#nixos boot error #gnome pop-up using #zenity that warns of boot errors, unless the error has already been classified by you as harmless the last time it appeared in the pop-up,
see #flake #module https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/modules/boot-error-notifications.nix
The errors are manually checked with #AI eg Claude before classifying them as irrelevant with a radio button & hiding them henceforth from appearing. If no boot errors, no pop-up. This #nixosaiflakehack was iteratively assisted by #claude . Spot bugs early when #tweakingflakes.

I think I've pretty well done everything I want to do it, for now at least. Goal accomplished; a mostly point and click option for desktop #Linux to get information about my server's UPS.

I may see about turning this into a simple .deb package later so you can get a shortcut in your apps menu, but the script itself is, I think, basically finished. I accomplished what I set out to do.

SIGWOCHENENDE received.

Das HTML-Issue mit #Zenity - also, der Niemand zu sein, der das kurzerhand rausgeschmissene Feature nutzt - hat mich ΓΌber GebΓΌhr runtergezogen. Ich habe dann als Arbeitsthese die HTML-Generierung mit Pandoc aus Markdown auf Zielformat TXT umgestellt, das war ganz ulkig und macht's einstweilen etwas okayer. πŸ™

"if we get bug reports we can consider other options" is such an incredibly flawed train of thought by someone who obviously uses Debian Testing as a rolling release. The bulk of reports will roll in after stable release when the introduction of other options will have to wait for literal *years*. #Debian #Trixie #Zenity

Compile-time option disabled by Debian packager: "Most likely nobody will notice."

From the actively aggressive error msg dept.:

$ zenity --title foo --text-info --html --width=600 --height=400 --checkbox=foo --filename=foo
This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages.

(It's about --html, which is a pity for my use case.)

#Texpander is a simple text expander for #Linux. It is sort of like #Autokey, except it works off of text files that you put in your ~/.texpander directory. Texpander is a #bash script that uses #xclip, #xdotool, and #zenity to let you type an abbreviation for something and it expands to whatever you have in the matching text file.

So I've realized I could probably make the frontend for mpdpopm out of #zenity and #bash, pretty easily actually. Might get on that tomorrow?

Did you know you can create shell scripts with a graphical UI using KDialog (#KDE) or Zenity (#GTK)?
This is a great way to write simple tools with a user-friendly UI.

when did #zenity deprecate the "--window-icon"?

it looks like they just have a single "--icon" now for dialog boxes!?

how is a person going to easily relate a dialog to a particular program? i'm confused. is this part of turning our desktop computers into "dumb" devices? @jeffcliff @icedquinn @Suiseiseki
