Did you know that mpv can play videos from the TTY? Using the caca (yes) Video output, it shows the video from ASCII characters! 😍

There are better options like tct, but I do love the look here!

Desktop environment was recently changed from Unity to Plasma KDE. Initially both environments worked fine. A few days later, while attempting to revert to Ubuntu environment, the login screen only

Ran into this problem yesterday. Was might confused as to why the USB-TTY was not showing up.

How to stop brltty from claiming your USB UART interface on Linux

Today I wanted to program an ESP32 development board, the ESP-Pico-Kit v4, but when I connected it to my computer's USB port, the serial connection didn't appear in Linux. Suspecting a hardware issue,

When i press the "delete" key on my keyboard, and i'm using my terminal program (kitty), it should delete the character to the right, like Ctrl-D does. That seems achievable, right?

@adamsdesk well, according to @rasteri zhis works because #MDA has it's own #DMA address space vs. #CGA / #HGA / #EGA / #VGA, so in theory #Linux should be able to implement this, tho I'm nit shure if current versions of Linux still support it.

That being said this does require a setup with a seperate #MDA card exclusively occupying it's address space and a #VGA adaptor that ignores it.

  • Most #SOM|s and #embedded as well as #consumer #GPU|s don't do that but take on both address spaces and simply disconnect the MDA part in terms of #BIOS compatibility once they get switched into #VGA mode and only switch back when the VGA mode is turned off.

Also this combo is rather uncommon and basically died with multi-display cards in lieu of #TTY-Terminal access.

A little question to some old #Linux pros: Does `Linux` also support that #DOS-like #DualMonitor with #MDA output on one screen and #VGA on a [second screen?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERMr1Rosq0s&t=1130) (video via @rasteri@mastodon.scot ) Cuz I'd love to support that in [`_OS/1337`](https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337) as a *neat* option to optionally output anything else than 80×25 #TUI… #OS1337

Unterschiede: Shell-Zugriffe in Linux

Warum du Shell-Zugriffe unterscheiden solltest Als Systemadministrator triffst du oft auf Situationen, in denen du eine Shell brauchst, aber der Weg dorthin variiert je nach Systemzustand und Anforderung. Du kannst direkt ohne Desktop in eine Shell booten, einen Terminal-Emulator in einer grafischen Umgebung nutzen oder auf virtuelle Terminals (TTYs) wechseln. Jeder Ansatz hat spezifische Einsatzbereiche: Direkter Boot ohne GUI eignet sich für Server oder Troubleshooting ohne […]
