Creating *.desktop files for WIndows/Wine applications, specify sometimes a Icon like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Game to start
Comment=Play this game on Steam
Exec=steam steam://rungameid/738520
Icon=steam_icon_738520
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game;

with Icon=steam_icon_738520. Is this extracted from the *.exe file and how do i get the name mentioned here? I know, that i can use the path to a *.png, but i would prefer to use the *.exe file itself.

On Samsung Phones. there is a function called "Auto Blocker". If this is enabled, this blocks installing apps from unknown sources and via USB and ADB. In principle, this is a useful feature, but it also prevents the installation of updates via F-Droid. Even if F-Droid is classified as trustworthy in general and can therefore theoretically install apps and updates automatically, activating this function prevents automatic updates. If this function is deactivated, new apps and updates are installed automatically on request.

Is there a way to activate this function and still receive automatic updates via F-Droid? Does the installation of the F-Droid.apk via ADB/USB change anything in this constellation?

As my time with linux, I created a lot of scripts. Some of them have input parameters and sometimes I just forget this parameters.

So I wonder if there is some way to create autocomplete parameters, like i autocomplete a path by pressing the tab key?

For example a script. ./test.sh can be completed with parameter-one, eg. ./test.sh parameter-one or ./test.sh parameter-two. If i type now ./test.sh followed by tab it should add parameter-one if i press tab again it should change to parameter-two.

How can I do that? I'm on bash…

When I send a notification with notify-send -i /path/to/my/icon.png "title" "message" , it appears wonderfully in Gnome 47.4. However, the icon is very tiny. According to the screenshots I saw, the icon can be very large. It is also obviously displayed in addition to the app icon. Is there a way to send such an icon in the message or another way to create desktop notifications?

Somehow I still seem to have a hard time dealing with Fediverse and Co. Currently with Pixelfed. I'm looking for hashtags like #eosr7 or #irishwolfhound, but no results will be found. But I created such posts myself. If you can't find results through the search, you can't add the hashtag to the following hashtags. If I click on such a hashtag in my posts, I can subscribe to it.

Why can't I find posts about the search?

I try to build a tower for fuel generators. I could get 4 generators at the bottom running. The fuel is inserted from the top and splitted 2 times to support the 4 generators. But now I would add another 4 generators on top of the existing 4.

But what ever I try, I don't get the fuel pump high enough. According to the height of a generator, the next floor is 4 walls above the current floor. If im right, this is 16 meters and pump mk II should pump 20 meters. But it doesn't work.

Has someone a idea?

Hi there. I know that Darktable can't do Imagestacking for photos of the MilkyWay. I have searched now for some time, but could find only Siril as Linux Alternative. But in most descriptions, it is stated, that Siril is not the best, when I have parts of the landscape on the horizon and i should only use it, when i have photos from the sky only.

Can someone recommend me a Linux native Imagestacking tool, which I can use also on photos with landscapes on the horizon?

In my case, the game freeze after the landing sequence on the planet, when i leave the pod. Playing via steam on Manjao Linux.

However, if I skip the start and the tutorial and start directly with Tier 1, everything is fine. Is this a known bug in 1.0?

I have connected my Samsung Q60 to WiFi via WPS. This works fine so far. But when i restart the TV, i have to reconnect every time via WPS again, since the TV doesn't remember the WiFi connection. If it is connected, it works fine so far. If i look at the router, i can see, that it is using always the same MAC address to connect, so this is not the issue.

Is there currently no way to write or answer direct messages?

I have played "Planet Crafter" before, in early access without any issues. But now I have seen that the 1.0 is released. For some reason, after the update, I couldn't get the game to start without a crash.

After playing and testing some things, like other Proton versions, GE-Proton and much more, I was about to give up.

But for some reason, I changed and installed the dev channel (1.0.2.x), instead of the stable 1.0.1 version, the game starts up again!

So if anyone has similar issues, you should try to switch to the dev version. Maybe this solves the problem.

BTW: My startup string is gamemoderun mangohud %command%

If i remember correctly, there was some space between posts in early versions. On 0.2.9 in card view, there is no space. Is there some way to get back this post divider, so that I can easier see where one post ends and a new one begins?
