You rock! thanks

I'm posting this here becasue the solution is something someone else may find useful. My e-lab is in my basement and my dev workstation is in my main-floor office. The e-lab has a Debian server that hosts USB connected microcontroller dev boards. STmicro provides a TCP/USB bridge application called ...

In Xfce there is a Workspaces>Margins setting that would maybe keep things within viewable area. Thanks for the followup. Unfortunately all the "desktop settings" only give hints to managed windows. For a full screen window it is up to the window whether it honors the desktop settings. It...

Here's an interesting one. Please read in entirety before responding, to facilitate only applicable comments. I have an old 1366 16:9 westinghouse TV driven via hdmi by a legacy GT610 nvidia card (using nvidia drivers, not nouveau) The monitor has no way to correct for overscanning. D'Oh! I looked a...

Qt5 is about as heavy-weight as I'm willing to go, I think that is as heavy as it gets! Just saying, tcl/tk is glorious. Tickle! By far the fastest to method to an end result. And mostly DIY. Eh...With a real lite-weight window manager it's not bad...and as long as I don't have to invite any gnome ...

Hey Yinz. (Yeah, from Pittsburgh) Anyways, I've been focusing on embedded systems lately and have built up a collection of rants regarding the particular ecosystems I'm working under (STM32)...but that caused me to pose a larger question. Are there any "very active" embedded system discuss...

USB is not a guaranteed bandwith topology. It is shared access, so other devices on the same USB host can/will rob bandwidth.

There is no good answer to this. If someone tells you 12 chars of jibberish is OK, then next week that will be considered insecure. Don't rely upon passwords as the keys to the castle. lock down your overall environment with multiple layers of security: network access, managed users, disallow remote...

FWIW, I would not use the cp command, but would instead do "dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=512" since cp is meant for filesystem operations, not raw devices.

Unorthodox? The computer field is made up of "unorthodox" and "whatever it takes to make it work"

Well, it was worth a try... oswaldkelso recommended a couple that are not packages in debian, but they are text apps, not basic X11 so no joy. Qt5 is about as heavy-weight as I'm willing to go, although there is some primal nostalgic satisfaction in doing something with X11/motif...it's been more th...

First, I don't want to debate the merits of different desktop environments. This is what I'm looking for: a liteweight X11 display clock that has stopwatch and countown timer functionality with second display accuracy. Not a toolbar widget, but something that has a real digital interface and allows ...

Forced adoption of systemd (now past tense, and I moved all my Debian systems to Devuan some time ago. I still consider that "close enough" to Debian though, since 90+% of packages are verbatim). Removal of support for traditional daemons where systemd has similar functionality (e.g. logg...

I've not played with it, but intend to review it now that I'm aware.

I agree with the general concensus on here that personal cellphone 2fa is a bad thing. I think we all know why: privacy/tracking-data...but unfortunately joe-sixpack lacks the sophistication to understand the dangers of the wireless leash (smartphone) so those of us who do know better are metaphoric...

FWIW, the symbol export previously suggested just changed the error message to: root@files:/usr/src# export IGNORE_PREEMPT_RT_PRESENCE=1 root@files:/usr/src# dkms build nvidia-current/470.223.02 -k 5.10.0-28-rt-amd64/x86_64 --kernelsourcedir /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.0-28-rt-amd64 Error!

IMHO, the linux kernel has never handled IO channel bottlenecks well, and it seems to have gotten worse the more they try to genericise a kernel "for general use" by playing with newer more complicated schedulers. RT is an experiment to see if the occasional "mouse freeze" or sys...

There are some rumblings about this when doing a web search, but nothing substantive jumps out.

I need to switch to linux-image-rt/oldstable and it seems nvidia-current-dkms is incompatible. Any elegant path forward?

I'd hate to have to jump to manual driver build from the nvidia vendor website.

Are you sure things are set right? Will double check but I'm fairly certain that the only thing having changed was from 4.x to 5.x kernel. The RocketRaid BIOS is known buggy and will destroy data on certain drive sectors if it is enabled, so it has always been disabled on my machines. The machine i...

doubtful this thread will ever be resolved. In typical FOSS fashion, I guess I'm stuck without the feature until someone in the CUPS project taskes note and addresses it.
