Yes, it has worked really nicely, just as intended. It was a bit challenging though to find all the needed domains for Minecraft, but that works fine as well.

I did not know about that xset option. Thanks. In the video, I was not really thinking at all about navigation efficiency, etc. but was just focused on making sure I clearly communicated what was in my configuration.

@BrockCochran1 NP I do the same thing lol

Nice. I did not know about that. Works really well. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah. That makes good sense as well especially if the file got deleted. But, also the hostname could change.

@@BrockCochran1 how? Never had the host name change on me. I always had to set it in /etc/hostname

@@iceyrazor I only meant that as I could change my hostname and forget to update where the name may have been hard-coded.

This is the feature that more terminal emulators need, the ability to copy text from the shell output using only the keyboard. wezfurlong.org/wezterm/copymode.html I am very fond of vi selection mode in urxvt. As far as I know, only Alacritty and the suckless terminal have that possibility as well. Thanks!

The foot terminal certainly does seem to have a whole lot of configuration options. Maybe one day I can switch to Wayland...

So glad it was helpful! I hope to create a video soon on my reminder script. It is really nice to have its efficiency because I set a lot of reminders. brockcochran.com/1/b-reminder

Yes, it is a time investment learning sufficient Lua to modify things exactly to your liking. However, the community on Reddit has been very helpful toward me. Were you referring to this section of code? -- Create a taglist widget s.mytaglist = awful.widget.taglist { screen = s, -- There is no point in showing an empty tag. filter = awful.widget.taglist.filter.noempty, -- filter = awful.widget.taglist.filter.all, buttons = taglist_buttons, } I had never heard of the keygrabber class. I am not surprised it exists. Awesome WM has a treasure trove of functionality. I recently researched even making fake screens because my work has ultra-wide monitors.

Hola, No encuentro nada en internet acerca del uso de .toml para configure Awesome WM. La única forma que sé yo sería con Lua. A mí me sirvió mucho invertir un poco de tiempo para aprender los básicos de Lua.

Excelente. ¡Qué gusto oírlo!

I appreciate it!

I have four installs: - home desktop - work desktop - portable, USB-connected SSD install - laptop I have the following files in each home directory for each install: ~/.myhomecomputer ~/.myworkcomputer ~/.myssd ~/.mylaptop Then in my ~/.bashrc, ~/.xinitrc, ~/.profile, etc. I have if statements such as the following to do certain things only on certain installs. For example in my ~/.xinitrc, I run an xrandr script only at work because I use both Intel and AMD graphics there: if [ -e /home/brock/.myworkcomputer ]; then # xrandr script layout-work fi If I do a new install, I copy over my entire home directory, but I only change the one file which serves to distinguish it from the others. So, essentially, every one of my home directories has the exact same configuration and files (which all sync via Nextcloud) except for the one distinguishing file. ¡Muy buena suerte con todo!

@@BrockCochran1 muchísimas gracias por compartir su conocimiento conmigo la verdad me ayudó a solucionar algunos problemas que tenía con awesome wm, le escribo en español porque se que usted lo entiende. Sigua creando contenido la verdad son muy interesante. Saludos

You may need to chroot back into the system and run update-initramfs -u

And only 20 likes.

Sorry, I do not use Windows.

Yes, you can certainly resize it (either shrink or expand it). This is also a very easy thing to test out before doing so on your actual home directory. If you want me to post steps for this, I would be glad to do so.

@@BrockCochran1 This is really smart, thank you for sharing. What about ssh? Have you tried pam_mount to work via remote logins? Either via password or authorized_keys file in the mountpoint user/.ssh folder? I just tested it and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to set it up, perhaps other than modifying pam.d configuration files (which looks complicated).

​@@danielkrajnik3817 I have never tried using it over the network. Perhaps though you could just use passwordless ssh key authentication and use an sshfs command to mount it at login. The ssh key would be encrypted in LUKS. Side note, I have to "ping" my mounted drives though regularly so they do not disconnect. crontab: */10 * * * * ls $HOME/mnt/mounted-drive > /dev/null 2>&1 Another cool thing is that you can mount multiple drives / block files. For example, on one machine, I mount my LUKS home directory, and then a LUKS drive within my home directory mounts.

@@BrockCochran1 thanks, I've seen this sshfs mount method mentioned, but I don't know why not just run "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /home/.bob bob && sudo mount /dev/mapper/bob /home/bob" on each login (and then logout and login again). That's what I'm doing now and it seems fairly fast, maybe not as convenient as pam_mount if it worked, but at least you don't have to ping them - home just stays opened until you shutdown or luksClose it.

@@BrockCochran1 Yeah, using files as LUKS containers provides you with a lot of flexibility. I think that it will come in handy on the cloud as well.

If command output fills at least the entire screen and then I do `clear` or ctrl+l, then I can still scroll up and see the command output. However, if the command output only takes up part of the screen and then I do `clear` or ctrl+l and later scroll up, the command output is gone. So, what I talked about in the video fixes that issue. I wonder if that Konsole bug has been reported.

@@BrockCochran1 And you want the command output to be persistent so you can scroll up and read the history, even after clearing the screen? That just sounds weird to me, but to each their own, I guess.

@@anon_y_mousse If I clear the screen, then it gives me a clean slate to look at when typing the next command. However, I still might want to see previous output later. To remove scrollback output, I would use the `reset` command.

@@BrockCochran1 One final thought, to print the number of blank lines you need to push the current screen of text up, is it more efficient to call `yes` and `head` versus using a for loop and the built-in echo? Also, should you not subtract 2 since you're accounting for your prompt with the -1 but you're not accounting for the enter key being pressed to initiate the command? I use a two line prompt, partly because it can get lengthy and go back and forth and I'd rather have my focus always right where I need it, and when I was testing out your solution I found I needed to account for each newline or I'd have extra lines in the scrollback. cl() { for (( i=0; i<LINES-3; i++ )); do echo; done; print '\e[H\e[3J'; }

@@anon_y_mousse If I subtract two, it removes the last line of my output. I actually changed this since making the video because the `yes` command was causing issues after I upgraded to Debian 12. I use the `seq` command instead and posted what I use in the video description.

I used Terminator a lot a few years ago. It has some great features such as split screen and "Broadcast all" (which I have never used personally). However, I like how lightweight URxvt is and that is has a daemon option with clients or a new instance option with a different PID. The key feature for me is vi selection mode to copy to the clipboard. I really do not like having to go to the mouse to copy text when in a terminal. Enjoy the journey.

@@BrockCochran1 sadly the legend is no more with the community. Does it require config modification to get that vi selection feature.

@@muudus_tv Yes, I was sad to hear of the passing of Bram Moolenaar. It is a Perl script called keyboard-select, and details on enabling it are here: github.com/xyb3rt/urxvt-perls

Cool

I like this option. When I used the data, I checked it by piping into wc -w to make sure it resulted in 66. Thanks

With a WM, get ready to get down into the nuts and bolts. If you have the time, interest and know how it will be beneficial over your current setup, then go for it. I only went for Awesome WM over Xfce because I knew fairly certainly ahead of time how it would specifically benefit my workflow. It was fun though figuring out all of that stuff in Lua.

@@BrockCochran1 How specifically did it benefit your workflow? Do you use it with a job, and if so what job, or just at home?

@@anon_y_mousse There are three main things that come to mind. One, Awesome WM has tags which is basically like workspaces but on a per-screen basis. Using one workspace at a time for all three monitors never worked for me. Therefore, when I used Xfce, it felt like my desktop was cluttered and disorganized. Two, it allows me to spend more time on the keyboard for better efficiency and ergonomics. Three, having the extremely high level of customization is very nice. (I tend to be particular with how I want things to be on my desktop.) I sync all of my config files via Nextcloud. So, my desktop setup is cloned on my work PC, home PC, laptop, and my bootable SSD. (I have if statements to adjust for each install.) I teach Spanish and manage the language lab (computer lab) for my department.

@@BrockCochran1 I hear that complaint a lot about multi-monitor setups. I only have one and just shift things to various desktops as needed. Generally I'll split the screen left/right or top/bottom when editing code and use multiple tabs for files and have documentation on adjacent desktops. Maybe I'm just old, but I find it easier to concentrate on what I'm doing if I only use one monitor.

@@anon_y_mousse The key thing is having enough pixels to be able to do split screen.

The theme of each graphical environment is configured (or can be) in each user's home directory. For example, in Awesome, I use Thunar (Xfce) and Eye of Mate (from Mate desktop which isn't even installed), and these all follow my user's theme. As a general rule, the user configuration overrides the equivalent system configuration. So, ~/.local/share/themes/Arc-Dark takes precedent over /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark. None of us has had any theming issues. Every GUI application I use is consistent with my theme just how I want it. :)

The OpenWRT firmware and a link to the stock firmware can be found here, openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c7_ac1750_v2.0. Best of luck with it.

@@ravindurangana7745 On Luci, where you go to backup/upgrade, you can select to "Save mtdblock contents" with the options of u-boot, firmware, kernel, rootfs, rootfs_data, or art. Which do you need?

@@BrockCochran1 thank u sir...now i am going to try,❤️

Nice. I invested a lot of time in this initially. Now it is just a blast and makes my all-day computing experience so very nice. Recently, I have started customizing some naughty.notify scripts for teaching purposes. It is a lot of fun all along to do whatever you want in the Lua. The Awesome Reddit community has been great as well. They have helped me on a few occasions when problems are over my head. I just posted an updated rc.lua above if of benefit. Feel free to send me an email too if questions come up. It is listed on my website. Good luck with it and enjoy!

@@BrockCochran1 I just realized that you answered on a my post on reddit how to have a good multi monitor workflow. I am happy you kept your word, this really helps me!

@@HR-ve7mc Yes, being a man of my word is very important to me. So glad it was helpful.

That was my guess before looking and I just checked the man page. -F fs --field-separator fs Use fs for the input field separator (the value of the FS predefined variable).

@@DigitalMetal Thanks. I would have opened the man page in the video but did not take the time to do so.

I would be interested to see reference documentation on this functionality with awk. I have seen echo "$page" | awk '/StartPattern/,/EndPattern/' but not what you mention above. The issue with what I found is that it prints the start and end patterns as well. As always, I appreciate your comments.

@@BrockCochran1 Perhaps an example is best. Assume you have a list of 5 lines, and you want to start printing AFTER you find line containing 1, and stop printing when you find line 4 (NOT including 4). I think this matches what you wanted to do in your video - so here's a way: echo -e "1 2 3 4 5 " | awk '{ if (/1/) { inside=1; } else if (/4/) {inside=0;} else if (inside) {print;}}' This will only show lines 2 and 3 - not the delimiting lines (1 and 4) and not 5. I believe this matches your requirements - replace "1" with "Consultar" and "4" with "Academia" and you have the functionality you demo-ed in your video. As for documentation, the "if (/regex/)" syntax is documented in the manpage - it means "search the current line for this regex". Hope this helps!

@@ThanassisTsiodras What an improvement! Here is my updated script, brockcochran.com/1/diccionario-updated. On the original post, the opening curly brace had been left out, and I did not catch it. I look forwarding to digging into this further and learning awk better. I appreciate it! :)

I guess I am so TUI oriented that the thought of glyphs has never occurred to me. I could see it being beneficial both functionally and aesthetically. Someone here claims to have gotten it working in urxvt, unix.stackexchange.com/questions/643488/urxvt-doesnt-show-glyphs-on-arch-linux-new-install.

@@BrockCochran1 thanks. I couldn't find any solutions for this earlier. Maybe will give it a try again

This seemed to make it easier to read for me. cat nextcloud.log | tr '{' ' ' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\t' | tr -d '"' | sed 's/\\/ /g;s/^$/------------------------------/' | fmt | less or perhaps while :; do tail nextcloud.log | tr '{' ' ' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\t' | tr -d '"' | sed 's/\\/ /g;s/^$/------------------------------/' | fmt; sleep 4; clear; done I used the while loop because tail -f did not work with multiple levels of piping.

I appreciate your support of the channel.

It looks like it has tags as well and provides a high level of customization. I wonder how it compares with Awesome WM in customization.

Good to hear from you, Thanassis. If I were to change the /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service file to say, --daemonize=yes, then PulseAudio would not work for the graphical user on my system. I therefore opted to exclude my user from that command, and I start pulseaudio -D from my ~/.profile instead.

@@BrockCochran1 understood! Thx.

It was a lot of fun putting it together. I also appreciate that you helped me to catch that I had not capitalized the 'a' in PulseAudio.
