Re: Is there a script or shortcut to tile all open windows?

@greengeek

I would settle for something that displayed the title bar of each window

Right click on the title bar and select shade/unshade (JWM). It will retain the original position of the title bar. It can also have a keyboard shortcut.

Re: Is there a script or shortcut to tile all open windows?

Try Whaw. I've mentioned it before. Works well with JWM. No it's, not a one-click solution, but it's quick enough once you've got used to it.

Re: How to make a shotrtcut key to kill xdotool?

You could run Htop, press F4 (filter) then enter .sh in the box. It will show any running process containing ".sh" in the name, which is likely to be at the end.

Go to the main menu, Desktop > Customise Look and Feel.
You can change themes, font size, cursor etc.
Changing the font size for GTK2 will change it for GTK3 as well, and vice versa.

Re: I am stuck on sym links

Was the USB stick mounted? An obvious thing, but easy to overlook at first. I have a desktop symlink for a programme on a partition which is not mounted on boot up. It shows as an orange triangle with an apostrophe until I mount the partion.

Clicking on Control Panel FAQ does nothing in Fatdog

Under the Network tab, clicking on FAQ does nothing.
Looking in the .desktop file, it points to a file (Networking.md) which doesn't exist.

Code: Select all

##Exec=defaultbrowser /usr/share/doc/faqs/Networking.html
Exec=mdview /usr/share/doc/fd-help/Networking.md

Networking.html is still there though.

Re: interpreting the diff command

The files are in the same folder, but Cobaka is first running them through xxd (which I think has something to do with hexdumps). This means it is not really a diff problem, as another process is involved.
That's why I suggested just using diff.

Re: Bug: USB port designations keep incrementing (Fossapup64 9.5)

I have a dodgy external USB drive, that loses connection occasionally. As it was not unmounted, when it reconnects, it uses a new mount point. This will increment each time it happens. I usually just delete the unwanted mount points (when unmounted of course). This does look like a hardware issue.

Re: Files selection

It will work in list view, but can be a little fiddly. If you get the pointer between the files and it stays as an arrow (not a hand with pointy finger) then you can drag and select.

Re: Flashing Red Battery Symbol

Not a very sophisticated approach, but try unplugging the power supply, see if the indicator changes, then plug back in. I don't have Slacko, but on Fatdog the battery indicator usually goes red when full, until I 'reset' it as described.
