| DashiePie | is anyone familiar with retroarch? | 04:00 |
|---|---|---|
| DashiePie | anyone know why retroarch won't download cores from the core updater menu? | 04:18 |
| gnarface | DashiePie: dunno, check to make sure your download url is correct in the config file | 05:13 |
| DashiePie | I think it's because the cores folder is set to where apt/aptitude would set them | 05:13 |
| DashiePie | I am dumb, but I just need to unhide hidden folders and set it to the cores folder in .config instead, I s'pose | 05:14 |
| DashiePie | well, the psp core works, so that's good, but unfortunately, the mupen64plus core they have seems to disable my hotkeys and controller? not sure why that is, but I can't play games with it | 06:04 |
| gnarface | maybe it's just grabbing something else as the default controller instead | 06:17 |
| gnarface | i would have to assume they have separate controller configs | 06:17 |
| gnarface | device mappings not button mappings, but maybe both | 06:17 |
| gnarface | i'm not familiar with retroarch specifically, but it has to be able to find the right device from a list in /dev/input/ and /dev/hidraw* | 06:18 |
| gnarface | steam games get it wrong too sometimes | 06:18 |
| gnarface | but could be a permissions issue too | 06:19 |
| DashiePie | it worked with the package manager core, mupen64plus 2.0, but it didn't with the retroarch download core 2.2 | 07:03 |
| DashiePie | not sure what I did, or if I really did anything, but it totally screwed the pooch | 07:03 |
| DashiePie | when I start a game with that core, I can't even use esc to close retroarch, or f1 to open the menu | 07:04 |
| DashiePie | works with the psp core | 07:04 |
| DashiePie | different controller, but I don't know why that'd make a difference | 07:04 |
| DashiePie | so to summarize, it should work, but something's running interference, and I don't know what | 07:06 |
| DashiePie | it may be that I have two mupen64plus cores, but honestly, they're in entirely different places, and I don't know why that'd affect anything | 07:06 |
| azg256 | VERSION | 08:25 |
| linux_party | iLinux OS rocks! https://ilinuxos.com | 12:07 |
| Joril | is that a new distribution made by Apple? :D | 14:02 |
| linux_party | @Joril Nope! | 15:52 |
| linux_party | But it’s interface is better than macOS’s… | 15:55 |
| mason | My interface is better than MacOS too. I run Openbox. | 16:04 |
| MinceR | almost all interfaces are | 16:20 |
| MinceR | maybe it's made by cisco or logitech | 16:20 |
| tarzeau | not if you look at the APIs and how to program software using that api | 16:21 |
| tarzeau | macOS APIs have evolved since 1988, and are still widely popular, on macos/ios obviously, but also using gnustep | 16:21 |
| tarzeau | i mean if you have ever written graphical software, you'll agree qt or gtk is not the greatest things, neither is java with swing | 16:22 |
| mason | tarzeau: 1988 is a bit late - but this might be better in #devuan-offtopic | 16:25 |
| linux_party | iLinux GUI is a mix of Mate, Openbox, Tint2 and many custom interface elements. | 16:26 |
| linux_party | iLinux OS can even run on an Atom or Pentium 4 CPU… | 16:33 |
| mason | linux_party: This also would be better in #devuan_offtopic, since it's not wildly focussed on Devuan itself. | 16:33 |
| MinceR | popularity proves nothing | 16:35 |
| buZz | its literally proprietary, GPL-violating | 16:46 |
| MinceR | that explains the 'i', then | 16:48 |
| buZz | i thought the i stood for ugly | 16:49 |
| buZz | same as with apple | 16:49 |
| MinceR | :) | 16:51 |
| buZz | or just a remainder from the clone of the iPaq | 16:52 |
| buZz | 'hey they have a i , so should we!' | 16:52 |
| MinceR | :> | 16:52 |
| MinceR | yeah, i forgot that compaq used this prefix too | 16:53 |
| fsmithred | what init system does it use? | 16:53 |
| buZz | fsmithred: its debian 10 with a custom WM | 16:53 |
| buZz | maybe not even custom | 16:53 |
| buZz | so, systemd | 16:53 |
| buZz | there's no source, the only download source is a google drive O_o | 16:53 |
| fsmithred | i can find one glowing review of it | 16:55 |
| fsmithred | on at least two websites | 16:55 |
| buZz | i think its just a week old or something | 16:56 |
| onefang | I think it's #devuan_offtopic. | 16:56 |
| buZz | whatever, just nonsense spam | 16:56 |
| buZz | onefang: agreed | 16:56 |
| mason | buZz: FWIW, it's not strictly violating the GPL. There's a distinction between a business relationship and a license. It might subvert the spirit of the license, but the GPL only applies to people who receive the software from you, so if you don't get the software from them, they're not obligated to provide source. That said, I have no idea at all if their linking their EULA from their download page and | 17:04 |
| mason | saying to read it before downloading has enforceable meaning if they're not doing something to register that someone has agreed to the EULA. | 17:04 |
| buZz | mason: right, they are just giving binaries without source, while claiming its opensource software | 17:05 |
| buZz | i guess GPL requires for a request for source | 17:05 |
| buZz | but i'm not gonna use their only contact info , a phone number in greece ... | 17:05 |
| mason | Yeah, it varies between GPLv2 and v3 even. They've certainly created a messy, confusing situation, regardless of what they've done with the software. :P | 17:05 |
| buZz | its just spam, anyway | 17:06 |
| buZz | imho not only the advertizing, but also the distro | 17:06 |
| mason | I wonder if they were more trolling or spamming, though. I'd think trolling, given that folks in here very likely aren't going to see their set-up and think "wow, that's for me...." | 17:06 |
| buZz | in the same way that xubuntu/kubuntu/eubuntu/whatever are spam | 17:07 |
| buZz | he was doing the exact same on many other channels, mason | 17:07 |
| buZz | or is, even | 17:07 |
| mason | Alright, that weights it towards being spam. I hadn't seen it, but I'm in a weird mix of channels. | 17:07 |
| buZz | i saw it in #arduino and #armbian | 17:08 |
| dreamer | oh lol, they even came in here | 17:13 |
| dreamer | damn spambots. | 17:13 |
| buZz | yeah wasnt paying attention earlier on, sorry | 17:16 |
| xinomilo | OT, i believe i know the developer.. but first time i hear of this distro though.. | 18:52 |
