gtranslator: a translation (po file) editor for GNOME with a very confusing name
  • I think Google should rename their company and products to not be confused with Gnome.

  • Is it just me or do you guys miss these type of skeuomorphic icons?
  • Sometimes I think that I miss skeuomorphism, but then I realize it's not the skeuomorphism that I miss, but my childhood and days when the world was much simpler.

    Would I like to bring back skeuomorphic UIs? Yes.

    Heh, let them try.

  • Compatibility is the only real issue anymore (opinion/discussion)
  • Slightly off topic but after years of using CorelDraw it's so hard to pick up inkscape.

    I use Linux on my home laptop now and try to use FOSS software on work laptop (it's still Windows 10), and I try to stay with Inkscape as much as possible, but some things are just muscle memory at this point and some workflows can't be replicated with Inkscape.

    It's not hard to change software, it's hard to chage habits and workflows.

    Other than that, Inkscape is great software, only missing a few features I wish were there, and having many more features that CorelDraw doesn't have.

  • I think Fossify calendar is best open source (offline) android came application
  • Also, in MIUI/HyperOS it's simply not possible to have gesture navigation and a third party launcher.

  • Tinkering and Stability
  • My thought as well. Maybe sync was in default configuration or I just copy pasted it without reading.

    Long story short, I have no idea if system user passwords and sama user passwords are the same thing, how to set them up (if they are not the same), or how to make samba use same user accounts and passwords (so that I don't have to remember one more password). So I just gave up.

    I was trying to do everything according to arch wiki, but either samba is overcomplicated for no reason, or the article is just not written well.

  • Tinkering and Stability
  • Just my experience, I was unable to log in after trying to add samba to my installation. Had to boot into live usb and reset my password.

    Maube I'm just bad and it's not samba.

  • Is there an android compatible firefox addon that can copy all open tab URLs to clipboard or export to a file and load back?

    Didn't want to make title too long, sorry. By load back I mean read from clipboard or from a file or have an input box to paste from clipboard a lost of URLs and open each in a tab.

    On my phone (it's a MIUI device) firefox sometimes acts weird, I can see URL in a tab but page looks empty. I can copy the URL manually, close the tab, open a new one, but this can be annoying if I have many tabs and this also changes the tab order.

    Also, no, I can't just close firefox and open it again, as I mostly use firefox in private mode.

    I just want to copy all open URLs, restart firefox, and open all my tabs in private mode again in the same order by pasting URLs back.

    Also, android aften kills my firefox when it's in the backgroind without any warning.

    Last time I searched, I couldn't find any such addons, but it's possible that I used wrong keywords.

    Help needed: State of graphics stack on linux for Gaming (OPTIMUS laptop)

    This probably was asked countless times already, but given the amount of possible combinations of all the hardware and software, this is probably not surprising.

    So, I do have some experience with linux. I ssh into my ubuntu server a lot, I do many bash/terminal tricks, so can't really call myself a newbie in Linux. However, for gaming I would use Windows for as long as I remember myself. With the release of KDE Plasma 6 and Vulkan support getting better, I was thinking about giving it a go, but I'm stuck.

    When launching a game that natively supports linux (Dota 2) from Steam, pretty much nothing happens. I see in terminal that there are some errors, but archwiki states that this is normal:

    > Wrong ELF class

    > If you see this message in Steam's console output

    > ERROR: ld.so: object '~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

    > you can safely ignore it. It is not really any error: Steam includes both 64- and 32-bit versions of some libraries and only one version will load successfully. This "error" is displayed even when Steam (and the in-game overlay) is working perfectly.

    Other than that I see no errors or anything.

    I'm running Arch linux with KDE Plasma 6.0.1, with default Wayland session. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 with NVIDIA GPU and I guess also Intel integrated video card. Here are the details:

    spoiler

    Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12500H Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics Manufacturer: Acer Product Name: Nitro AN515-58 System Version: V1.13

    I have no idea honestly about which driver I have installed, but I did install nvidia package. I'm not sure if it's being used. I also don't know anything about Mesa. Also, this is from my Info Center:

    ``` KWin Support Information: The following information should be used when requesting support on e.g. https://discuss.kde.org. It provides information about the currently running instance, which options are used, what OpenGL driver and which effects are running. Please post the information provided underneath this introductory text to a paste bin service like https://paste.kde.org instead of pasting into support threads.

    ==========================

    Version ======= KWin version: 6.0.1 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Qt compile version: 6.6.2 XCB compile version: 1.16.1

    Operation Mode: Xwayland

    Build Options ============= KWIN_BUILD_DECORATIONS: yes KWIN_BUILD_TABBOX: yes KWIN_BUILD_ACTIVITIES: yes HAVE_X11_XCB: yes HAVE_GLX: yes

    X11 === Vendor: The X.Org Foundation Vendor Release: 12302004 Protocol Version/Revision: 11/0 SHAPE: yes; Version: 0x11 RANDR: yes; Version: 0x14 DAMAGE: yes; Version: 0x11 Composite: yes; Version: 0x4 RENDER: yes; Version: 0xb XFIXES: yes; Version: 0x50 SYNC: yes; Version: 0x31 GLX: yes; Version: 0x0

    Output backend ============== Name: DRM Atomic Mode Setting on GPU 0: true ```

    I don't even know what is Xwayland and why I have it installed, probably some dependency of KDE.

    At this point I'm not even sure what I'm using (is it pure wayland, or x11, or some hybrid of using both), if I have correct GPU drivers (do I have correct drivers for just one of the two video cards, for both, or none at all), if my NVIDIA GPU is even working, if it's being used to run a game or not, and if I have all necessary packages to run Vulkan.

    At this point, how do I troubleshoot all of this mess?
