Re: System Report - USRMERGE

if I'm not mistaken, but I might be, they were trying to drop 32 bit support for I believe it was the equivalent Mint 20(Ubuntu 20.04), but they drew back on that when a bunch of people freaked out absolutely. But for Mint 21(Ubuntu 22.04) I think ... ah, hell, I don't know if they did it one way or...

Re: copying 3TB extremely slow

honestly, a great solution. -never create any partitions of 3TB. or 1TB, or whatever. When you are managing partition space I don't care if you have SSD, or screaming mmxc, if you are blocking out 3TB at once that's just a bad management design, period. You can do better. When you get to that situat...

It is not a "timeshift partition".
ahh! understood. ok, good.

with that case of /home being separated then, the "recommended" 100GB is certainly not needed on the system side.

Re: Is there a terminal command to get the information from System Info app? [SOLVED]

I was using a Mint 20.x system, -J (usb) wasn't listed. But always easy to check the info. inxi --help Be aware that inxi will output slightly differently based on the calling scheme, whether direct on terminal, in a script, it will give IRC formatted output and more. If you have a small terminal th...

Re: What is this on my panel and how can I be rid of it please?

Code: Select all

	own_window_type = dock,
I suspect whatever that panel setup you are using is giving different treatment to that line right there, and it shows the conky window button for it.

Re: What is this on my panel and how can I be rid of it please?

my initial guess, one of the conky configs doesn't have the window settings correct, for example own_window_hints = 'undecorated skip_taskbar',

Re: What should I expect when upgrading?

another point of interest, timeshift. first one would put less than 20GB on a fresh install, then each one after that is quite much smaller, it is only based on how much changed from that previous snapshot. I'm not sure there's a good standard for size there, but certainly 720GB is abusively wastefu...

Re: How to launch a bash script from a conky .lua script

So now what? You have that clickbox mouse program running, but it's only coded to switch to one situation, correct? and not back, or to another workspace conky theme. But, it's still running in the background. If you start it again with another switch-desk activity then you would have 2 of the click...

Re: What should I expect when upgrading?

100GB is recommended.

Do a fresh install.

Use the mint Backup Tool beforehand and you can save off the 2 files for user installed system programs and user data space separately, copy those to some other safe space and then you can import them on the new install at least.

Re: How to launch a bash script from a conky .lua script

Launch your bash script from your main conky startups script alongside firing off all the conky configs. I decided I'm not going to show any example of firing a bash script from lua. I did look into this more, and your particular bash script here, you might just say it's a program in and of itself. ...

Re: How to launch a bash script from a conky .lua script

I didn't really dig all that deep here. You don't want to, I think, in my opinion, run a realtime mouse activity via a conky setup that's only firing a lua script anyway. Your timer defaults to 1 second since you didn't specify it. I get the idea, you want 4 pics and clickable, and then process for ...

This was already talked about a bit. You can use conky manager, start whichever configs you like, then close it, -you will have a proper startup shell script for that set of configs. You save that file, rename it, whatever, then do it again with the other configs you want, and do the same. Now you h...

Re: How to launch a bash script from a conky .lua script

There's numerous ways that are involved so you should give more info, and/or detail, and/or more script. You can launch a script from lua just to do a thing, for example grab some data and dump it to a file. Or you can launch a script from lua that you expect to return some data to you so you can us...
