Alacritty in case Konsole breaks

ObsidianZed, (edited ) in Which terminal emulator do you use?

I primarily just use whatever the distro has(gnome terminal most often), though I use iTerm2 with omz on my work MacBook and really enjoy the customizability with tabs, panes, hotkeys, and especially triggers.

Can anyone recommend a good equivalent on Linux?

I see a lot of others listed here with many features. I’m open to trying a few to find a good alternative, though I don’t want to move all my eggs to a basket only to find out it doesn’t support some feature.

toastal, in Which terminal emulator do you use?

Kitty as I need X11 support & I use the kittens it comes with too. Kinda which more applications used their drawing API to get images on the screen.

pcloud

Species8472,

Yep. Using pcloud on Fedora, works fine.

mozz, in Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

Is gcs-fuse not suitable? I haven't used this but I would guess that it works fairly well.

Cwilliams,

It appears that this only supports Google Cloud storage buckets, not Google Drive

@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

My bad, you are correct. For some reason I misread.

There is google-drive-ocamlfuse. Personally, even though the article recommends rclone, I would have started with ocamlfuse; something about the whole interaction with rclone seems flaky-sounding to me (the fact that it's not just fuse commands, but this whole other tool you have to interact with for doing stuff like 'ls' just seems weird). But like I say I have no real experience to be sharing; this is just me searching + sending to you.

kittenzrulz123, in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

If you want to use the device for school and work I highly recommend a stable distro over rolling release. When it comes to stability nothing beats Debian and Debian 12 recently released so now is a good time to install it.

debian is stable as in “nothing changes”, not “nothing breaks” (but tbf it’s a consequence of that)

kittenzrulz123,

Who cares, when you need a device for school and work having the most up to date packages isn’t the biggest priority.

flathead, in Remmina not working with Windows 10 RDP anymore

had issues with Remmima and Win 10 last week - worked around it by using xfreerdp directly at the command line. this is what I use from a linux command line to set the resolution and sound (audio-mode:1 is same as Remmima local sound, or supposed to be)

xfreerdp /w:1680 /h:1050 /u:<username> /audio-mode:1 /v:<ip address> /sound /microphone

this keeps all audio local on the system, which is what I need.

Remmima was working fine until I messed with the settings to see if I could have both local and remote audio with RDP (you can’t) and then I could not get the local audio back no matter what I did - tried deleting profile, reinstalling, etc. Nothing worked until invoking xfreerdp directly. Been flawless since then.

I'll try that later today

flathead,

great - I’d be interested to hear if this works for you.

@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

using xfreerdp directly did work. Now I just have to find out how to get this working with remmina again, so the UX is not that bad...

db2, in Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1

Check which version of ffmpeg it’s using and whether it has hardware acceleration for that codec.

Also bear in mind that you can’t hardware decode and hardware encode at the same time on the same device. If that’s what you’re trying to do it’s probably falling back on software silently in Windows instead of telling you.

ryannathans,

Why can’t you decode and encode on the same device at the same time? I thought you could do a couple in parallel (but haven’t done so in a while)

db2,

Because one process will be running on the hardware, because of the way it works it can’t really share that hardware between processes. I’m not sure if that’s entirely a hardware limitation, but it seems to be enough of one that software hasn’t overcome it.

ryannathans,

What if that process had multiple streams to decode/encode?

xyguy,

I saw that in the docs. I am only interested in encoding in AV1. My CPU is a 5900x so it’s decent enough at decoding. I’ll check ffmpeg settings.

    Idk, in my experience apt is also quite good at removing 90% of my system… apt-autoremove anyways

    Smorty,

    I don’t have any sources files in my /etc directory. My Debian install in general is really weird, since the default apt sources came only with some CD ROM source, which did not work with the Internet. So I had to manually add all sources myself (probably caused some of my troubles…) These are my sources right now

    deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

    I’m assuming these are correct, as they all got that bookworm in them.

    I will try the other options though, thanks!

    Smorty,

    I’m back from trying that reinstall with aptitude, and it keeps getting file sizes wrong. It says, that reinstalling all software will take 0 Bytes. After not finding some sources, it tells me that the unpacked packages will combine to 0 Bytes again:

    “Es konnten keine Quellen gefunden werden” meaning, that it couldn’t find the sources for a specific program. I already ran sudo aptitude update so that is not the issue. Soo maybe I really do need to reinstall the entire system?

    We have 4 raspberry pis at our office, does that count?

    slembcke, in GNOME and AppIndicator/system tray

    Well… they don’t like the design of a “system tray”. To be fair, it’s a very Windows centric idea, and the notion that they must provide one because Windows has one seems… similarly questionable to me too. Speaking personally I hate the idea, and always have. It’s a real dumpster fire because:

    • Lots of drivers (on Windows) assume you don’t know how to launch programs, and force a permanent launch shortcut on you.
    • Programs assume you don’t understand how to minimize or hide a window, and put themselves in the tray instead. (launchers, chat programs, etc)
    • Some programs seem to use them just to put their logo on the screen. You can’t really do anything with the tray icon.
    • Few icons match stylistically, and even on Windows, they don’t match the system style. (White icons on a white taskbar? FFS)
    • Programs often don’t provide an option to disable their tray icons, and it’s rare that I want them.

    I guess I found the lack of them to be a breath of fresh air when I first tried Gnome 3 a few years ago. The current iteration doesn’t quite work though… 99% of the time I just want an option to kill the damn things, but I’ve have had some programs that only provide functions through the system tray. It’s dumb, and I hate it, but it is what it is.

    d3Xt3r, in Is there any hyprland fedora silverblue images?

    however when I rebase to that image it drops me into rescue mode after reboot. :(

    Did you rebase to the unsigned uBlue image first?

    rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/startingpoint:latest

    This will install the proper signing keys and policies and prepare you to rebase to a different signed image. After you run the above command reboot, and then rebase to the actual image you want to rebase to.

    Also, here’s another alternative to Hyprgreen: github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue/
