[gentoo-user] Hatari: Cursor misplaced...
Hi, when starting Hatari, the ATARI ST emulator, the display of the emulated computer is shown in the original size. Hatari captures the mouse cursor and maps the movement to a second cursor on the ATARI ST screen. But I cannot move the cursor to the left most position (where the icons of the drives are displayed...so I cannot open a drive)... This is no longer the case, when I max the size of the emulator to the full screen size of my monitor. But this looks awful: The screen is distorted (4:3 vs. 16:9) and the resolution of the ATARI ST screen is MUCH to low for nowadays screens. Is there anythong know to fix that problem? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Cheers! Meino

I got the same problem yesterday. My setup was startx + StumpWM. I got "setblabla error: cannot open /dev/tty0 (permission denied)". A possible solution without changing anything unnecessary is to run startx as "startx -- vt1". No need to change permission/ownership of anything. It is just required that the user is in "video" group. No "tty" or "input" needed. I presume it is because your user does not have access to TTY other than its login TTY. So if you log in by "tty1", just start X in "vt1". Hope that helps somehow. Danny

Also - all above running as myself, although I get the same results with root or postgres. It looks like although I have 10 installed, I never initialized it, although 9.6 should work OK. > I'm now emerging the test version of pgAdmin4 to see if it makes any difference. > > Jack Hello Jack, if i remove the .pgadmin directory in my home i get - after a long wait a dialog box saying The application server could not be contacted. In the terminal it prints: -- cut -- Python path: "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages" Python Home: "" Webapp path: "/usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.py" NOTE: Configuring authentication for DESKTOP mode. -- cut -- Starting pgAdmin4 again i get the output and dialogs i wrote initially in this thread. I installed pgadmin4-3.4-r1 and it works. 3.5 has been released (https://www.pgadmin.org/) so I filed a version bump request (https://bugs.gentoo.org/670556).

ROFL Phillip sent me the PDF manual and I've been looking through it but couldn't find anything. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on it yet tho. Still, I was looking for a setting or some fix that goes in a config somewhere. I never thought it would be that easy. Thanks much. Krusader just may replace Dolphin all together. It has its good points for sure. Dale :-) :-)

I use Plasma, but not Konqueror or Akregator. Find the applications that work best for you. Just because you use Plasma doesn't mean you need to use the rest of KDE's applications ;-) My browser is Firefox, my email client is Thunderbird, my image viewer is eog (Eye of GNOME), etc, etc. I think my only KDE application is my file manager, which is Dolphin. I use plasma since it got stable (on KDEish stuff since gnome 3)... It is getting better with each emerge. I also dropped Konqueror as file manager, first because it was ~ for a time and the features was not that much needed as before. And Firefox and Thunderbird is also my choice. I usually tend to try to find QT5 based app* before other alternative but eventually I land by best working one (kdiff compared to Meld, and so on). S * even if it means using ~version I've been watching this thread -- didn't want to bring up plasma since there's been a lot of people who don't like it. When plasma first hit, it was a ball of crud -- slow, crashy, inconsistent, memory hog. However, it's been quite a while since then and, though I can't say that it's super-light on memory, it's not bad memory-wise, if you have the ram to spare (currently using around 160mb on my machine, 1 panel, a small handful of widgets). I also haven't really experienced the 'crashy" part in a while, though at its peak, I wrote a watchdog script for it. It looks good to me and there are themes which are flatter (my preference) or with more relief, as expressed as a preference elsewhere in this thread. Dolphin is (imo) quite good (does dual-pane too) and I stick to FF for web browsing. I'd heartily recommend qterminal over konsole, simply because it's lighter and faster (think aterm with pretty fonts). QDirStat is a real winner. If you're not on a ram-constrained machine (think < 2gig), then I'd recommend plasma. I can't speak to "native" dev environments as I tend towards the JetBrains spectrum (WebStorm, Rider, etc) and VSCode. The one blocker to note is that plasma expects a hardware-accelerated desktop. I found it to be incredibly unstable with the Nouveau drivers and super-slow with drivers like fb. I don't think you need super-special hardware -- even a reasonably modern Intel GPU might suffice -- but it's something to consider. -d
