If you haven’t heard of them it’s because they haven’t released and games ever

NateSwift ,

I’ve been happy with AirVPN for the last year or so

NateSwift ,

I installed Arch because I liked the idea of building everything from the ground up, choosing all of my utilities, and gentoo would take too long on my laptop. Still haven’t finished my DE 2 computers and 3 years later

NateSwift ,

It will lead to the torrent dying if everyone stops seeding

NateSwift ,

Why limit seeding unless you’re on a metered connection?

NateSwift ,

Seeding doesn’t take up space, as long as it’s on your disk you should seed it.

NateSwift ,

I haven’t seen anyone mention Mirror’s Edge yet! The free running (especially in the first game) is such a unique and rewarding experience. A little janky and frustrating sometimes but when it clicks it just feels so good

NateSwift ,

You’re right. The comments here have been really weird and kinda missed the whole point of OP’s post.

NateSwift ,

Docker is professional software and because of that isn’t always the most intuitive thing to use.

The first big thing to get your head around is that there is no GUI. Everything you do to manage docker is through the command line. If you really want to, there’s some third party GUI software for managing Docker, but I haven’t used it in the 2 years I’ve been using Docker.

Once you’ve installed docker, there’s a little bit of setup required to make it run smoothly. The Docker Docs page on Linux post-installation steps has detailed instructions on how to do that and how to run a test container

NateSwift ,

Going over your steps, it looks like you forgot to copy the contents of your old home directory (partition A) into the new partition on drive B before editing your fstab file. This would cause the system to boot and not find any home directory (because once you change the fstab file it only knows to look for it on drive B) and then fail to log you in.

You also shouldn’t have to remount your home directory (partition A) before copying files over because it’s already mounted when you boot your system.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!

NateSwift ,

I’m not sure what’s going on, I can think of a couple things worth checking.

First I would make sure that all the files are being copied over properly. In a terminal window, run ‘ls -la /home’ and ‘ls -la /new_home’ or ‘ls -la /old_home’ and compare the outputs. Both should be the same and have a folder with your username. Check inside the user folder as well by appending ‘/username’ to the command (ex: ‘ls -la /home/Doctor_Rex’ but use your linux username).

The letters on the left (rwxr-xr-x or something similar) are permissions and should be the same. Continuing across the line there’s another number that isn’t important and then it should say your username twice. If it says “root” you need to update the owner of the files. this can be done by running ‘sudo chown -r username:username /home/username’ where “username” is your linux username.

Lots of configuration settings are stored in files or directories that start with a ‘.’ and are hidden by most file managers and ‘ls’ by default. If these are missing it’d cause problems.

If everything looks the same, you could try logging in from a TTY. This won’t start a GUI, but it will allow us to see if you can log in at all. You can switch to another TTY by pressing ctrl+alt+any function key (f1/f2/f3/etc). Most distros use TTY1 or TTY7 for their GUI, so try ctrl+alt+f2. If it doesn’t change to a terminal screen, try another function key. From there it should prompt you to enter a username and password. Try and log in to your account. If you can, it’s probably an issue with KDE, if you can’t there’s still something wrong with how you have the drives mounted, missing files, or incorrect file permissions.

Sorry if the formatting is a little chaotic, I added the part about checking ownership in after writing the rest

NateSwift ,

+1 for kitty. Embedded images for Ranger is super cool. The only downside is i’ve been getting rendering issues for a couple seconds after waking up from suspend but that’s probably a configuration issue on my end

NateSwift ,

The fear for a lot of people is that if Xbox games aren’t exclusive people will buy a Playstation instead. Which makes sense, why by the console than can play most games when you could get the console that can play all games. This puts the Xbox hardware platform in a very difficult place. Especially because it’s already way behind in market share.

NateSwift ,

They’re different projects with different goals. Graphene is more private & secure if that’s the thing that matters to you. Lineage supports far more devices

NateSwift ,

As far as I’m aware the only real difference is what repositories are available and what the default settings/programs/etc are

NateSwift ,

You won’t be able to port forward without a vpn that supports it which will severely limit download speeds. Might be worth a shot if you have a vpn though

NateSwift ,

I ran into issues with availability on Lidarr. Maybe I just didn’t have the right trackers but it almost never pulled complete discography.

NateSwift ,

That would be why then! Any recommendations for music trackers to look at?

NateSwift ,

I’ll definitely give them a look once I’ve finished moving! I’d given Orpheus a look a couple months ago, but was hesitant to jump through all the hoops without knowing if there was actually any content on the other end.

linux mint became super slow

so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check ‘page faults’ and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it’s still running like a slug. once an application is open, it’s...

NateSwift ,

It might be worth checking a resource monitor such as top, htop, or bashtop to see if there’s a process using way more resources than it should

NateSwift ,

So many want “change” … Trump is “change”, right from his personal nature and demeanour.

Back in 2016 when Trump as sill “new” I fell very squarely into this. I was still too young to vote and had just started learning about politics. Looking at both major parties all I saw was people who didn’t care about normal people, politicians that seemed too involved in the political game to actually get anything done. I remember seeing Trump as a kinda of wild card that would hopefully stir things up enough to hopefully get something done. That someone removed from the traditional nepotism in politics could make real changes.

Unfortunately that’s not what happened, and not really how any of this works. It seems like his presidency just made new problems, and all the old ones still persist.

NateSwift ,

The Arch Wiki has a page for the tool :)

Edit: forgot the link wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fprint

NateSwift ,

He’s a sassy mother fucker ain’t he?

NateSwift ,

Article is about Undertale Yellow which is a fan game

NateSwift ,

I could see it being useful for restaurant reservations or similar for some people. But for normal phone calls i’d hate this so much

NateSwift ,

Kinda interesting, but I don’t think this is the right community for it

NateSwift ,

The catch is that it’s temporary storage for 30 days or less

NateSwift ,

HWID got fixed like yesterday, did it break again?

NateSwift ,

Where do you have that running? I set it in my i3 config and it never takes properly on my laptop. On my desktop I ended up just doing it in hardware because it was easier

NateSwift ,

—-I haven’t used windows in a while, but for curiosity’s sake what are the best ways for registering windows now?—-

edit: i’m bad at reading, muses the relevant line

NateSwift ,

I feel like this works. “I was the only one to escape the disaster that was remote learning”

NateSwift ,

Seeing the “natha” username is so vindicating. I thought I had typed my name wrong for so long

NateSwift ,

What are your issues with Firefox? Been great for me

NateSwift ,

You can think of yas-bdsm eject as your safeword.

He definitely knows

NateSwift ,

I’m not on Twitter, what’s happening?

NateSwift ,

I’ve heard arguments that back in ye old days each row only had 80 characters and variable names were shortened so you didn’t have to scroll the page back and forth

NateSwift ,

Private trackers often have rules requiring seeding that keeps all/most of the torrents with a healthier seeding pool.

So faster downloads and less dead torrents. Sometimes greater variety

NateSwift ,

That’s so funny. I feel like it’s rude to call without texting first

Met a nice lady at the grocery store

Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing...

NateSwift ,

Even then 99% of the time it’s just installing a single package to fix it. Just gotta check the lookup table on the wiki

NateSwift ,

I’ve had good luck with overtakefans in the past, both for live broadcasts and archives. It’s been a minute since I’ve watched F1 but I remember them being really solid

NateSwift ,

Disclaimer: I’m on mobile, please excuse and terrible formatting

The issue that you’re running into is that the Python module “libevdev” isn’t installed.

The traditional “best practice” for installing python modules is to create a python virtual environment (venv) for each project so they can have different versions of the same module. However, this will make running the script/program a little less convenient. I’ll include instructions for both, you only need to follow one.

With a Virtual EnvironmentThe first thing we’ll want to do is create a virtual environment. This will let us install modules that don’t mess with the rest of the system. All of these commands should be run in the root folder of the application (the folder that src is inside of). Run the following command to create a folder (.venv) the virtual environment will be stored in. python -m venv .venvNext, we’ll want to activate the virtual environment. This needs to be done every time you run the application. If you’re using the bash shell the following command will active the virtual environment. (The bash shell is the default in Ubuntu. If you haven’t changed it this what you want) source .venv/bin/activateNow that we’ve created and activated a virtual environment, we can install the missing package. The repository you linked has a requirements.txt file we can use to install all the required modules without typing them out by hand. This can be done using pip and the ”-r” flag. pip install -r requirements.txtNow that everything is installed, you should be able to run the application as normal with: sudo python -m srcIf you close your terminal window, you’ll have to reactivate the virtual environment the next time you want to run the script/program. You can also write a bash script to do this for you.

Without a Virtual EnvironmentIf you don’t want to setup a virtual environment, you can install the modules user wide. This will make it so the installed packages are available every time you run python. You can do this with pip as follows. Make sure to run this command in the root folder of the application (the folder src is in) pip install -r requirements.txtYou should then be able to run the script/program as you did before with sudo python -m src

NateSwift ,

Please avoid Manjaro. I’ve had my Manjaro install break more than any other distro. If you want something arch based, you’re better off installing Arch from scratch, using the arch install script, or using EndeavorOS. All three of these options use the normal arch repositories which are far more stable than the Manjaro ones, and also offer much better compatibility with the AUR

NateSwift ,

This is super common with fighting games. The expectation is that people will be playing on all kinds of input devices, many of them custom. I wonder if part of it comes from the older game’s tutorials being written for arcade cabinets where that’s how the buttons were actually labeled
