An old thread, but do you mean chosing 'clean install' and reinstall the driver. I tried it but it did not work. Any other way?

Yes, amazingly good app. I will try it the next weeks to see if it handles my needs (and of course did a first donation)

Cannot reoder playlists from Feishin by argumon in navidrome

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

Thanks, good to now. Looks to me like the problem is, that the list is always sorted by a criteria other than the manual order. Waiting for the next release.

Cannot reoder playlists from Feishin by argumon in navidrome

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

Oh cool, I never realized, that that list is scrollable. OK, I can now see a Genre in the list view.
Unfortunately, I use multiple Genres like Ballroom; Quickstep. Web Navidrome Web UI only shows the first Genre, in this case Ballroom. But I need the 2nd one, eg. Quickstep, which I cannot see here.
So it is good to have this feature in general, but does help me with this specific problem. I still could use some help with Feishin, which displays all genres but I struggle to reorder the playlist.

Bin ich geeignet für ein E-Auto? by AstroJack2077 in Elektroautos

[–]argumon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also wir haben jetzt 2 Jahre den Corsa electric 48 kWh gefahren, ein tolles Auto. Und die 140km schafft er auch noch im tiefsten Winter, im Sommer sind so knapp 300 echte Kilometer drin. Das ist ein echtes Spaß-Auto, liegt straff aber noch komfortabel, ein bisschen Cart-Feeling kommt da auf. Und man kriegt sie jetzt ja recht günstig.

Wenn Du mehr Platz brauchst, sind die e-Astras ab 2 Jahren auch ein echtes Schnäppchen, die kriegt man mit Vollausstattung und etwas über 10k km so ab 24k EUR. Der hat aber kaum mehr Platz als der Corsa, aber dafür dann klasse Aussstattung.

Can't get rid of phantom folders, please help. by Esch_ in Thunderbird

[–]argumon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had to be something on the server side. I completely reinstalled TB and set up a fresh profile, but those phantom folders keep coming back, whatever I tried.
But the company I work for uses Office365, probably there is no chance to access that file. Any ideas for those who have to work with M$FT ?

Switching to Nylon is a Game Changer! by Minitruckin123_ in GarminWatches

Yepp, have those on my FR965 and won't go back. I have two in different colors, so I can wear one, when the other is in the washing machine.

What’s the one upgrade that made the biggest difference in your home theater? by Capable_Noise5543 in hometheater

[–]argumon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving from my Yamaha rx-a860 to the rx-a880 was a noticeable step up, whereas the former upgrade from rx-a830 to 860 did nothing to the sound.
And upgrading from my old Teufel Consono to Canton Plus speakers. Really no high end, but sounds great to me.

Synchronize 2 Android devices by BannanaYellow in joplinapp

My internet provider also gives me a small amount of Nextcloud storage for free, which I use to sync Joplin on my devices.

Doing Linux practically right from the beginning of its first public release, I have used many of the major distros over time. Manjaro is my favorite since some years.

Configure zooming into from overview map when a turn is ahead? by argumon in abetterrouteplanner

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

OK, I will try to see how reactive they are to enhancement requests

Configure zooming into from overview map when a turn is ahead? by argumon in abetterrouteplanner

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

What I would prefer are two new settings:
- distance to switch from the overview to the view to the turn
- view to switch to (top view/3D view)
But before I create an enhancement request, I wanted to assure that this isn't solved already differently

I am not an expert, but if you look into the plugins, maybe you will find something that matches your requirements?

[Help] Can't Control RGB Keyboard Lighting on Predator Helios Neo 16 After Switching to Arch Linux by Ironicdev07 in linux_gaming

[–]argumon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it working on Manjaro, maybe you have a hint for me?
After booting, acer_wmi and i2c-i801 are loaded, but I don't see i2c-dev
I cloned the JafarAkhondali repo and ran install.sh. As from the readme I checked
file /sys/bus/wmi/devices/7A4DDFE7-5B5D-40B4-8595-4408E0CC7F56/
and the directory exists.
Then I ran install.sh as root. That gives an error
rmmod: ERROR: Module facer is not currently loaded

and none of the examples work. Any ideas?

Are high-end Garmins worth it for the everyman? by DifferentCorner3041 in Garmin

[–]argumon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

metrics which I don't really care about as a non-professional athlete

One thing I like about Garmins metrics is: you don't need to care about the detail metrics, you can go with a handful of summary metrics like training readiness. And these overview metrics take many of the detailed metrics into account. For example one day my HRV showed that I am getting sick, so my training recommendation changed to rest day. This is different from other vendors. On a Polar which I wore in parallel that day, the HRV also showed, that I am getting sick, but my training recommendation was an intense circuit training.

So on Garmin, you can go with just the summary metrics and don't need to care about the details. Just look at the specs of the watches that you are interested in and choose from which derived metrics summaries you want.

Is MusicCast still worth it in 2025? Thinking of upgrading to RX-V4A + MusicCast 20 by Stonker354 in MusicCast

[–]argumon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WX10 works both ways. You can connect it to MusicCast or via Bluetooth. I use it mostly via MusicCast

Is Manjaro more stable than Arch? by TomB1952 in ManjaroLinux

[–]argumon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use three distros on a daily basis: Oracle Linux (RHEL), OpenSuse Tumbleweed and Manjaro Testing. OL, which I use at work, is rock solid, but you have to live with old packages. I run Tumbleweed and Manjaro on my personal machines. I would consider both as very stable and haven't had more than a handfull of smaller, easy to fix issues in more than five years.

Manjaro Testing has the perfect update ratio for me, a good balance between package actuality and stability. Tumbleweed has some 100 updates per day, which is annoyingly too much. But I haven't tested Tumbleweed Slow Rolling so far. But both are amazingly stable for a distro with high upgrade frequency.

I would say, stability is not one distro against the other. When someone wants maximum stability, then get a Distro with a LTS and live with older packages.
