ninekeysdown, in Is anyone using awk?
@ninekeysdown@lemmy.world avatar

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.

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.

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.

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

alias?

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).

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add a note that ranger should be installed from git because most distros package version 1.9.3 and that is 4 year out of date and has lots of bugs that have been fixed in the git master branch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

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.

tanakian, in Is anyone using awk?

awk often can be found in my scripts.

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…

iopq, in What are your opinions of Guix?

Everyone thinks it’s great, but they actually run NixOS in the meanwhile

Ashiette, in Wifi stopped showing in linux mint

I had the same problem with a MSI GF65.

I had an Intel AX201, which is basically the same device as the intel killer wifi card on the GS65.

I battled with the issue for a very long time. It came from Windows and only from Windows. You have to disable fastboot and there is a way to shut it down “fully” which you have to do.

If that does not solve it your only way out of it is to reinstall Windows.

RossoErcole,
@RossoErcole@kbin.social avatar

I too have the Intel card because the killer one had shitty software, how do I shut down fastboot fully???

stepanzak, in Terminal Utility Mega list!

atuin is similar to mcfly but IMO better.

Steamymoomilk,

added to the list! thanks!

rfkill?

RossoErcole,
@RossoErcole@kbin.social avatar

didn't register the wifi, after a few attempts with a live usb stick (where the same thing happened, so no fix there), I got back into the mint installation and it worked

BCsven, in Terminal Utility Mega list!

Htop is highly customizable, most people don’t realize you can alter the setup completely

Steamymoomilk,

I did not know that! That’s pretty cool!

terminhell, in Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

General rule of dual booting from the same drive: install windows first, then Linux.
