I already have a file named grass, why would I create another one??
Cool! :) feel free to share an update whenever you want!
Is it possible to have auto tiling in Hyperland like in i3?
This is absolutely preference based, but I think I would add a bit of blue for the wallpaper, maybe something like this
One of the reasons why I use i3 is because I can dedicate a workspace for specific programs and a specific layout. What other wm allow this kind of configuration?
Oh, so you know OP's thesis name too!
You have convinced me to move to Wayland
I am vegan. This is what makes me sad.
Manjaro is usable, but you might want to use something else. I use Arch, BTW.
Quoting the great Michael Scott: That's what she said.
I might be wrong, but after thinking about this for a while I came to the conclusion that probably most of their packages come from AUR in God knows what conditions. Also, has a funny alias for pacman that breaks everything.
I don't think this person was sharing this meme looking for honest answers, but since you did, I think this is the correct answer.
You say it like ^X was somehow intuitive
Shutting down my computer with the button, restarting, Hahaha exactly what I was going to say and installing Emacs. Wait
What kind of plot was used for "setosa length vs width"?
Do you use or know of any cool module for polybar that allows to manage notifications, especially if they include a no-disturb mode or even let us see previous notifications too like some kind of rofi menu?
Context: I need to have installed a a program called Smowl, which is a closed-source app that records EVERYTHING to make sure you don't do weird stuff while doing an online exam. To avoid installing such monstrosity on my laptop, and since virtualbox is probably banned, I wanted to use a persistent bootable device to have the program installed and know that everything works well in a few days.
Tails and booting software: I tried with Tails, but the software doesn't work there because it's too private. I also tried using other tools other than ImageWriter or dd to make other distros persistent, but if I use Unetbootin the distro doesn't get recognized when booting the laptop, and I the other tool that I found to have similar powers is mkusb, but it's no longer maintained and it cannot be installed on Arch (there's a compiling issue).
MX Linux: I also tried MX Linux, but I don't know how to make it persistent in the first place because I followed all the steps but I don't get it to show me the last session to boot to or the "text menu" option of this guide. I tried this several times, with two pen drives (8GiB both), but I got no luck, even when using MX Linux live USB tool to make the other pen drive bootable. What am I missing?
I created this script at ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh
to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
depending on whether I'm using Plasma or I3wm:
``` bash #!/bin/bash CURRENT_DESKTOP=$(echo "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP")
if [ "$CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "i3" ]; then export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
elif [ "$CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]; then # Si estás usando Plasma (KDE), comentar la línea que exporta la variable unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME else echo "Gestor de ventanas no es i3 ni kwin: $CURRENT_DESKTOP" fi
echo $CURRENT_DESKTOP echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME ``` I created an autostart program and added this to my i3 config file
exec ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh exec source ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh
I don't know what's wrong with it, but if I run it on a terminal, I get this (screenshot):
``` ➤ ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh i3 qt5ct ➤ echo "$QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME"
➤ ```
So this script doesn't really export anything at all.
I have searched on every file that I thought could be exporting it as a null value (~/.bashrc
, ~/.profile
, ~/.bash_profile
, ~/.xinitrc
, ~/.Xresources
, /etc/environment
, /root/.profile
, /root/.bashrc
), but everything looks fine (no QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
anywhere, or is commented).
---------
Solution
The only thing we'll need in.xprofile is sourcing the script:
``` #!/bin/bash CURRENT_DESKTOP=$(echo "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP")
if [[ "$CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "i3" ]]; then export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1.5 # 1.5 export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 elif [[ "$CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]]; then unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
else echo "Gestor de ventanas no es i3 ni kwin: $CURRENT_DESKTOP" fi
echo $CURRENT_DESKTOP echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME echo $QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS echo $QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR ```
I saw some screenshots from people using ROFI with something like tabs to change from the apps selector to the power menu, to the clipboard, to you name it menu. Here is an example. Would you share some more configurations like this one? I really like the idea of having all the menus at the same place with just one key binding. Also, I'd like to know how to configure ROFI better, and I think I can learn a lot from these kinds of configurations.
I am running in the same Linux distro two environments: Plasma (former KDE) and i3wm.
I use the same command on both environments: sudo systemctl start mysql.service && sudo mysql -u root -p -h localhost -P 3306
, but while on KDE/Plasma I get no error, on i3wm I get a "the name is not activatable" error, and I don't know how to fix it (here's a screenshot).
Here's an extract from MySQL Workbench:
04:32:53 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SQL editor could not be connected: The name is not activatable 04:32:53 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' to the MySQL server at 127.0.0.1:3306: The name is not activatable
Also, I found out firefox doesn't connect to 127.0.0.1:3306
either on i3; on Plasma I get something like ("The connection has been restarted. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.").
I find is interesting too, because syncthing can connects through the localhost on i3wm, but mariadbd can't for some reason:
sudo lsof -n | grep TCP | grep LISTEN […] syncthing 841 31843 syncthing alberto 14u IPv4 11863 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:8384 (LISTEN) mariadbd 2537 mysql 32u IPv4 16382 0t0 TCP *:mysql (LISTEN)
I'm interested in hosting something like this, and I'd like to know experiences regarding this topic.
The main reason to host this for privacy reasons and also to integrate my own PKM data (markdown files, mainly).
Feel free to recommend me videos, articles, other Lemmy communities, etc.
I'd like to sync my markdown notes between devices (laptop and phone), which service is better: Nextcloud or Syncthing? Any other important idea I should know?, like latency times, or maximum number of synced devices, what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network... For example, I know Nextcloud let me have a history of the notes.
I have a Raspi 3b+ to play with, and thought about using it as a Google Drive alternative for collaborative docs since there are some cool stuff Google Docs can't do, but LibreOffice do. Any similar experience?
I use arch, with keyboard layout "es", because I'm Spanish. My keyboard doesn't recognize the key "Insert", unless Fn is enabled, and I don't know why. I found its keycode in xmodmap -kpe
: keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert
.
Since Fn takes the 7th place, I thought about changing it to keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert
, but nothing changed.
It is strange since changing it to keycode 118 = slash NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert
, will only work when Fn is enabled as well, meaning that Fn
+Insert
= /
.
Probably unimportant: There's also a keycode 90 = KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0
, but I don't know what key is. Using xev
and pressing Insert
with Fn enabled says it's key 118, so it shouldn't be an issue.
What if I want to combine Ctrl+Shift+1+0
to obtain "≠", for example? I'm saying this combination, like I could say any other (like a+b
), it's just one example.
