If network manager, you could cat the files stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/? Phone posting, so that last directory may be named differently than I am recalling. You'll need root access.

Nostalgia4Ass posted:I have a new XPS 13 with 4k screen running Fedora 29 with KDE. I love the laptop to death but I have to force a higher DPI to make things readable on the laptop screen since it's only 13 inches. However, I also bought a 32 inch monitor and a fancy Dell dock so I can look at the bigger screen when I am working from home. The scaling makes everything look blurry when the laptop is docked. I am wondering if there is a way to enable scaling when the display is output via the laptop screen BUT disable scaling when the display is over the 4k monitor? So far, all I've been able to do is adjust the DPI manually (which requires me to log out and back in again to take effect). Horse Clocks posted:Which version of which desktop environment, backed by which display protocol? Could you not use xrandr to scale the lower DPI monitor after setting dpi to the 4k monitor? Man xrandr and look at --dpi, --mode and --scale. I can't test this so I'm not 100% sure this will work. Edit: If you are using X. If Wayland, please ignore.

I like the new KDE a lot and have kept neon as a backup distro for over a year now. I normally don't prefer GUIs and daily drive a tiling window manager. It isn't without its problems. Dolphin had a file move bug that is now reported as fixed. I've never trusted it and used the command line instead. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162211 Edit: Actually, looks like the silent fail may still be there.

If I remember correctly, Termux offers the option of Vim or Emacs (and nano if you want to notepad it). It's also bundled with bash or zsh, ssh, and even rsync. I'd imagine a ton of other things but it's been a while since I've used it. If you're rooted you can su to gain root and do whatever you want. LineageOS comes with it's own terminal built into the developer's options that you can enable with vim offered out of the gate.

The telegram thing is due to running neon. Neon only cares about the KDE chain and can break on other Qt configurations. See this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400004 I'd suggest using Ubuntu if you don't want to go the snap/pak route.

Used corporate thinkpads are perfect for project systems and you can pick up the older generations stupid cheap. They're really well built and last forever. You then can spend ~100 on a new bezel, keyboard, and touchpad for it, and it will look and feel almost brand new.

LODGE NORTH posted:So, getting two Pis for two different projects and successfully messing with both of them has made me want to learn Linux. I always recommend starting with a VM to slowly tackle projects/problems on it so that if anything goes south all you need to do is revert to a prior save state. You can figure out which distro you like, what types of packages you'll want and need, and the general howto of moving around and configuring it all. If you decide its not for you or you lose interest you're no worse for wear and can easily delete the VM. After some time doing this, you'll have a good idea of what you want and whether you should setup a dual boot or separate machine proper. However if you're actively working with Pi's for your job or projects, then I don't see the reason why another personal setup would be a bad idea.

EC posted:With the help of a friend, I came up with a solution, which I believe is what VictualSquid was telling me to do: create a flv file instead of a mp4 file, and then stream that directly. The pi managed to stream the whole thing without a hiccup. Try this if you haven't already figured something out: https://pastebin.com/kjwfEDNH Everything's fairly self explanatory. Check the top of the script for global vars you can modify to alter the script parameters. The script's currently set to dry run every 5 seconds. You'll want to comment out line 65 and uncomment line 67 to actually run it proper. It picks a random file from the specified working dir and mask by using ls and piping to shuf. It logs each entry it makes and checks each new selection against the log in an attempt to find a unique candidate. It will keep trying for as many log lines as you have before it gives up and picks the oldest log entry. It will also try to find repeating duplicates and invalid files and scrub them from the log as it goes. This works well for my uses (mainly random mp3s with mpv). I'd suggest running this on a backed up directory just to make sure it doesn't do anything crazy first if you do end up using it. I also wanted to add: I'm not entirely sure how twitch handles key usage, but if you're dumping it through the command line to ffmpeg, I'd take into considerations the permissions files had that might contain the key as well ensure its not readible through ps or similiar.

Ignore this, sorry. Too early in the morning without coffee and I completely ignored where you said you could do this with ffmpeg. Edit: I think it would probably still be easier to load the video in mplayer/mpv/vlc to find your timeframes and then you can cut with ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i (input file) -ss (start time) -t (end time) -c copy (output file) ex: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ss 00:01:15 -t 00:06:05 -c copy newvideo.mp4 As long as you don't apply filters with ffmpeg, it should demux the video instead of re-encoding it. If all you want to do is cut the video then this is by far the most simple and straight forward option. tjones fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Dec 23, 2020 |

Not Wolverine posted:I have VLC on my systems already, and I might just try to use it for trimming if it's possible. The only issue I have with doing so is that I think VLC's interface is a bit difficult and easy to forget at times, I might have to look it up again next month or the next time I trim a capture. It's great it has so much power, but I'm afraid I could accidentally start streaming or doing a full re-encode on a video by clicking the wrong menu in VLC. I think I like the idea of using ffmpeg and time stamps the best, is there a way to tell ffmpeg to trim at a key frame from the command line? if I have to specify the points by time, don't I also need to enter very precisely like 00:13:42.06969 ? Or could I specify by frame number instead, if I can somehow find the frame number in VLC? For VLC, use the shortcuts for next frame. Get in the ballpark and then set a bookmark, scroll through the video second by second, and then frame by frame. If you screw up or go past where you wanted, use the bookmarks to jump back. https://wiki.videolan.org/QtHotkeys/ As for ffmpeg, with the copy codec option (-c copy), ffmpeg will force the video split at a keyframe. You can give it hyper precise timestamps or a round about second and it will start at the next keyframe, but include audio prior. See below for more information. The following link should answer your questions more concisely than I could. It has other good information about seeking in general. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking posted:Time unit syntax Good luck. It may be easier to use a frontend if you're not comfortable with the command line. They'll drive ffmpeg, so you would most likely get the same results. I've not used any of the GUI frontends, so I can't recommend one over another. Flatpaks/snaps are all-in-one application packages that include everything you need to run the executable in the package and run in a sandbox. Snaps are Canonical's (read: Ubuntu) verison of a flatpak and require systemd.

Spending a few hours each month because it breaks is hyperbole. Arch has been my most used daily driver for years and I've maybe had to fix two things that I can remember in the past two years. What does break is almost immediately posted to their forum with the fix listed if it's not in the frontpage blog already. I run a minimal, fairly stock setup, FWIW. It's bleeding edge, but unless you are running some wild configuration it's solid as can be expected. You still should develop a good habit of checking the homepage before you blindly Syu.

The appeal of Arch is being able to cherry pick what packages you want. The installer gives you everything needed to accomplish this. The reason I use Arch is because I'm able to quickly install only what I need and no more. Complaining that the base package doesn't come with your favorite wifi networking client, or any other package, is kinda missing the point. I think new linux users end up with Arch and these issues with installation because of the memes or taking bad advice from people who know better than to recommend it to new users. Anyone reading the installation guide and paying attention will be fine.

Anyone looking to learn linux? Possibly, if I thought they were serious about it and already had some technical know-how. Someone closely following the guide and taking the time to read, research, and understand each step before progressing to the next is different than someone looking for a one click installation solution, which is where I believe all the complaints of "I installed it now but how do I wifi!?!" come from. Truga posted:i mean, minimal debian install is like 400 megs unpacked, but it ships with working networking and isn't arch so yeah, i'm definitely missing its point My arch install script includes all the packages I need, including my preferred networking clients. I've built my install by hand over the years the way I like it. Installing a prebuilt and then having to modify by adding or removing packages is actually more work. You prefer debian. Thats cool.

The Gadfly posted:Maybe arch could include a script in the installation image to pacstrap stuff like the networking package as a cli prompt to make the installation process more automated. But then again maybe it's better to not make the arch install newb friendly as manjaro and other distros already have this covered. I agree on all points. I also think Manjaro is a bit of a mistake as a lot of times it is passed off as "arch but for new guys" and you get people who end up in the same boat when something goes wrong. You can easily write a script file yourself to install all your packages you want after you've installed base. Theres no need for the arch boot system to include it as it would just complicate things. If you already have an Arch system setup, the following commands are helpful: 'pacman -Q' will show all installed packages 'pacman -Qe' will show all explicitly installed packages Read the man page for pacman for more query options as you can get fairly granular results for what you want to return. Then you can use that to generate a list of everything on your current system for whatever purpose you need and add that to your backup scripts. For instance, I use this to dump all of my explicit packages and redirect it to a file. My backup script runs this command and includes the file in my archive so I can easily see what was installed when and I can pull that package list to then build a new install from if needed. code:EDIT: Since I'm offering advice in regards to pacman, if you were to do something like what I do above, I would suggest also checking for orphans anytime you reinstall from a static package list. Orphans occur from time to time in Arch and its worthwhile to check for and remove any packages if they are no longer needed: quote:pacman -Qdt tjones fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Jan 25, 2021 |

I have a stack of old drives that are wiped clean and waiting that can be swapped into an enclosure in a few seconds if I need to throw something on one and treat it like a temporary thumbdrive.

Does changing the value of EnableHiDPI in the 00-general.conf have any impact? I was mainly wanting to confirm that overall configuration changes were working correctly as /etc/sddm.conf should overwrite prior settings. I'm assuming since you mentioned prior that everything was working except for SDDM that you've already solved other potential X/Wayland scaling issues. You could try to manually set the dpi of the display in the SDDM config if you haven't tried already: quote:/etc/sddm.conf.d/dpi.conf From here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM#DPI_settings Maybe try to double your DPI to force a lower resolution? There's also this blurb in the Arch WIKI troubleshooting section for SDDM that might be worthwhile: quote:Screen resolution is too low Scaling issues on Linux have historically been a pain in the rear end. I've heard it said in a jokingly manner more than once that the best solution to issues with a 4K monitor in Linux is to go buy a 1440p monitor instead. Best of luck.

YMMV, but I find having a tiling window manager helps with tiny screen space. I can set each window to stack ontop of each other or launch in their specific screen and I can instantly flip through maximized windows with a simple key combination. Or I can set two windows side-by-side with no screen real estate ever lost. There is a floating option for any window you wish to have float, though I realize now after years of use that I've not used it in a very long time except for very specific edge cases. The biggest issue with running a tiling wm is always the initial setup and learning key combinations. But It is not unlike custom keybinds for your favorite game: it takes a few hours of tinkering to figure out what you want and then a week or so of constant use to learn them without having to think about it and after that it no longer is an issue. I use I3 and have a backup system with dwm. I recommend both but personally gravitate towards I3.

You'll run into issues with the software lagging behind from time to time. It's the nature of the distro. Have you tried updating to a newer kernel through backports? See here: https://backports.debian.org/ You could also try one of the debian based distro boot environments to see if they perform better. Mint, MX, Deepin, Ubuntu, etc. That might give you an idea of what packages you need to look for in order for your hardware to work.

Ubuntu based distros still originate from debian unstable branch? I included those in the list as a hail mary at trying to get something to work right out of the box. If you can get something to work you can then work backwards to figure out what needs to change on debian. Personally I consider all the Ubuntu and Ubuntu-like distros debian adjacent and related. Maybe it would have been more helpful to exclude those distros. I suspect MX Linux would result in the same issue since it's based on the stable branch. It would be worth a quick test with a boot iso to see, IMO. My wild guess is a kernel issue with the intel integrated gpu. If I were wanting to stay on debian, I would start with backporting the kernel to a newer version and if that doesn't fix it updating packages from Sid to see if anything works.

* Slack and Debian in the late 90s early 2000s. Things broke easily and the desktop was frusterating. Lost interest quickly, multiple times. * SuSE early to mid 2000s while porting UNIX curses software to GTK. Compiled a custom kernel during this time. Also tried LFS soon after. Fell off hard. Dipped my toes into BSD but I never stuck with it due to my employer's decision to migrate to Linux. Lost interest quickly in all things *NIX after changing careers. * Began keeping a backup Debian install sometime during the end of Vista. Eventually moved from Debian to Ubuntu. Linux was much much more accessible now, and I remember being impressed with the overall state of things and the desktop compared to before. * Stopped using Windows entirely on my personal machines during the beginning of Windows 8 except for a backup boot I used for occasional gaming and Adobe products. * Moved to Arch around 2016-2017. I keep a minimum Debian install as a maintenance backup and a KDE/Ubuntu system image that mirrors what I now preload onto my family's PCs. I'll sometimes dable with FreeBSD but it's always fleeting and never replaced my daily driver.

If you are wanting a tiling WM and prefer a certain DE, look into using both. I know in the past people have successfully integrated i3 and AwesomeWM into both XFCE and KDE. If you like and are already familiar with i3 and want to keep things minimal, you can get a pretty nice looking setup going with a highly tuned rofi and polybar configuration.

CRF is the constant rate factor for libx264. See here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264 The -vf scale filter with one negative value will scale the image resolution to the measure of the positive value given and use a relative value for the negative value measure to keep the same aspect ratio as the original source. For instance, if your images are 16:9 resolution then the resolution filter scaling applied to the ffmpeg output will be 1920x1080. See here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Scaling For all your questions, refer to the manpages or the ffmpeg.org documents: 'man ffmpeg' or http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html is your friend. tjones fucked around with this message at 06:54 on May 22, 2021 |
