STOP Everything! If You Use WINDOWS 10, You Need to Watch This NOW!

The 'pv' #Linux utility is quite nice as you can track any process read process with the -d option. But what if it is not installed?

p=long_run_prog_name; while pgrep $p >/dev/null; do echo $(date -Isec) $(awk -v s=$(stat -c %s infile) '/pos/{printf "%.3f %%\n", 100*$2/s}' $(eval echo /proc/{$(pgrep -d, $p)}/fdinfo/3) ); sleep 30;done

'infile' is the file read on file descriptor 3 (after fdinfo)

output for two proceeses:

“I do recall Emacs ^S and ^Q being problematic due to terminal mode occasionally getting set badly (and then the underlying hardware would wake up, “Oh, flow control! I know how to do that!”, ^S would freeze everything and you had to Just Know to do ^Q…)”

@wrog this is still a problem in modern terminal emulators. On Linux, nearly all terminal emulator software emulates the DEC VT-220 hardware pretty closely, so it does actually send the ASCII DC1 and DC3 characters for C-q and C-s, and the virtual TTY device responds accordingly by blocking all further characters except for DC1 and DC3. You have to execute the command stty -ixon to disable soft flow control for a given TTY device after it has been initialized by the operating system.

I think there is a way configure the pseudoterminal manager system control to create virtual TTY devices that ignore DC1 and DC3 characters, but I don’t know how, and for whatever reason (probably for backward compatibility with older Unix systems) Debian-based Linux doesn’t configure it this way by default. I think most people just put the stty -ixon in their ~/.profile file.

Hi, Fedi folks, how can I disable a certain output from a faulty keyboard? It constantly triggers screens brightness on and I wanna get rid of it till I buy another keyboard.

I run: xev -event keyboard command and get the below (see attachment).

I can try to disable 'keycode 8' it requests mapping with:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 8='

But as I understood it's kinda combination of several keys/commands so a bit cautious not to mess up the things 🤔

Thanks in advance 🙏

Me encanta #linuxmint.

Es bonito, fácil y estable. Todo lo que se le puede pedir a un sistema operativo.

En mi caso los únicos fallos que he tenido ha sido por culpa de la gráfica de #nvidia. En cualquier caso una vez lo sabes el fix es sencillo, o firmar los drivers de nvidia, siguiendo la guía que hay anclada en el foro de linux mint o deshabilitar secure boot. Yo tras haber firmado una versión antigua he optado por lo segundo con la versión nueva para no volver a tener problemas en el futuro.
Firmar los drivers de nvidia son 3 comandos y un reinicio, no es complejo. Y deshabilitar #secureboot es muy sencillo también, entrar a la uefi y cancelar esta opción. No tiene más.

Por cierto la ilustración de fondo es de #michaelwhelan al que podéis encontrar en el fediverso.
