Re: Joystick mapping tool for Linux
Disclaimer: don't use a joystick/gamepad too often, and didn't test this. Google-fu for "linux joystick button mapping app", returns AntiMicroX (https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox), which seems to cover to some extent what the Logitech app is capable of. One caveat (might or might no...

Re: Too Many Fonts
[...] you can install a shortcut to the font to save space but not sure if that would speed up boot times. [...] Yes, even with font shortcuts, Windows would have to manage a "font cache" file (not sure where it resides in the later versions). Unlike the Linux counterpart, this cannot be ...

Re: Too Many Fonts
My approach would be: - zip-up the whole content of the fonts folder - remove/uninstall most of the fonts (if possible leave only windows out-of-the-box fonts, and those you're really into at this time) - restart - keep the zip file handy -- when you need to use a document with fonts not installed, ...

Re: Oolite Linux 1.91 fails to run on Ubuntu 22 LTS
[...] Are you familiar with git/github? Could you prepare a change? I am familiar a bit with git, but not at all with github. I don't think though the change is that complicated where the 32 bit and 64 bit of libgnustep-base.so.1.20 are retired (deleted), and libgnustep-base.so.1.28 versions added....

Re: Oolite Linux 1.91 fails to run on Ubuntu 22 LTS
[...] Number 2 may have additional caveats as I understand it. I gave a spin to an attempt to rebuild gnustep-base-1.20 in my current Slackware 15.0 version, and it won't work. I tweaked some configuration options (by excluding e.g. objc-api.h, and enforcing the linker to look into /usr/lib64), and...

Re: Oolite Linux 1.91 fails to run on Ubuntu 22 LTS
From what I can tell, there are two obvious options: 1) provide libgnustep-base.so.1.28 instead of libgnustep-base.so.1.20 as a Linux dependency 2) continue building with libgnustep-base.so.1.20 and use it as a runtime dependecy Number 2 above might require an environment with an Obj-C compiler that...

Re: Proof: Oolite Linux 1.91 unresponsive
I tested, similarly, in a VM on xubuntu 22.04 live iso. True, no reaction while trying to start it from the GUI. One notice/correction though, the (original) startup script doesn't remain stuck (together with its shell and cat command) when started from GUI. It seems that the "interactive"...

In Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 we have Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani, the most "inconvenient" journalist (reporter) of them all (there are some more around, yes).

Re: Oolite Linux potentially unresponsive (stuck, crashed)
[...] Is that idea instead or on top of my draft? Instead. The current single script will have to suppress the input command (cat or replace it with read) part when the "desktop" parameter is passed, and allow it only when run without. In the same script you'll have to also implement the ...

Re: Oolite Linux potentially unresponsive (stuck, crashed)
You can always do with a command line parameter for a single script in the .desktop file, that only sends the notification and bypasses the input request when it's used, and does both when it's not.

Re: Oolite Linux potentially unresponsive (stuck, crashed)
From what I can tell, the " cat " command is used as a sort of " pause " command prompt batch file. Instead of advising to press " Ctrl-C to continue ", and use " cat ", we can advise to press " any key to continue " and use (e.g.) read -r -s -N 1 ju...
