I guess I should install wl-shell, because I’m on Wayland, right?

I use HDD, so I need to have a good animation during boot

hi guys, i recently wrote a script but i have a minor problem, at a certain point i need to type sudo password but it would be better for me to type the password at the beginning instead of waiting for the script to go on. i could execute the script as sudo, or i could put the line [ “$UID” -eq 0 ] || exec sudo bash “$0” “$@” at the beginning of the script, but I need to do some operations in my home, to which in the script i refer as $HOME. Obviously if I run the script as sudo, my $HOME is no longer /home/username (which is where i need to work) but /root. How can I achieve that?

sudo -E

-E, –preserve-env preserve user environment when running command
–preserve-env=list preserve specific environment variables

Wow. Linux seems to have the solution for everything 😅

since the 70’s hacking things on top of broken things to make things work.

So if I run sudo -E myscript i preserve my environment?
I read that sudo -u myuser myscript should do the same, but actually executing the script with sudo -u is just like not using sudo

sudo -u runs as the user specified
sudo -E runs as root, with the current user environment

and, of course, do not use sudo if you don’t need it. this is *really* easy to break your system.

Okk thank you very much

I know but I just need a couple of commands to use sudo in my script, out of 10-15 total commands

Hi all 👋 I’m getting this issue when starting Free Download Manager in KDE with Wayland. It works on Xorg.
% fdm
Failed to load client buffer integration: wayland-egl

qt.qpa.wayland: Attempted to load the following shells (“xdg-shell”, “xdg-shell-v6”, “wl-shell”, “ivi-shell”)
Do you know how I could fix it?

install any of those missing commands.

I guess I should install wl-shell, because I’m on Wayland, right? But I can’t find it

Do you have xdg-utils installed?

Yes, I have all of these
% pacman -Qs xdg

No clue then.

Is kwayland-integration installed?

Does anybody know where the ArchLinux image has to reside to fix this in gnome desktop?

I have upgraded, but still this problem does not seem to have solved. So for now, I am using the AppImage package of Libreoffice.

Have you tired reinstalling ?

Yes, already did that

Are you using fresh or still?

Reinstall the gnome-control-center package, its image is actually built-in in the binary

Hi guys, should I keep running bluetooth.service at the background all time? I wonder if is better to enable it only when I use it to avoid consuming resources.

reinstall didn’t work

If you don’t mind starting services only when you need them then that’s a perfectly viable approach.

Still. But tried the fresh version too. Same problem

Yes, I have it already 😔

If you’re on a laptop that works off charger, it’s better to start it manually

That suggests something else going on, outside of LibreOffice itself, e.g. have you installed additional plugins/extensions/

Error with fresh

No

Okay tnx

can someone build this package? i’m getting errors. https://github.com/fangfufu/httpdirfs
