A server that corrupted data after a bit of use have had me running loops around faulty... everythings for some time now.
Today it zapped me.
I bring my full body chainmail for tomorrows bug hunt.
Side note; Walk around holding on to one end of a voltmeter, and poke things with the other end. Fire extinguishers of all things surprised me a bit.
I wanted to update my panel apps on my other monitors since my goto apps have changed a bit. This wasn't all that straight forward on Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon so I did what I do best, fetch a coffee and forget stuff.
After I forgot that I had already written about duplicating your panel on multiple monitors or simply change them all from one place earlier, I instead found a bunch of seemingly random numbered json files in
/home/your_username/.config/cinnamon/spices/grouped-window-list@cinnamon.org/
In there was one file for every monitor, plus 3 I didn't bother to investigate closer, because it's Tuesday after all and I needed to fetch a coffee.
Those, in my case 4 files had this section in them:
"pinned-apps": {
"type": "generic",
"default": [
"nemo.desktop",
"firefox.desktop",
"org.gnome.Terminal.desktop"
],
"value": [
"nemo.desktop",
"firefox.desktop",
"org.mozilla.firefox.desktop:flatpak",
"org.gnome.Terminal.desktop",
"one.ablaze.floorp.desktop:flatpak",
"LibreWolf.desktop:flatpak",
"Ásbrú Connection Manage.desktop",
"signal-desktop.desktop",
"rustdesk.desktop",
"com.github.wwmm.easyeffects.desktop:flatpak",
"org.kde.kdeconnect.app.desktop",
]
They had some other stuff as well, but I felt I should get a coffee so I just forgot about that and started some copy and pasting.
After saving I forgot to restart and simply though it didn't work.
I recommend you avoid the forgetting bit as much as possible and focus on a restart instead, it works better that way.
I used to think I wrote these things as a reminder to my self but, that clearly don't work.
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
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.
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"
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
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
