Creating a bootable USB with kindd. [more]

Purposes

2. Create bootable USB withouth worrying!

Installation

Void

sudo xbps-install -S kindd

Arch

Release version:

• kindd

Git version:

• kindd-git

Build From Source

First Install these dependencies first:

Dependencies

build dependencies:

• git
• cmake
• pkg-config
• qt5-devel
• qt5-svg-devel
• qt5-declarative-devel
• qt5-quickcontrols2-devel

runtime dependencies:

• qt5-svg
• qt5-quickcontrols
• qt5-quickcontrols2
• qt5-graphicaleffects

Then clone and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/LinArcX/kindd/
chmod +x ./build/tools/linux/sh/build.sh
./build/tools/linux/sh/build.sh build_release

And finally, run it:

./build/tools/linux/sh/build.sh run_release

Polkit

kindd uses pkexec internally. For most Desktop environments, there is a pkexec agent already installed. Like these:

• xfce-polkit
• polkit-gnome
• pantheon-agent-polki
• mate-polkit
• polkit-kde-agent

But users of windows managers(like i3, dwm, awesome, ...) should install an agent. After installing a polkit-agent, paste these lines into your wm's config file.(For instance i3 keeps it's configs here: i3/config):

Arch users

exec /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &

Void users

exec --no-startup-id /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &

Hint: I don't have awesome or other windows managers. So you should change above lines according to your agent and your wm.
