But that's out of the scope for Docker here.

Docker already does insane things in behind that are hard to understand...

But hey, who am I to say this in a systemd world...

Still, you can totally start systemd or runit or whatever inside a container, yes.

And yes, there are some applicable reasons I could think of.

FWIW, I abuse i3blocks as a scheduler on my desktops.

E.g. for anything I need more fine granular control than "every 60 seconds"

It's quite annoying because I find nothing similar in Gnome, KDE, Xfce or any other desktop for that matter.

For example runs neofetch every 10sec to update a ~/.neofetch.output file which gets displayed every time I open a new shell, etc.

The actual reason why this is running Debian is that I had this box lying around in my home while one of my X220's died so I had to replace it and that X62 works quite nice as a replacement for my prior X220 Docking station "workstation / desktop computer".

And it was still running Sid. Shoot me.

:)

I also happened to find this nicely customized i3 setup on it after half a year or so and now am just using that

I have to admit not knowing where my Fedora laptop is right now :(

But it pings \o/

Awesome!

it should be preinstalled

Thanks @hyp3rbor3ax

use kvm

Once again thank you

It's installed by default. Python 3.6 is the current version.

Thanks!!! I was having a hard time on Windows. So I choose to go this way , Fedora

On linux you have the much more capable kvm on board to begin with. On fedora gnome-boxes is an easy management ui for it, while virt-manager allows you to tweak everything.

Speaking of emacs, I installed it yesterday. It doesn't have syntax highlighting, auto fill brackets and stuff and code completion. How to enable these options in emacs?. The only + I see in it at the very moment is indentation. It's perfect. I wrote a C code on Sublime Text and then open it again on emacs and indented it nicely. Then added comments. ?

http://spacemacs.org/ git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d Vanilla emacs is just lisp interpreter, you need plugins to make it an IDE :D

there is syntax-highlighting, you just need to name the file .c or .cpp. for autocompletion you need the company-package, for fill brackets the smartparens package, for linting the flycheck-package and as basis you must choose between irony (libclang), lsp (clangd, cquery, ccls)

Yes, Windows is not a good platform for development...

Hello folks, I have this issue: I changed the SDDM theme and now the session won't start, it doesn't show any kind login window or anything, just a cursor and a black screen. The cursos moves but the keyboard seems unresponsive. How can I login through console (skipping the GUI login)? Alternatively, how can I sort using a live ISO? Is there any other way to fix this? @Wolfshappen ? Thanks in advance!

During the boot, when the kernels are shown, you press the e key, that will allow you to edit the boot parameters. Find the line starting with the linux word, move the cursor to the end of that line. Add an space and then add a 3. Press Ctrl + x so save changes and continue the boot process. That will switch the run level from 5 to 3, which means it will boot in console mode just one time.

Another option is to press Ctrl + Alt + F3 to switch to a free tty.

From a text based session I would try to reinstall sddm: su -c 'dnf reinstall sddm'

Yes, I tried this but it didn’t work. Keyboard seems unresponsive.

Try from the GRUB menu then. That should work.

Oh. I don’t think it needs to be reinstalled, just changed the default theme.

Try from the GRUB menu then. That should work.

I will, thanks.

Here is an example of the GRUB to run level 3 thing: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2012/howto-change-runlevel-on-grub2/

I have never used KDE or changed the default sddm theme, so I don't have any idea of which files did you add, where did you add it, or where does settings are stored. I bet those settings only affect one user, so from the console session you could add a new user and work from there in a more comfy way.

Also consider asking on the KDE telegram group, sure there are more KDE users that might know about this and were does settings are stored so you can revert them.

Anywhere in that line?

No, because it’s the login screen, it affects everyone.

Which theme did you changed to btw?

“Chill” It has some nice transparency. The default from Fedora is quite dull, but I didn’t find any other good looking.

Oh chili(nixos theme)

Yeah, that one

That theme is good I use it.

Well, it’s not working for me. ?

Do you have grub menu?

During boot?

Choose the "rescue" entry

Anywhere in that line?

At the very end of the line.

Do you have grub menu?

Yes, I have. Okay. I’ll try.

At the very end of the line.

Can I switch to graphic desktop once I logged in?

This can also be done if rescue entry fails.

Can I switch to graphic desktop once I logged in?

Yes. That will be temporary

Can I switch to graphic desktop once I logged in?

If you are already logued in console mode, I would try to install another desktop manager: su -c 'dnf install lightdm-qt' Then set sddm as disable: su -c 'systemct disable sddm.service' Finally enable lightdm.service: su -c 'systemctl enable lightdm.service'

It's not LightDM, it's SDDM that is KDE default.

Anyway, I sorted it. Would you like to know how?

You asked about switching it...

The theme

Anyway, I sorted it. Would you like to know how?

Yes.

Not the whole program.

Yes.

Booted a live KDE Spin and searched through the system files (the installed system) from it. In the SDDM configuration file (/etc/sddm.conf) I changed 'chili' for 'simple', that it's another theme I have installed. Saved and rebooted.

Voilá! I'm in KDE again.

Interesting side note, Dolphin has single-click by default in the live ISO, so "something" changes with the updates that leaves it as double-click. I certainly did nothing to change it.

I tried booting from rescue mode but it didn't work either.

ERROR: S client not available

You could try creating a brand new user and see if it affects new users too, or just yours.

Now think of this: You don't have a spare computer, a mobile phone, or a Live USB... https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2012/howto-change-runlevel-on-grub2/ Knowing this trick would have saved you.

Interesting. The Dolphin issue is definitely a user settings thing, but I couldn't find out which exactly was the setting as everything seemed to be correct. So I changed single to double click in Desktop behaviour and applied. And then moments later, I changed it again to single click and applied. And now Dolphin is working in the same way as Plasma does. But dang it if I know the reason!

Ah. I see where.

Why there's a lower dash after the 3 ?

Ah. I see where.

They line could appear kind of truncated.

Do you prefer single click over double click?

Why there's a lower dash after the 3 ?

the blinking block I think, like in the terminal but a lower dash instead of a block.

Single click.

Yes, it can lead to confusion.

Single click.

Yeah. It's better.

Yes, it can lead to confusion.

Specially because I never touch the GRUB. I did in the past and ended with unusable systems so I'm very careful about it. I don't mingle with it unless there is no other choice.

Hello Guys

Anybody from UK ?

I woul like to know about Events

Thanks

Anybody from UK ?

Where exactly in the UK? I'm here BTW, hello.

Oh, okay. I'm a bit further to the north. @blackbusstop But there are people living in London here in the group.

If I'm not mistaken.

Anyone using 2bwm on fedora? I am experiencing random crashes

Good

Good

wut

London : )

Oh, ok

London and Belfast always have IT events. Not necessarily Linux events thought.

Thank you very much @Kohane . I hope see you in those events when you go

There is a rescue mode option every time you boot up. You can login with commnd line then change the file
