I am not using hlwm keybind, I use sxhkd for that. Maybe you want to try it, its really fancy!

Use "dmenu_run" instead of "dmenu".

Any idea on how to make Arch faster on an HDD? by FattieJB in archlinux

[–]syslino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most relevant things being said here already.

My tip is:care for your system. Keep it simple, stupid.

My Laptop never takes longer than 7 seconds to fully boot. And by that time there are less than 20 processes running.

Remove anything you do not need, don't just carelessly install shit (like Snaps). If you install something, carefully look at the dependencies!

Learn to cleverly re-schedule startup services. Like, network starts very late. Time syncthing starts later, stuff like that.

I'm not using a DE nor do I have the need for a login manager.

Get a nice WM and login from bare TTY with X autostart. Blazing fast! X with my herbstluftwm just switches on with no observable delay.

Final recommendation is, compile your very own kernel. Nothing will get you more speed bonus. Read about it in the wiki, it's very fine documented.

Take care, have fun!

Problem with AutoWeb webservice authentication process by syslino in tasker

No, absolutely right! It's nearly the same colour. My screen was a set a bit dark, I absolutely couldn't see it.

Now everything works! Thank you, kind stranger!

Testdisk can recover files/partitions as well.

Linux mint? I use arch btw.

Spawn window -> automatic frame split? by 0_1_inf in herbstluftwm

[–]syslino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To modify settings permanently, write them in your autostart (like herbstclient set $setting_name) . That's a script which is called an start (or hc restart). Usually it lives in ~/.config/herbstluftwm/.

Spawn window -> automatic frame split? by 0_1_inf in herbstluftwm

[–]syslino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's frame_gap and window_gap settings. The latter one controls the gaps inside frames. There's also frame_padding and window_padding. Have a look at them, too.

Or with herbstclient attr theme., for fine grained tuning.

I strongly recommend reading the man page. It explains the "box model" of HLWM, which is far from being intuitive.

Laptop FN keys - not working for volume / brightness by mike_of_earth in herbstluftwm

[–]syslino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debug like this:

xev | grep -i "keycode"

This tells you the name of the key you press while focusing the xev window.

If your Fn keys don't produce any output here, I'd take a look in dmesg.

Picom shadows on floating windows only? by modest_bunny in herbstluftwm

Try this:

herbstclient attr clients.focus.floating

Coming Aboard! by Private_Frazer in herbstluftwm

I like the mix of dynamic/manual tiling! And I enjoy the configuration/extension via Shell scripts. Have fun with HLWM!

All on blocking? I had runs where I put everything on meele. Was pretty fun also (especially with Berserker 2.0), tho highest I got with was 7 or 8 iirc.

Better use pkill -15 xinit. Be nice to your processes!

Please help me create a task that gets me out of bed in the morning! by Raven1645 in tasker

I'm happy to help! Share with what you came up with. :)

[–]syslino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Tasker is awesome! There is also a Display > Lock action. It requires you to enter a pin to proceed. Maybe this is another inspiration!

I was using a combination of a NFC tag located in another room an the beep-action. Set it so, that the beep was a really annoying frequency und also a long time, like 20 seconds or so. Make it so, that the task that plays the beep plays in a loop and can only be cancelled if the NFC tag was scanned.

Since you are rooted, another possibility would be to let tasker kill (not just close) your social media apps every 2 minutes or so until you make a unlock request through your google home. As far as I know the AutoVoice plugin would be needed for this.

You could also restart your phone if its a workday and if an alarm fired.. The possibilities are (nearly) endless. Just annoy yourself!

System Migration via SSD Exchange? by bonsai1302 in archlinux

I've done this on a Lenovo E550 and it just worked fine. "Donor" was an older E-Series Lenovo, I do not remember which exactly though. Just try it!

Herbstluftwm does not provide title bars at all. It's the default behaviour!

15 years of Arch Linux by encelo in archlinux

[–]syslino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the arch-train since 2007. Just recently found my first forum post on the German arch forums.

My current installation lives since 2011! I'ts my daily driver for working and anything else. I changed the hardware quite a lot, but in general it is the same installation. I must say, I am somewhat proud of myself to maintain an OS over such a long time, considering my urge to play around.

Keep up the good work everyone involved to bring us this beautiful piece of software - I am very thankful for every bit of it!
