Re: How to discover latex fonts

[Michael Hennebry]

Antykwa Toruńska Condensed is at 
https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/antykwatorunskacondensed/ .

Somehow I discovered that I needed
texlive-antt-10:svn18651.2.08-65.fc38.noarch to use package anttor ,
so I installed it with dnf.
No go:
LaTeX Info: Font shape T1/anttc/mx/n has incorrect series value `mx'.
It should not contain an `m'! Please correct it.
Found on input line 32.
Likewise for lines 33..35 .
I have 17 lines:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[condensed,math]{anttor}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\fontsize{140pt}{210pt}\selectfont
\begin{document}
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
Hello world!
\end{document}

I got output, but the \fontsize definitely did not take.

What now?

I expect it's that motherboard firmware knows how to activate two kinds
of input devices - PS/2 via the emulation of the legacy chips that date
back to the 1980s, and USB.  A PCIe device is neither of those.  It's
not just a matter of initializing the device, it has to be recognized
and handled by the firmware, and it's such a rare thing, none do.

This would be for use in a script - I'm assuming someone would use it as
part of an automated backup script or when it's not possible to be at the
keyboard to enter that passphrase.

Remember "expect"? It sounds reminiscent of that from the 90s.

From what I'd read, that ought to be the case with any PCI-E based
card.  Apparently the slots aren't dealt with early enough (they
certainly can't be if they require drivers).  Although that doesn't
make sense with other things - a graphics card can show a pre-boot
screen, for instance (there's obviously some built-in functionality,
even if it's more basic than post-boot).

Let's see how far along your boot gets before the hang. Instead of using 
nomodeset
in place of "rhgb" and "quiet", remove them and add simply a 3. If you land a
shell prompt, then the problem is in the GUI somewhere (GDM or Wayland or ???). 
If
you are able to login, try:

startx /usr/bin/icewm

If you get a command not found error, do:

sudo dnf install icewm

and try again.

Also you should be able to access the journal from a prior unadulterated boot
attempt either the same way, or having used nomodeset, which may have needed
clues. IOW, try to boot normally into a lockup, then on the immediately 
following
boot, use nomodeset (or if it works, 3) and login. Then:

sudo journalctl -b -1 > somefile.txt

Then attach somefile.txt to your bug report.

I have done that plenty of times, taken pictures but to no avail, it did not 
make a difference.  I had to revert to old kernel to get successful boot.  

Thanks to Felix's suggestion I was able to boot the kernel, but the one 
difference in my machine secure boot is enabled.  When booting the screen/menu 
is hidden and I cannot press e to edit the command line to boot.  So I 
appeneded nomodeset to the kernel line removing rhgb and quiet from it.

You don't need sshpass if you have the private key matching the public

gpg decrypt from a script

[Alex]

Hi, I recently found an article on using sshpass with gpg to script the
process of connecting to a remote host using a password, while also
encrypting that password in a file using gpg.

$ gpg -d -q .sshpasswd.gpg | sshpass ssh u...@srv1.example.com

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/ssh-automation-sshpass

However, I think it requires having previously stored your key passphrase
into the keyring stored in memory, correct? So this script would not work
as advertised for this reason. Is that correct?

Also, I'm not new to Linux administration, but somewhat new to sshpass.
Does it only work with ssh passwords or public keys as well?

I already indicated in thread, his, as indicated in OP, is identical to mine:

  Device-1: Intel RocketLake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 730] vendor: ASUSTeK
driver: i915 v: kernel arch: Gen-12.1 process: Intel 10nm built: 2020-21

I can't as yet reproduce, but thread hasn't shown much about his software
configuration, which more than likely differs, with me using TDE/TDM and F39's
ancient Xorg 1.20.14, on NVME/EXT4, and with no Fedora bootloader installed.

Edit the boot command line to remove "rhgb" and "quiet".  Then you can 
see where it's getting stuck.

I side stepped the problem by installing fop-hyph.jar alongside fop:

$ find /usr -name '*.jar' | grep fop
/usr/share/java/fop/fop-core.jar
/usr/share/java/fop/fop-events.jar

/usr/share/java/fop/fop-util.jar
/usr/share/java/fop/fop.jar
/usr/share/java/fop/fop-hyph.jar

Hyphenate is working as expected in all Java environments I tested.

Re: PCI-E to PS2

[murph nj]

The system that I built in 2020 has a PS/2 port, and an IBM model M
works great on it.

I've also had good luck with the Monoproce USB-PS/2 adapters on a
variety of systems.

I was always partial to the IBM Selectric typewriter keyboards.  But,
these days, I'm using $30 mechanical gaming cheapies from Kmart.  For a
touch-typist (me) they're reasonably good.  Better than many of the
pretend high quality $100+ ones you see in many stores.  They're
probably *ALL* made for $3 in China, anyway.  About the only things
I'd complain about them on them are too noisy and too sharp edges on
the keys.  I do prefer keyboards that clunk rather than squoosh, but
clackety-clack ones drive me around the bend.

You might just have to try a few different *active* converters, then. 
Or, go the whole hog, and get one of those overblown Raspberry Pi kits
just used as a keyboard converter.

That, or get yourself a newer Unicomp...

At least an old-school keyboard doesn't have those extra media keys
which are a non-standard extension to deal with.  Though the really old
ones are the 5-pin DIN connectors (XT/AT), not PS/2, and may require
more power to run.

I was surprised that my 2017/2018-era motherboard still had PS/2 ports
on it.  I dunno if any motherboards have hidden ones (jumpers on the
motherboard for a flylead to a socket panel).  Daughterboard PCI-E
interfaces may allow you to use PS/2 keyboards once booted up, but
aren't likely to be working before that.  Boot menus may be a problem. 
You could keep a crappy cheapy USB keyboard stashed away for if you
need to change BIOS or UEFI settings.

I just ignore any gibberish it prints and do the update again,
always seems to work for me.

After getting this many times, I finally figured out I need to
manually run /etc/cron.daily/google-chrome to get new keys
(the install from the google rpm sets this up, but doesn't
always get run in time for the next update to work).
