Re: [Software] How to prevent gpg-agent pinentry from grabbing (locking) keyboard & mouse

@CwF
I've been doing that most of the times but there are times, especially when one is in hurry, when this fells sideways. I hope there is a solution around this, hopefully!

[Software] How to prevent gpg-agent pinentry from grabbing (locking) keyboard & mouse

On Debian Sid gpg-agent (2.2.40-1.1) pinentry program grabs the keyboard and mouse and once that happens, user is unable to switch the windows using either keyboard or mouse. This can be especially annoying if you have the password stored in a password-manager as you won't be able to switch/open the...

The above displays all the titles of the played radio stream including the old ones, doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
And thanks for the great tip. That tip not only shrinks the script but makes it more readable and easier to understand.
Cheers!!!

Sorry for a delayed reply :( Thanks a metric ton kiyop for your valued suggestions :D Thanks also to BowCatShot and Loomx for some great input :D I was working on an Internet radio player script and this question was asked specifically for a section of that script.

Re: Bash: replace the former output with the new one

Thanks Kiyop for posting this on my behalf. To recap my question, I'm using mpg123 to play radio streams like this one, http://streaming.radionomy.com/-1ClassicRock I'm running mpg123 in terminal emulator to play the stream. By default the output looks like following, mpg123 http://streaming.radiono...

Re: What is your prompt ?

Code: Select all

PS1='\[\e[01;32m\]\u \[\e[01;37m\]> \[\e[01;33m\]\w\n\[\e[$(((($?>0))*31))m\]\$\[\e[0m\] '
If the last command you ran in the terminal failed this will turn '$' ['#' for root] in bash prompt to an angry red from the default green.
Cheers!!!

@vbrummond Thanks for your contributions to the forum! Being a moderator in Linux forums can at times be frustrating, plus you have to provide a certain time out of the daily schedule as well. Not an easy task. I hope this thread doesn't continue like it has until now cause as members of the forum w...

Re: Thoughts on Ubuntu maintaining Jessie's kernel ~ discuss

Okay here is the story (real) behind Ubuntu maintaining Jessie kernel, Ben Hutchings who is maintaining 3.2 kernel felt that he won't have time to maintain another longterm stable branch. He proposed to Greg Kroah-Hartman that his next longterm kernel branch be based on 3.16 but due to earlier freez...

Re: Thoughts on Ubuntu maintaining Jessie's kernel ~ discuss

The “New Maintainer process” is a strange way to discourage people to contribute to Debian. It is particularly bureaucratic and a huge waste of time both for the applicant and his manager. It should be completely thrown overboard. One needs a more scalable approach for trust and credibility that al...

Re: Thoughts on Ubuntu maintaining Jessie's kernel ~ discuss

Although I agree with the first part, I even mentioned at the beginning of the thread how amazing it is that a distro with the large resources Debian has does not have enough manpower for kernel maintenance :? , where do you get the idea from that there is an untapped pool of kernel maintainers?

It's impossible to argue with the clinically delusional. (Just sayin') A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.

Decision makers at the top are busy in-fighting and promoting their own agendas and ignoring the voice of majority of Debian users (for example systemd).

Re: Thoughts on Ubuntu maintaining Jessie's kernel ~ discuss

This is getting blown out of proportion. There are no "cracks forming" because they decided to support a certain version of the kernel. I also don't understand where the init system comes into this. I'd like to see some hard data and not duf rants. Two very very critical components, kerne...

How trustworthy and stable can an operating system remain when it's developers don't have much control over init system and kernel?

Default init system for the next Debian stable will come from Red Hat and default kernel will be maintained by Canonical!!!
