My music workflow is the following: I'm using dynamic playlists based on last played timestamp. If a song was played, it gets a new timestamp and is removed from the playlist. Now a new song comes automatically in to the playlist where the timestamp doesn't exist or is older as x-days. That's easy to setup on strawberry and other applications. This playlist will be synced via whatever you want to your phone. In my case a SFTP service to keep it wireless. On the phone I use the same playlist with every player you want. Additional I'm using lastfm to scrobble the played music. This keeps the last played timestamp on the phone and can be synced with strawberry. I don't know if other applicants can do the same.

Sounds complicated at first but after initial setup it's a automatic process.

Can this client automatically update the installed apps? What advantages does the client have in detail compared to the standard F-Droid client?

What's new in Gnome 45?

I have connected my containers via conveyor tubes with some assemblers. The tubes and all parts are green and working. But for some reason, I can't move objects from the containers to the assembler, to disassemble them.

Do you have any ideas what could be the reason?

A similar question was raised some day's ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I'm searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game's and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.

Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that's important...

Is it possible to paint only parts of block's? For example there are Reinforced Conveyor Tubes with some sort of protection around the tube. They seem to seel a room airtight.

Is it possible to paint the tube in yellow/orange and the protecting outer parts in the color of the walls? Every time I try to repaint this block's, the whole block get the new color.

Feel free to try it by yourself. Nothing easier than that. Reboot your phone and try to find it via Find My Device or ring it, without to enter your password before. It will not work.

BTW: it doesn't make sense to exclude security and privacy related things from encryption. Otherwise there would be an unusually high risk to compromise this sort of data.

I wonder the same, some time ago but for different reasons. If I have to buy a gaming laptop, what should I choose? Intel CPU and Nvidia was my best friend on Windows, but on Linux I'm totally unsure. I think AMD does a better job for gaming under Linux, but I have absolutely no idea if that's true.

I'm on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can't create new directory's on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop.

I can only switch to root, create the folder and change ownership of this new folder to the currently logged in user.

Is there any way to automount the USB hdd/stick with ownership of the currently logged in user?

Ohhh nice. I will try that one. Have used only a simple battle mixer and the good old sl-1200 mk2 for several years. Maybe it's time to try some digital mixer. Nice that there is something for Linux... Thx for the link.

Since some updates, the background image on the GDM login screen is only displayed for a blink second and then disappears for a complete black background.

Is there any fix or workaround available?

[-] laskobar@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

The depth is changing constantly, because new subdirs are created and removed during the day and/or upload/sync process. Thats why the script is walking across the complete directory structure every time. But the dummy file is a nice suggestion. In this case, I can monitor only the dummy file and trigger the script on dummy file change. Good idea.

Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don't know how to do that. Any ideas?

Additionally, the triggered service unit should be delayed for some time. Background is, that I automatically upload sometimes more than one file in a batch. So I will give the script triggered by the service unit the chance, to wait until the upload of all files is finished, so that I can work with all the new files with one script call, instead of multiple calls for every file. Is that possible?

Its the cable. After changing the cable between the Switch and the Router, i got iperf test up to: 0.0000-10.0416 sec 1.09 GBytes 932 Mbits/sec.

We had some workmen in the house a few weeks ago. Apparently, they damaged the cable. The test cable was unfortunately too short for permanent use, but it was enough for testing. I now get an upload of 65MB/sec on an average. This is about the same as the limit I had already determined through hdparm on the RPi4. I don't know, why hdparm is faster directly on the laptop, maybe the USB Controller is not the best on the RPi4. But anything is better than 11MB/sec.

The situation is different when the laptop is only connected to the network via WiFi. Here I get a maximum of 28MB/sec. I have not yet found a solution how this could be faster.

The speed looks fine for me on the Laptop itself:

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   28080 MB in  1.98 seconds = 14161.28 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 448 MB in  3.02 seconds = 148.55 MB/sec
 /dev/sda:
 Timing O_DIRECT cached reads:   604 MB in  2.00 seconds = 301.42 MB/sec
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 454 MB in  3.02 seconds = 150.36 MB/sec

On the Pi itself i get:

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   1974 MB in  2.00 seconds = 988.54 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 196 MB in  3.02 seconds =  64.91 MB/sec
/dev/sda:
 Timing O_DIRECT cached reads:   122 MB in  2.01 seconds =  60.64 MB/sec
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 194 MB in  3.03 seconds =  64.03 MB/sec

This also much above the speed, i got, when i transfer files via SFTP/SCP.

I have tested also iperf and got: 0.0000-10.2100 sec 113 MBytes 93.1 Mbits/sec

It seems like this is really somewhere limiting to 100MBit.

This is my first time setting up a Raspberry Pi4 (8GB). Before, I have used a RPi 3B for some other things. From what i have read is, that IO performance should be a lot better on the RPi4, as with the RPi3B. But i get the same speeds as before. I have setup the following:

  • Installed Raspbian Lite (64bit)
  • enabled SFTP/SSH
  • Setup a user for SFTP only access, with home on a connected USB HDD
  • the USB HDD is connected to one of the USB3 ports
  • This is the same setup on the RPi3B

When I now try to start to copy a 2GB file from my Laptop via LAN, i get in both cases a max of 11.6 or 11,5MB/s. But according to articles like this (https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/raspberry-pi-25-gbps-16-tb-omv-nas-setup-and-performance), it should be much faster. Is there some secret, or whats the problem?

BTW: The Laptop runs on Manjaro Linux, where i start the transfer, there is no Windows available.

How can I actually see how full the hydrogen tank is? This is always displayed with 0/total quantity in the station's inventory. Apparently it seems to be full, because hydrogen is only produced again (the ice decreases) when I open a room into space. Is this just a bug or is it intentional? Or is there a possibility to display the filling level in percent or absolute?

Hi there. Since I removed my Reddit account, I'm really happy to find a new home here. Hopefully beginner questions are allowed here.

Currently I'm trying to reliable get SE to work on Manjaro Linux. But this seems to be not an easy task. Currently it's the only game, I have tried, which tends to crash on Linux.

[-] laskobar@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but there is no clear instructions. Only some vague recommendations. None of them is working at least for me

I have played that game a lot in my old days on Windows, but under Linux I have a lot of crashes. I have installed the game via Steam and it starts in to mainmenu. But mostly when I try to start a game, it crashes. After reading some tips, I have changed proton to GE-Proton 8.3. with that crashes occur a little bit rarer, but to often. I have also tried GE-Proton 8.4 or Proton Experimental, but without luck.

Is someone here with some tips?

BTW: im on Manjaro

[-] laskobar@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Many thx. In that case, the basic version is fine for me. Automatic updates are a thing I have waiting since a loooooong time. I try to test that function immediately.

It seems there are 2 official F-Droid clients available. org.fdroid.fdroid and org.fdroid.basic. Can someone please tell me what's the difference?

[-] laskobar@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

My biggest issue with Wayland is, that KeePassXC can't read the title of windows. This completely make Autotype useless.

Until this is solved, it's a absolute no-go for me.

Since the last update, there is a issue with GDM, where a set wallpaper disappear after a small second.

Is there some fix for this available?
