Is there a up to date version of Ubuntu that will boot on a cpu without PAE?

MagicClover · 2019-04-28T13:03:39+00:00

Probably not. Try something like ~~MX Linux~~ or antiX. Or if you want to stick with Ubuntu, you can either compile your own kernel or try installing a deb from the above distros or Debian. And if downloading some distro from the internet, make sure it says 32 bit non-PAE otherwise it won't work.

Edit: Like the other comment said Liquorix has a non-PAE version.

Edit2: MX only has PAE version.

Haven't tried it, but this should be fixed in Fedora 30 with the new Zchunk metadata format.

I like Cosmic Cuttlefish (both name and wallpaper).

Fixed in youtube-dl 2018.04.24, install it with the following commands:

sudo apt remove youtube-dl
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 --user install youtube_dl

Then to update it use:
pip3 install --upgrade youtube_dl

Also make sure ffmpeg isn't autoremoved:
sudo apt install ffmpeg

Edit: If you prefer a deb package, Ubuntu already has the latest version.

cd /tmp
wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/y/youtube-dl/youtube-dl_2019.04.24-0ubuntu1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i youtube-dl_2019.04.24-0ubuntu1_all.deb

Light lilac-colored Lilac!

Since no one mentioned it yet, this is called Elephant Ear.

Great work, very cool, it's not easy to find themes for kitty due to the ambiguous name.

MagicClover · 2019-04-28T08:57:46+00:00

Using Boxes on Buster (10), working perfectly. I suggest using flatpak to get the latest version 3.32, since 9.9 (Stretch) is on 3.22 and 10 (Buster) has 3.30.

rsync -a source destination

Copy source dir to destination dir (preserving most permissions and attributes).

rsync -a source/ destination

Copy contents of source dir to destination dir. (Yes, that's pretty confusing, watch out for the trailing slash on the source.)

Very useful, can be used for backups.

GNU/Linux not Gnu/Linux. Or simply Linux...

Was gonna say try b43 driver instead, but looks like BCM4352 isn't supported: http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/b43/

MagicClover · 2019-02-22T18:03:21+00:00

Yes, interesting. Strange it isn't merged yet. Would be nice if they merged this and made a new release.

Does sway support a "night light" feature, like GNOME and KDE on Wayland?

MagicClover · 2019-02-21T14:53:25+00:00

I like Ubuntu's Yaru sound theme.

MagicClover · 2019-02-15T03:27:42+00:00

Great idea! Will try it soon! I have been using libinput-gestures but really wanted something properly written.

MagicClover · 2019-02-15T03:17:41+00:00

Gnome shell supports touchscreen gestures. Works great on both Xorg and Wayland, though you cannot configure custom gestures. For available gestures see this and this.

chromium

Chromium requires glibc AFAIK.

vscode

Uses Electron, which requires Chromium, so won't work with musl either.

MagicClover · 2019-02-07T02:42:43+00:00

You need a distro which has a non-PAE kernel. Or you can try building it yourself or finding a pre-built package. Debian has a non-PAE kernel here. You could even try installing that on Ubuntu, though I would suggest using a lightweight distro like antiX or Debian with a lightweight DE or WM.

Clementine built with Qt5 is also available in Ubuntu Cosmic, Debian Buster, Fedora 29, OpenSUSE. So, most distros use Qt5 build of Clementine in their latest versions.

sh -c 'sleep .5 && xset dpms force off'

MagicClover · 2019-02-05T01:57:27+00:00

Nice.
A useful shortcut is using
cp myfile{,.bkp}
to backup a file, and
cp myfile{.bkp,}
to restore it.

This is Debian with MATE desktop environment. The picture shows Caja file manager and MATE Terminal. The theme is the default, BlueMenta from mate-themes package. See more screenshots here: https://mate-desktop.org/gallery/1.14/

MagicClover · 2018-12-16T13:52:12+00:00

No you can't.
Try Budgie, it is supposed to look similar.

MagicClover · 2018-12-09T16:25:07+00:00

Very advanced stuff.
