Hardware / RESOLVED: No wifi after latest...
Last post by devlin7 - Mon Dec 25 05:55:29 2023Thanks Thierry
So glad it is working. I switched to some other distros I had preloaded on other hard drives, it was painfully slow.
Have a great Xmas, mine here in NZ is just about done.

Last post by Thierry - Sun Dec 24 18:12:46 2023Hi ndawka
Thanks a lot for you detailed mail. We will have a look at it. Probably not too complicated to add them (at least the 2 firsts one)
Let's see after the new year is over.
We'll come back to you.

Last post by ndawka - Sat Dec 23 12:15:20 2023Hi!
Installing Nvidia drivers on NuTyX is pretty simple. I depends on two factors:
[li]and your GPU model, could be checked by installing neofetch (either by using flcards, a graphical cards manager, or by entering (or pasting)

Now with that information in mind, we could install the correct driver from the ones listed on this page: https://nutyx.org/en/?type=pkg&branch=rolling&arch=x86_64&searchpkg=nvidia.
Example configuration (latest stable kernel: 6.5.13 and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080). I would enter (or paste):
If you could reply with your kernel from the first command and the GPU line from your second command, further assistance can be provided.

Sorry for a late response :(
I was planning on adding three packages, actually:
As a side note I tried compiling iftop, but only managed succesfully compiling the stable 0.17 version and only when I followed https://nutyx.org/en/faq#7. But I guess that is pretty simple to do and I just am not knowledgeable enough, even though I tried to follow instructions posted on https://nutyx.org/en/documentation#3. I might also need help with Zig for the same reason.
The one I was specifically talking about is the julia package. I has a juliaup utility (https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup), that can be used to easily install, update and remove julia from a machine. The interesting part is, that it can be used to update and remove itself as well. So, generally speaking, I would believe the logic would be to do the following:
These are the solutions I came up with. Perhaps you would do something differently, as NuTyX developer. But if I could always use the latest stable version of julia on my rolling NuTyX release, that would be great!

I was planning on adding three packages, actually:
- iftop - https://pdw.ex-parrot.com/iftop/ - A network monitor (couldn't find better alternatives)
- zig - https://ziglang.org - A modern replacement for C and has simpler syntax than Rust
- julia - https://julialang.org - Just a generally faster alternative to Python, because of the JIT compiler

- sudo cards install julia: on rolling - download juliaup if not present then install the latest stable version of julia, on testing - download juliaup if not present then install the latest upcoming release (beta) version of julia (information on channels could be found in the available system provided channels section on that same GitHub Juliaup page)
- sudo cards upgrade: on rolling - install the latest version of juliaup (using juliaup self update) then update julia to the latest stable version, on testing - install the latest version of juliaup (using juliaup self update) then update julia to the latest upcoming release (beta) version (notably, AFAIK juliaup could be used to install multiple versions of julia, so, perhaps, all installed versions of julia should be updated after juliaup updates itself)
- sudo cards remove julia: on rolling and testing - remove all installed versions of julia, then remove juliaup using juliaup self uninstall
These are the solutions I came up with. Perhaps you would do something differently, as NuTyX developer. But if I could always use the latest stable version of julia on my rolling NuTyX release, that would be great!

Hardware / No wifi after latest update
Last post by devlin7 - Fri Dec 22 18:26:25 2023Hi Team,
I have an old HP 650 laptop that I use as my daily driver. I updated Nutyx yesterday and lost my wifi completely. I swapped the hard drive out with another older distro and wifi was back, so I know the hardware hasn't failed. To check that something didn't break during the upgrade, I downloaded the latest XFCE ISO of Nutyx, it didn't see my wifi hardware.There has been talk of dropping older wifi drivers from the kernel for some time. Has that day finally come? I believe the wifi card is Ralink 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter.
Regards

Tell us about those packages, maybe they are easy to build. They can then easily be added into existing depot

General / New Package with Itself as a P...
Last post by ndawka - Wed Dec 13 15:59:38 2023Hello!
I am planning on adding a few packages to NuTyX. Unfortunately one of them has a non-standard way of installation (downloads a file using curl and installs by running sh on that command) and deinstallation (runs a command via itself with the uninstall flag to uninstall). It also updates via itself by running it with the update flag.
Is there any way to specify what should be run upon the cards install, cards upgrade and cards uninstall commands? And if so, could someone guide me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance!

Last post by ndawka - Sun Nov 19 12:55:36 2023You can try a couple of solutions, as per https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91620/efi-variables-are-not-supported-on-this-system.
First, please check, that the efivar package is installed using
