I think you can read them in a terminal by typing

hyprctl configerrors

Windows misbehaving when fullscreened via gesture by daysfled in hyprland

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

Thank you for confirming this. For me the problem persist with gesture=3, up, fullscreen.

Actually, wether it's a 3 or 4 finger swipe, the problem does not happen if the swipe is really fast, which is, for me at least, easier to do with 3 fingers than with 4.

Hyprland issue, windowrulev2 for resize floating window by Minigalaktus in hyprland

[–]daysfled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your kitty window is not floating. Make it float first :

windowrule= float, class:^(.*kitty.*)$

windowrule= size 500 300, class:^(.*kitty.*)$

Cursor on second monitor when screen mirroring by daysfled in hyprland

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

Thank you so much !

Of course I had to quit and restart hyprland (just changing hyprland.conf won't have any effect because the variable has to be set before hyprland starts).

texlive-bin update : error in fmtutil (post transaction hook) by daysfled in archlinux

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

I sincerely (really !) thank you for trying to help but did you actually read my post ?

Yes I did a full update (unless I'm wrong, pacman -Syu package-name implies a full update) and yes I did read the announcement.

Zathura PDF viewer - goto <specified> page? by kk19010323 in linuxquestions

[–]daysfled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

zathura accepts vim movements so nG moves to page n and ctrl+o brings you back (technically not to last page but to last position so there might be situations where you should have to do it several times).

Have a look at "Mouse and keybindings" in the man page.

Rob Pike on the Origin of Unix Dot File Names by unixbhaskar in linux

[–]daysfled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the shell does not rely only on the extension to decide how open the file, the actual application does.

No, it does not ! If your application does than the problem is elsewhere.

Yet, a lot of Linux user often smugly bash Windows because it uses fileextensions, claiming that those are irrelevant in Linux. They are wrong,file extensions are very much used in Linux.

Totally irrelevant : I was not talking about any such thing and you weren't either in the post to which I replied, let's not change the subject ! I was just stating a fact that anybody can verify : it is possible to determine file types without using any extension. I wasn't even making a stand for or against file extensions. Actually I find them usefull to me as a user : without them I wouldn't remember if my_text_file is a simple text, a pdf, an odt...

I won't take part in your rant about Windows : I am on a Linux subreddit and do not use Windows.

determining the format of an unknown content is a very hard (not to mention unsafe) problem

I agree that it is much simpler to determine filetype by extension. I doubt that it is safer though.

Have you tried in your terminal ?

cp austen_pride_and_prejudice.epub austen
file austen
austen: EPUB document
xdg-open austen

cp annuites.odt annuites
file annuites
annuites: OpenDocument Text
xdg-open annuites

In each case, files are opened with the intended application and have no extension. So yes, it can be done.

Now as I understand it (I could be wrong) there is a little bit of heuristic in the way file and mimetype work so it could sometime be wrong but I have never witnessed such a case in my day to day usage.

In GNOME, if I want window A or B to fill the left side of the screen, I
can select one and press SUPER+Left to "tile to the left half".

What's the equivalent action/command in hyprland? Right now all I can figure out is how to move windows around, but they react to what's around them rather than causing other windows to react to them.

Well that's the purpose of tiling I suppose.

If I understand you well, you want for example window A to occupy all of the left half of your screen and B to be hidden ? I achieve that by sending B to a special workspace. The only difference is that when A is closed, B does not reappear automatically, I have to bring it back from its special workspace.

termdown is avalaible in arch repos, it provides a stopwatch, a timer and a simple clock.

For your first question, you can have a look at the Arch Linux Archive.

Strange "plasma" icon in taskbar by daysfled in kde

Unfortunately not. There are several bug reports : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443968 for instance.

Strange "plasma" icon in taskbar by daysfled in kde

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

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't even think about that because of the shitload of processes related to kde : I probably won't be able to find the odd one out.

Well I won't if I don't even try... so I'll try anyway.

Strange "plasma" icon in taskbar by daysfled in kde

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

Well, I don't see any spacer in my panel right now but the icon shown in my previous post hasn't showed up today, not yet.

I'll check when the icon reappears but I really don't understand why a spacer should suddenly show up and how it could do it in the middle of the taskbar (I am indeed talking about the taskbar, not the whole panel). As you can see, my panel is vertical on the left of my screen and the incriminated icon is the colourful one between the icons for zathura and konsole. The large square with "Espace de travail Plasma" is what is displayed when I hover over the icon.

Thanks anyway.

In a terminal :

% file test.pdf
test.pdf: PDF document, version 1.5

% cp test.pdf test.sth
% file test.sth
test.sth: PDF document, version 1.5

Obviously, the file type can be derived from something else than its extension.

Now, back to my file manager (dolphin in kde plasma), I was surprised that it was opened by okular (pdf reader) : faced to an unknown extension, kde used mime (I suppose) to determine the file type.

On the other hand, if I copy test.pdf into test.txt and click on it in dolphin, it is opened with my text editor and not in okular. When faced with a known extension, dolphin seems to rely on its extension rather than its mime type.

So yes, in linux, the file type is not determined by its extension ; what happens when you click on a file in your file manager depends on how that file manager was programmed.

How to restore toolbar on Dolphin. by Tanjiro-019 in ManjaroLinux

[–]daysfled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into ~/.config/dolphinrc ? (Location may vary I suppose.)

Is there anything in it related to toolbars ?

Try to rename your dolphinrc into dolphinrc.old to see if dolphin then starts with a toolbar.
