the oneliner

user@host ~ % sleep 60 ; echo "\a"  & 

should do, whatever you need
60 is time in seconds so put 3600 for an hour

with the & you can close the terminal

#2 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » mate desktop pdf opens in terminal with vim » 2024-07-16 08:07:28

Thanks for answering.
When opening with atril , the file opens and displays properly. This is not the problem.

file 240703_Importstrategie-2.pdf
240703_Importstrategie-2.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7, 38 pages

The problem is in the calling structure of the mate menu tree, where a flawed command reference is stored somewhere.
See the 'top' listing.
mate-panel invokes vim over a terminal instead of invoking atril.

Where does mate panel store its preferences?

From Desktop:
About Mate
mate 1.26.0
about Atril
Atril is a simple multi-page document viewer.   1.26.0

When I download or extract a pdf from a mail, it shows up in "latest documents". Then I click on It , and a terminal with vi opens it.

%PDF-1.7^M and so on.

System /Personal/ Preferred Applications /Büro (office) states atril for Documents . whatever documents means .

~/.config/mimeapps.list Line 21 :
application/pdf=atril.desktop
cd /usr/share/mime/application 
#  grep "pdf" *

What points the application wrongly to vi ?

Once done run

update-rc.d /etc/init.d/wg0 defaults

server listens at ipv4 and ipv6 :51820
At the moment pinging is possible.
Once this solution has survived some testing, I will add a logrotate file.

If someone has the friendliness to file a bug against the package with this solution, or to complete the missing init-script package ?
(I have problems with reportbug.)

Hi
I tested this script sysd2v.sh and it failed.

YMMV.

In devuan, with eudev you get the old names....

@fsmithred
Thanks for the good explanation.

a)
How can I find out, what the interfaces will actually be called without modifying the _cmdline_?
b)
and then modify the relevant files  (sed ... s/eth0/enpxxx/ somefile)
c)
If I could give it a try modifying / restarting without loosing connection to my remotes without screen?

#7 Re: Other Issues » How does LTSP work ? » 2024-04-03 10:49:29

I worked on such an X installation back in 1987,88. Simple graphics, small network traffic. , low res pixel-centric graphics with no rendering necessary.
Drawing electrical schematics.

What do i miss ?

about one week of work , including the learning curve.

I did that once under S.u.S.E. (<=7.3, < Y2003) . It included compiling a stripped partly non modular kernel for the clients, which had the network card driver compiled in. Once that works, it can pull other modules from the server. All what was not needed, was not compiled to obtain the smallest kernel.
And the distributed X11 server / xclient architecture is interesting .
Nice if you have many many many clients , no distributed maintenance.
I dont know, how this is today with wayland. see here :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_( … land_and_X
Lots of rendering today, lots of network traffic today, if distributed and wrong distribution of graphic load..
Power up the client :
PXE
DHCP,
TFTP,
NFS,
(DNS) and only then LTSP ,
and then X11 client server.
And then login on the Thin client

#10 Re: Off-topic » What do you think about electric cars? » 2024-03-06 12:20:49

Just continuing to shout "everyone needs to get on a bike"

Didi anyone say that?
Just for me: I did  30000km in 6 years with my car, 5000 km / year (3000miles) and most of the time it is standing around for a week or so. A waste of resources.
I have 6 options : own car, train, bus, bicycle and walking and an electric rental car here in the village.
No car is MY economic solution.
I choose to live here because of the train station and not in the next village w/o train station.
Why should I keep a car (fuel or electric)?

Those with a huge toolbox and a selection of spare parts are a different task. They might have an electric workshop truck - on wheels .

Electric cars come with high capital cost and it is mandatory , that they roll all the time. Probably rental is the solution .
The old school "living far from dense population" becomes more and more uneconomic, when cheap fuel disappears.
And transport without modal change is also a thing of the past, when transport chains can be organized by internet.

1. there is a lot of loading and unloading modules, which may also explain complained slowness . Can this be avoided?

2. How to get xrandr working ? xrandr conflicts with xinerama. But i need xinerama for both monitors at the moment.

#12 Re: Off-topic » What do you think about electric cars? » 2024-03-06 09:10:11

I sold my car last week.
I have a public transport ticket and a bicycle and two legs still in good order.
At least here it is possible to have no car and still come around. 
NO Car is better than ANY Car from the environmental view.
and Railway is better than Street traffic from the environmental view.
and no traffic is better than any traffic from the environmental view.
Use your choices.

Electric traction

has been around since 1879 on the railway with now only 20% of the energy consumption of the trucking industry.

Something to do with docker , which I recently installed?

I use dnsmasq and these blacklists/blocklists
https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists
and my own blacklist . mostly FAGAM .
Also all sites, which refuse adblockers, will be added and not be accessed anymore.
This avoids a lot of traffic beginning with outgoing DNS inquiries. Saves time

If the systemd-sh*t would work flawlessly and transparent, nobody cared.
But it was a substantial and sensible deterioration of flawlessness, maintainability and transparency.

It remains qemu.

I installed xen-system-amd64 , but system became unbootable with dead displays. Deleted xen again.
Then I had to reinstall grub-efi-amd-64, which was deleted from the xen-install.
I keep on trying.

Replies: 0

My internet service provider gives me a new ipv6 range /56 about every 8 weeks.
Then I stumble over this

ssh user@some other host
Warning: the ECDSA host key for ' some other host' differs from the key for the IP address '1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888'

Offending key for IP in /home/xx/.ssh/known_hosts:8
Matching host key in /home/xx/.ssh/known_hosts:11
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

I do not want keys based on IPv6 . Each host in my intranet has a proper name chez moi.
That should be the identification for the keys
How can I suppress this seemingly automatic host key generation from varying references?

I have now scanned my home dir and uncovered a few infected applications hiding in wine.

Definitely worth using on Linux, as it is not as safe as it once was.

It is not the linux which is less safe, it is the w(h)ine install in your $HOME, which is unsafe.

Stop the wine application which offers all the uncertainties of windows.
Stick in an infected usb stick and wine will begin to work and distribute the virus inside your wine-home. I have seen this live on my Laptop.
I used to

apt remove wine*

and then have the directories scanned for viruses.
I Used antivir for that, still existing but it is no more in the distros I know
Have ever since 10 years not used any virus checking or w(h)ine anymore.
