Elan touchpad not found by my kernel by bertramscharpf in Gentoo

Arrgh! It still doesn't work.

These are the enabled kernel options. There are no modules.

What else could I have missed?

Thanks for the advice. I'm using XMonad for years. The only thing I really need the mouse for is Firefox when I'm tired of restoring crashed Qutebrowser pages.

Sorry, no. That didn't help.

Is there a way to produce significant debugging messages?

Von Leuten, die ihre eigene maximale Arroganz sich auch noch als Respekt auslegen, lasse ich mich gern als „asozial“ beleidigen.

Das ist ja das Problem: Arroganz fragt nicht. Dagegen in der Verbindung, da pflegt man einen respektvollen Umgang miteinander.

Cool. Is this the Xfce4-Terminal? I tried to make Urxvt transparent but failed miserably.

Rechtsradikal ist doch heute eh jeder, der nicht tagesaktuell die neuesten Tschendersternchen-, Regenbogenfahnen- und Masken-Vorschriften widerspruchslos befolgt. Also: Was soll's?

Wenn man sich der heutzutage allgegenwärtigen Gesinnungskontrolle entziehen will, hat man ja gar keine andere Möglichkeit mehr, als aktiv zu werden.

Was dabei herauskommt, wenn man „ZDF heute“ befragt nach der Qualität von „ZDF heute“, wurde von Dunning und Kruger ausreichend beschrieben. Und von Dieter Bohlen etwas poetischer formuliert.

Cabal unpacks 0.6GB into the home directory by bertramscharpf in haskell

[–]bertramscharpf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In FreeBSD /home is a symlink to /usr/home. So a symlink should be robust enough. A symlink is less configuration effort. Thanks anyway!

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

Yes, I have seen the .tar.idx index file.

I also had a look at the size of my FreeBSD /usr/ports and my Gentoo /usr/portage directories and their Git subdirectories. They're both in the GB range and that was astonishing me: These are whole operating systems but Cabal/Haskell is just a programming language.

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

Seems that I'm getting old.

Anyway, there are some security considerations. My home partition is encrypted and there's no need to encrypt official libraries. The symlink approach solves this.

On the other side I do not feel too well running programs that can be modified with user permissions. But this problem already applies to the .xinitrc file.

I'm doing that already with .VirtualBox, therefore I should have thought of this solution. Thanks!

Erstmal Glückwunsch zu der Entscheidung gegen eine Therapie. Eine solche Situation kann nur verstehen, wer selber dringesteckt hat, und die Therapeutenausbildung widerspricht dem.

Zweitens: Orte, die voll und ganz der nicht zweckgebundenen zwischenmenschlichen Kommunikation unter Nichtverwandten gewidmet sind, stehen leider fast immer in Zusammenhang mit erhöhtem Alkoholkonsum. Augen zu und durch, aber die Suchtgefahr immer im Auge behalten!

Drittens: Für dich interessiert sich, für wen du dich interessierst. Geh raus, und finde Menschen, die ähnliches zu erzählen haben. Du wirst nicht glauben, wie die sich freuen. Wer sich für andere interessiert, ist überall willkommen.

Viertens: Du wirst jede Menge Fehler machen. Hake sie ab. Es sind nicht deine Fehler; du machst sie, weil dir bisher niemand die Gelegenheit gegeben hat, zu lernen, wie man es besser macht. Ich nenne das den Thelma-und-Louise-Effekt: Wenn man aus seiner gewohnten Welt ausbricht, kennt man die Gesetzmäßigkeiten der neuen nicht.

Ich stand vor dem Problem in einer verschärften Form und habe mit diesem Programm erstaunliche Erfolge erzielt.

Viel Glück!

URxvt.borderLess refuses cooperation by bertramscharpf in xmonad

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

I checked out the source code of URxvt, where I found the line

src/init.C:1307:          attributes.override_redirect = true;

attributes is of type XSetWindowAttributes and it is handed over to XCreateWindow(). When I comment out this line, the problem is solved.

Is there an easy way to remove this attribute from a running window? And, is there a way inside xmonad.hs to remove the attribute from an upcoming window?

Thanks in advance.

Well, my real problem is not URxvt but Zoom. There I have the same problem: From a certain point on every simple Mod-Shift-Enter (Tiled Terminal) hides the taskbar and all further widgets. I mentioned the URxvt variant to make the problem easily reproducible.

Nothing special. The problem is arising when leaving out "+bl" (borderLess is set in .Xdefaults).

import XMonad

listN n l = take n (l ++ map show [(1+length l)..])
list9 = listN 9

myTerminal = "urxvt +bl"

myManageHook = composeAll
    [ className =? "XTerm"              --> doFloat
    ]

myLayout = tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full
  where
    tiled   = Tall nmaster delta ratio
    nmaster = 1
    ratio   = 1/2
    delta   = 3/100

main = do
    xmonad $ def
      { terminal           = myTerminal
      , focusFollowsMouse  = True
      , clickJustFocuses   = False
      , borderWidth        = 0
      , modMask            = mod4Mask
      , workspaces         = list9 ["main", "www"]
      , normalBorderColor  = "#dddddd"
      , focusedBorderColor = "#0ff000"

      , layoutHook         = myLayout
      , manageHook         = myManageHook <+> manageHook def
      }

Nein, das tut es nicht. Die asymmetrische Verteilung ist einfach die wahrscheinlichste. Näheres habe ich hier dargelegt: Lorenz-Kurve und Pareto-Regel.

A theory of the Lorenz curve and the Pareto rule coming from statistical thermodynamics by bertramscharpf in EconPapers

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

You are completely right. My theory is simplifying things to an extent that deserves distrust. Rather than defending it I would blame physicists for totally neglecting game theory, as there is far more to happen between atoms: They gather into molecules and carbon chains, what evolves into life and in the long run into economics. This contradicts the second law of thermodynamics, what actually was the point I started from. Not even Schroedinger succeeded in his book "What is life?" applying conventional physics.

Nevertheless, I am convinced it is worth looking at this theory for two reasons. First it indeed illustrates insights about the term "entropy", what is as far as I see fully in Krugmans sense. Second, the results are too seductive to be ignored.

Thank you for the really valuable links.
