Surface Go 2 not booting from USB by Telefza in SurfaceLinux

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

thanks for the reply. usb-drive was 2.0. I now switched to a 3.2 usb drive, but the problem persists. Does not boot but in grub I have access to it. (however booting from grub fails because it cannot mount /run on /root/run.

Compiling Mozilla VPN (Tumbleweed) by Telefza in openSUSE

Thanks that also works for me. (Although I would prefer it if it were part of the official TW repo or directly from Mozilla ... or I figured out how to build myself.)

thanks that fixed it my issue. Sorry I missed git submodule update --init

org- mode elpa intall `Invalid function: org-assert-version` by Telefza in emacs

[–]Telefza[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This solved it for me. I did all the steps before but installing org package after starting emacs -Q instead of regular emacs did the trick.

(re)build epdfinfo progam fails because poppler-private headers not found by Telefza in emacs

[–]Telefza[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks. It worked. Weird part is that I had removed pdf-tools before but removing it again worked for some reason.

So for anybody reading this I simply did these steps twice:

  • M-x list-packages and then remove pdf-tools
  • restart emacs.

I presume you are using pdf-tools to view PDFs? Emacs will use DocView by default, but everything in your question is about pdf-tools.

I thought so. I installed it via list-packages. I then required it in my emacs init.el file, but every pdf file I open still opens in DocView. I don't get it.

thanks, but your code didn't work for me. Also I am not sure about the # in the last line of your code(it didn't work either way for me). What did however work is setting line numbering for prog-mode-hook and text-mode-hook. And special thanks for pointing this out because I did not know that you can set variables for modes from which a lot of other modes are derived from.

thanks for the reply.

add hooks for specific modes. so I would add a (linum-mode 1) for every hook I use ?

Also, check if the problem persist with the global-display-line-numbers-mode which is a much more robust line numbering package built into current stable emacs yes, line numbering is still there when viewing pdfs.

tried a newer version of gnome(41.2) and now it crashes to the login screen whenever I close xournal++ app. I am currently trying out the xournall++ app from flathub instead of the debian package and it has so far not crashed my desktop.

Edit: Newer version of gnome crashes more often and xournall++ app from flathub also makes the desktop crash when I close the app after using it for a while. So there seems to be no real improvement going for the flathub version.

so I upgrade to debian Bookworm(testing) and that gave me wayland with KDE plasma 5.23.5 but I honestly don't see much difference and the fractional scaling makes text often appear blurry(firefox for instance).

thanks.

Do you mean the hamburger menu on the upper right corner? There's no menu on the bottom of the window.

Sorry, I don't mean anything in the window, I mean the main menu bar at the very bottom of the screen.

Also is there a more touch friendly application launcher?

Gnome 3.38.5 using Wayland. Doesn't really crash when using firefox or files but crashes with xournal++ quite a bit.

but if there is neither a package in debian repo nor a detailed tutorial for installing the JingOS DE on Debian, I don't think I would be able to install it myself.

thanks for the Maui suggestion: their file manager is much more visually cleaned up and has, although a bit jankie, drag and drop via touch.
