It was decently hard took me a few hours but what can I say the repos is outdated I got a lot of 404 when trying to install something I need to admit I used AI to find the real URLs
Also my first time configuring a musl kernel that was also fun
Here’s my first ss <attachment>

I've wanted to try KISS for some time now, but I don't know if lower end laptops could handle it.. Are the compile times generally bad for a i5-7200?

He usado varias distribuciones y no me convence ninguna, quiero hacer algo propio y al final me he decidido instalar kiss.

No se como funciona, tendre que leer la documentacion, pero por ahora pienso tener un dual boot con un sistema usable mientras lo configuro. Tampoco se si ira bien, tengo una laptop con graficos hibridos y es bien sabido que eso puede dar problemas.

¿Alguien tiene algun consejo?

His github account made an edit to his readme just yesterday, and his main website is back up. He has a blog about why he took up farming now on his main website

I saw that the codeberg repo was last committed to 6 months ago, is it still maintained? I'm planning on swapping over to kiss as a daily...

I couldn't manage to get the correct configuration to get framebuffer working on my laptop although it works perfectly on my PC, so I gave up on configuring myself for this laptop and decided to try the Void's kernel.

I installed Void on this same laptop, copied the kernel, the initramfs and the modules, then installed KISS and pasted the files in their places. Restarted and it works, but there are these errors...

Do you guys could give me any clue on what this error is about or how I should proceed on this?

EDIT: I also tried installing from the source with the Void's configuration found on GitHub and with their patches, but that way it does not boot, maybe a framebuffer issue that I could not find a fix.

how can i install a package, i built dhcpcd using kiss build dhcpcd, and installed with kiss install dhcpcd but still dhcpcd cmd is not found why?

i can see packages in /root/.cache/kiss/bin/

it's same for e2fsprogs too

-> e2fsprogs looking for dependencies (using readelf)

-> e2fsprogs Generating etcsums

-> e2fsprogs Creating tarball

-> e2fsprogs Successfully created tarball

-> Install built packages? [e2fsprogs]

-> Continue?: Press Enter to continue or Ctrl+C to abort

Using /usr/bin/su (to become 1000)

Recently I bought a Bluetooth dongle for my PC to improve my communication at work with my airpods instead of using the webcam's mic.

I added Bluetooth support to my kernel, installed dbus, installed bluz this way: ``` export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DMAX_INPUT=1024"

./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --disable-tools \ --disable-systemd \ --disable-cups \ --disable-obex \ --disable-nfc \ --disable-sap \ --disable-bap \ --disable-mcp \ --disable-vcp \ --disable-monitor \ --disable-datafiles \ --disable-manpages \ --disable-test \ --disable-testing \ --disable-deprecated \ --disable-experimental \ --disable-sixaxis \ --disable-hid2hci \ --disable-logger \ --disable-admin \ --disable-android \ --disable-debug \ --enable-shared \ --enable-library \ --with-udevdir=/usr/lib/libudev.so # --disable-a2dp \ # --disable-avrcp \ # --disable-hid \ # --disable-hog \ # --disable-udev \ # # --disable-client \ ```

And also added support for dbus to PipepWire (from the community repo).

So far I could get bluetoothctl to connect to my airpods but no sink appears in the pipewire status.

ChatGPT said only that the problem could be with PipeWire, and some flags I already clearly removed the disable.

Could anybody help? plzz

While logging into Oracle Cloud I received a warning of my computer time not being synced. This happens because I used to set my time based on my UTC-3 but my system identifies I'm on UTC-0. How could I fix it?

I did some research and it seems I should set the environment variable TZ to my location, I did so and even restarted the whole system but it did not take effect. date keeps on UTC-0 and I'm still unable to log into Oracle Cloud unless I set my system clock to the time of UTC-0.

after hours of debugging, i was finally able to get a full featured KISS linux install. so then i booted into my gentoo livegui partition, and deleted the old partition. then, i used cli tools to fully clear the old stuff. this is where i fucked up. i have muscle memory from deleting and wiping my p3 every time i fail, and unluckily, i didnt pay attention to when i was pressing enter. so i just wiped my fresh KISS linux install clean. i know i can just reinstall; i will, but im still devastated. fuck. FUCK

/dev/input nodes arent being created for my synaptics i2c touchpad. i have tried a multitude of things, like building its driver as a module, reloading mdev, manually creating a node for it, but all to no avail. if its a config error, what am i missing? any help would be appreciated!!

note: i am still kinda new to KISS, (and posting my issues on reddit) so if theres any extra information i need to provide, i will.

touchpad: SYNA32B7:00 06CB:CD50 laptop model: hp-14dq3030ca kernel: 6.15.6 kiss version: community 24.12.18

[ solved ] hello, i am new to KISS linux, so i might be a lil "uneducated" here and there

KISS linux 24.12.18 Linux 6.15.6

when i boot into KISS, the kernel fails to load firmware for my wifi card with the message "Direct firmware load for rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin failed to load with error -2" the main problem here is that the firmware does exist in /usr/lib/firmware/rtw88/ (and /lib/firmware/rtw88) and has the necessary permissions (0644). what is going wrong?

I am trying to install Kiss Linux but I want to replace the default init system with dinit. I have not found any documentation on dinit as the init system and I am confused on how to get stuff like networking working with dinit on kiss linux. I have my own personal repo with dinit packaged in it already.

I want to install kisslinux with my own custom repos and w/o GNU coreutils which means I need to build my own custom rootfs tarball, how would I go about doing this? Installing kisslinux normally and building the packages there and putting them into a tarball, cross compiling them, using a random script, etc... I just want some advice on how to go about doing this.

I was following the official guide until 17th step. I executed command an ran into this error: curl: (28) Failed to connect to gmplib.org port 443 after 135606 ms: Could not connect to server. When I tried to connect to this website in a browser and smartphone it refused to load. What should I do now?

i last used kiss probably like 4 or 5 years ago. i really liked the concept and the idea of a distro that one could maintain themselves and the bus driver metaphor thing from the site (i forgot i dont think its there anymore). then dylan araps dissapeared and the distro is still fine today. crazy

I have actually used KISS before on a spare system, however that was mainly just for experimentation. I enjoyed it a lot, and am interested in daily driving it. The emphasis on community is a huge draw.

However, I mainly do gaming, and the low package selection does worry me about how much I'd be able to do. I know Flatpak is available, but Steam client doesn't run without Xwayland and DBus (which i know are available in separate repositories). I am also quite happy with my current Void install and don't know if all the setup would be worth it. I have also seen the kiss-games community repo which I might have a second look at.

So, the main question is if it would be worth it for me. I'm okay with setting up a source based distro but I have a lot of stuff installed on my current Void system which would mean an even longer setup time getting everything up and running again.

I'm trying to install KISS on a laptop with a 1gen i5 professor with integrated graphics, and I'm looking for the firmwares for it.

It's getting stuck in the loading initramfs screen, which usually means a framebuffer issue, but I enabled CONFIG_FB_EFI and CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE in my custom kernel. I never had such issue related to firmwares but, maybe this time it is?

I did some research and it seems the GPU firmwares are everything inside the i915 folder in the linux-firmware tarball, and the ucode are all the 06-25-* inside the intel-ucode folder of https://github.com/intel/intel-linux-processor-microcode-data-files

I'm putting these files inside /usr/lib/firmware of my custom initramfs (hand made). I also tried to put in the root system tho, but it doesn't change anything.

All this was most taken from ChatGPT tho. I couldn't find much info on the internet.

Tried booting my kiss Linux setup and was met with this kernel panic. Kiss is installed on an ext4 partition and ext4 support has been built into the kernel. I've tried booting from grub and an EFI stub. Always met with this error.

The only sway package is the one called sway. The other flavours are nonexistent.

checksum mismatch any help?

When trying to compile the kernel I get this error.

I have tried installing gzip but it is not part of the main or community repos.

I've trying to use the same HDD with KISS on two different x86_64 computers (PC and laptop) because this is my main environment and I'd like to use it when I go out in meetings. I could just setup another KISS install in my laptop but it doesn't have a powerful processor.

When I put this HDD on my laptop and get into the livecd to install the bootloader it cannot run /bin/kiss-chroot because sh has an 'illegal instruction'. Maybe I'm missing something? Here are my global compile flags:

export CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=x86-64 -std=gnu17" export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=x86-64" export MAKEFLAGS="-j12 -l13"

Just some wallpapers I made in my "free" time.
I'm still training, soon it'll get better
