That tag looks wrong to me

Kyle Gospo•8/27/24, 8:52 PM

Should just be :stable

j0rgeOP•8/27/24, 8:55 PM

I wish people would post their fricking logs instead of log fragments

KKyle Gospo That tag looks wrong to me

j0rgeOP•8/27/24, 8:57 PM

I looked it up in the registry and it seemed like the right tag to be on

antheas•8/27/24, 8:59 PM

i did 40-stable which was the legacy tag and stable-40

Jj0rge I looked it up in the registry and it seemed like the right tag to be on

Kyle Gospo•8/27/24, 9:03 PM

it's gonna cause them problems later

Kyle Gospo•8/27/24, 9:03 PM

like being stuck on 40 that never gets updates when we drop 41

j0rgeOP•8/27/24, 9:03 PM

well they weren't able to rebase to it apparently

Jj0rge I'm not sure this makes sense since we automate the update ...

FennecTECH•8/27/24, 9:11 PM

What’s the command i should do? This happens only after a system update

j0rgeOP•8/27/24, 9:12 PM

systemd-analyze critical-chainsystemd-analyze critical-chain is a good place to start.

jardon•8/27/24, 9:37 PM

it honestly is really depressing that one of the few GUI frameworks that supports linux is so hard to use. i mean google is a fraction of what they were but at least flutter isnt so nebulous

j0rgeOP•8/27/24, 9:37 PM

there's a reason native apps died on linux and everything is electron, but that's someone else's book to write, hah.

HikariKnight•8/27/24, 9:40 PM

i really enjoy the Qt framework and their documentation but sadly the bindings for the languages i use

HikariKnight•8/27/24, 9:41 PM

also all my GUIs suck

jardon•8/27/24, 9:42 PM

i love making GUIs but hot damn React is so much easier

Noel•8/27/24, 9:54 PM

I was just talking about this earlier and how frustrating it is that we basically have a split between GTK and QT.

Noel•8/27/24, 9:54 PM

and web has basically just taken over since it is the most popular platform in the world.

jardon•8/27/24, 10:03 PM

really i just want to feel like i have to have a PhD to get started on things. we need easier barriers to entry and good support which is not cheap. i was having an easier time writing menu items in gcc with c than i was making a button hide in yafti with python

jardon•8/27/24, 10:04 PM

but hey give it like two more years and we'll all be read bedtime stories by sam altman in our headphones and none of this will matter

this is with a custom boxkit image

with a boxkit image, anyone know how to copy files into the user's HOME dir?

M2•8/28/24, 1:03 AM

You can't... You can use a custom home for distrobox container and place desired files into /etc/skel

For the actual command, distrobox enter overrides that and has an entry point. You can provide an environment variable of SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh for it to set the users shell to zsh

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:46 AM

yeah, the model is predicated on the system, touching the user space is tricky, some would call a purposeful barrier for blast radius reasons.

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:46 AM

which is why usually if you wanna mess with it it's on boot and then a thing runs vs. doing it at the build step

one off service units are useful too, see the bazzite and bluefin repos for examples

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:48 AM

Wait wdym

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:48 AM

let me find one

M2•8/28/24, 2:49 AM

If your boxkit has init.... You can run systemd one shot services to run configurations for you. You can also use systemd-tmpfiles as well

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:49 AM

oh you mean inside the boxkit

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:49 AM

sorry I swapped to OS mode

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

I'd be interested in knowing the use case, what's the end goal?

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

Ohhh smart

Jj0rge I'd be interested in knowing the use case, what's the end goal?

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

I'm just tryna make a good dev env

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

That I can create multiple of

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

Also that I can ssh into

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

can you describe it a bit?

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

you shouldn't need to ssh to anything

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

I'll commit

Jj0rge you shouldn't need to ssh to anything

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:50 AM

Wdym

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:51 AM

the container is running on your machine, you just enter it, it's not like a VM

Jj0rge the container is running on your machine, you just enter it, it's not like a VM

Frityet•8/28/24, 2:56 AM

Yeah, but if I'm using vscode from another machine and want to ssh into it, it's really awkward and doesn't work well unless I directly ssh into the box

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:57 AM

ok so if you're looking to do remote stuff use the remote extension in vscode to connect to a devcontainer, boxkit is like "I want my own distrobox"

j0rgeOP•8/28/24, 2:57 AM

two different use cases

# RUN ln -fs /bin/sh /usr/bin/sh && \ # ln -fs /usr/bin/distrobox-host-exec /usr/local/bin/docker && \ # ln -fs /usr/bin/distrobox-host-exec /usr/local/bin/podman RUN chsh -s $(which zsh) CMD [ "zsh" ]
