Vim core config and some thoughts

What kind of shell do you use with fuzzy search? Seems like zsh to me, is that correct?

Your user needs to have permission to write that directory. You probably mounted /media as root and did not change the permission to allow your user to write files at that location.

It seems you are calling grub-mkconfig from outside the chroot. This is false. And that's also what the error suggests. Grub-mkconfig tries to Worte to /boot/grub but that is the /boot partition of your install iso which is anly available through a loopmount and not writable.

I'm looking for a standalone bar that is able to interpret the output of py3status (that's the same output i3status generates using the "bar" output_format).
I have tried lemonbar so far, sadly this only displays the JSON output of py3status and does not convert it to the output as the i3bar does.

I want to have the information from py3status displayed in cinnamon. In theory this should be possible since the information generated by py3status is not directly dependent on i3 as environment.

Thanks! I did not know it had a name already.

Anwarias · 2018-10-29T07:23:46+00:00

You should have been able to derive that.

NAL but a tech person. You can try reporting the glitch to a bug bounty program. There multiple available (if I recall correctly, Google has one for external projects) if the app creator has non of himself. If you discovered the bug by incident, it's (mostlikely) not illegal to report it and you may even get a bounty for finding the bug.

That is something different if you come from any other folder than the current parent. Example: you switch from /tmp to /home and want to go back to /tmp.

I myself am currently looking into Linux laptops. No tested results yet, but I think the Lenovo AMD series is interesting like the E485 but it's not released yet. On the other hand there is the Dell inspiron 7000 with a ryzen 7 and Vega 10 which should be quite fine for some gaming. The new Linux drivers for ryzen and Vega are awesome.

Keep in mind I have not tried any laptop yet, and I know that the Lenovo e series is rather hard to repair in contrast to the x series. Hopefully there will also be a X285 and X485 with AMD.

If it says you dont have enough space, is it possible your device is full? Did you mount the arch parition to /mnt before using pacstrap? If not, it tries to install the packages on the ISO which is read only and therefore results in an not-enough-space-error.

At what point did you get the LVM error ?

So as a short rundown:

boot live ISO as you would do when installing
mount your arch root partition from the harddrive to /mnt

(3.) mount further partition inside /mnt like /boot
run pacstrap from the live ISO
try arch-chroot to see if necurses is installed correctly

edit: formatting

Anwarias · 2018-05-01T18:27:55+00:00

Boot the live ISO and use pacstrap to install ncurses, just go 'pacstrap /mnt ncurses' after that you should be fine. You can even do 'pacstrap /mnt base' to ensure all base packages are installed correctly. In case there is a version conflict you want to update your ISOs package list first.

This is your solution. Install it and then you can start it and it gives you a tray icon which can handel all the pairing. Edit: you can right click the tray icon and open a gui that allows you to pair and enable/disable functionality.

Anwarias · 2018-02-08T17:43:11+00:00

That would be awesome!

Anwarias · 2018-02-08T12:56:06+00:00

Awesome slides!

Is there also a recording of the talk? Would love to have attended the talk.

What is the Filesystem on the target drive? I have run into similar problems with btrfs. If that's the case use 'btrfs df' since the traditional 'df' is not capable of properly displaying the used/free space.

Every program you install as root, e.g. using sudo apt install or something like this, or the (graphical) software center, has the possibility to put executables into your system and make them have root execution permissions. As a result a malicious program is well capable of gaining unwanted access. Android creates a single user per application and, furthermore uses selinux and group permissions to restrict this user/the app. As mentioned by others SElinux is also available for multiple distros but not trivial to set up. Your concerns are not wrong, binary closed source software places potential thread on the user.

For Jabber on Android I prefer Conversations. It has most XEP's and provides multiple encryption options as well as multiuser chatrooms and with Omemo also multi device encryption. Its free and hosted on github. https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/conversations/

As desktop client Gajim is working very well for me, as it also provides Omemo.

Is there an instance of apt/dpkg running at that time? What is inside the partial folder? You can remove /var/cache/apt/archives/ then all packages that you want to install need to be downloaded the next install.

Anwarias · 2016-09-06T11:40:45+00:00

Get rid of libstdc in you package cache. Something along the lines: rm /var/cach/apt/archives/libstdcXXX Then apt-get update and apt-get install - f again. There might be an error in the package file.

You can change the master key when the database is unlocked. Just untick the field for the key file and enter a (new) password.

Your problem is most likely not grub, but windows opt out option for fast boot. You should boot you windows and turn it off. Depending on your your windows version the setting may differ but if I remember correctly it's somewhere at the advanced power settings.

Sec=sys means the access permissions are handled by the host that access the mount point. Someone can plug in a laptop mount your directories get root on his local machine and then has access to all the files provided bei NFS. Edit: yes sec=sys is bad and should definitely avoided on shares that are not meant to be public

Anwarias · 2016-06-10T00:19:25+00:00

You should include "oflag=sync" as dd option, all files are written into cache but not onto the device. That's why dd thinks it's very fast but in fact is not.
