i used this adapter --> link

there is no indicator, but im sure i have it correctly now
the usb device would show up either way but only when it is right side up, it shows sdc in lsblk

as i said earlier, mt-gnu expects a character special file or a remote tape drive
can i create that file with mknod or something?
i tried

mknod tape c 8 32

where 8 and 32 are MAJ and MIN from /dev/sdc
but no success

mt-gnu rewind
mt-gnu: /dev/tape: rmtopen failed: No such file or directory

ls /dev/tape
ls: cannot access '/dev/tape': No such file or director

it does not recognize it as a tape drive
i just noticed there is a jumper on the back that can be set to DS1, DS0 or DSP, it is currently on DSP

edit:

sudo mt-st -f /dev/sdc status

does nothing, at least there is no noise and no output

Any webcam that has a clamp?
Logitech C920 is a solid webcam but a bit expensive
i have a 20€ Logitech and it works fine

Dang it, it just felt wrong to leave it as it is with that bug and a syntax error in .xinitrc
New ISO is uploaded, nothing groundbraking, just some minor fixes

Download
Gitlab
Lbry

apparently there was a syntax error in .local/Scripts/update_scripts.sh
on line 73 there needs to be a " before the closing paren
here is the fix: update_scripts.sh

i dont think anyone that fell for the bloat meme has is music in *.wav format

saved
here is a similar one for screenshots, but is is not as fast as a real screenshot programm

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 1 -s "$(xdpyinfo | awk '/dimensions/ {print $2}')" -i :0.0  "$(date +Screenshot-%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S).png"

i recently found svgcleaner, it saved over 7MB in my /usr/share/icons
also if you use rust programms, you can get them significantly smaller if you build them with a new rust version and not the one from the repositry

here is the Demo Video reupload in post #47
thanks for that cups rule, Larry

as far as i remember, refracta has the non-free wifi firmware in ~/firmware.beowulf
they are not installed by default, but you can install them without internet connection
for example for the intel firmware

sudo dpkg -i ~/firmware.beowulf/firmware-iwlwifi_20190114-1_all.deb

you can boot the live environment and from there you can install with refractainstaller-gui or refractainstaller

#[ "$(pidof Xorg)" ] || main_menu
[ "$(pidof Xorg)" ] || { export WM="jwm" && startx;}

this should do the trick in case you dont want the menu

oh i haven't noticed this before
since you dont use bspwm you can just delete that file
it is only for zsh completions for that bspc command anyways so its not really needed

btw i found the solution for the login problem with palemoon
either click on the eclipsed moon icon in the bottom bar so it becomes red or remove that addon completely

the menu lives in /usr/local/bin/welcome_message.sh
but i would not put it there, it is just a little menu script that calls startx
(itself gets called in the last line of .config/zsh/.zshrc)
i guess .zprofile .xinitrc or .config/zsh/.zshrc are good places for that
(there are already some keyboard options in .xinitrc)

you dont need a cell phone connection for those, they are inteded to be used with an rtl-sdr or any other sdr device
i have not used those particular scripts very much but i actually have a lot of sdr applications installed
(rtl_433, dump1090, gqrx, gnuradio etc)

greetings

Thanks for your feedback, Larry

yes i know, but as far as i know this is specific only for this forum, everything else seems to work, at least i have not noticed it anywhere else in the past
maybe the forum admin can have a look at this
i will open a dedicated thread for this

i am not a firejail expert, but since version 2021_02 i added a custom firejail config for palemoon (and qutebrowser), because there were some issues with the default config
i guess it is okay, palemoon starts and it can only access  ~/Downloads and some other needed directories
the D-bus error is 'normal' for this distro, since there is no dbus installed, i always ignore it and the browser does its thing

i just looked up what a typeMatrix 2030 is, it looks glorious
could you eplain what "both shifts toggle" is? i never heard of that

we work differently indeed, i mostly use my ancient thinkpad with the cursed resolution of 1366x768, so i mainly use i3 in tabbed mode, where always one window is always fullscreen

maybe i should make a little video, where i give a little tour where i show some features and tricks, but im not very good doing videos,
eventually i'll get it done on the weekend

greetings
