Hello Thread! Several wine games started to fail to launch with an error after a recent update, and upon investigation I rediscovered that I've been running wine-staging for some time (with maybe some wine-hq repositories?). Was probably due to a good reason, ages ago, but nowadays I'm sure 9.0 will do just fine. I'm on Ubuntu, whose 'wine' package is still 5.0, so I installed wine-stable and was about to uninstall wine-staging & wine-devel and trying to recall how to nominate which version of wine it defaults to when I saw that removing the package will install a whole butt-load of new stuff and raise the install by half a gig. What the everliving feck have I done to my install, and how do I start to un-fudge it? (Using screenshots as the copy/paste is rudely large on these forums, there's no way to collapse text is there?)

Serephina posted:Hello Thread! Alternatively, have you tried just using Steam as your emulation layer? For some games it just works where wine doesn't or needs a lot of config.

Yea I use proton for most games, but some things are just easier to have double-click support for. Also I should probably un-screw whatever I've done before I discover my work applications having troubles.

Serephina posted:What the everliving feck have I done to my install, and how do I start to un-fudge it? You could try to dodge the recommends and see if that's where all the extra bulk is? apt-get --no-install-recommends remove wine-staging Apparently you can also edit apt.conf somewhere to turn off recommends. But I dunno why all the media libraries are being installed / changing. Surely you already had gstreamer. If things are still screwy after running that I suppose you could remove *all* wine packages, do an autoclean to get rid of whatever dependencies the staging & devel versions added, and then install the standard wine. Serephina posted:Yea I use proton for most games, but some things are just easier to have double-click support for. IMO it's very nice to keep a separate system wine and games wine (including also the wine prefixes). Lutris also has internal wine management for installing the latest versions and using them for games. And can make desktop shortcuts.

Serephina posted:Hello Thread! I'm wondering if you need to remove both devel and staging in a single operation? My assumption being that they both require many of the same packages, which might result in some kind of circular dependency thing. apt remove wine-staging wine-devel (idk if apt supports doing that) Also, maybe see if apt autoremove does something better?

I'm not on Ubuntu, but there was an update to gstreamer recently that broke the built in quartz library and was preventing a bunch of my games from starting. Try installing the quartz package from winetricks into one of your prefixes. That did the trick for me. It might also be helpful to see some of the errors you're getting when attempting to run your games.

LTS kernel also had a bug for AMD cards where games would crash if resizable bar was not enabled. I think it got patched very recently?

Sanity check: Okular can't arbitrarily scale a PDF for printing, right? I found the option to shrink to page/shrink to fit/do not shrink, but I can't find anywhere to put an arbitrary scale (like "44%" or "125%"). Edit: Needs to do layers, and scale larger/smaller than 100%. And what's everybody's favorite PDF viewer with that option? (I am on a fresh install of Fedora with KDE and can't remember what I was using before.) effika fucked around with this message at 23:18 on May 14, 2024 |

Oh, and layers, which Firefox doesn't do that I can see. I'll edit my post. Command line is OK too since I will know what pages I want to print and what size by that point. I'll install anything; I just don't want to install the entire Gnome desktop if I can help it. effika fucked around with this message at 23:20 on May 14, 2024 |

I've done this many times using command line tools. I forget which ones. Pdfutils maybe? If you want a GUI maybe Inkscape can do what you want? Set the page size, import your pdf, then blow it up to 400% or whatever and drag it over the page to print each section. Honestly this might be a better answer since you're going to need some overlap to tape them together into a single pattern. Most patterns I've seen have already done this for you, but I guess not all!

As far as selecting layers goes, if you want to write some Python then you can probably do it with the PyMuPDF library. Honestly so much stuff that uses “Optional Content Groups” (layers) depends on other aspects of Acrobat that I would instead use Acrobat under Wine https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-adobe-acrobat-reader-dc-wine-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux

Am I dreaming that hibernate won’t be a buggy mess in TYOOL 2024. I followed this guide and I can get it to work, but it takes a good deal of babysitting to get it to actually work when I send the hibernate command. Sometimes it acts like SELinux is blocking it and goes to the login screen - when this happens I can get it to hibernate after hitting the hibernate button a few times. If I set SELinux to permissive to troubleshoot, it definitely tries to hibernate but only made it to turning off the displays, then the fans cranked up to max for like a minute and I could feel the heat belching out of the computer so I turned it off to try again. I ended up just putting it in sleep mode since it’s a desktop, but I do prefer hibernate and have been using the desktop as a test case for my laptop. I’m on Fedora 40 with KDE 6. Not sure I’m looking for specific help unless there’s a magic bullet, more just lamenting that I haven’t been able to figure it out yet after being on a pretty good run of tackling my other bizarre hobbyist OS desires lately.

cruft posted:I've done this many times using command line tools. I forget which ones. Pdfutils maybe? I don't know how I skipped over Inkscape. It'll be very useful for doing pattern alterations before printing. LibreOffice Draw absolutely chugs on even smaller PDFs, and I have some A0 pages that I sometimes alter. GIMP does what I want but isn't the best for that purpose compared to other tools. And for those playing along at home: It was Evince, aka Document Viewer, that does layers and has arbitrary scaling in the print dialogue because it uses the system dialogue to print like a sane application. I don't know why they decided Okular needed to Be Cool and do its own thing, but man, is that annoying. Well Played Mauer posted:Am I dreaming that hibernate won’t be a buggy mess in TYOOL 2024.

I am knocking on wood right now. I have never had hibernate work well at all up until this install. I am afraid to touch anything, lest whatever magic finally worked stopped working. But it hasn't worked right for me across multiple distros, DEs, and the last 17 Fedora versions.

Pdfutils maybe? pdftocairo will "render" a PDF using a libcairo backend which supports PDF, PostScript, or PNG if you want raster. It supports scaling but I'm not sure how the scale options are actually interpreted and they may be backend specific. It also, frustratingly, tends to generate PostScript that breaks on my 2008 Brother printer. There's also pdftops (Xpdf), pdf2ps, and ps2pdf (GhostScript) that I believe support scale options.

My Windows laptop turned into an unusable mess as Windows explorer suddenly started to crash randomly. It being the year of Linux on desktop I installed Fedora on it, and I’m surprised how easy it was to set up full disk encryption that I can unlock using my Yubikey. Incredible, I remember trying something like this out on Ubuntu years ago and it was a mess. I’m excited in which fun way it will break in the future

You can do a surprising amount of pdf work with imagemagik and there is pdfutils. I haven't used either one with layers, though.

Imagemagik is used in a lot of backends. I once experienced the admins updating a cae package that costs tens of thousands Euro in subscription fees. Some parts stopped working because admin had a wrong version of imagemagik on the server.

Yeah I think even The Onion’s website used to use imagemagick or something similar to generate their headlines with the same font they used in their print issues. This was before webfonts were a thing so they just had images of the headline text in the correct font. I remember finding the path to the script that generated them and had fun making my own headlines since they just accepted whatever URL variable came with the request and sent you back a PNG with the headline

Brings down the current container, pulls the new one, spins it up then, and most importantly, if the healthcheck for the container fails, rolls back to the previous image for the container. Podman auto updates sound fully sick. I wonder if my weird compose files will work in it. I have traefik all setup and everything.

Docker has been doing the exact same thing for >5 years as long as you use the orchestration ("swarm") mode - which basically means it's "docker stack deploy" instead of "docker compose up", but otherwise you use the same file. And if you have multiple replicas of the container, it will upgrade one at a time and avoid any downtime. I'm a convinced nomad+podman user myself nowadays for several other reasons, but I always thought Swarm was underrated. NihilCredo fucked around with this message at 19:58 on May 16, 2024 |

What is the actually recommended way to handle storage access for quadlets? Stuff like my Jellyfin container reading my media library. On my old setup I just use local directory volumes in the command line. And the autoconverter gave me volume mounts in the quadlet.container file which works ok. Unless I want to do something like mounting a directory that is on an nfs mount on a selinux machine. The official manual seems to assume that you do that or use .volume files, without any backing configuration. Which seems to create a volume somewhere where the containers live, and I presume would be getting backed by a backup job inside the container. And I suppose, some part of the documentation also mentions that you can use docker plugins written by some rando on github. Which are even less documented.

.volume files will just create podman volumes. For non-root podman they would go in: $HOME/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/ You can back them up in a few ways. I wrote a script that will do it a while back and added it to the podman's example repo. https://github.com/containers/appstore/blob/main/scripts/podman-volume-backup.sh Or you can choose your backup utility of choice like dupliciti and attach the volumes you want to back up to it like any other container for it to do its thing. Network mounts should work fine for podman containers if you mount them via the host and add the path in your quadlet file. I do this for my local cifs share with my tv shows on it and it works just fine on a coreos vm. Non-podman managed paths can be added directly in the .container quadlet file. Look at some examples on the repo. https://github.com/containers/appstore/tree/main Nitrousoxide fucked around with this message at 21:45 on May 16, 2024 |
