Off Topic Chit Chat - (Silliness factor 5)

Yours seems to work just fine, lemme do what you just did and show you in a few.

:sweat_smile: Okay works but doesn’t work for what I wanted to do

wanted to ln all files in hypr directory to a target directory but only works with sudo… yet am the owner

Yep but I’m in my home directory. Does not even that work for you?

fishāÆ mkdir ccc
fishāÆ chmod ug-rw ccc
fishāÆ ln aaa ccc/bbb
ln: failed to create hard link 'ccc/bbb' => 'aaa': Permission denied

I’d have to sudo for this second one to work.

→ Mine doesn’t even say permission denied… It just creates but editing with vim does not reflect

lemme show you

šŸ§ā± ls -li                                        ~/.config/hypr
21260582 drwxr-xr-x   - yada  3 Mar 08:40 ī—æ yadasrules

I have noticed smth, while using ā€œEchoā€ It does do well but when using emacs the inode changes like above

Could the editor you are using affect changes in hardlinks…(notice the fancy numbers changed)

Ah, now I get it. Most editors do not rewrite the existing file, they rename it, make a new one with the previous name, then delete (or keep as backup) the old one.
That is to avoid potentially losing data if something goes wrong while writing.
If you need to link all the files, you can simply link the directory that contains them.
That one will stay in place.
You can use a symlink also.

Never knew X.org was responsible for wayland, now It feels like Garuda maintainers maintaining

:joy: just a metaphor… no stray bullets. :sweat_smile:, in my head— I always assumed xorg and wayland are like enemies. Just have to read more.

So it’s perfect for Apple computers because they’re 3X the price of other similar hardware, WTF. :rofl:

I removed .local, .config, .kde4 & .cache folders from the home directory. I think this should be sufficient to reset all settings…

Edit:
It doesn’t seem to remove everything sudo rm -rf .local/. Unable to install updated versions of plugins, getting warning folder already exits in .loca/....

I think I will do a fresh install…

@dr460nf1r3, could you please update the dragonized edition iso if possible?
It’s dated 29.10.2023

We are working on a new major release to contain those changes.

Great!
Any tentative date for that?

Maybe I will take a break from KDE till that comes…
Also I don’t want to get distracted playing with plasma settings trying to customise it until my exams are over…

Yes, lots of this. It won’t let you install the updated plasma 6 versions (if there are any, very few at this time) if the old plasma5 versions exist on your system, which means you have to hunt them down and remove them manually.

Theming files are a mess as well, some of the old plasma5 versions work, such as window decorations, splash screens , but the global theme files don’t. Once again, will need to do some sorting and deleting. Overall, best to do a fresh install. I have made it work for now, but when I get time, I am going to do a fresh install to clear out all the old plasma5 files/settings.

Well, I found an easier way.
Boot into a USB live session and delete local, .config, & .kde4. It cleans it all up…
There is no need to reinstall!
