Where to find package?

[lomszz]

Hello, wondering does someone know where to get killall package?

Trying use conky manager 2, already compiled it but missing package which wasn't on list and can't find it..

 

[captain-sensible]

no such package to my knowledge but there is a built in shell command called "kill" which you can use the -a (--all) flag

 

[lomszz]

That is weird, i can't launch this without that one

 

[craigevil]

apt-file search kill
should point you in the right direction

 

[lomszz]

No such command found, sudo and non sudo

edit: I have vanilla debian, i don't have even killall command while on arch i had

 

[captain-sensible]

bit of a going off at a tangent , but i thought normal evolution was Debian -> Arch.
What made you switch ?

 

[lomszz]

Nothing really, just so bored switching back probably, too much missing + outdated packages.

edit: yep i'm gonna switch back oh well record i used base debian 12h

The tedious thing about Arch is updating and if you don't you could run out of room if HD tight or other glitch; apart from that and recent grub issue (reporting of grub breaking OS) ,its been fine.

yeah it's been fine, no problems there, i just got so bored this morning so decided give debian spin, maybe i should enable virtualization to use vm

Well It's kinda late now :/, but yeah there wasn't command found. Still reading debian docs if I'll find solution and fire up VM tomorrow

 

[lomszz]

Looks like killall command belongs to debian testing packages

psmisc

Yeh, was a little late to the show and maybe a little snarky, too.

When I was using nothing but true Debian-based distros going back to aptosid, I used Stable repos once and never again. Stable is a stick-in-the-mud control package set at the end of the testing cycle and it does not have what I want in software choices. Sid had what I wanted, even more than what the Testing repos held.

 

[lomszz]

Yeah i'm gonna stick with fedora & arch, atleast on these i find everything

 

[treeshateorcs]

arch is the best distro imo. the sanest packaging policy

pacman is a dream i don't remember any quotes including the text " --fix-missing" so far ; i do however see "checking for incompatibilities" when pacman runs.

Slackware is also sane , never had one instance of dependency hell , but thats because it was mostly down to me , to make sure dependencies were met and installed in right order i'm referencing slackbuilds here. BUT it was ever so a little tedious to be honest .
