JTAG interfaces to the hardware is even cooler. Gotta get a giant magnifier for that sort of access work. Glad to have helped. If you get into EXIF data. check out "photogammetry" as 2d still photos can be 'stitched' together to create awesome 3D and 3D+motion models. One of the key usages of HPC. If I can only stay healthy SfM (structure from motion) is my latest addiction It's just very very cool technology. Some folks are building 3D-motion models of the inside of their lab. Cover the wall with monitors and then animate the objects inside, work remotely (like a VR game) or walk into the home_lab and work as normal. Building your own, is where the fun is. Get a UAV pilot's license and a sub 1K drone and well, just let your imagination go wild! gqview -- nice piece of old software. I'll have to check it out.. it's age on sourceforge is a bit to worry about. I'd pack it up and put it in /usr/local/ or at least into a github/gitlab/gogs or wherever you archive codes. Lots of stuff is disappearing now, related to geo-tagging and image processing. I've pretty much settled on [ https://gogs.io ] Surely there are plugins for palemoon that yield up EXIF data? (btw palemoon-28.0.0 is very stable). Here are some random points of interest,should your 2D images lead to 3D and beyond; here's a good intro:: https://www.prusaprinters.org/photogrammetry-3d-scanning-just-phone-camera/ Here is the latest read on mixed reality:: https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2018/06/18/siggraph-2018-the-state-of-photogrammetry-in-real-time-graphics And if intel machines get 'out of control' well, we'll just have to jolt the some electrons with odd_spin:: https://github.com/ptresearch/IntelTXE-PoC All of this on gentoo? Sure, that's why I'm working on Hybrid-heterogeneous HPC gentoo clusters. But I'm AMD_Radeon_arm64 open source centric with my work. I'd be most appreciated if anyone can add more detail, list of FOSS codes, or other related packages and details. hth, James

Correction; the OS is not Windows or Android, but rather KaiOS. This is an Alcatel Go Flip. It gets bad reviews from people used to smartphones who expect easy-to-use wifi, bluetooth, email, and web browsing. The camera is mediocre too. I use the Go Flip mostly as a phone... dohhh. I like it because it's luddite and it has... * a physical keypad * a slot for a user microSD card. Media files, e.g. photos, can be pointed to go to my 32 Gig card. * a user-replacable battery. * a functional FM radio. For an antenna it needs to have ear/head phones plugged into "the jack they didn't have the courage to remove". * no Google Garbage constantly running in the background, so the battery lasts 10 or 11 days on standby. * the option to take any available usable frequency band, or to force 2G or 3G or 4G/LTE. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

Was it ever perfect? I have given up on relying on this feature especially since Chromium does not even launch after logging in again (has not happened in a long time). I just have keyboard shortcuts set up to get things back to how I want them (tiled in various ways, like 50% width, 25% width/height top-left/bottom-left/..., etc). -- Andrew

I remembered this after I read this message. I've also had the weird bug(?) resurface where it asks me twice for a lock screen password. Some time ago I fixed that with an `emerge -e --keep-going @world` but am waiting for cooler weather to let my PC chug through that again. Dan

I was sure I'd have heard all about it if anyone had been, but it was worth asking anyway. I would suspect hardware, but this is all I have to go on: 1. Smartd has been running regular tests on this NVMe disk and not reported anything. 2. I've now changed the partition layout to ensure I was using new silicon; I shrank the /boot partition from 2G to 0.5G, so all the other partitions started 1.5G earlier on the disk. 3. During all the reloading from an external drive I found a suspect USB port. I also noticed the UEFI startup process flickering the cursor around the screen before displaying the list of kernels. I haven't used that USB port since, and the flickering has subsided. 4. I can't imagine it's a memory failure because of the repeatability of the problems. So, things it isn't: memory, disk, power supply, software (identical USE etc. to before the problem appeared) - anything that would cause random errors. The only other thing I can think of to do is to combine the first two partitions into one: that is, the empty partition for the UEFI and the VFAT /boot. You can see, though, that I'm reduced to clutching at straws. -- Regards, Peter.

A tip: gzipping a 7 KB text file before attaching it is not particularly useful and makes it more difficult to view. If it were a plain text attachment, I could just open it in Gmail without leaving my web browser.

[gentoo-user] KDE reboot not preserving running applications
Hello list, Since about the time of the last batch of plasma upgrades (I forget whether it was applications, frameworks or Qt), every time I reboot the box from the KDE reboot dialogue, when I log in again I get duplicated apps and others with forgotten places and sizes. The attached screenshot shows a desktop with an empty KMail ready to receive imported messages and generally get going, together with gkrellm showing three computers. After a reboot I get "Too many clients" from the remote krells, the local krell is absent (and if I restart it it comes up in the centre of the screen) and Firefox attempts to run two instances. I have to pkill the lot and start them again. If I stop these programs before rebooting, all is well when I restart them later, so I suspect the KDE/plasma setup is the guilty party. I've reinstalled the complete system on bare silicon, created new accounts for myself, and anything else I can think of, just to be sure that I have nothing untoward hanging about. Is anyone else having this problem? -- Regards, Peter.
