Has anyone gotten a Python 3 plug-in to work on Windows?

Wasn't my fault after all. GIMP has a quick update to fix the issue for Windows users.


I tried both the "Hello, World" one, and the Goat one.

I saved the "Hello, World" one as C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins\py3-hello-world\py3-hello-world.py as instructed. I did the same for the goat one, but named it "goat-exercise-py3". I double-checked the plug-ins folder path in Preferences, and that's one of the two.

Incidentally, the code in the two files are different in regards to initializing the plugins. The Goat one includes ".py" in the call to init, but the "Hello, World" one does not:

GimpUi.init("goat-exercise-py3.py")

 undefined
    
plug_in_binary = "py3-hello-world"
GimpUi.init(plug_in_binary)

  

I tried using the nominal shebang line

Access keyboard settings from texts?

Hiya!

Sometimes, when I’m texting and try to access another app, my phone cuts directly to keyboard settings. Does anyone know how I’m doing this? I like that it’s an option, but internet searching has failed me when trying to find out how I’m doing this.

Edit: A wonderful commenter solved my confusion—I was swiping up on the emoji button and that takes you to keyboard settings. Thank you again for your help!

Does multiplayer on Helldivers 2 on Arch (CachyOS) work for you?

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

Trying (failing) to use MS Word wildcards to detect any two capitalized letters, and insert a space between them...

Follow-up to this thread - this is way more specific, so hopefully worthy of its own thread. I think wildcards are the best option for my skill level (basically none), and have gotten a good chunk of what I wanted to accomplish done with those.

An issue I've run into and can't seem to google my way out is making TTS pronounce acronyms in a sensible way. For example "PACU" (post-anesthesia care unit) is usually vocalized as "pack-you" but my TTS software likes to say things like "pace-uh". Or "PO" (latin abbreviation for 'by mouth') is vocalized by just saying the letters, but TTS says "Poe". Stuff like that.

When the TTS comes across a capitol letter with a space on either side, it just pronounces the letter, so I'd still lose things like "pack-you" but at least hearing it spell out "pee ay see you" would make sense, vs "pace-uh" which is gibberish and confusing at high playback speeds.

Best I've come up with so far is <([A-Z]{2})> on the Find

EndeavourOS freezing during boot process. Any idea on how to proceed?

I have EndeavourOS installed on my X200S. When I power it on it gets past "Welcome to EndeavourOS" but gets stuck around

Starting Bluetooth service...

Or

Starting Network Manager...

I believe it got stuck on a few other spots previously but I can't recall where. The "Drive in use" indicator light stops flashing at this point. At that point the only option as far as I can tell is to press the power button.

I can boot from a USB drive without any issues.

I had updated my computer but I believe I was believe I did a successful reboot after that.

Any suggestions? I can't seem to find a solution online. A lot of the support pages end with them giving up and reinstalling EndeavourOS.


Solution:

My X200S runs Libreboot and apparently that has issues with the current Linux kernel. I created a bootable EndeavourOS USB unlocked the LUKS drive with sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 unlockedFolder. Mounted it with sudo mount /dev/mapper/unlockedFolder /mnt. Ran arch-chroot

I'm completely baffled by this and both of my servers exhibit this behavior, regardless of Intel or AMD.

Here are some objective measurements:

Intel Gold 6326 (16-core):

  • Windows 10 Pro: ~ 72-80W (clocks down to 1.8 GHz)
  • Debian 12: ~ 135W (always stays at 2.9 GHz base)
  • RHEL 9: ~ 135W (identical to Debian)

AMD EPYC Genoa 9554 (64-core):

  • Windows 10 Pro: ~ 80-90W (clocks down to 1.8 GHz)
  • Debian 12: ~ 145W (always stays at 3.1 GHz base)
  • RHEL 9: ~ 145W (identical to Debian)

This seems like a staggerring default result. I have not messed with any power management settings. Windows is set to "Balanced Power".

How to change the default homepage in qutebrowser ?

Solution :

  • :set
  • In this list of options find the entry with the default DDG and change it
  • :save

The reason I had trouble starting to find the solution is because qutebrowser is not using a configuration file by default (from version 1.0 or something onward) and I got lost in the qutebrowser help which has countless entries. Thanks to the Arch Linux wiki I figured out more.

On an Android phone is there an open source method of compressing files?

I have to submit a document for employment and they want my passport but my passport photo is 5.49 MB and they say you can't upload anything more than 5 MB. How can I shrink that file on my android phone without paying some service?

Lutris/Wine outputting audio to disabled audio devices.

(Solution) I was missing lib32-libpulse from my install, I guess it was a default on EndeavourOS and that's why I never knew about it.

I have both my monitors in-build speakers disabled within KDEs audio panel and have my FiiO USB DAC set as the default audio output.

But games running through Lutris are still outputting audio through my monitor and won't detect my DAC, even cycling through the outputs in game won't show the correct one. I've tried forcing the audio output using the Wine Configuration panel on Lutris and it seems to do nothing.

This is on a fresh Arch install using pipewire, I never had this issue running the same games with the same system setup on Pop_OS or EndeavourOS.

Hopefully someone has a fix, Thanks in advance!

Looking for a way to speed up audio on a website that REALLY doesn't want users to speed up audio...

Marking as solved! The solution is a tad cumbersome (can't directly control in-browser), but it comes with a bonus I didn't even think to ask for (mp3 files that I can save to my phone and listen to in the car!).

Using the extension Video Download Helper, I can yoink the sound files right off the website. I've got mp3's set to open with Firefox, so when I open one it launches in its own tab, where I can use the extension Video Speed Controller to manipulate the playback speed; click back to the original ATI tab and read along.

Thanks for the help, all!!!

Unable to install Ubuntu 22.04 from USB

Hiya! I have a known good Ubuntu 22.04 USB that has worked on other devices, but when I try to install it on this PC I get a blank screen with "stdin: Invalid argument" repeated 30 times or so, and at the bottom it says "Unable to find medium contained a live file system" and then attempts to boot from URL. (For some reason lemmy won't let me upload a picture!)

I've tried multiple different USB ports, I've looked at the BIOS and can't find any secure boot or legacy stuff that needs to be disabled. Not sure how to progress!

Help would be greatly appreciated &lt;3

Can someone explain why my PSVR might not be working with an HDMI switch?

For those that don't know the PSVR can use any HDMI input and display it in a flat picture but in VR. I was hoping to set this up with my desktop, PS3, Xbox 360, and PS2 to work in those mode.

It would essentially be hooked up in the following configuration

Devices > 4 in 2 out HDMI switch > PSVR hub's PS4 input > PSVR hub's TV output > Monitor

The issue is having the HDMI switch plugged into the PSVR hubs input doesn't show any image and I'm not sure why. It's powered and worked when I tried directly connecting from my Xbox 360 > HDMI switch > monitor.

Am I missing something? The switch does have dip switches that can toggle the settings but it seems to just switch it from "Copy TV" to version resolutions and audio levels.


Seems as if switching from using my computers USB port to power it to a wall adapter may have done the trick. Either that or something was configured wrong.

Problem solved!

Remap a key? (Windows 10)

I used to have one of those gaming keyboards that lets you reprogram any key - I'm back to just a standard keyboard, but this seems like the kind of thing a modern computer should be able to do without a "gaming" peripheral.

What I'd really like to do is rebind my caps lock key, because the only time I ever use caps lock is on accident lol. Hoping to rebind it to be my push-to-talk key, so if I could make it do something like a zero-width-space that'll basically turn it into an input key that does nothing except when I tell something like Discord to use that as ptt.

I'm only surface-level competent with computers, so explain-like-I'm-your-grandma or I'll probably fuck something up.

Thanks all!!

UBlock not working anymore for Youtube. Anyone else have the same problem?

Title says it all. Got the message of three remaining videos and then it locked.

I am using FireFox

Edit: Apparently, it was caused by me being logged into YouTube. But I would really like to be. Because that's where all my subscriptions are. If anyone knows of a way to have it both ways, please let me know.

Edit' : It was my Ghostery extension that was causing ruckus. I don't really like the idea of having to switch it off but at least it's nice to know the cause. Anyway, everything is working now. Even when I am logged in ^^
