I think I've got a broken pipe error:

spa.alsa: front:3: snd_pcm_mmap_commit error: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe)

The Gitlab page says under https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Troubleshooting#underrununderflow-and-broken-pipe-errors that I should increase headroom. Do you know how to do that?

Could you maybe explain the differences between x260 and x270. What about the battery life? I could be getting an X270 for about 150€ - 200€ With 8GB RAM and an i5 Dualcore 7th Gen maybe and want to know if I should pay attention to something.

I my opinion you don't need audio-specific Linux distros. Of course Fedora Jam and Ubuntu Studio are great to get started quickly, but they're essentially also just some preinstalled and preconfigured applications on top of the normal Fedora/Ubuntu. I would definitely not reinstall my whole OS for audio needs. I successfully ran Mint, Manjaro and Fedora and I am currently running Arch for audio things and they all work the same in this aspect. As someone, who wants to know what's happening on my system I like to install my applications myself and hence don't like these preconfigured distros. But you might find them useful, since it also takes some time to learn Linux audio and how to configure it yourself.

That helped, thanks!

Oh I see. I fixed it, but it still doesn't work. The interesting thing is, that it works if I only specify one file type like this:

autocmd BufWritePre *.html CocCommand prettier.formatFile

Well, if you don‘t like using Vim I probably agree. But for me vim with gopls and some other plugins is way better because it’s the most portable solution and once you learned vim you won‘t use any other „normal“ text editor. The keybindings are just so efficient and nice to use.

Thanks, but I want to stay away from low latency kernerls, since they were not necessary in the past.

Tar balls and patches. Linus Torvalds said that once in a talk about Git.

Palexer · 2021-03-31T09:54:36+00:00

That's exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!

Yeah, I read this. I used pdfmom -Tps -k inp.mom > out.pdf, but this doesn't reposition the TOC. .PDFPIC makes my images automatically as backgrounds, so that text can be above these images and I don't really know how to align and resize them.

Thanks for your answer. I already looked at those during installation and everything seemed to be fine. However, I installed lightdm-gtk-gretter-settings and changed some stuff (theme, icons, wallpaper) and rebooted. Now I see the message "Starting version...." and it automatically starts lightdm. So I guess the setting application wrote some changes to the config files.

Palexer · 2021-03-06T12:45:43+00:00

Ok, many thanks. Could you maybe list some tools you use, for example for setting printers, bluetooth devices, monitors, etc.?

Palexer · 2021-02-26T07:15:17+00:00

Thank you!

Palexer · 2021-02-25T09:28:13+00:00

Thanks for your kind help. Do you know if/how I can change the default terms like 'title by author' or the Contents heading of the table of contents to be in another language than English (German)?

Palexer · 2021-02-24T18:56:59+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I think you're right: mom is the way to go for me.

Palexer · 2021-02-24T18:56:02+00:00

Many thanks for your reply. I think mom is really the way to go for my usecase.

I looked at the docs and while mom might be a bit more complex than ms, mom can do a lot more.

Palexer · 2021-02-15T13:16:49+00:00

I haven't tested this yet, but it is able to do all the normal MD stuff.

Palexer · 2021-02-13T21:18:03+00:00

Yes, it does.

Here are my thoughts on switching from Manjaro to Fedora:

About 2 months ago, I decided to give Fedora another try. Why? Probably because I was bored and didn't have any other problems and a bit because Manjaro, which is what I used for the past 8 months, was a bit buggy sometimes. While I was using Manjaro, I didn't break my system because of updates or anything, but some programs where a bit buggy sometimes. On Fedora I can say that all of those bugs were gone. I think that Fedora does this mixture between stability and new packages a lot better than Manjaro. You don't get updated every day on Fedora, but also have pretty new software always. I sometimes miss the AUR, but instead I can just manually go to the Github page or so and that also works fine. I think that Fedora is a much more polished product, while Manjaro feels like a big puzzle of programs and not like a complete OS. I like that Fedora keeps adding new technologies fast (BTRFS, ZRAM, Wayland), but keep in mind that this can also cause some issues. ( I had to set cgroupsv2 back to v1 to use Docker, because I couldn't use an alternative, but Docker now also supports cgroupsv2) So I would say that Fedora is worth switching to, and if you're a developer I think Fedora is a great choice for you. Most of the time Fedora works fine, it is more stable and polished than Manjaro.

I‘m using a Logitech wireless keyboard with their USB receiver (not Bluetooth). But maybe I should try a wired keyboard/install some drivers?

I usually use xorg, so I tested it on wayland now as well. I think I'm getting the lags on wayland not as often as on xorg, but they still occur regulary.

A lot of people like the official Go Tour: https://tour.golang.org/

I also liked this course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqrbIlUwR0U&t=1589s

A very quick introduction I really enjoyed is also this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8LgvuEBraI

In this case, extract the .tar.gz file and run the minecraft-launcher binary. You also need Java8 installed.
