i already enabled amd gpu in the graphics settings in the kernel .config file
2023-07-28
<mako2>
i downloaded another kernel then compiled it without touching .config
<sewn>
CONFIG_FB is not set
<mako2>
can someone take a look at my .config for the linux-6.4.6 kernel
2023-07-27
<mako2>
some people can even boot it up without touching the .config file
2023-07-26
<mako2>
idk, i want the bg to change from the config file
<mako2>
i did reload my config
<sewn>
you have to reload sway config dont forget htat
<mako2>
i cant change the background in sway config

<xdream8[m]>
nope it does not have any config options for these
<testuser[m]>
check if toybox has config options to enable these
<depressed_pigeon>
Enable what you want/need. Nevermind the rest. Gives you a more lean config
<xdream8[m]>
i will try it. it seems first i need a config like busybox
2023-07-24
<rottatorg>
doesn't seem to be the same problem there and i couldn't find anything in the earlier logs. i tried messing with the framebuffer configs a bit but it hasnt helped
<rottatorg>
i can post kernel config if there isn't something more obvious that could cause this
<rory50>
OK my config input mousedev isn't set in kernel
<depressed_pigeon>
For keyboard, it seems I only have CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD and CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD. Nut sure what the last one is, as im on my phone atm
2023-07-15
<sad_plan>
it seems that I should be able to view it, but it requires CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR to be enabled in kernel. which ive not enabled. /proc/pid/smaps should as far as I can tell from the manpage show usage.

once you know what it is, the gentoo wiki usually has through kernel config

Hello, im having wifi problems on my thinkpad X230. I have all the firmware set in .config but it doesnt seem to get loaded. ip a shows wlan interface.
2023-07-12
<xdream8[m]>
grep "=m" .config
<sad_plan>
sujo: I think you can grep =m in the .config file. which would easily check if youve set anything to module
<xdream8[m]>
sujo: you can do `cat .config | grep "=m"`
<xdream8[m]>
i had built my kernel config with make allnoconfig in the past. it was totally a torture but it was worth it and i still use it
<xdream8[m]>
you may also need CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM.
<xdream8[m]>
check if you have enabled CONFIG_FB
2023-07-08
<xdream8[m]>
everytime you make a change to your shell profile or config make sure to source it.

im tierd of exporting echoing parts, i want to see exactly config file
<username14>
is there .config file for kiss where can see this exported flags
2023-06-25
<feenix>
having trouble with a package im porting myself. its a really simple one. just a single Makefile. readme says make and make config. the problem is kiss allows it to directly install its files to system /usr/bin while its building. rather than to .cache/kiss/proc. doesn't come with a configure file either.
2023-06-09
<illiliti>
by removing muon_static option, we tell muon/libpkgconf to use default pkg config path while keeping static build
<illiliti>
because it breaks discovery of packages that have pkg config file installed
2023-06-05
<dilyn>
setting hostonly in config results in success. Will investigate why soon enough
<dilyn>
I think the way would just be a zfs.init.late that checks if a var is set in config and mounts datasets - trivial with a zfs mount -a BUT if you're doing a dual boot off a single pool and have datasets setup like I do you'd need to set a different passphrase on the root datasets so that you don't get a collision -- because rpool/kiss was made after
<illiliti>
specify it in config
<dilyn>
I think I'm JUST screwing up the config tbh
<dilyn>
I'll test later today with an updated config, seems like it should work then. thank you so much <3

2023-03-29
<aelspire>
as programmer I'm in favour or using sane libraries instead of adding scripting language to config
<aelspire>
and other view is allow user to pipe current file into user specified command, but it would require writting some config
<midfavila>
why would you need configs?
<aelspire>
vs. spawn shell and run user provided command here, oh and you need to write your config files
2023-03-28
<midfavila>
and configs aren't quite ported yet
2023-03-22
<phoebos>
did you do the git config gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile .allowed_signers
2023-03-09
<rohan>
i used the default config for foot
<sad_plan>
nothing about your config that would cause it? can you replicate it with same config on say gentoo?
2023-03-05
<sewn>
look at dmesg and config again
<rohan>
yeah but is the same config i used
<sewn>
kernel config issue it seems
<rohan>
still the same config when i used kiss months ago
2023-02-25
<sad_plan>
ah. I have no clue. I havent really needed to mess with much config files in X at all. things have luckily mostly worked for me :p

you also dont need libinput etc, or xkeyboard-config and so on. which I find really nice

oh i have a repo on my gitea to store some of my configs and i install them using kiss
<tprepper>
wasn't sure if the Gentoo kernel config I found for my ThinkPad model would work on 6.1.8
<windy-aftermath>
so is there a convenient way to get notified when a new Linux kernel releases? I would imagine I need to setup the config file only once, so the build process for updates will just be downloading and building the new source using the old config?
2023-01-27
<tprepper>
maybe I'm configuring it wrong? I just edit the .config file...
<testuser[m]>
CONFIG_FB_EFI *
<testuser[m]>
is CONFIG_EFI_FB enabled
2023-01-22
<sad_plan>
do that. oh, you can also still use runit. just make a custom busybox config which only enables the service manager. hell, you can enable the init aswell, and use something else for the rest of coreutils etc..
<sewn>
I'll look into it after perfecting my kernel config

either via kernel .config or via your bootloader

i dont think it even gets all of the configs

did I seriously lose my server kernel config

I still haven't been able to figure out kernel ipv6 config for server. I enabled all ipv6 related stuff but dhdpcd just doesn't get an ipv6 address
<wael_>
the diff from config and config-uid is fucking 2000 lines long
<sad_plan>
create one config with things that does not need suid, then create a new one, which enabled things that do need setuid
<wael_>
how am i supposed to make a .config and .config-suid like kiss build
<sad_plan>
I could however create a new config for it, to fix my other.. issues
<sad_plan>
not even xkeyboard-config
<wael_>
i dont think it sets permissions and groups on files like mdevd does in the mdev like a boss config
2023-01-13
<Ogromny>
@sad_beauty what's your oasis config ? Like if you can get everything from nix/pkgsrc why not just install the most minimalist oasis possible (with the strict bare minimum) and get everything with nix/pkgsrc
<soliwilos>
You can also edit the wallpaper in the config and reload (not restart) to change it.
<soliwilos>
hikari has wallpaper support built-in, set it it's config file.

<illiliti>
generic config != generic package
<dilynm>
I mean hell I could devise a generic config that could work for 80% of systems
<dilynm>
I mean it would really be as easy as putting something like CONFIG_NVME=1\nCONFIG_EXT4=1 into some file, setting a variable to point at that file, running the build, and then them running whatever they would otherwise have to run
<dilynm>
You just have a variable that allows adding a generic config that overrides default values
<illiliti>
generic kernel is a kernel that just work, right? if i need to make some changes to config, it is not generic
<dilynm>
For instance they could use a config that enables all of the things they need to be built-in
2022-12-22
<asdfhjkl>
dilynm - one more thing, about initramfs, i know i know ... but i'm thinking about not only trying to provide the most easily sources available, but it'd be nice to have a kernel option available that just supported tons of hardware out of the box, any recommended tool for generating initramfs? I'm thinking about using arch default config options,
2022-12-21

Maybe it's about alpine's kernel config

And the positional variables you use on that config script are assigned by the build script

Because you're writing the config script using cat <<EOF

so I'was turning on random option found on gentoo wiki until it worked and now this config is a mess
<aelspire>
I've managed to make touchpad working in linux kernel. It was hellish ride. Much more problematic than my root drive missing due to lack od VMD. And now my kernel config is a mess. Anyone have idea how to nicely organize kernel config? I consider something like git repo containing empty config with or without config fragments, and in separate commits I'll add more functionality for e.g commit: Make touchpad working. Any better idea?
2022-11-22
<sad_plan>
aelspire: what issue do you suppose is there when having your kernel config tracked with git? I do this, and tbh, its a great way to keep track of it. however I have in a kiss repo, and have kiss build my kernel for me instead of doing it manually
<aelspire>
Main problem with git repo will be config changes due to new kernel versions

2022-11-14
<sad_plan>
Makeallyes config is really great to filter out what absolutely is not needed. But it doesnt work unless modules are already actually loaded. So its not really applicable when in kiss..
<sad_plan>
What testuser said. Well, i just used gentoo wiki, which provided me with what I needed for extra firmware. Else you can also use makeallyes config with a arch linux config while chrooting to kiss. Ive done that. Or you can also lsmod to see what modules are active.
<sad_plan>
its a website. it goes through the kernel configuration process, and points out what different configs do, and wether or not you might need them. I know most of this is sortof outlined in the help section for earch config, but it still helps shed abit more light on some of them
<wael_>
mfw minimal config
<sad_plan>
macslash1[m]: exacly. however, the kernel doesnt have a all-no config option, so you have a to create a new config, then do some sed magic to remove everything effiecnelty
<sad_plan>
do an all-no config, its way more fun. also a great learning experience
2022-11-07
<hackexe>
I ran that on my local slackware box and loaded that config while chrooted into KISS
<wael_>
if i were you id go from a live bloated system and chroot into it and make a config with 'make localyesconfig'
<wael_>
that makes the default config
<hackexe>
Yep, that's how I did it initially until the kernel hung on PCI bridge error. Tried to compare Slack's config but that's futile, too much shit going on to find which module I need to get passed that. Or if a module is what makes it halt
<wael_>
all stuff in my kernel config are marked as built-in and not a module
<hackexe>
But you know what I haven't tried with this full Slackware config

sturn[m]: if you build your GPU drivers *into the kernel* you need to list the firmware in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, and it doesn't do { ... } expansion. if you build it as modules, you just need the firmware to be in /lib/firmware in the right locations and it will all Just Werk(tm)

yeah, I was thinking about trying to use the oasis config file as far as I could. I suppose I could package more or less everything except the browser part. seeing as webkit i.e. or firefox is just not feasable to do that way..

idk maybe you could hack something up in awk and shell to generate kiss packages from oasis config files

well.. its not really a package manager. its more of a config file, which gives a set of rules really

illiliti: creating a pc file for llvm is basically trivial, given that all the information is known at build-time (or queryable at run-time with llvm-config)
<sad_plan>
ok, never used the def config on toybox, but the current config is a little less than 1m iirc. 800k or something
<sad_plan>
the size will also differ from the config you use
2022-08-22
<phoebos>
you'd need two configs
2022-08-21
<phoebos>
we could provide a .config to start with
<Ogromny>
If you want a "good" default kernel .config, we can use voidlinux .config, that's what I did and it worked pretty well
<dilyn>
i think we might have to create some new variables for KISS specifically for this venture; an install path for the kernel (because nobody ever seems to just want to use /boot, thanks arch...), potentially the location of a config file a user might want to supply (keep a simple pre-build hook...)...
<dilyn>
the way to provide a custom config would, I think, be best handled by forking a package, but that might just be due to lack of imagination on my part. Intervening in KISS package builds is difficult by design. You could always make it so that kernel builds prompt for config options, but that is the opposite of solving this problem unfortunately:\
<dilyn>
users may be prompted to make decisions on new config options, but you can spoof selections on those in an automated way as well
<dilyn>
make oldconfig reconciles the config and sanity checks it, so if you echo some new config option to the end of a .config file the Kconfig system will make sure everything works as it should
<dilyn>
It's... semi-trivial to customize a kernel config in this case...

afaik you can do that via dhcpcd config

dhcpcd config is default one

2022-07-07
<stjohn>
sidd-dino: X can be fiddly about these things. If you built the driver as a module, first thing is to run modprobe to load that module. If it's still not working automatically you may need to create a custom config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.

By the way, the version of libx11 in the xkeyboard-config package is obsolete (1.7.2 => 1.7.3.1)

dilyn: if you only want to check [ -f "$my_config" ] you could use access(2)

I generated the config through `make defconfig` btw

guest69: alot of packages are getting outdated. not just pigz and xkeyboard-config
<Guest69>
The `pigz` and `xkeyboard-config` packages need to be updated
<sad_plan>
ah. just follow the installation guide really. the only difference is the kernel config, which is way easier to do in a wm. theres a video on how to do so. ill link it

anyone can send me a .config kernel file for VM machine

<omanom>
for virtualbox, i set the VM's graphics controller to "VBoxVGA" and made sure the vboxvideo driver was built in the kernel (CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO)

illiliti and i believe this config does the correct thing wrt libudev-zero-helper
<illiliti>
maximum_yellow: something wrong with your config and/or /dev permissions

For some reason hotplugging in sway doesn't seem to work, but it does with mdevd and the same config file (the default one, to be sure)
<j`ey>
ah it uses CONFIG_INSTALL_APPLET_DONT=y
<j`ey>
anyne know about the busybox build? I see it uses make CONFIG_PREFIX="$1/usr" install

I need to poke at the kernel config this guy was having trouble with, but it takes forever for my computer to build anything.

not incorrect, there's just a couple of bits like @DOC_DIR@ which are substituted in at build time, and the list of config options in neomuttrc(5) depends on what you pass to ./configure

yes that first one does indeed set the llvm-config to the right value
