Damn yeah. Finally fixed the pin entry program to actually use the secret service on #linux#kde#plasma and to stop asking all the time for the password for signing commits.
It seems a somewhat recent breaking change, since this worked before. Anyway, someone had already written about it on #archlinux wiki.
Tldr: after setting the pin entry program on gpg-agent config to use the qt version, we need to change the gpg-agent service to have XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP as anything but "kde".
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
@nobodyinperson I've had the same experience recently after launching a new command line tool I created for GNOME desktops.
Having that hands-on experience with #archlinux PKGBUILDs definitely makes putting together a #nix#flake or standard derivation a lot more straightforward and easy to understand for sure! 🙌👌 :arch: :nixos:
oct-git focuses exclusively on ergonomic use with OpenPGP card-based signing keys
It is designed to be easy to set up, standalone (no long running processes), and entirely hands-off to use (no repeated PIN entry required, by default). It comes with desktop notifications for touch confirmation (if required)
Here's a Flatpak story: The other day, my best friend told me that he had switched to Linux! Arch Linux with KDE Plasma, a noble choice in my opinion. He's a smart guy, but he was having some issues that he couldn't figure out: Firefox' maximise and minimise buttons were missing, drag and drop from archives wasn't working, his selected theme wasn't applied everywhere, and many other small issues I can't remember now.
I tried reproducing his issues on my machine, but everything worked fine for me. We were confused. Is there missing libraries? We went through packages to find out what my system had that his didn't. It was weird, everything was kinda working, but the devil was always in the details, for every single app.
And then we found it: All those applications he had issues with were Flatpaks! He simply didn't pay attention when installing them through the Discover store. He didn't even know what Flatpak meant.
I helped him remove Flatpak from his system and install the system packages instead, and all issues were gone.
Man, Flatpaks suck. How does anyone prefer Flatpaks over system packages? How does anyone think this was a good idea? Stop trying to invent new things to solve old problems and instead go back and fix the problems.
Containers, Flatpak, Immutable distros, it's all wasted effort. There is no magical solution that will solve all our problems. The only way to solve all problems is by solving each problem individually one by one. And that is exactly what countless distribution and package maintainers are doing on your behalf every single day.
Vous aussi, sur #Linux, vous avez eu droit à une MAJ de #Vivaldi en 6.7.3329.21 (alors que pour le canal Stable, le site officiel et la version Windows disent toujours que la dernière version en date sur ce canal est la .17) ? Ou ce fut propre à #ArchLinux ? 🤔
Someone pointed out that rpm strips packages faster than pacman so a little bit of xargs hacking later and I've shaved off 1.5/2 seconds of the pacman package building.
Oh damn, caught a nasty one. Was trying to use chromium for something but audio was not playing at all, no errors, just clicking play on things like r-a-d.io gave a "fuck you"...
Was checking if it was wayland or something like that that broke it... (And no, it doesn't open in #wayland, transparent window with the beautiful mouse dragging effect on the screen), but it was nothing related to it...
It seems that the problem was the #plasma integration extension that hijacks things and broke!!
On update to latest #fwupd on #archlinux new error message at the daemon start: "Failed to load daemon: syscall filtering is configured but not working"
Should you accept the mission, your adventure in the new quest shall be amazing ! Enjoy.
One of my sons—who is an avid PC gamer—is letting me use a previous-generation gaming rig he built to see if I want to buy it for use as my primary #Linux workstation. It’s a pretty decent box (Intel Core i7-12700K CPU, NVIDIA GPU, M.2 NVMe, 32GB of RAM).
I’m divided WRT which distribution & DE to install. I used #Fedora w/ #GNOME for quite a while, but I’ve also recently been using #ArchLinux w/ #KDE. Is #Ubuntu easier to get NVIDIA drivers working? (I honestly don’t know.)
Pour ce dernier week-end des vacances de printemps (pour la zone C, alors qu’elles commencent ce soir pour la zone B), restons dans un thème on ne peut plus de saison avec nos amies de “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vivid” en kimonos ! :3 🌸
