Leider weder noch. Den Gute Frage Thread hatte ich auch entdeckt. Vlt versuche ich nochmal da Kontakt aufzunehmen.

Ich kenne leider die anderen, habe diese aber wirklich rauf und runter gehört. Darum wollte ich die jetzt für meine Kinder fertig machen.

Auf Wunderwolke gibt's den song / die Kassette leider nicht. Aber danke :)

 

Moin, ich möchte ein Paar Tonies für meine Kinder und Patenkinder mit der Kassette im Bild bespielen (Spielen & Lernen - Kinder-MusiCassette 1992). Glücklicherweise gibt es das auf YouTube, sodass ich mir die Songs daraus zurecht schneiden konnte. Leider fehlt da aber das erste Lied "Obstsalat" von Rüdiger Weiß. Dieses Lied ist auf Gedeih und Verderb nicht online zu finden.

Vielleicht hat das ja einer von euch und kann mir das zur Verfügung stellen. :)

Yeah this seems to be the way to go. Thanks!

Will try that, thanks!

It's configured to use latest GE-Proton.

Guess I'll use devilutionx :D

I recently bought Diablo 1 via GoG and wanted to install it on my Dell Latitude for couch sessions. I installed it via Heroic and everything seemed fine, but after the Blizzard splash, the game stays black. Sometimes, when I tab out, some menu texts appear in the tab switcher thumbnail, but thats about it. I fumbled around with the graphics settings in the pre-game settings window (which is really tiny) and tries window mode, different resolutions etc. but nothing changed.

It feels a bit like a "not good enough graphics card" but... well, its Diablo 1...

Is there something I can do, or try, to make D1 playable?

It's Dutch, not German.

The Ubuntu live USB made no difference. Same problem plus Ubuntu kept crashing stuff all the time, so I guess I will stay on Fedora and just live with it.

[–] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right?

Yes.

I am not an expert with GRUB at all. For some reason, this sounds very aggressive and with a high chance of side effects. Theres nothing of worth on the device though, so I guess I'll give it a try.

[–] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

Oh, Live USB is a good idea.

I really wanted to give Fedora a try, but maybe the time has come to give Ubuntu a second chance, when theres no solution.

[–] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

I don't think so. If the movement starts outside the "dead zone", the touchpad works fine even within the "dead zone". Only if the movement starts in the dead zone, it's actually dead and its exactly the size of the "edge scroll zone", when the option is enabled.

I had a Dell Latitude at work a few years ago, I don't know if it was this exact model number, but the same series. And iirc on there was a driver option to disable the "dead zone" under microsoft.

 

I recently got my hands on a Dell Latitude E7470 and installed Fedora Workstation. Even though I enabled two finger scroll (and disabled touchpad edge scroll), the right side of the touchpad still has a dead zone of considerable size. So, when I start a mouse movement too far on the right side, it wont register.

I tried a few things, like adding quirk configs, but the zone is still there. Bios had no option to disable. (I reinstalled with UEFI, prior installation was legacy uefi / bios, so I have to give it a look again).

Does someone have a way to disable the dead zone?

Also, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. From what I could research, it is a broadcom device with officials drivers for MS and Ubuntu. I tried some stuff to get this thing running, but it didn't work out. I still have to try a bios update after the reinstall. Is there a way to get this thing running under Fedora? It's not a crucial feature, but a nice to have for sure.

There's no need. Zen exists on Linux and works just fine.

 

What is it with Android, that it constantly wants me to use Live Wallpapers?

I switched to a plain android device from Xiaomi and I really like the calm experience. No ads, no duplicate services etc. But one thing still bothers me: Live Wallpapers.

Why is Android so keen on activating live wallpapers? I didn't want them on my old device and always thought it was a Xiaomi thing. But now I still get a screen every once in a while and after each system update. Why? What's in it for Android that it is so obsessed with fucking live wallpapers that I constantly have to reaffirm that I really REALLY don't want them?

edit: Solved.

The title is a bit theatrical. My google account tells me my storage is full and urges me to buy more storage. The problem is, that on my new phone G Photos just started to put all my photos into the cloud.

How can I remove my photos from the cloud without losing them locally on my phone? I tried logging out of Photos, but then I cannot access my photos. I just requested an archive download via takeout.google.com so I hopefully have a backup, but I still need to get rid of all the photos in the cloud to free up the storage.

I recently started a home server and want to move to selfhosted services, but that will take it's time, so for now, I am forced to continue google services.

Can you help me?

 

I'm in the means of buying a mini pc for selfhosting stuff. My main reasons are sailing the high seas for movies and series and hosting my families photos, videos to escape gdrive. I'm thinking about some kind of DMS / digitalizing paperwork and mail in the future.

I casually look into all kinds of software that could do the task and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS? But all the NAS Foss stuff seems to run on their own OS. Can my Pirate Ship run on that? I feel like the diversity of solutions is making this very opaque for me.

E-Reader recommendations (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi,

My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

Update: I did research based on your recommendations. Thanks for all the input, that was way more than I expected! I settled for the Kobo Clara Color since it seemed to almost perfectly match my needs and Kobo and the model itself got heavily recommended here and on the web.

Hi folks,

I got a new Xbox Series X Controller (Model 1914). I had Xbox One controller before.

With xpadneo installed I had basically no problems running my xbox one controller. It connected via BT with no issues and workes in games really well wired and wireless.

The new controller on the other hand, works really well via cable, but does not connect via BT. I can find it, I can pair it, but I cannot connect to it.

xpadneo readme says Series X needs a BT stick with BLE so I bought one, but that did not solve the problem (I'm not sure if BLE needs to be activated or how to do it rn).

I've been trying tmux and followed a video that showcases and offers a prebuilt config for styling and plugins. Something happended (guess I did something wrong?) the styling broke and I decided I'll go bare bones and customize to my needs when needed instead of using preconfigured stuff. I deleted all configs and caches I could find with fzf and even reinstalled tmux, but still some broken styling is present and makes it unpleasent to work with. Some of my configs seem to be present even after uninstall, as the prefix is still C-Space instead of the default. There are some oh-my-zsh subfolders that contain tmux. I don't know if those have been there before and I also don't know, if I can delete them without breaking the next thing.

I'm on a MacBook and installed tmux via brew.
