Re: This newbie has overcome his fear of the terminal

I don't really think much of the mindset or mentality which promotes the idea of sticking with tradition or habit or "what you know" over thinking for oneself, and honestly I have little use for those persons who function in that way, whether in the technology world or elsewhere. There ar...

Re: This newbie has overcome his fear of the terminal

My first lesson with the Linux Command Line PDF was a warning NOT to use spaces in filenames. Here's at least one mention (on page 36 of OP's reference): 4.Though Linux supports long filenames which may contain embedded spaces and punctuation characters, limit the punctuation characters in the name...

Re: This newbie has overcome his fear of the terminal

While it's true that files with spaces in their names can be dealt with, I prefer to avoid spaces in files I create.

I like this oldish link on filenames: http://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/201607/page03.html

Re: KDE-Spectacle

What happens if you run spectacle -b -a -o ~/Pictures/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).jpg from your terminal? After you do, is there an image of your terminal in your Pictures folder?

Also, run which spectacle because which kde-spectacle comes up empty.

Re: Chromium/Chrome V-69 User Tweak for Butt Ugly Update

I just checked google-chrome-unstable ( that's currently v72) and it has:
Default
Refresh
Touchable Refresh
Dynamic Refresh

But I wonder why they haven't applied the "WONTFIX" kiss of death. Perhaps it's not PC and Google is now more about PC I guess.

Enjoy it while you can, that flag stopped working in Chromium 71. Looks like it. The bug is being ignored: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=863230 It's still stuck with M69 instead of being punted to M70. Plus, only 18 users have "starred" it, FWIW. I don't care about...

Another route could be this: Did you test that? I would expect the themes to override this. Big oops! Please try this in $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css : scrollbar.vertical slider, scrollbar.vertical .slider { min-width: 33px; min-height: 42px; margin: 0px -1px 0px -1px; } It works with all the gtk3...

Re: scroll bar question- addtional help please

Another route could be this:

Create a text file called gtk.css in ~/.config/gtk-3.0.

Put the following code in there and save the file.
Code:

Code: Select all

*{
-GtkRange-slider-width: 12;
}
Instead of 12 use a higher or lower value as suitable.
