"X"...in a box: January 2015
http://xinabox.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Solved] more on Arch sound (fix for chipmunk sound). Cripple and minimize Pulse-Audio - some programs require its presence, so minimize it to whatever minimal hooks applications require. Configure ALSA as application-friendly as possible. Install alsa-oss so apps seeking the older OSS daemon do not fail. Crippling Pulse-Audio without removal. You can try a straight-up # pacman -Rs pulseaudio. And replacing its lines with. Since a...
"X"...in a box: March 2014
http://xinabox.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Monday, March 24, 2014. Xdg-mime for media files. Links: general guidelines thread. After I upgrade a browser or install a new file manager, clicking on links opens an undesired application: a browser, mail client, etc. These have to do with MIME settings. There are two main MIME categories: 1) local HDD files, and 2) behavior when encountering remote files via a browser. Probably one of "xdg-utils"). Xdg-mime. But, at first glance, xdg-mime. Has my thanks&...

An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. PulseAudio reconsidered - hail OSS, ALSA. Links: arch wiki pulseaudio. Record system in pulseaudio (GUI). Record system in pulseaudio (CLI). Best disable link so far (3/2014). OSS - still good. My Linux use began when OSS was the only sound daemon communicating with hardware. OSS had bugs, but it was straightforward, and therefore was a good foundation which should have been developed further instead of dumped. When I wanted to...

An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Solved] arch - update and java. Of course, or Oracle wouldn't be able to profit from licensing its more user-friendly proprietary versions of Java. What has the above meant to me operationally? When upgrading Arch with OpenJDK onboard, I've sometimes experienced conflicts which required a solution of, 1) uninstalling Java, 2) running the Arch update(s), and, 3) reinstalling or upgrading to the latest OpenJDK. Java-runtime-common...
"X"...in a box: February 2015
http://xinabox.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Monday, February 16, 2015. Xorg odds and ends, xorg.conf. In Arch it's become slightly difficult to implement xterm settings. The way Xorg initializes has changed - it no longer directly loads. Instead, they are called by .xinitrc. Sometimes, this extra step fails and your xterm will look vanilla. Troubleshoot: save either .Xresources. I kept .Xresources. And therefore deleted .Xdefaults. But I could have switched this. Add your xterm customizations. Get th...

Cancel -a sometimes doesn't work. In that case, one must individually cancel each named printjob, eg "cancel Brother-001", "cancel Brother-002", etc. USB connection (10 minutes).

"X"...in a box: screencast and tablet notes
http://xinabox.blogspot.com/2015/08/screencast-and-tablet-notes.html
An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Saturday, August 15, 2015. Screencast and tablet notes. These are a few mathematics screencast notes. A surface to write equations. Against the cost of a Wacom. Or the price of a full-blown pressure sensitive tablet PC, I think I saved money with this $65 Huion. It plugs in works with Xournal. Out of the box. I haven't yet played with programmable keys on its side - I'll do a separate post downstream. Meanwhile, Xournal. Itself is found using yaourt. S code...

http://xinabox.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Friday, August 23, 2013. Solved] removable media - gid and uid fix. I typically maintain uniform UID's and GID's across the different distros I try. It seems to contribute to less troublesome back-ups which come with distro-hopping. Exited X to command line. Logged off - "exit". Logged in as root. Created group 1500 (. Groupadd foo -g 1500. Moved "patriot" from group 100 into group 1500 (. Usermod -g 1500 patriot. Verified patriot was in desired groups.

An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Medieval Cyrllic (aka "Old Church Slavonic", "Old Bulgarian") fonts in LibreOffice. The only way I've seen this work is to take the TTF fonts created for Microsoft Word and adapt them. LibreOffice appears to require not only the TTF files, but also the associated AFM and PFB files. These cannot be created perfectly, but with font-forge, it's possible to produce versions of AFM and PFB which are reasonably close. PAM (which I hate.

An idiot attempts to use graphical ("X") Linux. Saturday, August 15, 2015. Solved] first run of zotero back-up. I had a chance to recently attempt my first Zotero. Back-up and resoration. I have the stand-alone version, which I then link to a few browsers with browser plug-ins (see bottom of page). In other words, Zotero. Installs as a regular application, available on or offline.
