Hey all, got another question. Is Lutris only managed through the desktop mode or is there some sort of plugin you can use to manage it?

I use Lutris on my desktop and know about the option to add a Steam shortcut. Anything else SD specific that needs to be done?

Cheers

Hey all, just wondering how the battery life is after you've had it for a while? I'm getting one soon and wondered if it would have a noticeable impact on the battery if it was on a dock for most of the time.

Cheers

Hi all,

I'm going through and giving a bunch if different GUI frameworks a go and have tried iced, egui and Slint. Iced was by far the easiest to get started and just seemed fairly logical for layouts, Slint was pretty cool - VSCode actually has like a wysiwyg-editor that allows you to drag components around etc.

Unfortunately I'm having issues getting breakpoints to work when using VSCode, Tauri, plus a Rust frontend (yew, dioxus, etc). I think its because what is compiled isn't where my actual code exists? If I use a JavaScript frontend it hits breakpoints fine, but that's not what I'm wanting to use at the moment.

Hi all, I tried creating a Steam shortcut through lutris but my controller isn't detected -I'm trying to play it via Steam Link.

Normal Steam games appear to work fine, and from everything I've seen online it should just work.

Hey all,

Just thought I'd share my kinda unattended installer. I know there are a number of scripts out there, but thought others might be interested in this style of installer.

Boot into the official Arch Linux ISO then download the script.

There is an installation config file where you choose which bundles you want installed, and things like the root drive and username etc.

The install will ask for the root password and your user password and that should be it. The rest of the script will go through and automatically install all your selected packages (plus further config if needed), do the regional stuff for timezones etc

I haven't updated the script in a while and it hasn't been tested by many others so your mileage may vary. But here it is, warts and all.

Hey all, not sure how I managed this, but over the years I somehow managed to configure different paths which are listed in kf5-config. The for instance the cache path should be /home/matt/.cache, but kf5-config lists it in /mnt/data/matt/home/.cache. I'm sure this was intentional at one point but now i'm trying to fix up my partitions.

So my question is - how do I change the paths listed in kf5-config to where it should be on the root partition (/home/matt/...)?. I'll move the actual data from where it is onto the root partition, I just need to know how to change that paths are configured in kf5-config.

Cheers

kf5-config paths:

cache:
/mnt/data/matt/home/.cache/
config:
/mnt/data/matt/home/.config/:/mnt/data/matt/home/.config/kdedefaults/:/etc/xdg/
data:
/mnt/data/matt/home/.local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/local/share/
emoticons:
/mnt/data/matt/home/.local/share/emoticons/:/usr/share/emoticons/
exe:
/usr/lib/libexec/:/usr/bin/
html:
/mnt/data/matt/home/.local/share/doc/HTML/:/usr/share/doc/HTML/

etc.. etc..

Edit: I just wanted to add that these paths are different from what is listed in qtpaths:

$ qtpaths --paths CacheLocation
/home/matt/.cache/<APPNAME>
$ qtpaths --paths ConfigLocation
/home/matt/.config:/home/matt/.config/kdedefaults:/etc/xdg

Solved:

Turns out that it expands symlinked directories.

Hey all, I have a Samsung S22 and got an update this morning which has forced on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Disabling the new circle to search didn't make a difference.

I heard it can be disabled through GoodLock but I'm not installing that. Maybe it can be disabled via adb or something?

Cheers

Hey all I'm looking for recommendations for a video doorbell that doesn't need an internet connection.

Preferably something that is WiFi and would work with Frigate?

Hey all,

I'm going to be moving on to my next project and have been thinking about doing an email client. I like Thunderbird, but the search is terrible, and I also want to tackle something that needs pretty high performance for processing emails etc.

Any suggestions or considerations I should think about?

I'll focus on just getting SMTP going in a CLI then I'll introduce some sort of frontend using Qt.

Since the update, if I snap Firefox to the top the mouse seems to be offset a number of pixels compared to where the actual cursor is. It also affects the content in sites, not just stuff in Firefox.

Edit: Looks like it's not just when it's snapped, but as soon as it passes about the top 90% of the screen. Just took a screenshot, where you can see the cursor is hovering over Other Bookmarks, but it's activating the menu above it.

Hey all,

Another update/release of urChat (Java IRC Client). This release had a lot of focus on general usability and backend cleaning up. Performance for updating the styles has been improved and i've also moved some of the major panels into their own classes to make it easier to add more options/panels at a future date. In doing this, there is less effort needed when adding more options as the this is all handled when using addToPanel() method:

For Instance, i've added an option to toggle the tab icons, after creating the new JCheckBox showTabIcons, all that's needed to have it save to the preferences correctly is:

URPanels.addToPanel(this, showTabIcons, null, Placement.DEFAULT, null, Constants.KEY_SHOW_TAB_ICON);

This adds it to the current JPanel (In this case the InterfacePanel), places it after the previous Component and then associates that with the KEY_SHOW_TAB_ICON Preference key. Much easier than before.

Support for HTTP proxies has also been added, so we've now got both SOCKS and HTTP proxies as an option. There is now better disconnection handling, it will automatically reconnect if it disconnects unexpectedly (after some time), and it will also rejoin all of the previously connected channels.

I've also added in LOG4J2 for logging. At the moment there is a log4j2.xml config file included in the release JAR, but eventually i'll allow custom config files. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it yet as it increased my release JAR file size from 247 KB to 2.47 MB which is quite a significant jump.

Anyway, thanks everybody for your support and interest. Feel free to join the #urchat channel at irc.libera.chat to discuss improvements etc. :) Onwards and upwards to version 0.7.0!
