| 23:40:19 |  poetgrant | Also, is there documentation somewhere that explains exactly how to package software for Slackware? |

| 05:34:12 |  mdrights | man pakepkg? |
| 07:19:42 |  zork | poetgrant: you've installed rust from extra yeah? |

Have your guys seen Fractal? The GTK app? It is written in Rust so I'm having a really hard time getting it running on my Slackware machine. Anyone have experience with any of that? I heard Rust in official repos now |
| 10:55:02 | poetgrant | Oh I didn't even try to install rust that way.... I just automatically assumed it wouldn't be in the repos. |
| 13:06:10 | eviljuche | Pat added it not a long time ago |
| 18:41:17 | zork | poetgrant: sure thing, -> https://packages.slackware.com/ and search out rust :) |
| 18:41:38 | poetgrant | In reply to @zork:matrix.org
poetgrant: you've installed rust from extra yeah? I actually installed rust via their website... and can't figure out how to get it to stay permanently in my PATH |
| 18:41:52 | zork | only needed for compiling, but it's there if necessary |
| 18:42:40 | zork | what shell do you run? |
| 18:42:54 | poetgrant | I will use that package instead. I am just using Bash. |
| 18:44:04 | zork | I think ~/.bash_profile is the proper place to update $PATH |
| 18:44:05 | poetgrant | People keep recommending ZSH, but I don't know if it's worth it. I am used to bash |
| 18:44:16 | zork | I like zsh myself, but depends what you want |
| 18:44:26 | poetgrant | What makes it better for you? |
| 18:44:37 | zork | here's my setup -> https://gitlab.com/oshd/zsh-easy |
| 18:45:09 | zork | my reasons are listed there on the page |
| 18:45:30 | zork | but you can also get some nice customizations with bash-it |
| 18:45:41 | zork | https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it |
| 18:46:50 | zork | fish is also apparently quite nice for interactive use, but I couldn't fully get into it |
| 18:48:05 | zork | I'm used to certain things now, like alt-q to temporarily suspend current command and write a new one (suspended command line then comes back after), or edit long lines with alt-e |
| 18:48:50 | zork | bash, fish, zsh, all pretty good, probably just a matter of getting used to it. But I think some of the autocomplete/history search functions can't be fully available in bash |
| 18:52:29 | zork | anyway, all my scripts start with
#!/usr/bin/env bash
so I only use zsh for interactive use |
| 18:53:37 | zork | but yeah, either ~/.bash_profile or possibly ~/.profile are the places to set the PATH |
| 18:57:50 | poetgrant | Oh dang, that is really neat! Okay. I think I will be trying some of this out. Thank you! No one has ever actually explained it to me. |
| 19:26:23 | zork | np 🙂 |
| 22:39:06 | zork | Deny Dias: any tips for KDE4 on HiDPI screen? |
| 18 Feb 2019 |
| 00:53:19 |  Deny Dias | @zork:matrix.org: unfortunately not, sorry. The last i've been to kde4 was in my retired notebook, which didn't have hidpi screen. Where are you in this quest now? |
| 03:04:54 | zork | just got a new computer with HiDPI, very annoying since my AwesomeWM setup is not working well at all |
| 03:05:01 | zork | tried KDE4 but kind of sketchy |
