What is skim?

Basically I press ctrl + r to show bash history in skim. Tho when I select an option the new line that gets printed with the completed sentence is weirdly printed.

Normally one defines all normal, bold, italic, bold italic font in alacritty. But since fira mono does not have italic font, how should the config structure look like?

"font": {
"normal": {"family": "FiraMono Nerd Font", "style": "Regular"},
"bold": {"family": "FiraMono Nerd Font", "style": "Bold"},
"size": 10
}

Should I define the fonts which are available like normal, bold and leave italic and bold italic. Or should I just define normal font?

 Fedora 39

This allows me to connect to the share; however, it is "empty" on both the local and the remote machines.

I've followed at least 5-6 guides all w/ completely different instructions and would love somebody w/ experience on this to point to my fuck up and what I'm very clearly missing.

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]

[share]

   path = /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/
   writeable = yes
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   create mask = 0777
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes

sudo nano /etc/fstab

/dev/disk/by-uuid/D02A6F152A6EF7BC /mnt/D02A6F152A6EF7BC auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

Dolphin also has this tab below (local machine w/ the mounted drive), but any password input doesn't do anything (the explorer flashes w/ no info about what the "Set Password" button did)

Basically I am using this gtk.css file in ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css but it's weird that the sidebar is not themed correctly. If anyone knows about this, please do tell. My only lead at this moment is to find the class and add it in gtk.css file. For some reason I can't install the gtk inspector app, So if anyone has it already or knows the classname, please help.

gtk.css file ->

Sidebar ->

# sudo btrfs fi df /mnt/disk3
Data, single: total=12.70TiB, used=12.27TiB
System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=1.34MiB
Metadata, DUP: total=15.00GiB, used=14.50GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=608.00KiB

# mkdir /mnt/disk3/tst
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘tst’: No space left on device

I suspect this is BTRFS balancing issue, but even BTRFS's own utility is indicating there's still SOME space left. Certainly should be enough to create a directory.

Any ideas?

Just in general BTRFS default options for creating new volumes seem to not work well for disks that I intend to fill completely immediately after formatting. Are there better options for this use case? I just use

# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdd1

A great deep dive on the recent post about the financial situation of the GNOME Foundation by Niccolo Vé, a KDE developer, and an ever better debunk of a particular Linux "Journalist" and their misinformation campaign against the project.

I'm thinking about building a desktop with one of my kids and I would really prefer to put Linux on it. My wife is not a fan of the idea, however.

I'm wondering are there any good Linux distros/utilities for children that include parental control features and things like that? And that are easy to use for a child who has only used basic Chromebooks in the past?

For reference the child is under 12.

I set antimicrox and qbittorrent to autostart and they have start in tray on but on login they start in windows and quit on close not close to tray

Hey friends,

I tried Kakoune for the first time recently—I definitely feel like it gets keybindings right. So I just wrapped up configuring Helix to (as far as I can tell) use those bindings (basically, it totally cuts out select mode and makes things much faster). Thought I'd share for anyone else interested.

[keys.normal]
H = "extend_char_left"
J = "extend_line_down"
K = "extend_line_up"
L = "extend_char_right"

W = "extend_next_word_start"
E = "extend_next_word_end"
B = "extend_prev_word_start"

A-j = "join_selections"

A-n = "search_prev"
N = "extend_search_next"
A-N = "extend_search_prev"

[keys.normal.g]
e = ["goto_last_line", "goto_line_end"]
G = ["select_mode", "goto_file_start", "normal_mode"]
[keys.normal.G]
H = "extend_to_line_start"
L = "extend_to_line_end"
E = ["select_mode", "goto_last_line", "goto_line_end", "normal_mode"]
[keys.normal.v]
t = "align_view_top"
b = "align_view_bottom"
v = "align_view_center"

Happy editing!

Is there any possible way to run DTS sound effect for headphones in linux?

This is the keynote reported on a while ago in a ZDNet article and discussed here on Lemmy.

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.0 "Castaway"! The new 3.0 is the first stable Qt5/KDE Frameworks 5 based version of Amarok, and first stable release since 2018, when the final Qt4 based version 2.

I upgraded to Fedora 40 workstation a couple of days ago. I never turn off or suspend my laptop (a Thinkbook 14s Yoga) and it was guranteed to be dead if i left it unplugged for a couple of hours before the update.

With Fedora 40 it's been unplugged for almost 5 hours and still has 52% battey left (down from 59% when i unplugged the charger).

I noticed both TLP and auto-cpufreq have been disabled after the update so this looks like default power settings are being used.

I'm not sure if it means I'll be getting consistently better battery life but i thought maybe it's a good idea to share this first impression anyway.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Finally got my wife away from Windows and on Fedora 40 (Gnome 46).

Now, when her PC goes to suspend and when she wakes it up, one of her 2 monitors doesn't wake up.

Both are connected to HDMI ports (no dedicated video card, just the integrated card in her Ryzen 9).

Any ideas on what could be happening? I wouldn't want her to go back to Winblows over something so insignificant, but she would.

Muscle memory is causing all kinds of problems.

A couple of months ago, I wiped Windows off my old laptop and installed Kubuntu instead. Now, I was thinking of dual booting Windows additionally for a certain game (definitely not League of Legends, for sure not) and will need to buy a new key. Am I fine getting a copy of Windows 10 despite Microsoft's discontinuation, or should I get a Windows 11 key? I have a different laptop I use as a daily driver (11, Surface Go 3), so this would exclusively be for the game that shan't be named.

Sorry if this post isn't fit for this community - I'll delete it if it isn't.
