Like for instance, anyone know commands to search throughout an entire source code for all mentions of python, or in my case python2.7

So I  can find and make corrections.

In all files I might add within source code.

I tried the kernel, seems to have not fixed my problem. Although, I had 2 problems, one with my alt keys was resolved in a rather weird way anyhow.

Some kind of configuration oops had swapped my alt and fn keys. But now it is back to normal.

So now only 1 issue, an expansion slot that doesn't work.

@chris2be8 I decided anyhow that I might need more ram. So thats what I will do.

#204 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-20 12:41:21

@bilhook @JWM-Kit

I reinstalled and doas works fine again for that purpose.  Although, I did custom instead of doas no password.

Then, I did doas poweroff and doas reboot in their respective places. Now I can shutdown and reboot the way I want.

reinstalling sadly hasn't fixed my wine bug though.

#205 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-20 04:44:47

@chris2be8 do you think wayland would be affected by this then? Don't get me wrong, I hate wayland, but this is my gaming computer so ill put up with it if i have to.

@chris2be8

What web browser are you using? I can make it work.

Did you disable javascript or something?

I am using palemoon and I can get link easily. Very strange...

You should be able to as long as you wait ten seconds or so

This is the logs I have had.

Can you make any sense of this?

I am pretty sure its an xorg issue but beyond that, no idea.

#208 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-17 21:38:35

Very strange stuff though it is.

Maybe I need to find a github with instructions for doas somewhere.

That might help explain. Because the odd thing is, it aint working.

Although, I did install devuan on this one computer without installing A DE. I wonder if that means I am missing stuff I would otherwise have.

By this I mean, initially, I deselected all desktop environments. And just installed enough for a terminal, etc...

#209 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-16 20:27:49

@Bilhook in Hyperbola it works fine. But in Devuan I run into issues. Its very weird. I might be missing something here. lol.

Edit: I think it might be that I have permission errors of some kind. I tried what you suggested and still nothing. lol.

#210 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-16 20:26:50

@chris2be8 what do I do with the info I receive after I do that?

#211 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » backport question, » 2024-09-16 20:25:22

@rolfie that sounds good. My current kernel is screwing up a bit.

#212 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-09-16 00:38:13

Pocket MNT Reform is the one I ordered @chomwitt

I await the RK3588 though for that.

are there backports for newer kernels in it?

Like 6.10 instead of 6.1 for example.

#214 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-15 23:12:36

Yes, but can you figure out how to get doas to use nopassword and make:

doas poweroff go off w ithout asking for password causing it to shutdown

I ask anyone if they can make that happen.

#215 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-15 23:11:19

@camtaf someone on the framework community website forums suggested it was a memory leak. But it still is very weird regardless.

You can see it here:

https://upload.disroot.org/r/sebSnA6b#m … +VuzWkbXU=

I was using wine-staging and after like 3+ game of a game called SC2, suddenly everything slows to a crawl.

I logged off and lone behold, I check my ram 5.6GB is being used!

When I started the game originally of SC2 I checked and it used less then 2GB of ram.

But after the three games even after closing it, I still was having 5.6GB being used.

It was friggin weird. 

I checked with htop and found that some xorg program was using like 30+% of it. That attachment shows the main command of issue. I dunno what the hell this bug is.

Someone enlighten me.

PS, this is the computer I play starcraft 2 on and yes AMD GPU non-free blob was enabled.

#217 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-09-14 12:16:14

@quickfur I missed that post you put on the first page.  Well, there are certain folders you can download files onto.  If you use firejail to limiting specific commands, you can limit which folders you download to, which also means only shared folders like Downloads or Desktop can have files downloaded to.

I have had that situation before.   If your files have permissions of only "this user"  they are unlikely to be used unless some zero day vulnerability hits.

Which is possible, I suppose. But its not constant. That's how I feel like this is.

For the most part that is my view.  Some files might be i suppose looked at, but most not, unless using proprietary software of course.

#218 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-12 17:15:09

@bilhook does this work for you on devuan? really? I just want to do this for poweroff and reboot nothing else.

I could have sworn I tried what you suggested though. But I will try again.

I should add I need it have nopass as an option for those two things. That's where my problem is coming in.

I wan to not need a pass to make this work:

doas poweroff or doas /sbin/poweroff

and have the computer shutdown as a result.

#219 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-09-12 17:12:59

@bilhook pocket is garbage much like encrypted media extensions the DRM that pulls in widevine google codec only its actually worse cause there is zero reason for it to be enabled.

#220 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-12 00:37:30

Was solved, but now I can't remember how to do this again. Weird shit I will say...

#221 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-09-10 01:13:54

@golinux I have also gotten bored of this thread too. Did like, 10+ pages ago. I mostly just look to see if anyone like yourself is getting bored. I find this entertaining dont ask why.

#222 Re: Off-topic » Something I realized, » 2024-09-07 01:14:40

@JWM_KIT sadly, I have had to realize much of what has been said below your comment. 

So much hardware needs blobs.

I look forward though to ditching the UEFI bios that framework laptops have once they supported coreboot though. big_smile

But yeah, if you into gaming, the best way in my opinion to proceed is to keep only what you need on the gaming computer.

Files you want kept hidden, including ideas your working on that you could make money on, etc...

KEEP OFF the gaming computer!

Because UEFI is... sketchy.

Whether AMD's PSP is as bad as intel me, idk.

This being said, there is someone who decompiled PSP on github. of AMD and they seem to say it has no network stack.

I dunno if this is a good enough reason to use it or not, but it gives me some hope for future.

@alexkemp

Btw, didn't know utf-16 was only used by windows, or that utf-8 is used by 98%+ of the web. Interesting stuff

@Blackhole

Sometimes ignorance prevents us, or people I should say from seeing the truth.

I still recommend keeping any computer with blobs on it from having your more important files though.

#223 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-09-05 04:35:07

I have gratitude for many things, if I think about it long enough

One my faith,
two my anger has diminished over the years
if there is a third, it is that I begin to see traps for what they are.

Such as social media, people go on there to be validated all too often and whether they are or not, there is a risk in both directions of losing your way.

1: You become arrogant from get validation too much (positive)
2: you fall into despair from being criticized too much (negative)

My faith has been showing me these things.

although it took me a while, for me to respond and/or take it seriously.

Those are some gratitudes I have discovered recently.

It turns out, that using blobs when you don't need to might have merit.

I will admit, I always wondered why people did this when they didn't have to.

For example AMD graphics doesn't need a blob apparently.

But if you do gaming, battle.net type stuff which I have been doing on a separate computer devoted to it.

Aka, that comp is specifically used for gaming.

I apologize if I was ignorant before.

I believe I have been humbled on this matter.

I got a framework laptop you see and it doesn't work well for gaming without the amd display driver blob for graphics.

#225 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-08-25 06:27:11

Gratitude, tough to have, but priceless to have.
