Gingernate, in Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

Ok you switched back to fedora, were you able to downgrade bluez? Also, is this a new popos install? Have you updated your system using “sudo apt update” and “sudo apt upgrade”? If the bluez fixed the issue on fedora I bet it will fix it on popos

bizdelnick, (edited ) in Use YAD/Zenity dialogues to populated variables in a bash script?

Try something like IFS=‘|’ read f1 f2 < <(zenity <…>) where f1, f2 etc. are variable names.

linuxPIPEpower,

If you leave some of the field blank will it be able to skip assigning the respective variable? That’s one problem with the positional values.

I have an array based solution but it doesn’t solve the cases of changing the order or empty fields.

flubba86, in is there a foss project to automatically sort files

Every single file on my computer is saved under ~/Downloads why would I want to sort it somewhere else when I already know exactly where it is?

Flyswat, in Use YAD/Zenity dialogues to populated variables in a bash script?

If you fill both fields the output in the terminal is file|this is some text|

Wouldn’t it be easy to get them using awk by defining | as a field separator?

linuxPIPEpower,

It is the only solution I found. I described it in the post but put it behind a “spoiler” “What doesn’t work” to make the post shorter.

This seems unmanageable because adding a new field or failing to provide input for a field will both change the output order of every subsequent value. It’s way too fragile.

I do not understand the mystique of applications that don’t come with a reasonable working config. I don’t want to invest hours just to try something and see if it is vaguely suitable. Anyone who wants to delete the default config can easily do so.

I guess people get pulled with sunk costs because by the time you get it working you’ve spent so much time on it.

BlanK0,

Could be the case 🤔, I think if there was a more accessible WM with no tinkering in config files needed we might see a bigger adoption to the WM workflow (cause it really is more productive)

Scipitie,

When “reasonable” deviates on every major setting then it’s not possible to provide a sane default. Both i3 and hyprland have example configurations - I have yet to see two identical configs in the wild.

You have it the other way around: it is aimed at people for whom there can’t be a sane default because of the highly individual wants.

If you don’t intend to adjust your environment to your workflow that’s fine - there’s KDE and gnome for a reason.

halm, (edited ) in is there a foss project to automatically sort files
@halm@leminal.space avatar

This requires no “AI”, just some simple rule-based automation, at most some algorithmic sorting.

  • Android (or some custom branded Android versions?) automatically save downloaded files in folders by Pictures, Documents, etc unless you tell them.not to.
  • Office365 offers the PowerAutomate function, but knowing Microsoft they probably overcomplicated things a bunch. [Edit: obviously this isn’t FLOSS, just a hint at what to look for alternatives to…]

This approach never appealed to me as I want to know where things are rather than where some subroutine thinks it belongs, but I’m certain you will find plenty of software that offers an auto sorting feature.

bizdelnick, (edited ) in is there a foss project to automatically sort files

Such AI can be coded in <100 lines shell script. One of simplest implementations:


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">find . -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -d $'
haui_lemmy,

Thats pretty much how I‘d do it. Now I need to sort through a decade of old backups and deduplicate them. Also need to distinguish between „loose“ files and program/website structures which usually have different file types inside. Probably need to auto archive them into tar.gz or something.

You’re using refind, you need to specify the quiet splash parameters in refind config. You can do this every time you boot by manually editing the entry, for example if you want to test that editing this would work, or you can edit the config file with the boot parameters.

I don’t know how you have your refind configured, mine has a /boot/refind_linux.conf file where I can put the boot parameters, e.g. mine looks like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">"Boot with standard options"  "rw root=/dev/nvme1n1p2"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">"Boot to single-user mode"    "rw root=/dev/nvme1n1p2 single"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">"Boot with minimal options"   "ro root=/dev/nvme1n1p2"
</span>

Here is my /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf file. I’ve only ever added the theme line at the very end. As a new linux user editing this scares me so any help from anyone editing this so that plymouth will work would be appreciated.

Nibodhika,

Read my answer again, that’s the wrong file.

Also use Pastebin or something similar, people are not going to add random stuff to their google account just to help a stranger on the internet.

alliswell33, (edited )

Sorry about that, I edited the comment to a pastebin link. Okay here is my /boot/refind_linux.conf file:

“Boot with standard options” “ro root=UUID=96e2ea68-742d-4309-ae9f-4d12ba668b21” “Boot to single-user mode” “ro root=UUID=96e2ea68-742d-4309-ae9f-4d12ba668b21 single” “Boot with minimal options” “ro root=/dev/nvme0n1p4”

Should I just edit the boot standard to “rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p4”

edit: tried that change and it did nothing

Nibodhika,

No, you should edit it to be something like “Boot with standard options” “ro root=UUID=96e2ea68-742d-4309-ae9f-4d12ba668b21 quiet splash” mine says /dev/nvme0n1p4 because that means device (/dev/) first nvme SSD controller (nvme0) disk number 1 (n1) partition 4 (p4). If yours worked with that line you copied from mine it’s only because coincidentally your / partition is the fourth partition on the first nvme SSD on your computer. (Or maybe because that config is not being used).

A question though, why do you want to use refind if you don’t know the basic about partitions and boot drives? I think you’d had a better experience using the default one which is GRUB.

alliswell33, (edited )

Thank you! Changing the line to “rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p4 quiet splash” did the trick. Your actually said /dev/nvme1n1p2 so I know enough about partitions that I changed mine to dev/nvme0n1p4 to fit my case. I only know that much about it because I’m running a duel booted system and had to deal with partitioning when I set it up. Your right to point out that I’m a bit over my head when using refind, but I changed it instead of using grub because I like the customization with themes and I read somewhere that it could help with windows updates messing up duel booted systems.

edit: I’m now having a new problem where it’s not using the boot splash screen that I specified in the settings. It just the oem logo with a kubuntu logo under it. At least I’ve made some progress 😂

Nibodhika,

Cool, didn’t noticed you changed it to your actual partition, although I should have because there’s no reason for me to have 4 partitions on my disk. That being said using UUIDs for booting is better than device names, if you add or remove a drive the device name can change. In my case it’s a laptop and only has one name slot so I’m fairly sure it won’t change, plus I had to write that file manually when I first installed my system so I was lazy and used the device name, but you already seemed to have the proper UUID there, so changing it to the device seems a bit backwards.

GRUB is also customisable, although I agree that refind looks a lot nicer. I don’t think refind is any better than GRUB in dealing with Windows updates, the problem is that Windows has this annoying habit of formatting the MBR so it essentially wipes all other boot managers from the drive, which is why people recommend having windows in a different drive so it can’t fuck up your boot manager, but I know that’s not always a possibility.

As for the splash screen being wrong I can’t help you there, I actually like the checks scroll that’s the default without a splash screen so I’ve been using that for a while now.

may_nya, in Arch efi partition error

idk mybe your drive is fucked up so you should try a new one. also did you use fdisk or the graphical one ? and did you generate a new gpt/mbr tab ?

Hiro8811,

I solved it somewhat. There’s only two entries in fstab now but for some reason the efi partition still gets automatically mounted and the grub theme dosen’t work

WereCat, (edited ) in Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

I’ve tried connecting 3 different BT headphones and no luck either.

I just popped in a live USB of Fedora and was able to instantly pair the devices and they work so I guess I’m gonna distro hop

EDIT:

and after I installed and updated Fedora the same issue now… :/

Gingernate,

But it worked before the fedora update… This is strange.

Have you gone through the system 76 Bluetooth t/s? Here’s a link

support.system76.com/articles/bluetooth/

WereCat,

figured it out, solution in one of the comments I replied to… basically my laptop was non-discoverable by default and there is no setting in the system to make it discoverable

Gingernate,

Oh sweet! That’s pretty stupid to be non-discoverable by default! Glad you got it figured out

geophysicist, in Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

Where are all the people who claim to never ever have had an issue with audio or Bluetooth on Linux and how it’s worse on windows?

wingsfortheirsmiles,

I personally haven’t but just from reading the Pop OS help page on BT I expect issues at some point

papabobolious,

Right here, how’s that going to help someone who is having issues? Or am I just meant to gloat a bit?

mateomaui,

I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.
