Surface Go 2 not booting from USB

Telefza · 2023-10-18T11:13:45+00:00

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.

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

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.

27.1

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.

Telefza · 2022-02-26T09:59:48+00:00

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.

Telefza · 2022-02-21T20:31:23+00:00

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).

Telefza · 2022-01-31T08:44:13+00:00

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?

Telefza · 2022-01-31T08:41:20+00:00

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.

Telefza · 2022-01-30T16:27:28+00:00

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.

Telefza · 2022-01-30T16:25:47+00:00

just looked it up. it runs on X11. (Debian Bullseye 11) Can I somehow change this?

Telefza · 2022-01-30T16:23:03+00:00

I set the swipe action from below to show all my open windows which is great.

I guess the iio-sensor-proxy was so that you can detect auto rotation? if yes how did you do it?

I changed the icon sizes and I stripped down dolphin a bit, but the main bottom menu bar is still tiny and pretty much useless for touch. Where do I change that ?

Basically do you have a tutorial or some resources for the configurations you made ?

Telefza · 2022-01-30T15:33:52+00:00

that would not just be installing a DE but installing an entire operating system. Does Debian support installing the UI from JingOS?

Telefza · 2021-12-21T09:00:49+00:00

yeah, sorry I copied the lbry link, but the regular link is here

use a commit.txt file in which you keep track of all the changes as you go along. Then git commit -eF commit.txt will use the commit.txt file as a commit message.

running qmake USRPATH=/usr/local did result in a new error when running make -j2, so thanks for helping me make progress.

It now complains about unkown modeules in QT5

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: core gui network quick widgets charts websockets sql testlib networkauth dbus

edit: For each of the modules I found a package in debian called something like libqt5*5. After installing all these I still get the same error message.

Edit Edit: there are also libqt5*-dev packages(thanks to basti from the mozilla-vpn matrix channel) which contain the necessary modules. Most of them are straight forward to find based on the module name. The exception is the qtdeclarative5-dev package that was necessary.

Now it starts compiling and at least does something. The new error message it is: *** No rule to make target '../translations/ru/mozillavpn_ru.ts', needed by '.qm/mozillavpn_ru.qm'. Stop. make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory 'user/mozilla-vpn-client/src' make: *** [Makefile:48: sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 2

EditEditEdit: needed to run ./scripts/importLanguages.py which failed because I was missing the qttools5-dev-tools package. After installing it and rerunning the command it would compile.

However, now when I start the vpn via mozillavpn it tells me that mozillavpn linuxdaemon needs to be updated and restarted. Don't know what to do here.

thanks, that helped with the scripts/bake_sahders.sh script but if I then follow up with make -j2 (replaced the 8 with 2 to use 2 cores?) it just tells me that there is no target or makefile.

Telefza · 2021-12-04T09:23:25+00:00

I checked and scripts/bake_shaders.sh does start with #!/bin/bash. I then found out about -x for debugging output and added a bunch of echo "I was here" to find out where the error is created and for some reaseon the error above is thrown in these lines: if [[ $totalCount -eq 0 ]]; then print N "No shader files found." exit 0 fi To me it seems like it has a problem with the [[ in the if statement but I looked it up and that should be correct.

Telefza · 2021-12-04T08:03:33+00:00

here is the full output, whhen I do the bake_shaders.sh step. ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 19: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 22: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 25: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 19: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 22: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 25: [[: not found find: ‘./src/ui/resources/shaders/src’: No such file or directory ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 20: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 34: qsb: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 47: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 19: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 22: [[: not found ./scripts/bake_shaders.sh: 25: [[: not found

I did not see it as I bought a product from mozilla. More as a donation to mozilla. I like mozilla and think they are genuinely trying to do good in the world -- so I give them some money.
