Linux Change brightness in a click

Heres my my 0.8_Brightness.sh that I launch from meny with  "in terminal" checked

#!/bin/bash

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --brightness 0.8

xrandr --output DP-4 --brightness 0.8

xrandr --output DP-2 --brightness 0.8

xrandr --output DP-0 --brightness 0.8

xrandr                    :you need this one

--output                :I would have guessed set or something but .. well

HDMI or DP        :Use xrandr -q

--brightness            :this makes sense

Value of 1 is normal 0.5 is really dark

For easy restore to normal, just create another file with --brightness 1

#!/bin/bash

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --brightness 1

xrandr --output DP-4 --brightness 1

xrandr --output DP-2 --brightness 1

xrandr --output DP-0 --brightness 1

Don't forget to make the files executable

 

Linux Mint Cinnamon Pinned apps. Duplicate Cinnamon panel

I wanted the same panel in Linux on all my monitors and found that the info/config is a bit spread out.

If you want to duplicate your pinned apps you will find the json files in

http://in/home/Your-USERNAME/.config/cinnamon/spices/grouped-window-list@cinnamon.org/

 

I used

dconf dump /org/cinnamon/ > panel-config.txt

to duplicate my panels (remember that all id's must be unique)* in order to populate /grouped-window-list@cinnamon.org/ with json-files and then replaced the new files with the file from the original panel.

 

Use 

dconf load /org/cinnamon/ > panel-config.txt

to write your changes.

 

* I pasted the panel bit found in between "enabled-applets=[" and  "] enabled-desklets" into calc, quadruplicated  the text and used the rolling number (pull down) feature to ensure unique numbers. Exported and cleaned it up for pasting.

 

 

Docker on Linux mint 22

The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ Release' does not have a Release file.

Is

 echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

not working?
 

If you are running Linux Mint 22 use this instead
 

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu noble stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

$(dpkg --architecture)  :you can leave this if you don't know that you have amd64

$(lsb_release -cs) :will return wilma or another incorrect value. Mint 22 is based on Noble Numbat so we be better off writing out noble.

If you use another version of Mint, check corresponding Ubuntu version and check what it corresponds to in the repo https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/
"Noble Numbat" is located in the catalog "noble"

Little Red Dot

 
I saw this little angry red dot next to the clock earlier today.
I clicked on it, it said "info" and Remove 'XApp Status Applet'
Selecting info only showed me info regarding XApp Status Applet.


 

It turns out it was the built-in screen recorder.


I use Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, and just as in other Linux desktop environments, you have a built-in screen recorder that activates/deactivates with CTRL ALT Shift R.
IT saves the file in /Videos. In Cinnamon, the filename starts with cinnamon and can look something like this cinnamon-2024-10-12T125401+0200.webm



Shortcut Key Command: Activate/Deactivate CTRL ALT Shift R
Save file location: ~/videos

Disable Can't keep up! Is the server overloaded?

Just a reminder for myself.

I get the error in the Minecraft log, and so far the only problem is the error message itself.

Plus, I keep forgetting where to shut it off.

In Paper MC, Bukkit, Spigot, and perhaps others, the log message can be silenced in bukkit.yml. Just change

 

warn-on-overload: true

to

warn-on-overload: false

Convert vcf to csv

 

I needed to copy my address book from Roundcube to outlook online office
Roundcube gave me a .vcf file and outlook refused to handle it.

The easiest way to convert for was for me to import the .vcf into Thunderbird:
Tools - Import > Address Books > vCard file

And then export it:
Tools - Export > Comma Separated
