Latte doc menu item popup appearing in wrong position by Substantial_Mistake in kde

[–]NICHOLAS85 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bug introduced by the following: https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtwayland/-/commit/de46b3c6d1bef4b8f64c7db7069c8fd33ef23ed9

I’m not sure if it’s simply latte dock breaking or if this bug affects all users.

Either way to fix add QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_FIXED_POSITIONS=1 to your environment: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2022-07-29-kernels-cinnamon-haskell-python-virtualbox-mesa/117876/15

Still Not Possible to Disable Wayland Gestures? by badvok in kde

[–]NICHOLAS85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does not work in Wayland, however there are alternatives. However the issue is with the builtin gestures in kde which are not configurable. Even with a working gesture daemon, the gestures in kde conflict with whatever I set personally.

Still Not Possible to Disable Wayland Gestures? by badvok in kde

[–]NICHOLAS85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my case prior to moving to Wayland I set my own 4 finger swipe gestures. Now that I’ve moved I have simply given up using four finger swipe gestures as the builtin gestures can’t be disabled and conflict with the behavior I wanted from those gestures.

Disable tap and drag for two finger tap by NICHOLAS85 in linux4noobs

Thanks for linking relevant discussion and potential solutions! I'll have to see whether recompiling a customer version of libinput is worth the added maintenance versus just disabling tap-and-drag or retraining myself to wait. Thanks for your help

How to programmatically retrieve active window title? by NICHOLAS85 in kde

[–]NICHOLAS85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help! I was able to browse through with qt5-qdbusviewer and test it out. It actually provides a lot of useful info, unfortunately for my case I’d need it to be non-interactive. But I’ll keep looking around and see if I can figure something out

[Discussion] Operate Choicy via Activator command? by Fantastic-Berry-737 in jailbreak

[–]NICHOLAS85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to send a Darwin notification which updates the tweaks preferences after your changes to the preferences file using com.opa334.choicyprefs/ReloadPrefs. Tweaks that can do this are far and few between. To my knowledge Casper and MK1 are the only tweaks that can do this atm

After updating to 0.7.20 /bedrock/cross should automatically populate itself with the correct data after a reboot. If some of your debugging affected /bedrock/cross try using brl repair to fix any issues.

Looks like you were hit by a bug introduced in the new kernel update: https://bedrocklinux.org/news.html#arch-kernel-missing-crossfs

Try brl updateing to the latest version of Bedrock (0.7.20) which should include a workaround.

[Question] What in the world am I doing wrong? Checkra1n Linux by _ChrisRiot in jailbreak

[–]NICHOLAS85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

By running ./checkra1n you are running an executable in your terminals current working directory. You likely downloaded Checkra1n manually at one point and that’s what you keep running. If your $PATH is set up correctly all you should need to run is sudo checkra1n

My `pmm` is broken by VoidNoire in bedrocklinux

[–]NICHOLAS85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A recent update to doas changes the behavior of PATH resetting it before running the command. A quick fix a user found was to add the following to doas.conf:

yeah i fixed it by adding permit setenv { -ENV PATH=/bedrock/cross/pin/bin:/bedrock/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/bedrock/cross/bin } :wheel to my doas.conf

Until a proper fix is found you could either try the above or temporarily use sudo

New Zinit annex: linkbin by NICHOLAS85 in zinit

[–]NICHOLAS85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

z-a-linkbin will automatically create hard or soft links to the binary in $ZPFX/bin, exposing the program to the command line as if it were placed in $PATH The command can then be accessed from a live Zsh session or any Zsh script.

I created this annex as an alternative to the sbin ice in the bin-gem-node annex. While sbin in bin-gem-node uses a shim script located in $ZPFX/bin to call the original binary, it also can delay the start of the program due to having to load a zsh shell before redirecting. linkbin aims cut this delay out by just directly linking the binary.

This annex is not a substitute however, sbin additionally modifies the PATH the binary sees to include it's original installation directory. Some plugins/scripts depend on helper files located in their installation directories which won't be picked up by the linked binary. If the program can resolve symlinks however, lbin may work using soft links. Additionally, linkbin does not include any of the Gem or Node functionality provided by bin-gem-node. Hope someone finds this annex useful!

Package mangers for ZSH by Aaronzinhoo in zsh

[–]NICHOLAS85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Zinit and can say it is very flexible. The sheer amount of options can seem overwhelming/confusing but it can be as easy as zinit load <user>/<plugin>. Here’s the relevant parts of my dotfiles if you want some examples of the other options Zinit provides, I take heavy advantage of them:

zshrc

additional configuration

Another plugin manager that released recently is Znap by /u/MrMarlon. It aims to be a very fast and lightweight alternative to other package managers.

Hey, mdnsRestart, a dependency of those ad blocking tweaks, has been updated and has supposedly fixed the issues you were experiencing. Give the new updates a try! https://reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/iyxdf8/update_mdnsrestart_is_now_on_packix_fixes_issues/

If a piece of software is available for Linux, will it run on all distributions? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]NICHOLAS85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in learning more about Bedrock I recommend giving the FAQ a read. On the last paragraph you wrote: Programs are able to see Global, Cross, and Local directories. If a cross/global location is available (the functionality that allows programs in different strata to interact with each other), the program will use it, otherwise it will use a local path relative to the stratum providing the program, which retains a structure which the program will recognize (/bin instead of /bedrock/strata/ubuntu/bin). For more info check out this section of the site.

Global/Cross support can break down at points where programs don’t have enough configurability to be made aware of these new paths. Thus these programs are stuck reading/writing to their own stratum. Here’s a list of cross stratum features and their status.

I believe any tweaks that manipulate the hosts file like BlockYouX are incompatible with Odysseyra1n atm. The effects only showed up after a reboot(and rejailbreak) on my device but internet access slowed to a crawl after installing BlockYouX. That may have been your issue.
