| cry0xen | guys, I am bit curious about the source code installation process. few days ago I installed my realtek wireless driver using git-bash process and suddenly it was gone. I believe I git clone to my desktop folder and later removed it by mistake while cleaning up. tar sources are also installed using the same bash process. someone here taught me about check install and thnx to him now my random experiences are going lot smoother i need to understand | 08:34 |
| cry0xen | what happens to these source extracts. If i remove them does the installed software gets removed? | 08:34 |
| crax23 | No, the driver module gets installed into /usr/lib/module at 'make install' stage for ex. the sources in your git folder don't matter anymore. Same goes for a program it goes installed in /usr/local/ usually. | 09:06 |
| cry0xen | thank you so much. makes sense | 09:21 |
| cry0xen | it wouldve been nicer if there was a installer for this kinda thing. and from the looks of it, the process is same whether the source obtained from git clone or tar. | 09:29 |
| crax23 | People who use Ubuntu usually stick to the apps from the package manager, or snaps etc, they don't build things from sources, only if you need a very special thing or to modify a software yourself or..for drivers. | 09:38 |
| crax23 | For a normal user or even for a server machine it usually uneeded. Even developer they may only build out their own software but won't build drivers or gimp etc, they use the packaged version. | 09:40 |
| cry0xen | I am trying to install regular apps and more than half of them are not available on appstore. ryt now i am looking for redshift alternative (redshift doesnt work cause of location issue) and it was samewith auscoumer 600 driver, xubuntu doclike plugin, baka-mplayer and so on. | 09:48 |
| cry0xen | as i cant do anything by myself all i can do is to learn the ways and hope for better methods in future. i have only gone through 5 (ppa-deb/softwere manager/flatpak/snap/bash) and may be a few more installation process left that i need to teach myself | 09:53 |
| lotuspsychje | cry0xen: try firefox dark reader addon | 09:54 |
| lotuspsychje | combined with gnome dark mode, i got my systems dark and good for my eyes | 09:54 |
| lotuspsychje | https://darkreader.org/ | 09:55 |
| cry0xen | ahh thank you | 09:56 |
| lotuspsychje | i dont like redshift & night light too much myself | 09:58 |
| cry0xen | however they do help a lot. specially now doctor has recommended me eye drops to my eyes moist. | 10:00 |
| lotuspsychje | i dont know much about the medical part of redshift & co | 10:01 |
| lotuspsychje | does it really filter the bad things out | 10:01 |
| cry0xen | i dont know about technical things either. All i know whenever i lower it to 4200 my eyes feel more comfortable looking at screen | 10:05 |
| cry0xen | its not a mental thingy. it happens with my smartphone too. so i always keep it turned on (with low brightness) unless I am watching video | 10:07 |
| lotuspsychje | cry0xen: android has a dark mode too | 10:09 |
| luna | watching the Ubuntu Pro Webinar and might start working with Ubuntu at the new work i might start at in 2 weeks | 15:45 |
| lotuspsychje | did you score a canonical job luna ? | 15:45 |
| luna | nope | 15:46 |
| luna | work at the local commune | 15:46 |
| luna | but they install Ubuntu on older computers for some people | 15:46 |
| luna | when the Windows license has expired or they are too old to run Windows 10 properly | 15:49 |
| Y05hito__ | Luna in EU country? | 16:05 |
| luna | Y05hito__: yeah | 16:06 |
| luna | Sweden | 16:06 |
| Y05hito__ | ok. | 16:06 |
| cry0xen | what are dependencies for baka-mplayer or mpc-qt | 18:24 |
| cry0xen | where do I get them | 18:24 |
| cry0xen | https://github.com/u8sand/Baka-MPlayer/ | 18:24 |
| cry0xen | https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt | 18:25 |
| murmel | cry0xen: they are likely in the repos | 18:26 |
| cry0xen | I tried to install them but failed | 18:26 |
| murmel | how? | 18:26 |
| cry0xen | qmake? | 18:27 |
| murmel | there is qmake6 and qmake5 in 22.10 repos | 18:27 |
| murmel | cry0xen: apt search --names-only <package> will probably help you find the correct package | 18:29 |
| cry0xen | murmel: https://files.catbox.moe/4igcan.png | 18:33 |
| murmel | cry0xen: you would need to look for the right names, as every distro has different names for the same package, for example qt5-base https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qtbase | 18:36 |
| * cry0xen jumps from 3rd floor | 18:37 | |
| cry0xen | thnx man.... it worked. now i am stuck with building libmpv. i will try myself if i fail i have you guys :) | 18:39 |
| murmel | cry0xen: oO libmpv-dev? | 18:40 |
| cry0xen | yeah | 18:40 |
| murmel | which exists? so why build it from source | 18:40 |
| cry0xen | yeah i just found that from apt search. i thought app developers like their users "sucker for abuse" | 18:41 |
| daftykins | puzzled why you're installing exotic things to start with tbh | 18:42 |
| cry0xen | old story u already know. network stream | 18:42 |
| daftykins | o0 | 18:43 |
| daftykins | nevermind everyone's life needs a bit of mystery! | 18:43 |
| murmel | yeah I also wonder, using mpv just fine with network streams | 18:44 |
| cry0xen | i am having trouble on xubuntu | 18:46 |
| murmel | with? | 18:46 |
| murmel | cry0xen: as xubuntu uses the same mpv, I wonder which problems you have | 18:48 |
| cry0xen | seek while playing network streams | 18:49 |
| murmel | cry0xen: can you give an example link? | 18:50 |
| cry0xen | In my country ISP provide ftp servers full of multimedia contents (like 300-400 TB of contents) | 18:51 |
| cry0xen | https://imgur.com/K4sqptf.png | 18:51 |
| cry0xen | i want to have supreme potplayer experience that i used to have back in windows | 18:51 |
| daftykins | 100% doubt an ISP is conducting piracy | 18:51 |
| cry0xen | https://potplayer.daum.net/ | 18:51 |
| * daftykins walks away | 18:52 | |
| murmel | cry0xen: honestly, before building from source, try the flatpak version if that works, as it's newer | 18:53 |
| murmel | so you know if you want to compile it | 18:53 |
| cry0xen | theres a flatpak // ... where | 18:54 |
| murmel | https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.mpv.Mpv | 18:54 |
| cry0xen | oh mpv | 18:55 |
| murmel | so? it's literally what baka uses | 18:55 |
| murmel | baka is just a random gui for mpv | 18:55 |
| cry0xen | i understand that however some media player is performing better than others... its not that i havent tried | 18:56 |
| cry0xen | moonplayer clipper passed | 18:56 |
| cry0xen | vlc crashes when i seek | 18:57 |
| cry0xen | i started with arch wiki app list | 18:57 |
| cry0xen | trying through all the apps | 18:57 |
| murmel | cry0xen: sounds like it's not software issue then | 18:57 |
| cry0xen | i dunno but i wanna try and do as much experiment so that i can learn and understand the system/commands faster. when the system breaks i will wipe and install stable lubuntu | 18:59 |
| cry0xen | ryt now you jsut taught me apt search and libmpv-dev | 19:00 |
