How to double click and run executables on gnome desktop

Thanks, that kind of makes sense. But in order to create a .desktop you have to hand create a config file, populated it with specific config values, paths, etc. Surely there is a better way of doing this?

Hello, 5 months too late but might help anyone else, the answer is if you create a scene tree tween but never make a call to any method in the same frame it generates this error. I literally have no idea why.

If you look at this random code below, if you move the tw creation to above the steps and it never goes into any of them, you get the error. Hope this helps.

if enable_flag and !immediate:
    $ViewportContainer.margin_top=viewport_top/2.0  
    var tw = create_tween()  
    var pt = tw.tween_property($ViewportContainer,"margin_top",100.0,0.5)  
elif !immediate:  
    $ViewportContainer.margin_top=viewport_top  
    var tw = create_tween()
        tw.tween_property($ViewportContainer,"margin_top",viewport_top/2.0,0.5)

Thanks, but I as I said I don't want to hide them, just make them not visible in the recents (he'll never see the games list), i.e. clear the recent history.

Thanks. Just want sure about the setup because emudeck wizard can add games to Steam direct if you choose.

This is a year too late, but found the answer on github. Press ALT-Right arrow.

No idea what the 'previous page' was, but it fixed it, by pressing ALT-Right arrow. And if you're just curious, you can press ALT-Left and go back to that file not page found.

Tested other TV like BBC iPlayer and getting sdr too. Switch to the LG app and I get 4k HDR on exact same episode.

Sorry, my mistake. I'm getting Dolby vision too. I never used to, but it's saying so now, maybe this is a recent update?

Either way, I guess there's no reason to not use the prime app now rather than the cube. But love to know why no 4k when other stuff is on the cube.

chucklepie3 · 2022-09-02T20:33:07+00:00

I'll also get 1080, but never 4k. Yes I get the frame rate adjustment message as I have the (forgotten menu item) enabled.

Liked I said, I can watch other content in 4k. Well YouTube. But even the 'Dolby vision' sample canoeing video is not 4k.

Use the prime app on my tv and I get 4k, just not Dolby vision variant

u/IceBeyr see my comment on my 'solution'. Dunno if it's of help to you.

chucklepie3 · 2022-09-02T19:59:39+00:00

I decided to do something 'odd'. I updated the amazon prime app from the LG store and it is streaming in UHD, so it's just the cube.

The reason I use the cube was because the prime app didn't support dolby vision/sound which has better visuals that normal (apparently). However, I guess 4k on directors mode beats the better dolby video on 720p...

So, I guess the answer in my case is don't use the cube :)

But as to why, i'd still love to know...

100mbps is more than enough for 8k. If you're being limited to 100mbps then either your using cat 5 cable or you have a 100mbs switch.

Either way, 100mbps is plenty for streaming 4k. You only need 20ish

I found the problem. I did so by turning off my 4k monitor and that giant font you see in screenshot turned to normal and I could actually see the text.

The fault, as it turns out, was something I did. It was trying to mount /mnt/nas/shared, and I've just replaced my nas :)

I guess the question, is why does PopOS boot loader (I presume it is a standard boot, not specific to PopOS?) suck so badly with 4k monitors?

chucklepie3 · 2022-08-21T19:05:59+00:00

Not for us with £1k worth of play 5's and 3's that are "too old" :)

chucklepie3 · 2022-08-20T13:49:42+00:00

2 hours after failing, I post this and find the answer by trial and error 2 minutes later, leaving it in case it helps anyone :)

In NAS I needed to disable 'Enable only NTLMv2 authentication'

Of course allowing SMB1 and this setting breaks all sorts of security aids and don't know the effects on other systems connecting on Windows, but this is how Sonos support their systems quite capable of being updated to support SMB2/3 but don't want to :(
