Anyone else noticed a decrease in quality of touchpad lately? Every once in a while, it will completely fail to detect my finger, even with enough pressure. When that happens, I have to lift it and press it again, or it just won't work. Same thing happens with two or three fingers. It will frequently miss one of the fingers, so that a two finger touch will become one finger and three fingers will become two. It's frustrating. I'm trying to scroll, only for the pointer to move instead. Or trying to close a tab, and it will do a right-click. It always happened, but now it happens so often it's driving me mad.

If you feel like reaching for xargs, always ask yourself if you're doing something dumb.

I addded a new Seagate Exos X20 20TB (brand new retail SATA ST20000NM007D) to my server recently, I posted about some weird behavior I noticed on it where it seems to be just writing at around 2MB/s or so while idle.
Well after some more time actually using it i think something is wrong, I usually use TOSHIBA MG drives, all on ext4 and LUKS and when I copy to them it just goes at full speed continuously until the transfer is over, very straight forward. This new Seagate though constantly seems to get stuck/drop in speed/whatever before continuing be that copying over SMB with teracopy or windows explorer with dolphin/rsync from another local drive, on cockpit it shows writing lots of data in chunks rather than continuously as it comes in likes its getting cached for quite a while before being actually written, the activity led too stay offs for good parts during a transfer then turns on even after the transfer is supposedly over.
Is this supposed to be normal because I honestly hate it and think something is wrong? Is this some retarded Seagate firmware thing can I do something to get it to behave normally?
Don't tell me the drive is defective, I doubt it is, i've ran badblocks on it and it came out with 0 errors and ran at full speed the whole time (completed in same amount of time as my 20TB TOSHIBAs, whenever i looked at iotop/cockpit it was running full speed), only after I formated it as ext4 with LUKS it started to act like this, which is what I always use, is Seagate just retarded or can I fix this by using XFS or smth or any ideas?
fuck just noticed it does this for reads too, so if its not easily fixable I cant even dump my TOSHIBA on it and just reuse it for writes instead of it.

>>103057607

>>103057618
Yet you didn't parallelize anything and wasted a ton of program calls for no reason with xargs. Even if you did, you'd be an idiot for not using parallel instead. xargs is an awful job manager.

>>103057679
I know. I didn't do that because they didn't ask for that. It can give big speedups though, it's just a -P$(nproc) away, especially since sha256sum is mostly CPU bound rather than I/O bound. You can easily process multiple files at once.

>>103057759
>>103057679
Also, parallel is good if you want to distribute jobs to multiple machines over SSH. For simple usecases Xargs is better, plus it's already installed.

Still that was at least constant write which went away BTW
Now i tested my other drives and it seems the others are also suffering from this issue so it means its something with the system and not the Seagate exclusively, i mean they are pretty full so i'd expect a performance hit bc of that but they have been for a good while and this literally only started happening very recently, i at least noticed after the copies to the new Seagate have been slower and constantly getting stuck.

>>103057768
It doesn't handle jobs dieing very well either, which is why I never bother with it even for local tasks. Not to mention memory constraints. xargs is good enough to run sha256sum in parallel and not much else.

Any reason why scripts run through KDE's Autorun feature upon login are kept "running" indefinitely even after hitting exit 0?

They run fine and do their thing, but if I go to Settings--> Autostart, they're somehow still running despite the script being finished (I always explicitly write "exit 0" in my bash scripts). I even see them in the list of processes in System Monitor.

You mentioned mergerfs, it's likely that your files are getting scattered across drives and the pauses are the filesystem picking a different drive.
You didn't mention how you tested, so I can't tell for sure.

>>103058816
Yes and always have, just puts on whichever drive had the most free space. My old drives are filled so everything is just going on the newest one, also to be clear I'm copying big files, I'm aware tiny files always copy slowly, big files should be maxing out the bandwidth all the way through yet they drop multiple times during copy.
Worked perfectly until recently around until I added this drive to the pool, but again copying directly from and to any of the drives locally too seems to cause this now.

Overall I still like the idea and the execution is mostly good, but man I just fucking hate GNOME. I last used it in like 2016 and couldn't stand it then, but I was really hoping it would be better by now. Luckily I can rebase to a KDE based system pretty easily, so I'll probably give that a go and settle on it.

It's tracking popularity all the same. Yes, it's implemented better (it's a one-off survey done on a timer so multiple downloads won't count twice) but that's nothing to do with being or not being spyware.

>>103058518
if your script needs to restart or you want to be able to control it stopping and starting then you should use a systemd --user service over autostart if it's not running as root
there's also some other alternatives if you're not on systemd like runit (though this requires a lot of proper manual set up), superd, turnstille

in a live environment, the system cannot see data about the eMMc partitions unless they are manually mounted first.

You're just using xargs to test string length.

anime=$(printf '%s\n' 'anime episode 1.mkv' 'anime episode 2.mkv'  'anime episode 3.mkv' 'anime episode 4.mkv'  | \
        fzf)
[[ -n $anime ]] && mpv "$anime"

>>103063287
That doesn't work the way you think it does. If you use multi-selection with Fzf it's going to output multiple arguments inside "$anime" which mpv will interpret as a single argument.

>>103062707
>>103062858
Thanks. I'll try those.

>>103063303
Yeah i messed up and forgot to add the -multi flag to the fzf command in the original post.

You can fix it with a Bash array but there's nothing wrong with Xargs, I don't get why somebody would hop on a "Xargs bad" crusade. Plus, it works with all shells.

>>103063353
Also, another thing to consider is that Xargs is a lot more intelligent than people give it credit for. If you have a stupidly large Bash array then you will run into a max arguments length issue when you pass the arguments to Mpv but Xargs is intelligent! It is not stupid and can split the Xargs invocation across multiple invocations.

This is largely a theoretical issue though because you're not going to run into this limitation often.

>>103063303
Then he should have included -m with fzf and -P with xargs.

>>103063343
Yeah if you're creating a TWM beatoff wall that's another use case where xargs is good enough because you don't actually care if one of the mpv instances dies or they start getting reaped by the OOM killer. If the programs are supposed to be producing specific output for other programs, it becomes a problem really fast.

>>103063382
>If you have a stupidly large Bash array then you will run into a max arguments length issue
That's what mapfile is for.

>>103063453
Yes, I know you can do these things in Bash. You're writing all this code just to avoid a single Xargs one-liner though. I know which I'd rather do.

debian or freebsd (or something else entirely?) if I need a stable system where most of my time will be spent on emacs doing c++ development and I could go months at a time without being able to update my system?

>>103063404
>Then he should have included -m with fzf and -P with xargs.
Don't need -P in the proper example with fzf -m, mpv is supposed to be opening up all the files as one playlist, separated by the -print0 arg in fzf instead of newlines, it's not supposed to be opening one mpv instance per file.

GNU extensions made it safe to use though. If you're on a legacy POSIX system you should pretend xargs doesn't exist.

On Linux Mint 22, dual-booting with Windows 11 that has a shared storage drive. I made a text file of the location of some files on Linux a while ago, and when I opened the text file in Windows I noticed there were Chinese (Japanese?) characters before 'home'. Whenever I do this, I always copy-paste, so there shouldn't be any typos. I don't know Chinese, and I got Linux Mint from a trusted source on the Linux Mint website. I do have Japanese System Locale files generated/enabled, so that's the only thing I think that could possibly have affected this, but everything else should be in English. Does anyone know what those characters mean and what could have possibly caused them to show up?

I haven't been hacked, have I? If the JP locale did affect my file system, shouldn't those characters be Japanese? Linux Mint is based in Europe (France I think), it's not Chinese. I never noticed any Chinese characters showing up like this before, only the ¥ symbol that replaces the backslash and occasionally some Japanese text when installing software while JP locale is still enabled.

Any ways of shifting PC audio over a wired connection to android?

I have a full-tunnel wireguard VPN running on Debian 12 behind OpenWRT router.

I have a Linux host and Android phone setup with wireguard. I cannot use the VPN from my Linux host when using my phone hotspot. Handshake is successful but packets do not reach my Linux host. It is fine when connecting from my university network. A commercial VPN on my Linux host works fine when using my phone hotspot.

Any advice on how to troubleshoot?

>>103066755
Okay, with the little research I've been able to piece together, it looks like it might either be a corruption error or a read error. Booted back into linux and recreated the shortcut with a new name, saved that link to the storage drive. Rebooted in Windows and it still shows the same address when I open it in Notepad. So I'm gonna guess it's a read error because I'm trying to view a linux wine link/shortcut through Windows.

Trying to translate it leads to gibberish. But the first character is in fact Japanese. So I think it might be related to JP system locale and Windows not being able to completely make sense of a Linux link/shortcut (Maybe it's unable to see 'root'). I don't notice any difference in performance/stability/network usage, everything seems to be working fine. So it's probably not a hacker. I think I only noticed it now because I opened it in Windows and it was a text file. On Linux it's a link that goes directly to the folder location.

So I'm trying wayland(niri). How do I actually make steam launch in xwayland automatically from launch menu? Why is there no documentation for this?
I managed to launch it manually as shown on niri git using xwayland-satellite. But how do I actually make it, so I can just launch steam without launching satellite and typing env display shit?

I bought a tall vesa-mount monitor stand that lets you rotate your monitor and got to experience a vertical monitor for the first time.(for a secondary monitor) I'll give you a TL;DR: It's AMAZING for hentai, but bad for everything else. Most hentai is vertical and filling up a vertical frame completely with artwork is amazing, but it's awkward doing anything else with it and I really don't need that much vertical space for chatrooms. I turned it back to horizontal.

how about
```

and add `save-position-on-quit=yes` to your `~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf` so that you start from where you left of ?

What are some cool things you can do with unshare? For example I know if you just do "unshare -c -n executable" it will essentially disable network access for the executable.

>>103067132
The compositor has to do that. It needs to listen on a socket and start XWayland on-demand when you run an X11 application. I have no idea if Niri supports that but other compositors like Sway, KWin, Mutter, etc, do.

Not really, only some of the ones they had left over from before the switch to systemd still have sysvinit scripts
The other init systems are in the repos but they have no init files written for them, even on devuan they were using actual sysvinit scripts for both runit and openrc, there was almost zero point to using an alternative init when 99% of the time you're still using sysvinit scripts, though things might have changed since then.

>>103075338
>though things might have changed since then.
Nope, Devuan is still shit as far as I know.

I still think it would be better to maintain a separate repository on top of Debian, not only does that give actual purpose to the Debian Init Freedom / Diversity team (yes, that's a real thing and they basically don't do anything right now) but you're not maintaining yet another pointless fork.

Init scripts can simply be separate packages like Artix does it so you manually install say nginx-openrc if you want an OpenRC script for OpenRC, otherwise you get nothing.

Install the deb. You don't want your development text editor in a sandbox. If I had to guess, all of the problems you encountered stemmed entirely from that.

The debian/devuan split happened in the first place because the former debian devs no longer trust debian. And although most software doesnt need systemd as a dependency at all, it's still better to buld and package it in a systemd-less build environment to not have to worry about weird fringe cases that packages can sometimes experience when built in a systemd environment

>>103075930
>The debian/devuan split happened in the first place because the former debian devs no longer trust debian
It was entirely political, no other reason. They're still using Debian sources, Debian tooling, etc. you don't keep doing that if you no longer trust them, there's obviously some trust still there otherwise you'd be working on replacing all of that.

Devuan is the most pointless fork ever. There's not one single thing compelling about it.

>>103078677
This doesn't make sense! Why is it that when I login as www-data I can write that file, but running an Apache CGI script from opening a URL cannot write it? With that Apache CGI script, it's operating as user www-data! I even changed the owner and group of /tmp/777 to www-data = didn't work. Logging in as www-data is not a solution.

I can get a CGI script to write files in a folder with 777 permissions at "/external_hdd/example/". I want to write to /tmp instead because it's tmpfs and I think it's a RAM-only filesystem.

>>103078773
Asked https://chat-gpt.org/chat with all of that info. Apparently, there's two separate things:

www-data[user login mode]
and
www-data[cgi script mode]

User/method "www-data[cgi script mode]" is more restricted and cannot do as many things as "www-data[user login mode]" can do. Is that actually true? chat-gpt.org/chat replied:
>This issue could be due to the fact that the Apache web server runs CGI scripts in a more restricted environment than when you log in as the user directly. This could include restrictions on file permissions, access to certain directories, or other security measures put in place by the web server. \\ One potential solution could be to update the Apache configuration to allow the web server to write to the /tmp directory. This could involve adding a specific directive to the Apache configuration file to allow write access to that directory for the www-data user or group. \\ Alternatively, you could consider creating a separate directory with appropriate permissions for the CGI script to write to, rather than trying to write to the /tmp directory. This could avoid potential security risks associated with allowing the web server to write directly to the /tmp directory. \\ It's important to consider the security implications of allowing a web server to write to directories like /tmp, as it could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities if not properly configured and secured.

This two different modes idea: is it true? It seems to be: experience proves it to be the truth.

Linux Mint or Fedora?
I have Mint and it's pretty comfy but Fedora sounds like it might have a slightly better vidya experience and I like how smooth and polished wayland/gnome looks. Mint's desktop animations are a bit sluggish/choppy and I think that's just due to x11. I could just try it but I'd have to install it to get the real performance comparisons and tests, but my Mint install is already set up the way I want it. I think I just want to hear the experience of current Fedora users. Might just be a case of greener looking grass and I keep hearing good things about Fedora, so got me interested.

smartctl is part of smartmontools. It installs in /usr/sbin which isn't always in $PATH. If you're wondering why a program isn't showing up ("command not found") run this:
>$ man [program name here]

This is annoying. Other annoying thing - python scripts in cgi-bin/: apparently can't import anything. This doesn't work:
>$ cat /usr/lib/cgi-bin/arc.py
>#!/usr/bin/env python3
>from selenium import webdriver
>print("Content-type: text/plain")
>print()
>print("test")
>#form = cgi.FieldStorage()
I have selenium installed via pip or pip3 and arc.py is set to executable. https://10.0.0.209/cgi-bin/arc.py fails because it probably failed to import that (HTTP 500 or something). Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

In sway when you drag a window on top of another, they swap places. Is that possible in i3?

This is security.

Besides CGI-Bin being a pile of crap that barely anyone uses anymore, it's good that web servers come with a secure implementation out-of-the-box that restricts what these scripts can do. Some distros may even go further and restrict it with SELinux or AppArmor. This is exactly what you want on a public facing web server.

Could some Linux magician help me out figure out how to make Foobar2000 (wine) be recognized as a media player? My media keys don't work, and on KDE in specific it's also not show in the "Media Player" popup, nor does it show the media buttons underneath the peek window.
I'd be happy just with the media keys working desu, I skip a lot of tracks when listening to music.

>>103083597
i don't know how to do any of that shit but i do know deadbeef is the same shit but better and probably does everything you asked for

>>103083597
You would need to implement a D-bus MPRIC wrapper interface (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/) so that KDE can send your commands to the player.

Someone has written one, but I've never used it, so your results may vary:
https://git.sr.ht/~dropbear/foobard

There is a good chance that it will be easier and more satisfactory for you to explore Quod Libet. It is not exactly the same as Foobar, but aims for a flexible and customizable UI experience that you may well find meets all your use case requirements.

My half baked solution is to manually add global shortcuts that run a small script to invoke foobar2000.exe. I haven't really needed much more.

#!/bin/sh
set -e
if pidof foobar2000.exe &>/dev/null
then
        export WINEPREFIX=/your_wine_prefix
        readonly FB2K='C:\Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe'

        case "$1" in
        (--)    shift; exec wine "$FB2K" "$@";;
        (--play-pause) exec wine "$FB2K" '/command:Play or pause';;
        (--seek-back)  exec wine "$FB2K" '/command:Back by 5 seconds';;
        (--seek-fwd)   exec wine "$FB2K" '/command:Ahead by 5 seconds';;
        (--vol-up)     exec wine "$FB2K" '/command:Up';;
        (--vol-down)   exec wine "$FB2K" '/command:Down';;
        (*)
                echo 'error: unknown action argument' >&2; exit 7;;
        esac
else
        echo 'error: foobar2000 is not running and thus can not be controlled' >&2
        exit 8
fi

Put the script somewhere in your $PATH and add the shortcuts.

It was a little easier in Plasma 5.

So logging in as www-data is indeed different than Apache's significantly restricted actions that it allows www-data to do with the CGI. What's some alternatives to cgi-bin? I can't think of any so tell me about it if you feel like it. Stuff that can run .sh anywhere on the LAN.

Thank you for the script! It works very well. The only issue is well, you can't really bind the media keys to both Foobar and everything else at the same time. Luckily I only really ever use prev/next on the music player so I don't really mind. I'll try to make that DLL the other anon suggested work just because it'll be easier to set up in future installs. For now your script is really nice.

>>103083743
Ah I see so the actual problem is the lack of MPRIS? I was trying to search about the issue but didn't know what that was.
>foobard
I'm not really good with this stuff but I suppose I need to build the dll myself and the readme says that it needs to be build on windows. I'll boot a different machine later today and try. That'd be the ideal solution if it works since it's just a .dll I can set up and forget. Thanks a lot.
>Quod Libet
Lot's of personal issues but it's defintely the best native one I've used, tagging is messy (when you edit an inline tag it compresses all into one like the Genre), awful lyrics plugins (can't find a way to display both synced and unsyced lyrics in the same damn place), and lots of little issues, search is alright but not as good as foobar's, playlists are rather shitty (luckily the search function can serve a similar function in my case).

>>103083622
You know, I wrote a bunch of stuff to your reply but honestly it's just a waste of time and you probably wouldn't even read it anyways. You suggested me deadbeef because you've simply never used foobar or used only 10% of it. Just know that there's not a single Linux player with as many useful features as Foobar does and I'm honestly jealous that you think you could replace it with something else. Ignorance truly is bliss, if I wanted it to just ""play music"" i'd use mpv or mpc. Picrel is my current foobar setup, they can end up looking very different to the default install.

What I wanted was pretty self-explanatory, help with setting up media keys on foobar. Not how to install deadbeef, mpv, Quod Libet, Strawberry (formerly clementine), DeadBeef, mpd (and mpc ncmpc,ncmpcpp, lgbtqiagtabzxyz), fooyin, mpc, steam music player, LSD to hallucinate the songs in my mind, building from scratch, installing gentoo, vlc, windows media player, gwenview, whatever shit ebussy made, and any of the other trillion glorified GUI's for MPD that couldn't pass as a first year's compsci project. Fortunately other anons already helped me (and I replied to them at >>103084246 ) so I'm fine.
Picrel was the reply meant to >>103083622 but its honestly just a combination of vitriol, me being tired, and seeing the same exact clueless suggestions every time foobar is mentioned. Might as well just show it to stop people from wasting their time replying to me with """alternatives""".

I need to build this one program from source but it's kinda old and it requires old versions of stuff like python and npm
How is building usually handled in cases like this, or like, when you have multiple target systems for example? Surely you don't just hunt and force install older versions and remove them after you're done and go back to the newer stuff

Is getting i3wm to work skill issue?
I have used it for few months ago, while I liked how snappy everything feels, many things failed to work.
Like setting a printer, getting BT to connect, KDE connect.
Notification didn't work as it should and even sub window applications didn't intilize as it should plus the dozens small hassles.
I'm using KDE now, while it does all what I need perfectly it require some hardware upgrades.
Just opening firefox take ~1 GB of ram and my system start to swap on my HDD, which make thinks very slow.
What should I do?

>>103086045
>Like setting a printer, getting BT to connect, KDE connect.
i3 is just a window manager. It doesn't do any of those things by design.

The fact they aren't working right is because you either didn't configure it properly or mis-configured it altogether.

>>103084986
May cause weirdness if you try to call the script from an automated context, if 'terminal' no longer resolves to what you want, or if the calling process sets argv[0] to something else. Will cause failure to run if you trigger these somewhere a GUI terminal can't run like ssh.

Like other anon said, just run the terminal from the launcher. It has more context info.

>>103086062
I know.
But try getting KDE connect to work with it and it would glitch.
Mostly because of the notifications, even after setting it to float.
There is no proper Printer configuration GUI and CUPS doesn't work even though people claim it does, since all advance features are looked in GUI.
BT connection is mostly because blueman conflict with i3WM small notification window when switching between devices.
I tried several ways, but all didn't work for it.
I realize this might be skill issue, but I've been using it for 3 years plus and still couldn't get some things to work.
For example, proper VM window would fail to load perfectly.

That's all you need to do for 99% of games, especially popular ones. If that doesn't work there will be notes about what you need to do on appdb.winehq or protondb. You don't need Lutris bringing its own broken wine builds and obsolete recipes to the party.
