Off-Topic / Re: Fillng in pdf forms - what are the options? (TMI isn't just a fun tourist spot)
Last post by cat herders of linux -
So as i was amazed to hear firefox was an option i tried it out.  All seemed well until i hit a checkbox and i checked one box but it filled both.  This is the problem i have been having with these forms.  Tried both firefox and esr.

Tried to attach the pdf but this error comes from the forum:

dinit / Dinit: ly doesn't start, permission denied error
Last post by tozzemon -
Hey, everyone! I installed `ly-dinit`, but it doesn't start. The command `sudo dinitctl start ly` shows:

Quote
Service 'ly' failed to start.
Reason: execution of service process failed:
                 Stage: executing command
                 Error: Permission denied

Even if I run it from the Root user profile, it shows the same. The system reboot just throws me in a TTY session. The `sudo dinitctl enable ly` tells me that it's already enabled:

Quote
dinitctl: service already enabled.

Also, if I launch `ly` just from the console by running `ly-dm`, the display manager appears, but shows "failed to access console".

Maybe I do something wrong? How can I put it to work? Thanks for any help.

Off-Topic / Fillng in pdf forms - what are the options? (TMI isn't just a fun tourist spot)
Last post by cat herders of linux -
Recently I've been bestowed with a section 8 housing voucher such that i could in reality move out of washngton, dc and some place more desirable (sans pot smoke) in any of the 50 states of the US.  But before ditching the DC I have to do another year here and so I have been looking for places i might like better than where i am now and In my apartment search i have become inundated with requests for 50$ to file applications and nearly all of those applications get emailed to me in pdf form that i'm expected to fill out and email back.  I don't have easy access to or money to pay to print the forms, hence my need for a tool to fill them out and save the info and email it back.

Applications & Software / Gamepad Compatibility
Last post by aqua1166 -
I'm looking for advice on which controller would be better for GNU/Linux gaming:
the GameSir Nova Lite or the EasySMX T39.
I want good trigger [racing] and dpad [old games].
Additionally, does the EasySMX T39 support Bluetooth and gyro functionality out of the box on Linux?
Lastly, I’m curious about the differences between Xinput and NS Pro for Linux gaming, as I primarily use PCSX2 and don’t use Steam much.

GameSir Nova Lite - https://www.gamesir.hk/products/gamesir-nova-lite
EasySMX T39 - https://www.easysmx.com/products/easysmx-t39-and-t39-pro-switch-controller-with-hall-joystick

I apologize if I'm in the wrong place to ask this.

Applications & Software / Re: experimenting with lxqt 2.1
Last post by Artist -
To accommodate for the LXQT/Labwc combination the following packages were added to the Galaxy repository a few days ago:
- lxqt-wayland-session
- labwc
- libsfdo

As per the LXQt Wayland Session section on https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/releases/tag/2.1.0 multiple Wayland compositors are supported:
This is a new component that allows choosing a Wayland LXQt session in LXQt Session Settings. It supports Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland, Sway, River and Niri. It adds "LXQt (Wayland)" to the items of your desktop display manager (e.g., SDDM). If you want to use it, make sure to choose a Wayland compositor from the drop-down menu of LXQt Session Settings → Wayland Settings → Wayland compositor. Optionally, a supported Wayland screenlocker command may also be selected if available.
