feannag, (edited ) in Wifi stopped showing in linux mint

I’m not sure if this is exactly the same issue I had, but mine ended up being resolved by disabling fastboot on the Windows side. Near as I can figure when I “shutdown” from windows, fastboot prevented releasing control of the network adapter to Linux. Wifi would only work if I restarted from windows, or when fastboot got disabled.

Son of a bitch. Instead of “turning shit the fuck off”, is windows putting the wifi card into some sort of eternal WoL mode when it shuts down? And the wifi card isn’t resetting at boot time (or honoring a reset command) to give the linux drivers a known starting state?

feannag,

I think that’s the gist. But don’t worry - windows will boot .5 seconds faster…

tanakian, in Is anyone using awk?

awk often can be found in my scripts.

gnuhaut, in Wifi stopped showing in linux mint

Device-2: Intel Wireless-AC 9260 driver: iwlwifi v: kernel pcie: > speed: 5 GT/s lanes: 1 bus-ID: 3e:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:2526

So I assume this is not old info and the thing shows up in lspci?

wifi seems to be a shell script coming from tlp, maybe you can do:

sh -x /usr/bin/wifi

to figure out why it thinks you have no wifi. This gives you a trace of the commands that wifi actually runs.

Also, wifi should be managed by NetworkManager so you could look into that documentation and log files for that. Also look at kernel logs like dmesg maybe.

Also also, this could be hardware problem of course. Maybe it just needs to be fully powered off to reset. Have you tried removing the battery? If you cannot do that, there might be little hole at the bottom of the laptop, to stick a paper clip into, to completely power cycle the machine. Maybe that’ll reset it.

yeah it showed on lspci but not on rfkill. It reset by itself at a certain point, dunno how or why.

I would add:

https://github.com/cheat/cheat - a tool that lets you make and use your own cheatsheets

https://github.com/babarot/gomi - replacement for the rm command that has a trashcan, so if you accidentally delete something important you can just restore it

https://github.com/sharkdp/bat - modern cat, with features like syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc

https://github.com/eza-community/eza - modern ls, with cool features like file icons

https://github.com/Canop/broot - a different than ranger/lf approach to navigating folders

https://github.com/michaelmure/mdr - a markdown viewer

Also, I think you should add a note that ranger should be installed from git because most distros package version 1.9.3 and that is 4 year out of date and has lots of bugs that have been fixed in the git master branch

Steamymoomilk,

Added to the list As well as the note for ranger thanks for your contribution to the list!

Jack, (edited ) in [Solved] Font not available in Firefox or (Epiphany GNOME) Web browser.

Thanks for the comments. Based on them I found github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/21 which suggested copying the font to ~/.fonts/ (which didn’t work) and to /usr/local/share/fonts/ which fixed it - Epiphany can now see the font, and I can now set it as default in Firefox (tho Firefox is ignoring it in a page’s CSS).

Galli, in Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

alias?

hinterlufer, in how do i efficiently attach audio to an image

In kdenlive, the following settings work well for me (you can transfer the options to ffmpeg cli as well if you prefer that):

f=matroska movflags=+faststart vcodec=libx264 tune=stillimage progressive=1 g=1000 bf=2 crf=%quality acodec=flac ar=48000

For reference, I get a 3.7 GB video with a duration of over 5 h @4k resolution. The audio itself is already 3.7 GB and it’s just a still image. For CRF, set something around 23, that should do.

willybe, in Is anyone using awk?

I used awk to migrate users from one system to another. I created template scripts for setting up the user in the new system, I dumped the data from the old system, then used awk to process the dump and create scripts for each user in the new system. That was a fun project.

Everyday. I’ve got a lot of stuff that uses it. Granted most of it was mostly created a decade ago but with minimal maintenance it works great. The most helpful script is parsing megacli outputs so I can get a heads up on drive failures and rebuilds among other things.

I’d suggest autojump

A good argument against containerization of programs tbh.

A good argument against DOS 2.0 adding directories

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Yup, pack it up folks. We spent years working to solve containerized applications with a granular permission system, but we can’t figure out how to make an executable run a command. It was a good run, but it’s over now.

db2,

Finally someone got the point instead of just downvoting. 🤣

I’ve been searching for a browser based terminal gateway that I can use for sysadmin. I’d like to just have all my ssh connections in one spot and accessible as a web terminal in a network, like a bastion host. Anyone have any recommendations?

@ace@lemmy.ananace.dev avatar

Flatpak already creates executable wrappers for all applications as part of regular installs, though they’re by default named as the full package name.

For when inkscape has been installed into the system-wide Flatpak installation, you could simply symlink it like; ln -s /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.inkscape.Inkscape /usr/local/bin/inkscape

For the user-local installation, the exported runnable is in ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin instead.

rotopenguin,
@rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

I handle it more like ln -s /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.inkscape.Inkscape ~/.local/bin/inkscape

.local/bin is a directory that you may have to make, but your shell’s startup scripts should automatically add it to the PATH after that.

ace,
@ace@lemmy.ananace.dev avatar

I personally use ~/.bin for my own symlinks, though I also use the user-specific installation instead of the system-wide one.
I wouldn’t guarantee that any automation handles ~/.local/bin or ~/.bin either, that would depend entirely on the distribution. In my case I’ve added both to PATH manually.

genie, in Writing program

Others are recommending Obsidian (which I have no experience with, it may be the right way to go).

Myself, I chose Logseq on a whim a year or two ago and haven’t looked back. In the backend you get a nicely composed set of plain-ol’ markdown files that you can cp/edit/merge as needed.
