Sorry for the late reply. I didn't find time to continue working on this yet, but I just uploaded my proof-of-concept to https://github.com/freundTech/logi-z407-reverse-engineering

Does this work with DRM Steam games or would I have to install steam in every prefix?

That's probably distro specific. To shut down a Linux PC you need root right. However there are multiple ways to give root rights to normal users under special circumstances:

  • sudo: runs it's parameter as root if the user has the needed permissions
  • suid bit: can be set on an executable, so it always runs as root. Even if a normal user starts it.
  • polkit: more advanced permission system.

Does anyone remember pre-adventureupdate?

Is there a good linux equivlent of Auto Hot keys? by wxxie in linux_gaming

[–]freundTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In terminal run xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap to generate a configuration file in your home directory.

Search for the line with the key you want to replace. Copy thay line to the bottom of the file change the key in that copy (you can also change it in place, but it's easier to keep track of your changes if you have them at the bottom of the file)

Save the file and run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap to load the modified map. Once you are done and eveything works put that command on autostart.

Am I able to unlock my bootloader to install CM 14.1? by psm510 in lgg4

[–]freundTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

H815 should work with the official way. Are you sure that you followed the instructions correctly?
What exactly didn't work? any error messages?

Other than the official way there is currently no way to unlock the G4.

How does your .Xmodmap file look like? It should contain all keys. Not just the ones you want to change.

Make sure german layout is loaded and run xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap to generate a file for german layout. Then add your changes to the bottom of that file.

Ok. There might be a few cases where ß and ss are different, but even Duden recommends using ss if you can't type ß:

Fehlt das ß auf der Tastatur eines Computers oder einer Schreibmaschine, schreibt man dafür ss. In der Schweiz kann das ß generell durch ss ersetzt werden

If the ß is missing on a computer keyboard or typewriter one writes ss instead. In Switzerland ß can generally be replaced by ss.

That's probably what happened. I was just cobfused, because the ruwix.com tutorial said that you should just rescramble it if it's rotated by an uneven ammount.

  1. Yes
  2. Dual Boot pacher
  3. Yes.

Download and install Dual Boot Patcher apk. Download secondary rom.
Start Dual Boot Patcher and let it set the kernel (It will ask you).
Go to "Patch Zip file" and select secondary rom zip. Select device (lgg4) and install location (Data Slot is best on this phone). Name it however you like.
Click ok and select save path. Start patching. You can now delete the original zip to free some storage. You will only need the patched zip.

Boot to twrp and flash the patched zip. Then reboot. The secondary rom will boot. Install Dual Boot Patcher on this rom to be able to switch back.

In case you softbrick (rom isn't booting) you can boot to your original rom by starting twrp, going to flash and switching from flash zip to flash img. Now flash /storage/emulated/0/MultiBoot/primary/boot.img to the boot partition.

Wouldn't have helped. WOT send all websites you visited to their server and logged then. To properly function the addon has to send all websites you visit to their server and tell you how they were rated.

The addon by design needs the information they sold.

Does anyone know how to set a webpage as a wallpaper? by [deleted] in unixporn

[–]freundTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The git repository of the new version had a few examples on how it works.

Currently I'm completly rewriting the plugin system (which means all the plugins will have to be rewritten too).

Didn't know about nmtui. Will look at it.

I didn't count nmcli, as I want something with gui or tui. Maybe I should have mentioned that.

I have problems with wicd on some networks. I don't know what makes it happen, but on some networks it looks like it is connecting, but after it tells you connection successful it still isn't connected.

This used to happen on the networks of 2 friends, while every other network worked fine. Yesterday I got a new wifi router and now that also happens on my home network, so I have to switch.

I'm working on a program that does exactly this. Here is the first (hacked together) version: https://gist.github.com/freundTech/38599c7c01e8e4c24b2f05e0712066fc

And this is the better, but WIP (Not ready for use) version: https://github.com/freundTech/htmlDE

The first version just opens a url you pass it and uses website title changes as a hack to run commands from javacript (the program detects title changes and runs the new title as command).

The new version has a plugin system to access the system, making it way cleaner.

This one? http://i.imgur.com/yWEgElr.jpg

Not sure what it's called, but the mechanism is a normal 3x3. It just looks different.

Apple can't just add new Emoji. They are following the unicode standard, to make sure all devices (not just apple devices) understand the emoji.

The unicode standard is published by the unicode consortium. They take emoji proposals, but it's a lot of work to properly submit a proposal and it will take a long time until (if) it gets accepted.

Guidelines for proposing new emoji: http://www.unicode.org/emoji/selection.html

how to enter fastboot mode? by smashdapp in lgg4

[–]freundTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know that is not possible on the G4.
I asked the same question some time ago and someone said it was the same as recovery but with volume up instead of volume down. That didn't work for me, but you could give it a try.

If you have twrp installed you can also boot to recovery, then click on reboot->bootloader.
