You need to hold down CTRL for that.

I wonder how Plasma 6 renders the desktop background? I can't imagine it's repainting a static image at vsync or rendering it on GPU, but that almost looks like what's happening. I'd try different desktop alternatives (iirc one was no...

hedwards, I didn't know that the Greg Lehy was now creative commons as my version disappeared during some move or another.

Espionage724 I actually had to film this, and yes, they go away when moving a window pass the sparks 🙃 Never seen this before 👀

Age 5 is definitely pushing it as most 5 year olds can't read or write enough for it. Even when I was a kid back in olden times, I think we were like 7 or 8 before we got to go to the computer lab to use the Apple ][ computers. And even that...

I've seen rare similar artifacting with Intel UHD 630; it'd show on some things like Thunar window parts like a black line or dotted. I do interesting Mesa envs globally and force Intel DDX and figure it's something with that :p (seen it on Linux...

Historically those types of glitches are more often caused by driver/os issues.

Tap and press at that spot to see if they change at all. If they do, it's the display.

feh: /usr/local/bin/feh graphics/feh

Iirc Ristretto didn't mouse-wheel zoom on cursor position, or zoomed laggy/non-accelerated (I mainly used it to open a game's world map jpg (9s vid); it'd open, I position cursor about where I'm at, then mouse-wheel zoom in)

I prefer to use one that best fits the desktop environment in use. Since I am using XFCE, for me it is: graphics/ristretto. However, if you don't open images often or don't need additional options, using the web browser is perfectly fine too.

I noticed you have Oauth enabled, when you setup the account there should be a pop-up page to verify your account to sign in with the email provider which allows you to confirm on allowing Vivaldi to access your email, calendars, contacts...etc I...

On a myriad of subjects too, all using a similar "beginners guide to ..." style. No real author can write this many books, in this short time span, on this many different subjects.

Your firewall rules might be blocking access to some of the DNS IP addresses you're getting from the hotspot. Try with the firewall disabled, that should be fine, the hotspot is doing NAT so you system isn't directly accessible from the internet...

Because the phonebook (DNS) failed. So you cannot resolve hostnames to IP addresses. But this doesn't mean you're not connected to the internet. If you can ping an IP address on the internet then you are connected. Now you have to figure out why...

You fail to grasp some basics, DNS is like a phone book, you use it to lookup a name to find their phone number, you then pick up the phone and dial the number. Not having access to a phone book doesn't mean the telephony system isn't working.

Can't tell for sure, but wouldn't be surprised if it was the cable.

I actually read that this was common, but these sparks doesn't change at all, when moving the lid back and forth. I have cleaned the connector with alcohol and a cotton swab too, just to be sure, no difference.

I have some weird horizontal "noise" flickering on the screen, almost like sparks, can this be caused by the graphics driver? Best seen in the lower right corner. Zoom 👀 The VGA adapter is a AMD Radeon and I have tried TearFree true...

Do you have RTC? I tried a dozen different things to a systemd timer and it'd either not run or run immediately on boot regardless of time. Meanwhile time and cron are easy FreeBSD :D

Now I got everything working. Removed unbound and defaultrouter. Checking with curl instead, ping probably blocked.

I see it's marked for ages 5 years and up. Some of them say 5-18 years. Not a great sign. In my opinion, and, I think many others with better informed opinions than myself, right now the best book is Absolute FreeBSD 3rd edition by Michael...

Why do you have gateway_enable turned on? Unless your laptop is used as a router you don't need it. But anyway, you are using DHCP, which means you get an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and usually one or more DNS servers from the...

Dug around a little, and agree. Looks very dodgy.

Not sure about AMD, but on Intel UHD 630 it seemingly only works stable on 61 (66 and 612 randomly crashed on Xfce desktop moving windows 15.0-16)

Using Gimp for viewing pictures is indeed very inconvenient, since it's a program to manipulate/edit pictures, but no viewer. What viewer I use depends on the purpose. Second. feh is also my standard viewer, when I just want to take a quick...

As to how gimp is selected, here's a guess. I don't have gimp installed so I'll use firefox as an example. In /usr/local/share/applications/ is firefox.desktop which has a mime type entry like this: Note that image/gif and image/png and...

Wrong conclusion, you ARE connected to the net, or else the ping to 1.1.1.1 would have failed too. You have (or had) a problem resolving.

What file manager are you using? In most, like Thunar and Nemo, you just right click and choose Open With to set the default program: I used graphics/viewnior for a long time now I switched to graphics/ristretto

feh is great but can't display all images. At one time I used geeqie but moved on from it for reasons I don't recall. You might consider imagemagick7 which can do all kinds of image manipulation as well as display. Nowadays I often just use the...

can you check the logs in the mail setting of the browser below:

graphics/feh seems pretty good for a quick review of images in a directory. I had forgotten about it and am grateful for the reminders.

At the moment I'm mainly interested in getting it installed via a script as it appears to be relatively simple to install. I have installed it in the past but am having some problems currently. In the longer term I hope to use Drupal.

feh: /usr/local/bin/feh graphics/feh

open image app : feh .. open GUI folder manager ,, right click the picture , select open with : feh ..

Hello again all, I wanted to share with you the latest improvements I made to this .profile addition. Basically, in under 350 lines of shellcode, each time you login on your server you get something like this: Here is the code: #!/bin/sh...

Hello all FreeBSD users, At the invitation of Crivens, I repost here the little script I've come up with and which received improvements from the community (thanks SirDice, unitrunker, emmex). Context: the idea was to obtain information about...

Wordpress has always been the most attacked and lowest security of all these things.

gio is new to me too. Must take it for a spin.

I like viewnior on Xfce gio mime image/jpeg viewnior.desktop gio mime image/png viewnior.desktop gio mime image/bmp viewnior.desktop

If you really want to compare Linux and FreeBSD you should use the same malloc implementation on both. An example is tcmalloc, on FreeBSD in port google-perftools, on Linux usually in its own package.

graphics/gimageview old but still quite functional. Depends a bit on the desktop environment. Or the file manager you used to open that file.

Doesn't need to be. As long as there's a route to those addresses the actual DNS server IP addresses can be anywhere on the network.

I don't think mdo is made to be a sudo or doas replacement. I believe it is made for things like services to switch users for subprograms. This way, the original service does not have to be root in order to assume another user's credentials, and...
