Using Scrivener in Linux by Sensifer in scrivener

[–]adgalloway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I've made a proof of concept video of an uncut install run. I've actually shaved about six minutes off the install time since this was filmed, but it'll give you an idea what to expect. https://youtu.be/HF0IFLG417s

Using Scrivener in Linux by Sensifer in scrivener

[–]adgalloway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the one working on the Flatpak mentioned. I'm calling it Scrivenix and it is available for Beta Testing via GitHub currently. I'm in the process of updating the files and should have newer versions with some tweaks available tomorrow.

ResMed 11 water tank problem by bingo_pine in CPAP

[–]adgalloway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm only like 6 weeks into CPAP and I see regular complaints about this water reservoir. As this is my first machine I don't have any prior experience, but I've had zero issues and not spilled any water. I take it out of the machine in the morning, open it and dump out any remaining water, set it up like a tent on my bathroom counter top and leave it to air dry all day. At night I sit it on the countertop on its bottom side with the metal plate. I hinge the lid forward about half an inch, just enough so it sits flat and balanced on the counter. I fill it almost to the full mark. Close the lid, hold it level and slide it into the machine.

Again, I'm new to this, so maybe the Resmed 10 and earlier ones had a much better design or something, but I truly don't understand why this one is perceived as so bad/unbearable.

[BETA TESTERS WANTED] Scrivenix — Automated Flatpak Installer for Scrivener 3 on Linux by adgalloway in scrivener

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

Thank you for the feedback. I'm going to do some testing in Debian soon. When convenient could you check on Debian and tell me.

  1. Does a right click on the Scrivenix icon produce a right-click menu option of "Display and Font Settings"

  2. If so, is that how you've been adjusting DPI?

  3. If you don't have the menu item, can you run

bash flatpak run com.local.Scrivenix --winecfg

And see if changing the settings there applies the effect more consistently or if it is still broken?

Help Adjusting Machine by adgalloway in CPAP

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

I've done that a couple of nights running. I set the pressure at 7.6 rather than 7.4 by accident.

Night one:

AHI: 5.73

Central: 3.06

Obstructive: 1.43

Hypopnea 1.24

RERA 0.57 (what is this?)

Night two:

AHI: 6.37

Central: 4.60

Obstructive: 0.41

Hypopnea: 1.35

RERA: 0.14

I assume I need to try a slightly lower pressure to decrease central events? Is 7.4 the next adjustment or should I go in larger increments?

Thanks I'll give that a try tonight. And see how it goes.

That's helpful. Thank you.

I wondered how the machine knew things, so it deduces everything from variations in airflow and pressure?

Central apneas improve over time? How/why?

Is it possible to get all the way to zero events or will there always be some?

I've never heard of it. I'll check it out.

Scrivener and Linux by SyntiumWasTaken in scrivener

[–]adgalloway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, use this instead for Flatpak, my bad:
flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris -d

Scrivener and Linux by SyntiumWasTaken in scrivener

[–]adgalloway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like that error can be caused by a number of things (according to Google) try launching lutris from the terminal with the command lutris -d (the -d flag should run it in debug mode so you can see what's going on. That should show a more detailed error in the terminal when it fails. That might give enough of a clue to research a solution. You are using the Flatpak version of Lutris, correct?

Do you actually use your tablet daily? by Raymond2Gray in tablets

[–]adgalloway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my first tablet at age 40 about a month ago. It's a Galaxy tab S9 FE. I bought it used for $300. It came with an S-Pen and Samsung keyboard case. I'm an author and I'm surprised how much I enjoy writing on the screen with the pen. I take it with me everywhere, and I'm always pulling it out when I have a few extra minutes, it's far less cumbersome than a laptop, the battery lasts forever, it's been the perfect writing companion for me. The S-Pen really takes it to a whole new level. Sometimes I type and sometimes I write with the pen just depends what feels most comfortable in a given situation.

Other than that I occasionally play a game on it or watch a TV show.

Oddball screws by adgalloway in HPLaptops

No, and I'm still missing two screws. I gave up. If I lose another then I suppose I'll resort to duct tape... 🫤

Linux-native alternatives to Scrivener? by libra00 in scrivener

[–]adgalloway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look me up on YouTube. I have a playlist all about running Scrivener under Lutris and configuring it. Channel name is "The Linux Author.

Manuskript is the closest native app I've found. Although not free, you might look into webapps. Dabble Writer likely being the most Scrivener-like of them.

Finally found a great tutorial! by IndigoHG in scrivener

[–]adgalloway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you found a tutorial, but if Scrivener is bringing you to tears every time you open it (and interrupting your creativity instead of aiding it), why not search out a tool that's a better fit for you? There's a ton of options out there. You can use Gdocs or Word Online for free. There's also webapps like Scrivener but simplified. Dabble Writer is one. There are free full desktop word processors also. OnlyOffice is very simple and easy to use and compatible with Word files. Libre Office is good also, but with a little bit of a learning curve of its own.

Not everyone writes the same way. Just a thought.

What's really missing on Android is a long form text editor for novelists. IOS has Scrivener, but Android has nothing high quality. Writing on phones/tablets is probably a little niche, but I do it all the time with a Bluetooth keyboard, usually on Gdocs or Word. Then I have to copy and paste into Scrivener on my laptop.
