Write the diary of an Arch user

install gentoo

pacman fucked up my xorg.conf again

The end.

I went on four chan and made fun of myself

One of my friends switched to Noobuntu, I can't even look at him anymore

couldn't get thinkpad's scroll button to work, bought a mouse instead

then I told mommy that I wanted hot pockets and cheetos immediately

I went to IRC to brag about my monumental achievement of installing Arch by copying commands from wiki

I drank the salty tears of yet another, uppity, Debian fag today.

then mom brought me some tendies while I was waiting for pacman -Syu to end

>>56080906
No shit, there's even a packaged cups driver for my random brother printer.

I compiled hello world from source that I copy/pasted off the internet, then bragged about being a programmer.

I did an full system update after few days, and the result is:
1. spaceFM will no longer automount removable devices, like SD cards

udisks functions are not authorized through policykit,
so devmon cannot automount drives.

2. My reboot/shutdown/hibernate/suspend scripts don't work either:

$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized

And I've done that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PolicyKit
but it changed nothing.
I am using Slim.

Dear diary, I'm smart enough to have whatever income through whatever means I want but am far too self-important and traded all that away for pretending to be some anti-intelligent psuedo linux internet warrior to people online who don't give a fuck and spend most of my time trying to prevent new people from joining linux as I think it's my secret club. I'll be having my head up my ass for the next 20-30 years while my colleagues who didn't drop out will become "plebs" and have some sort of job, start a business, etc. This will be my last entry, for I am better than you, diary. Fuck you.

Dear diary, sorry about that, I came back because you're the only one who will listen to me. I'm still better than you though. Would you like to join my obscure IRC circlejerk? it's invite only and full of arch pros like myself. Well, actually, you probably wouldn't fit in, fuck you.

Dear diary, fuck you.

You seem to be trying to use ConsoleKit which has long been deprecated and completely fucking broken after being replaced by systemd's logind.

>>56081229
1. SLiM is deprecated and not recommended.
2. Your scripts need root privilege
3. Console kit is deprecated, most distors and people use systemd instead

Bottomline: Nice pasta but too old

Do you know how to tell when someone uses Arch Linux? Just wait and they'll tell you.

Dear Diary,
I was too incompetent to install Gentoo so I installed Arch Linux. It comes with Systemd cancer, AUR software anarchy and artificial self esteem so I can act 1337 while still being a completely incompetent GUI ricer.
