@ricardo : I tried, but no luck. Device is not detected.

@terry_dwyer : I would love to be in that situation.

But, although the sensor is detected
fprint finds nothing:

I tried to deploy the rules and the lib from the github repo, but that did not improve the situation. The topic you mentioned is probably the one I used when I get the machine to enable the fingerprint sensor.

How did you extract the icon ? I only got the rocket. ONe of the advantages of the menu is that it retrieves the icon

Hello

Thank you for the tutorial spamegg. That can help.
But my question was more : Does someone know why the "Create shorrtcut" does not work with AppImage ? Is it my setup that has an issue, or is it general in Mint ?

Either I fix my setup or I submit a bug

Best regards

Hello Using Mint 20.3 on Cinnamon. I installed Balena Etcher using their AppImage binary, so their is no shortcut installed by default. Once launched, the icon appears in the "Grouped window list" applet. I canright-click on it and choose "Create shortcut" action. This action sho...

Hello

It looks like a good start, although I will need to run the computation by myself.
Let's check this.

Hello,

I'm searching for a program to track my keyboard usage under Linux, like https://github.com/UsageStats/UsageStats.
I searched the internet, but found nothing decent. I excluded WhatPulse, which has a linux client, but requires to upload keyboard data to compute stats.

Any help welcome

Meerci @jjcojax,

je vais regarder ça, alors.

@jjcojax: Sur ton clavier, justement, il n'y a pas d'accès direct à É, il faut composer.

A priori, il va falloir jouer avec les variantes pour tester.
