Hello everybody!

Removed 'ristretto' and was surprised with a lot of packages that go with it

Surprised that these packages are seen as NEW and will have to be downloaded again.
Why are these packages not in some cache folder?
After all I did not purge them.

I dont have 'ansible' and cannot install it due to the lack of space.
Besides I am not sure this script works correctly here.

output after display was off i.e. with default frequency

intel_reg dump | grep PWM

@Head_on_a_Stick

1. followed the instructions in the 'readme' file but it seems they are not adequate

2. 'udev info' and 'udev test' commands got from ubuntu forum when looking for solutions

3. after a reboot got the message

GOTO 'backlight_pwm_rules_end' has no matching label in: '/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-intelpwm.rules'

once into the login window my keyboard did not work

anyway, thank you for the suggestions!

hello everybody!

both 'vim' and 'moc' cannot display cyrillic in 'xfce4-terminal'. for comparison, with 'xterm' and 'tilda' both work fine.

locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

added BG with 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' but the issue is still present 

locale -a
bg_BG
bg_BG.cp1251
bg_BG.utf8
C
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

any suggestions are appreciated!
thank you in advance!

p.s.
checking '~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc'  showed

cat ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc | grep Font
FontUseSystem=TRUE
FontAllowBold=FALSE

so, changing the default font solved it

awesome!
adding 'vt100' did it.

thank you, hevidevi!

Hello everybody!

Every time the display goes off 'intel_reg write' gets disabled.
Every time have to restart it manually. It' very annoying.

intel_reg write 0x61254 0x07a10232
Warning: register spec not found in '/usr/share/igt-gpu-tools/registers'. Using builtin register spec.

How to make it permanent?

Hello everyone!

I want to change 'xterm' 'bg' and 'fg' colors. Tried several variations but always get the same output

xterm: unable to allocate fg/bg color

Here is what have tried

*background: brown
*background: boldbrown
*background: #FDF6E3
*background: 255 218 185
*background: \033[43m
*BACKGROUND: brown

All of the above with ""
Plus 'black' for 'fg'

What is the right way to change the colors?
