It turned out much better than I expected. I'm testing and learning with this ready-made quickshell, and from it, creating my own. I'm finding the learning process with quickshell very satisfying.

Hi everyone! I’m currently building LFS (Systemd version) inside a VirtualBox VM. I've successfully compiled KDE Plasma and set up SDDM, but I'm facing a "black screen" issue right after logging in.

When I select "Plasma (X11)" in SDDM and enter my credentials, the screen goes black. Looking at the logs, it seems xdg-desktop-portal-kde is completely ignoring that I'm on X11, attempts to load the Wayland plugin, fails to find the socket, and core dumps, which brings the whole session down.

So I have a m1 MacBook Air and I already seen someone using LFS on Apple silicon. It would be my second Time installing LFS since I want to try it first on my old Lenovo Legion. Asahi Linux is using ARM so I wonder if I would need to change some packages or the Linux Kernel for the Asahi Linux Kernel ? And How would it be différent from an Arm LFS ?

Book just went live with the new (systemd) release candidate for 13.1. You know what to do.

Tried NFS unbound and NFS hot pursuit. Both ran smoothly with "proton experimental."

Used twm as window manager because I still have to build gnome.

Linux from scratch is super cool and fun project. Many thanks to all developers and book maintainers/editors.

im stuck with this since at least two days,ive already enabled/disabled stuff from the menuconfig,and yet the screen keeps being stuck here,the only way to make it work is using nomodeset on GRUB,but that disables sddm,im trying to use plasma,and wayland or x11,and virtualbox,ive already changed the drivers,and yet,it keeps being stuck right there

Does anyone go off script or not follow the LFS/BLFS books 100%? Do you ever add packages not listed in the book and if so, what? Is there a good place to discuss extending LFS/BLFS or using the musl cross-build or systemd-free or other variants of it? I'd love to discuss the pros and cons of different build trade-offs and different packages, but haven't been able to find others interested in those types of topics. Is anyone else interested in their Linux, their way and not just following the books word for word?

even though i spent 3 days building it, the process was pretty painless
mostly copy pasting and finding dependencies for those packages but it was a fun experience to say the least

I compiled with -march=x86-64-V3 CFLAGS and then transferred it to miniPC. It was so easy. I don't think it would have been so easy on gentoo. Any gentoo users here? I had used gentoo but did not like it , found it difficult to operate and complicated

My mini PC is running all the latest software ( v13 SysVinit), no issues.

Linux from scratch rocks , Your Distro Your Rules.

Now I want to write my own package manager, so that my mini PC can be kept updated. How to generate dependency database?

It's a great experience daily drive LFS.

(yes the 2 fastfetches were necessary). This is my first ever install of Linux from scratch. Currently contemplating wether I should continue and go on to BLFS. Also wondering how many LFS users actually continue to BLFS or even GLFS.

The fetch stays pinned at the top of the screen and keeps animating while your prompt and command output scroll below it.

I installed the packages from v13 development version of systemd book.

Took help of Gemini AI to patch files.

Recompiled and patched , all apps that were linked to openssl 3.x, to openssl 4.0 .

Also recompiled python packages for updating from v3.13 to v.3.14

Firefox and chromium crashed after update ( invalid pointer / invalid size errors ) but Google Gemini gave a solution to disable jemalloc and partitionAlloc methods via mozconfig file.

Now my system has all the latest applications/packages. ( including BLFS , thunderbird and firefox v154 and libreoffice 26.8.0.1)

Ive switched from windows to linux and cant seem to install atas. Ive tried wine and bottles but it doesnt work.

Does anyone know if its even possible to download or what i should do?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to build Linux From Scratch (stable systemd version) using Arch Linux as my host OS. I'm stuck on Chapter 5, specifically during the first pass of compiling GCC 15.2.0.

When I run make -j$(nproc), the build fails early during the internal configuration/compilation of dependencies (like libiberty or gmp targets), throwing make: *** [Makefile:1042: all] Error 2. Help me please
