn't even ask for a root or a user Pretty user interesting So All right, John. Was this where I was supposed to be alkiwari? Then you can create a non-root user, right? Welcome to slackware. Okay. So first thing first Let's change that display resolution See if that will actually hold Right here and apply And keep Okay, working. All right, cool. What was that? Actually, we're going to want to come that back up because we actually need I'm pretty sure that we're going to want to create our own user, right? You don't want to do everything as root I'm gonna just do that from here Do will not let you slide just a two a three letter password. Why doesn't let me hit set password hmm I was just going to do it in the GUI for once, but the GUI is failing me Wait a minute. Hold on. We'll do it this way There we go Now if we log out That should take us back to the tty theoretically My password is strong and complicated There we go Change that display resolution again Okay Very good. Cool now terminal Interesting prompt there Okay Let's see here We need firefox How to install software on slackware I don't know how I'm completely new and I want to learn myself I even has the animations kind of cool The official packages can be found on the slackware CD-ROM or the slackware ftphttp mirrors the package browser And actually just see if It's installed everything so neofetch has to be there There you go that's the one password too strong Everything seems to be working fine even has the You can even talk cups and everything is running. We got the hp server status icon down here at the bottom Unofficial community combined repositories can be searched for at slackfind.net which indexes most well-known computer new repositories and slackware compatible spin-off slackslacky.eu and slack slacks oh yeah slacks os Usually the package name ends with dot tgz or txc To install the packages you need to find need to change The root user to the root user either either by using the command su or sudo dash i Enter your root password and i run command the thing where you're supposed to be looking up here Is what was it called? spotools And the other thing was my package plus i suppose is the other thing right pkg plus spotools, okay Here's to actually see the chat Okay, so let's see your spotools is provides ports like interface for slackbills.org It consists of several commands and a configuration file It is written entirely in pearl and bundles a copy of the sort versions module with itself for its own usage This will not interfere with copies installed via cpan or slackbills.org for slackware is 14 14 no 1 and 14 2 you need the latest version of the 2x branch which is available here as a source tarball Or as already made packages also available slackbills.org's spotools page the source code For the 1 to x and 2x branches is available at download page Uh, no, no that stuff really applies to me because those are all older versions. I don't see anything here for 15.0 There's also some documentation available. I don't always like when they say some documentation Not like great documentation, but it's yeah, it's okay. What do I need to do that for john? Matt is not in the sudoers file. Okay I don't remember how to do that I could just do su sudo dash i maybe would work No, sudo I don't think that one gets gonna work either sudo su Either way, it's not gonna work because sudo. I'm not in the sudoers file. Yep Okay, there we go. Now we're in the right route. I always forget about su Never have to use it You you think message me on and on uh Discord is helping but it's just gonna make discord freeze I still have that problem from time to time. All right, I forgot what I was doing Well, because somebody told me I needed to do vim into slash etsy Then it was what? slack pkg mirrors Okay, what do I need to do here? I remember vice sudo. I never I only use that once Again, I'm asking john what I'm supposed to be doing here. He told me to go here, but no, I'm here for no reason Desperate need of water. Give me a second. I'm gonna go get a drink I'm back in here I'm back Delicious water than made me cough. Okay. What's going on here? Okay All right, so let's see on slack where you can use sudo, but you have to update or install it Has to be done with su Yeah I know you had probably add yourself to the real group or the sudoers file I remember doing that the first time installed arch, but it's been a while Again, I asked why was I sent to this file? I don't remember. I don't know why something to uncomment out. I'm sure Probably because you want me to find the us stuff here probably and uncomment it Sweden ukraine United kingdom united states So do I do do I comment all this stuff? Like this Am I about to break this system? Okay, so rule number one, josh Is to never let zany choose a distro for you because he's just going to make you change again that man Distro hops like nobody's business. I'm honestly surprised. He's been on open bsd as long as he has So I would say choose the distro that you want to you know use I'd recommend slack where it looks fun I don't know if I'm going to be sticking with slack where I'm just test. I'm just playing around I'll not work with one one marriage. So what you're saying is I need to go through and do uh Recomment some of those lines as opposed. That makes sense So which one should be Once one Should be closer. All right. I know exactly what I'm gonna do. Okay. I'll do some undoing here Go here and do this. Okay Okay Just one Okay, it's the one slack where again You'll do a better job of it than I am for sure Okay, so Now that we've done that SPO tools documentation So which do we need to do first? Is there like an order that needs to need to be done in? The documentation is not impressive At least so far Okay pro tip for developers who need to do to do documentation The first thing you need to do when you do documentation is say, hey you idiots Here's how you install this what you're you know, that's number one Well, it's number two. The first thing you need to do is tell people what you're doing what it is Okay, and then the next thing is how do you install it? Everything else is secondary Get away from spo tools. I've been told the spo tools is good That's what I've been told As the spo tools is good and it's helpful By multiple people. I've been told it's good. So Go to slackware and read the man configuration Slackware compiles with the Linux file system standard. This page explains what some of the key directories and root directories are This page help users get a ppp connection upset up under slack where it is covers used the ppp So I don't know what that is X window system network setup user administration See if this recovers System initialization package management. This is what we need right here Slackware's package manager package system uses ordinary compressed tar files The system allows you to keep track of the packages you install making it easier to upgrade or move them down the road Slackware provides an interactive program for managing your packages You can use package tool to handle adding and removing packages from your system You can also use these command line utilities to work with packages below as a brief Overview of the commands. However, you should always consult the man pages before using them Okay, so dem slack word where has Yeah, I'm not going to call anybody on discord right now. The last thing I need is for my stream to stop working All right. Well, I'm going to run these things that dem slack word has told me to do so Do I need to I'm assuming I need to run those as roots. So if I'm I'm going to do that Probably not a good idea, but we're going to do it. Anyways Slack pkg update gpg Probably because I didn't spell it right pkg okay And then we need to do update This is turning into gen two all once I'm getting multiple, you know Do this do this do this? What do I do? I don't know And then update Upgrade Dash all Okay, so we're doing an update Okay Yeah, john you're way behind my friend That was like five minutes ago. I should have had this water earlier. It made me feel so much better What time are we gotten right now? It is nine sixteen. Wow I got about another 20 minutes in me and I'm probably gonna be done for the night I know I didn't I didn't want to you guys told me to do it Was I not supposed to do an update? Why did somebody tell me to do it then? One bottle of water gone Glad I grabbed the second one Back to the chat here Yeah, I don't know if I'm actually doing what I'm supposed to be doing but Why do I need? I'm not messing around with lilo after every kernel update you need to mess around with the lilo config Okay That true. I don't even know if that's true All right, I say it's deleting all bunch of stuff. That's always a good thing That's terrifying. Stop it. Stop deleting everything. No Why are you doing this? I hope you're supposed to be deleting all those things. Good lord. Uh, what are you doing? Never ever That's terrifying I swear I did not rmrf slash I swear I didn't rmrf slash Deleting an awful lot. Oh, it's probably because that's an old kernel, right? Okay But if so, damn That's that's That's not the kind of scrolling line of text that you ever want to see Yes, I just deleted xorg server That was one of my my more fun videos Where I actually did that And I think you spent more time deleting things than actually upgrading them The keyboard on android is so much better than the one on iOS. It's just unbelievable Oh, yeah, I switched back to android guys and I didn't say this to anybody, but And there's just so many things around iOS that were just pissing me off The keyboard on iOS is just uttered garbage And you can get third-party keyboards, right? But they all switch back to the original ones eventually And at random times And I don't know why Also, none of them are any good anyways, but whatever I am regretting going with a Samsung though. All right. Thanks, John for stopping by. I'm sorry. You're so far behind man Um, but I'm glad you were here Thanks for your help I do appreciate it You wouldn't think with this just having been released not too long ago to this be this much to update, but Josh don't try out iOS. You won't be happy with it If you're really upset with android try a custom ROM or something There's so first on iOS the notifications are terrible You there are actionable notifications, but they're only actionable when they come in once they've either been Relegated back to the notifications shade or dismissed. You can't do anything with them. Okay, so apparently Do you want What do you want k o r p keep old files and consider dot new files later Overwrite all old files with new ones the old files will be stored in the suffix dot ridge Remove all dot new files or prompt For every single file um Oh, yeah, that's the problem. I'm gonna have to is the the samsung phone does not Like custom ROMs At least not the new ones Okay, so I want to owe here I'm assuming that did it or not Was it supposed to be capital O? It did literally nothing Was there supposed to be some output after that or did I just do all that for nothing? That's just the question Hello there gorgeous Ladies and gentlemen crusader. That's so good Now I need to lilo config. Okay, I'm gonna do that Can I do the automatic thing again? I'm assuming that I did right there Okay, now I guess I should go and see actually what Applications are installed because it installed a shit ton of applications I mean, I actually need to install anything a dash is Dacious Lincoln So let's just say I wanted to install a dacity. What would I do what I do? Okay, so Slackware packages That's not helpful Probably all right, so what if I i'm just curious What this would do so install pkg dacity tgz Nope, I didn't think that that would actually work That's not actually all that helpful. Then is it? probably I sell packages a good package manager for slackware that helps Users keep updated installation before you look at discord Holy shit The user's package tools to install it at all to install bare packages. It's install package on the slack package install No, I'll put it's good. No, and lay low config simple These one word responses of yours dem slackwares is are delicious. They're awesome. Thank you And you're done. Also got spo tools Tell me so I do slack pkg install spo tools Is that what I need to do? No, I didn't think so because I didn't actually spell it right Fucking dyslexia Looking for spo tools package. Let's wait done no packages pattern tribe No, okay, that didn't work actually work spo tools makes it easy like you keep telling me that's what nobody's ever actually told me how to install the damn thing and the Documentation is Not great. I mean there's some man pages down here, but spo install But that isn't how you get how you get spo tools installed So let's see from source And finally from scratch community repositories Oh, that's what it wants you to do is to download it Okay, where's that? I saw that earlier downloads spo tools probably the latest one, right? Download that save file. Okay Makes sense. Okay, so that's in so cd CD downloads ls So use install pkg spo tools All does not end in right so install Install package them slag word doesn't actually work And that's just literally what you just told me to do You need to use slack build I'm not on the main page Did not that one? I'm so I'm so bloody confused I'm looking at discord Use that on the main page spo tools on the main page Here's the source talk terrible. You're talking about this thing here. That's exactly the same spo tools 2.7 tar dot gz Exactly the same It says ready ready made package. Oh, it's this one here Okay, all right. Well, that's okay, so all right, so we'll try that one so What was install? pkg and spo tools dash no arch Like that That was easy. Okay. Now. What am I supposed to do with it? All right And what you what are you supposed to do with it? So let's look at the documentation again because we're going to do some of these some of the stuff myself all right Here you can find what documentation is available for current version of spo spo tools As spo tools is highly influenced by free bsd support system And it's package tools the interface will be more or less familiar to anyone familiar with port upgrade Tyler, where are you when you need you bro? I mean, I know yours is open bsd, but still probably the same stuff Uh, the first thing which needs to be done after installing spo tools is pull up Pull a local copy of the slack builds or tree minus the excess bit. This is optionally done automatic automatically At first run of sdo fine spo upgrade or spo install Or manually via the spo snap command So we'll run that spo snap fetch spo upgrade and spo install on these versions will Pull the list of requirements from a given slack builds info file or on 13.37 will look for given slack builds read me Blah blah blah blah This is recursive so that the ordering happens correctly the functions Correctly for this function is correctly for dash combat 32 packages as well And since a combat 32 is only somewhat useful without its 64 bit counterpart installed since the combat 32 will have its headers stripped out spo tools will offer to install the 64 bit version first if it's not already installed For various sanity reasons if the dash r flag is provided to bypass viewing the read me No requirement handling parsing is done Asking a tool to automatically do such things without reading the relevant read me files is bad bad bad idea I'm not going to be good at using slack where I don't like using reading read me reading is hard I can do this so just do spo install audacity It looks like audacity has options Would you like to set any of them when slack build run? Default no We'll just do no for now That's fine proceed with audacity. Yes, I show you wish you continue. Yes Okay All right. Yeah, I was ignoring you for discord Also jack, did you change your username again? Are you just here in two different? You and you're in two different Accounts that'd be hilarious So I'm gonna go here to this thing next some settings Change to the dark theme apply Here we go with that much better About the system. So this is using kd plasma version 5.23 Which probably is gonna it's actually probably gonna have upgraded if that upgrade actually worked. Who knows? um Colonel version 5.15, which is fairly recent, which is pretty good. Um Surprisingly, it's actually reading the processor critically usually invert manager uses it reads it as an epic cool Close that This is gonna take a bit Oh, you switch to the phone because you're installing slackware. Okay, that makes sense That makes sense All right. Yeah, I don't know why I decided to build audacity when I know it takes forever on a system that has like 16 cores instead of just four Why not? The thing is my, uh Software needs aren't esoteric. So probably most of the stuff that actually need Is in the standard slackware repo repositories or repository The only thing that would be probably not there Is a lacquery Fuck you firefox. Nobody nobody likes you Probably gonna have lost those because by default. Yeah, they're all gone Sure I forgot what I was looking for. Oh, uh Well, it's in slack builds I think that would work, right well Wonder like i3 gaps i3. What about i3 gaps? Okay Go download this Next download the source of the application from the address listed it can Hmm It's important to read the remit before building any scripts some maintainers put notes in the remit file The optional dependencies available build options worrying About potential conflict with slackware packages steps to be taken before building the package And after installing the package and any And many other things that relates to the scripts in other words read the read me It's always fun If your version of chemtools newer than the what is specified in this like little scripture And use what sqg? What is sqg? Calculary what does that mean? I don't know what that I don't know what half of this shit means Slackware, why can't you just be a normal distro? Only a 40 for audacity No, I don't know you're saying no to just like where I wish would help if I wasn't on top chat and actually on live chat Way better Gaps are blowed anyways. Thank you Joshua Gaps are awesome Take that shit back sqg is a package that will add the dependencies to the queue that you can install with sbo package If society, why aren't you using plan 9? I'm disappointed in you. You're supposed to be using plan 9. You're the plan 9 guy But I think installing software is going to be the adventure for slackware Some of the stuff will be easy. It'll be this Slackware build stuff that I'm not actually sure what sbo tools does dependencies. Okay, so what? My chat is wrong. Okay Can I install i3? gaps with bo tools Like sbo install i3 Is a slack Build for it But I don't know what it means I don't know How to use it So rat poison People have been trying to use rat poison for ages. I have been resistant to say the least mostly because I watched jklinx's videos on them and it seems more complicated than I'm interested in you know actually doing installs everything in s on sbo It's like an aur helper Okay I think I was told that yeah What did he told me that? Nothing nine front doesn't run on my current laptop and I can't get it to work on open bsd As a vm. Oh, that is just that's devastating You're the you're the you're the nine front plan nine guy We're gonna go ahead and let audacity continue to run here because why the hell not It's almost done The interesting to see if it actually finishes because it depends on what version of audacity it's it's going for 3.0 Hmm some of the audacity 3.0 ones won't actually compile because it doesn't like ffmpeg 5.0 And that problem a lot on arch that's the reason why I can't use audacium My i3 configuration files like five to ten lines long, but that's just because I source everything else So I am a cheating a cheating cheater who cheats I still gotta make a video for tomorrow And it is now quarter to ten I can't believe I chose audacity to be the thing that I installed. That's so stupid I think I should know better I think I should know it was going to take forever it takes forever on my system with all the resources I joined the irc and I've promised to join tyler's irc. I have not done so yet My main reasoning for is first of all. I've been busy second of all. I don't remember how to use irc I did a video on irc when I first started the channel. I never used it before And I haven't used it since Will I do an lfs on lfs on stream? No Absolutely Bloody not Sorry, mr. Robot I highly recommend you going back and watching tyler's doing that. He's streamed for like 40 hours doing that and he wasn't successful No, I won't be doing that Even for all the money in the world. I would not do it Like there's not a patreon goal that I could set that would make me install lfs I just don't have that kind of patience or time or energy or interest Fortunately, we're smarts really because I'd fail for I mean I just asked ben. I barely installed gentu All right 80% Being mentioned on Also, you have time do call me so I can tell you everything you need to know All right, it's like when I have time I'll do that. Also, if audacity does not compile you can install through slack package plus Let you add three part third-party packages to slack package. Okay Alien bob repo is the one. I don't know what that means. I know alien who alien bob is I heard that heard that name from otb well I don't know I'm gonna try i3 gaps after this If that will install Have you watched mr. Robot? No, I have not I don't watch stuff that's modern very often Only for the other podcasts. Do I ever watch I'm like a modern movie even the other guys forced me to like we watched in canto Unconto last And that was okay, but um, I'm not big on the modern stuff Yay audacity Uh No, no not if you're talking about me talking to me about the other the podcast mentioned It's in a school podcast is our other podcast I do a podcast with three friends or two friends About movies Once a month It's called the three cast I think that's the URL Yep, right there. That's the three cast sometimes we talk about other things, but Excuse me for the most part we talk about movies Or slowly working our way through the bond film We'll be done in about five years Probably closer to 10 years actually Because we only do it every fourth episode We only do one episode a month We're doing another one this month, so Be fun It is an apple podcast. I don't know if I'm going to actually be able to copy this but It's right here You know not do this in the Inker.fm has the slowest website in the history of websites. I'm just going to put that out there. We're going right there That's the other one It's fun. It's also you can also obviously get the rest of the it's on other places other than apple You invite all of those places here Like I said, we go once a month. It's not as well edited as the three cast as you just point that out there because we record on skype, so Yeah, it's a fun little podcast Vincent Rickey and I get along really well. We've been doing that podcast since 2009 Yeah Been doing that podcast for a while now granted the older episodes are not available online and or anywhere because Reasons we changed the name so many times we Changed hosts too many times things have been lost But I think everything like to 2017 is still there have older podcasts somewhere on youtube You really wanted the older stuff But anyways, yeah, that's the other podcast that I do We have a good time Yeah, I know skype I can't help it that we've been using skype forever. We hate it We're probably gonna I think we're trying zoom next time, which is probably not any better I'd like to actually get them to use jitzy, but I don't think that they would Those guys aren't into linux and open source like I am. I mean rickey is he was actually on the first episodes of the linux cast way back in 2017 He started it with me, but I don't think he's still into linux Although he might be and I don't I don't even know Why skype? It's just because that's what we've always used and Vince isn't technological all that much. I mean, he knows computers, but he's not a nerd like the rest of us so Uh, we just used the thing that we've always used Well, like I said, I think we're gonna try zoom next time because he's familiar with that as well And it at least should be a little bit better. Even if it's not, you know, morally better I would like them to Like sign up for discord and we could just use discord because I'm very familiar with recording from discord, but I don't know. It's it's just something we do Am I surprised that audacity took this long? No Surprised that I didn't remember that it was going to take this long with four cores. It was always going to take a while It's going to take a while Have I done a bsd yet? No, I haven't done a bsd yet though. I'm sure tyler is going to eventually talk me into it Maybe someday I want an easy one first Like I was watching some of that stuff that uh tyler was doing last night on his stream Like he says it's easy, but it was beyond me some of it Mostly because I'm just an idiot not because it's probably actually all that hard But when it comes to some stuff, I just can't get it takes me a while very slow When it comes to everything Ha ha Look how long it took me to figure out how to do cfdesk earlier By the way, what's my plan? I'm patreon. I don't have a plan. I'm patreon goal I watched that insulate on installation tyler did of that too And uh, yeah, that's never gonna happen either probably Yeah, I've heard ghost bsd is the one that I want to try It's probably the one that I'll go with when I give that a try. I have that on my list to do But my list keeps getting bigger every single day I haven't recorded a video in three days, by the way. I've been doing other things Now I got to record a video tonight That's why I need this to hurry up I've been streaming now for an hour and 53 minutes, which is about a half an hour longer than what I was going to 97 percent 98 percent Like watching grass grow The grass is growing It's growing some more It has grown And then it died only, you know in trodden I don't even know what I was gonna say. I lost it. I know I knew it was gonna take a while and it's done. There we go. Yay So I can't type for the dam anymore at all Okay, I'll go back here so Do I've been told I can do this sbo install And then i3 gaps Oops, that's not what I wanted to do. Yep. Yep. These are all the dependencies Make sure the name is how they spell it on the website, which I think it did. I get it. I think I did it, right i3-gaps Yeah It seems to be working Yes There we go How long that takes it won't take as long as audacity. I don't think It'll be pretty fast, but honestly, hey lk larry you told me i3-gaps won't work. We're gonna see if you're right or not Yeah, i'm still going. Oh, wait a minute tfl's here. Ah tfl's here It is awful early for you my friend I think that's a success And zany's still in the chat I was calling you earlier tyler Before though, okay. So the other thing was the lacquerty. So That's what it's called, right? So and so what you're saying tfl is that you hear someone talk about i3 and you're just like Did somebody call me? It installed it's installed the menu as a dependency You get the i3 The idiot's guide to making i3 actually good. What do you think is bad about i3 josh? I don't understand I mean what what part of it is is upsetting to you I hear the i3 is in the wind Make your gaps bigger i3 make your gaps get bigger I'm just gonna put this out there, but if it'll lacquerty actually builds here Slackware will then have been better Than debian was because I could not get a lacquerty to build on debian I did get it built to build on mx linux For a minute and then I did a reboot and then it went away I literally Went back into mx linux after a reboot And audacity or a lacquerty was no longer in the The launcher I don't know why All right, so i3 uses just a standard readable configuration. It's not an actual language It's just something you have to kind of get used to It's not bad. I don't think it's it could be worse. They could use yaml I mean if they used yaml you'd be you'd be upset about it. So I think it's okay. If you've ever configured polybards, it's basically the same structure Some some somewhat it's not exactly the same obviously, but it's it's a readable kind of stuff It actually built pretty fast. I was actually very very very impressed with that No, but yaml has all those stupid Rules about you know spacing and shit. I hate yaml Can't stand it Yep, that's exactly what it is. It's key equals value. It's exactly what it is And it works fine Okay, I mean if you can If you can uh configure dwm or Awesome wm or something like that you can do i3 no problem because it's way easier And josh if you want to use something that is less manual look for a package called auto auto tiling That basically makes it not so manual It's good. It's what I use You can actually show you if you want me to and go to eight here auto tiling does this Like this. That's what auto tiling does. It's just a package and you put it in your auto start file and it does this basically what it does is it alternates between uh vertical spawn mode and horizontal every other one every time you open up a new client it does that It's kind of makes it bspwm quite honestly, but it's good So let's quit out of this The next thing we need to do Is uh doing ls here dash a Now we're in downloads cd up a level doing ls here ls dash a again Them in it Them in it x in it rc So this does What exactly is it doing so start the window manager? Why are they calling kd a window manager stop doing that? if desktop session which is defined up Not defined actually up there desktop session Probably it's probably a global variable then Somebody just told me something so let's see here By the way slide builds is official. Wait blah blah blah Put your x in it rc.i 3 and slash x in it so that You can use xwm config. I don't know what that means so nice put your You repeated yourself there, but I don't know what I said. I don't know what that means Honestly, I kind of want a login manager or display manager. It'd be so much better Just be able to choose sessions like that But I don't understand. I don't see the reason why I can't just Comment all this stuff out here and just do exec i3. I mean Why wouldn't that work? This stuff probably can stay But just get rid of this if statement Do this All right, somebody's gonna have to tell me what xwm config is. I don't actually know what that is What are the best programming language it has? the command Okay, so if I fine Hold on So again, I just leave this here then get out of that What's your telling me I needed to do was cd into slash etsy x11 Which I don't actually see Because that's because it's capitalized and then Unless x in it is So So there's not already an i3 gaps one there So I can just run Do I actually need to create that x in it that i3 the thing or is it just use this one to x wm config i'm gonna try that Let's see if you guys are right what called xwm config x wm config Haha, that's awesome. All right Enter generate config enter win key And we actually have a terminal here so we can do x rander dash s 19 20 by 10 80 There we go clear that now cd into.config I through i3 Vim config. Oops. Ah And then Then config my damn alias is not here. You change this to Now, where is this? i3 sensible terminal alacrity Save this restart this enter. There's alacrity boom I through I through gaps winning that is cool I I through gaps on slack where here's proof like winning And alacrity alacrity installed and built built on slack where and it wouldn't undebian so In the battle of best olas distro slack where wins Okay, so friends. Thank you for watching I have got to stop the stream before it goes on too much longer because i'll just say here all nine Continue tinkering and then there won't be no video for tomorrow, which will make everybody really sad Also will make my view count sad. So Yeah, that is going to be the end of this stream. Thanks everybody who's watched. Thanks everybody who has helped me For go through this and answered all my idiotic and silly newbie question questions. I really do appreciate that Before I go I should probably do the patreon thing So you can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash linuxcast where you'll find uh early videos And I should thank these people robert said devon patrick fred kramer maglind jackson i'm tool steve ace every going to scare xamiel kb t gb Mitchell j-dog carbon dated jeremy shawnt odin martini andy ross edward omeric camp josh really peter a crucible dark benefit six primus and pm I really do appreciate everybody who watches all this stuff and supports me. I really do appreciate that. So
