I use my Yubikeys all the time in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Linux Mint - a Yubikey 5 NFC and a Yubikey 5C NFC (mostly with Firefox). I have never had any problems with them. Mint is Ubuntu-based so they ought to work in Ubuntu. Sorry I can’t advise you on why yours isn’t working, but it should definitely be possible to get it working.
Tumbleweed user here. Thinking of buying a yubikey; is it easy to setup for logins etc or does it involve terminal commands etc. I mean is there a repository app?
There’s an appimage for their manager app there. You might also try using Distrobox to give yourself access to a distro that uses apt, and then add Yubico’s PPA and install the software from there. I don’t know whether it would work but in principle it should.
As a last resort you could install docker from apt, build an image from a distro has rar in its arm repos, then run containers ephemerallly, mounting your work dir into the container where rar runs. Try the suggested methods of getting a binary first. 😅
<span style="color:#323232;">docker run --rm -v /your/work/dir:/destination/in/container your_image rar ...
</span>
Haha. Definitely last resort. Having learned what a pain rar is due to its propriety nature, I’m going to see if they care if I convert them to tar or zip first.
I find it pretty easy to use when building my 3d print adapters, brackets, containers and very simple objects. But if, like me, spaghetti code is your natural language… OpenSCAD does you no favors.
AFAIK openSCAD is a code driven mesh format. So if you want to import openSCAD models into any other CAD software you have to convert the mesh to STEP or some other actual 3d object format during which there can be lots of error if the model is complex. I don’t have a lot of experience doing this but I just tried a model I had lying around from the dactyl keyboard project and converting it resulted in a lot of really broken surfaces.
This is a cool alternative that makes 3d objects instead of meshes (at least it says it does). zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/ . Also open source but web based.
EDIT: I should mention that CascadeStudio seems to be abandoned, just a cool concept of a different way of doing code driven CAD.
My situation is remarkably similar to yours down to the language, and I happen to have been considering a US keyboard as well so that’s disheartening to hear. I have nothing to add right now but will let you know if I come across anything helpful!
I love US keyboards for coding, it really improves the experience. Typing in portuguese, however, is not a good experience. The default american layout has the ~ key in a really bad spot. Typing à or ã is REALLY uncomfortable/weird. Fortunately, my keyboard has that key on the right side of the keyboard instead of the left, which greatly improves the experience.
The .XCompose file I linked in the main post is perfect and works great on X11. If you’re not yet on Wayland you can use it and have a great experience.
Right, that all makes sense. I’ll definitely keep that .XCompose file in mind, wasn’t aware it even was a thing before your post. Also, do you mind sharing the specific keyboard you’re using for reference?
Side note, I’ve started using vim/helix a few months ago and the pt layout makes things a lot more awkward than I expected, that’s half the reason I’m considering a US keyboard lol
I’m using an Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2. Not most people’s cup of tea but I’ve grown used to it and it’s hard for me to swap to anything else now :P
I can see why it’d be divisive with topre keys, no key markings and a pretty non standard layout but man does it look nice. Really appreciate what they’re going for there.
Anyway, thanks and hope you find a solution, I’ll drop by if I come across anything useful!
I’m using GNOME Wayland on Fedora 39 and I don’t have the problem you describe. I just go to settings and select my keyboard layouts:
English (US, intl., with dead keys)
English (intl., with AltGr dead keys)
And everything just works. I specially like the second one because it doesn’t interfere with keybindings in games, which can be a problem in GNOME Wayland.
Oh, I think I get the issue you’re having, you can’t find the Çç character on the Linux layout 😅 I always have to explain this to people migrating from Windows, it’s AltGr+, (right Alt key plus Comma). I like this shortcut better than the Windows layout, but I understand some people might not like it. Unfortunately, I can’t answer your question, as I too don’t know how to customize the keyboard layout. I just got used to the Linux layout.
You should be able to type ç the way I described for all apps, so you could just remove your custom layout. I highly recommend the English (intl., with AltGr dead keys) layout, it’s perfect for coding and writing in English. It’s a bit more work to write in Portuguese, though, so it took me a while to get used to it, but it’s worth it if coding is what you’re doing most of the time. In this layout, you must hold AltGr to get the dead keys, otherwise it’s a normal English layout.
You can also use two layouts — one for English/coding, one for Portuguese — and the keyboard shortcut Super+Space to switch between them. I always have two layouts setup like this, but I never switch anymore because I just learned to love the English (intl., with AltGr dead keys) layout — and I don’t write much Portuguese nowadays.
I have tried openSCAD and FreeCAD, they are both good in their own right, but utimatly they also both have very steep learning curves. I suppose Blender can also be used for CAD but I have no experience with it. I just want to quickly design some parts for 3D printing as a hobby and don’t feel like spending hundreds of hours learning those tools. I am current using Onshape.com, it works well on Linux/Firefox, suits my needs and free to use with some limitations. But it is proprietary :(
step 4 didn’t happen. AKA it works now. I have a guess as of why a random app wouldn’t be running. And it makes sense that closing would clear it, as screenshotting opens a fullscreen app. But I don’t get it, how can closing an application delete my clipboard?
