lots of people make the mistake of installing stuff without their package manager (possibly due to all the bad guides online that are lazily made and teach you to just do things the easy and terrible way)

true, sadly, there's plenty of make install guides

git clone && cd dir && setup.sh

And afterwards package manager would not found packages to update/purge them if needed, I guess

yep, of course

some install scripts also don't provide list of changed/added files at all

but if they don't provide you .deb/.rpm what should you do then?

Rare case. Certainly not with nvidia.

There might be a third party repo still

do you guys have a create install package (.deb/.rpm) guide?

but if they don't provide you .deb/.rpm what should you do then?

afaik, the least bad option is checkinstall

SuSE Linux ?

I think even nvidia themselves recommend to use your distro's repackaged drivers

I don't think so. Where did you read that?

I said “I think”. I am not entirely sure.

Oh, okay. That's fine @LianTianRong

BTW, you changed your profile pic @Tobias4X What character is now? :)

I love astronomy. What would you like to read?

I was so happy that I could fall asleep that I did fall asleep! To answer your question, I'm often drawn to celestial mechanics.

Heck, the Avatar Picture is just safe because its cut too ?

alright thanks

I plain and simply refuse to use installers in any Linux distro.

thats the correct way to do things

afaik, the least bad option is checkinstall

checkinstall is great in theory, but ive never tried it. its probably really good. does fedora even have it?

I used it years ago, but I realized I only ever uninstall software if I am in desperate need of space

its not only for that purpose, but rather just for keeping your system well-organized and stable

The visibility of IRC has come up in conversations a lot recently and I was noticing the 666 members of the channel. I was wondering for how many this was their primary visibility for real-time conversations in the Fedora community. That is why I am not counting you @Kohane :)

we have the second largest fedora group on telegram at @fedorabr

I used to use checkinstall, right now I just use stow if I need to compile things manually

Of course.

I never trusted them.

LOL! Love Jared's sense of humour

I always say that the 5th and more important foundation of Fedora is Fun.

Completely agree @Neville_yn1v

Look up in Yumex if you have any missing packages.

install yumex-dnf on any recent Fedora over Yumex tough

install yumex-dnf on any recent Fedora over Yumex tough

Okay

install yumex-dnf on any recent Fedora over Yumex tough

Doesn't it comes by default?

Doesn't it comes by default?

In Fedo 25 its the only Version dnf knows of - but Fedo24 (me thinks) still offered yumex and -dnf

ERROR: S client not available

anyway, who command for access to yumex?

whats that

Doesn't it comes by default?

On Mate Desktop, yes.

anyway, who command for access to yumex?

Yumex is a graphical package management tool: su -c 'dnf search yumex' su -c 'dnf info yumex-dnf' su -c 'dnf install yumex-dnf'

Good evening, Fedorians! :)

Good evening!

Is there a way I can ask for a software to be packaged in the repositories

I've just reinstalled gnome :D

Is there a way I can ask for a software to be packaged in the repositories

There is a wiki page in which you can add the package info. It is a whish list. You can ask at #fedora-devel, though Or at this Fedora Packagers group: @fedorapackager

Which page?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist?rd=PackageMaintainers/WishList

alright thanks

"As a current contributor, if you know of projects that would be appropriate in Fedora package collection but are unable to maintain yourself just drop them with a line here."

Does this mean I'm meant to be an actual contributor to the project in order to add to the list?

Not really.

I do intend to become one to some extent (possibly even as a package maintainer if I have the skill)

But as I said before, you can ask on at #fedora-devel on Freenode, or at @fedorapackager on Telegram, there are plenty of Fedora packager in that group.

I'll see about that as well

Which Software are you missing from there that you'd take the Responsibility of compiling and maintaining it?

* some missing xfce utils - xfce4-indicator-plugin - xfce4-volumed-pulse * indicator-multiload * maybe hardinfo * maybe the anonymous-pro fonts * maaaybe a libre-fied faenza

why do you ask?

It means that OpenWhisperSystems are a bunch of sellouts IMHO

I wonder how many millions did WhatsApp give to them to have OWS at their mercy ?

What would they have to gain from wanting people to use a direct competitor
