Konsole has been kinda poo poo since about kde 4. The font rendering can get weird at times, as does scrollback, there's apparently now the problem Vostok just described... Terminology uses EFL and is therefore bad. Even if it does work correctly by some insane twist of fate, there's probably a RCE somewhere in it. I dunno, I just use gnome-terminal or terminator (tiling wrapper around the basic gnome terminal) and that works great and has for over 10 years now e: to be fair last time I tried to use konsole was almost 2 years ago now so maybe they've fixed their poo poo.

gnome-terminal also runs all terminals under one server process (gnome-terminal-server), so!

"The problem Vostok described" is a configuration option that is easy to turn off. I pointed this out last page. Personally I quite like Konsole and have had way fewer issues with wacky unicode/colour/control sequence experimentation with it than with gnome-terminal.

If you use MS office you have a legit reason to dislike Macs, office for OSX is incompatible with office for windows in weird and surprising ways. On the topic of desktop gripes, is there a way to make gnome 3 virtual terminals accessible in the old grid format instead of the ribbon? If I can’t get that is there at least a way to reorder the virtual desktops within the ribbon? These are my biggest gnome 3 usability issues. edit: Apparently you can install 'gnome-tweak-tool' now and set a # of static desktops which you can switch to and start the apps you want instead of having the list grow dynamically. I guess it's close enough. Dren fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Jun 10, 2018 |

I recently distro hopped from Arch Linux to Ubuntu 18.04. Everything is great, except I'm noticing that the color calibration on my laptops built in screen as well as my second monitor is way off. The hue seems off (reds look purpleish), and the color intensity is pretty high too. I can mess with the color intensity on my monitor's settings, but not the hue as far as I know. Even then it's affecting both screens. Out of all the issues I had with Arch, color calibration was never one of them. I don't own one of those fancy monitor calibrators either. Everything I search seems to point towards needing to get one. On my desktop with an nVidia card, I can mess with all those settings. Is there anything like that for Linux/Ubuntu? I don't do graphics or anything for work, so it doesn't need to be perfect. It's just really annoying. This is my laptop in case it matters: https://www.asus.com/Laptops/X750JA/specifications/

I'm trying to pass on an initialisation argument to mosh: The Mobile Shell. I'm able to 'mosh' in using my mobile phone via SSH auth and I want to restrict the ports mosh is using. I've looked for a systemd unit file and can't work out how mosh server is started. I just did 'apt-get install mosh' and it automatically starts working alongside SSH. I see the binaries in /usr/bin/mosh and /usr/bin/mosh-server but I don't want to run two instances of mosh-server. There's no obvious conf file on my system. How's it starting itself? Is sshd configured to initialise it when it realises that the client wants a mosh session instead of SSH? I've tried searching for "how is mosh started" but the internet seems to want me to start listening to metal?

The mosh client itself launches the server with the shell it gets from SSH.

apropos man posted:So if I want the mosh server to accept a different port range or configure other launch options do I have to specify those in SSH somewhere? AFAIK there's no config file support in mosh yet. If you want mosh to use a different UDP port range on the server there's the --port parameter which can take a range like port1:port2. The port used for login is defined by sshd_config. Not sure what you mean by launch options but I'd say it depends.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Weird, I just checked and I have the same as ToxicFrog describes. Maybe it didn't exist in whatever old rear end version Ubuntu 16.04 has? Or maybe the maintainers of ubuntu's kde packages decided that feature should be on by default with no option? Who knows If it were me managing my own machine I'd just use Fedora but our IT department uses Ubuntu for everything and I didn't feel like making life hard for them when I got my workstation replaced. Oh well

In normal use cases I don't think you need to call mosh-server directly, you'd just run "mosh --port=$LOWER:$UPPER yourserver" client side. Since there's no config file I guess you'd need to set this as a bash alias or something to make it stick.

So I just need to figure out how SSH initiates mosh and add the parameters in there somewhere. I don't think I quite got how the process was working before. Cheers!

OK. I've got it. The long way to launch a mosh session is like this, and accounts for your ssh port (in case you need/want to change it):code:If you're doing the initial SSH handshake on 22 you can leave that part out entirely: code:The reason that I got confused was that I was using JuiceSSH on my phone to mosh in and hadn't noticed the custom command option in JuiceSSH to specify UDP port(s).

mystes posted:Right For some reason I had been confused before and thought it just kept the ssh connection open and did some sort of special buffering over it. Oh for sure. I didn't understand how it worked until I read one of the academic papers by the authors. I checked their website and they don't really have anything that spells that out besides the PDF of the paper.

Mogomra posted:color calibration issues in Ubuntu It turns out that the default color profiles assigned to my laptop screen and extra monitor were complete garbage. I had tried other built in profiles, but they were all varying levels of messed up too. It occurred to me that I never tried using no color profile at all. Like, remove even the default profiles from the list of active ones. It seems to have completely fixed my problem. Nice.

How do I tell how big the hard drive is in Linux? I'm running Mint and the disks utility says that I've got a 128 GB Disk that's a Samsung and also a 123 GB "Block Device" mounted at /dev/mint-vg/root (plus two small swap drives). Are the first two actually the same drive?

Ok, another couple of related questions (since my wife's trying to get her HDD usage down to fit on my laptop): 1) I have to swipe a lot on the touchpad to move across the screen, even with the sensitivity and acceleration all the way up. What else can I do? 2) I cannot get two-finger scrolling to work, even though I've selected it in the touchpad settings. What other avenues can I explore to get that working?

I don't know the answers to your touchpad questions, but as far as "trying to get HDD usage down" goes, I highly recommend using something like ncdu (terminal), baobab/kdirstat (graphical), or windirstat (graphical, windows) to figure out what's using the most space and what you can most usefully remove.

A reboot made the touchpad behave. The space concern is on her laptop, since its hard drive is about three times bigger than mine. She's been working on moving all her pictures and whatnot off.
