Installing AS (as well as other IntelliJ stuff) from AUR makes no sense. Firstly: you’ll be out of date most of the time. Secondly: to apply updates downloaded by the Studio itself you’ll need to launch AS as root. If you happen to open some of your projects still running AS as root, you may be unable to open it as a regular user.

Just download AS from the website and unpack somewhere in your home folder. Start from bin/studio.sh, and ‘Create Desktop Entry’ from the Configure menu.

Encouraged by Johan Malm, I added the [menu] argument to t2ec commands. It automates binding jgmenu context menus to executors.

t2ec --update menu command in action:

I’ve just finished packaging the scripts which are not psutil-based into the AUR package. Sample usage may look like this:

To get them all, you need to install psuinfo and t2ec packages. Thanks in advance for feedback.

@judd Thanks! :)

Actually I’ve got hardly any experience at shell scripting, but this project is an opportunity to learn.

t2ec testing package available.

@joekamprad If you’d like your desktop to look exactly as you want, Openbox is a good idea.

Almost all of my wallpapers come from Wallhaven. To avoid seeing manga and beautiful, half-naked girls, I usually type “abstract” in the Search box.

Most of the scripts in the picture, that currently appear under their own names, are being packaged into the t2ec package right now. They will have common syntax: t2ec --command [argument]. Coming soon.

I’m about to make a package of several scripts, which are currently standalone. See README for details.

@edneyhelene In case you needed even more icons / indicators, you may find them here:

While playing with my collection of Tint2 executors what I hated most was that commands assigned to mouse events would execute again and again after each click, even if previous instances were already running. I expected them to launch the command if not yet running, or just bring focus to the command window. Having no better idea on how to achieve this, I wrote a short script, which searches the process ID of the name given and tries to find a window by the process ID. If found, it’ll be given focus, instead of running the command again.

Learn more here and/or install the rof-git package from AUR.

/etc/xdg/tint2/tint2rc

@judd Thanks! It’s useful to me while applying on various machines. Just $ git clone and copy - paste. :)

As I mentioned some time ago, I moved my collection of scripts and executors for the Tint2 panel on GitHub. Couple of new ones appeared recently. Below you may see most part of them running on my laptop. Possibly you’ll pick something useful to you.

Hi,

Recently I came across a post on how to display CPU load in the Tint2 panel using python-psutil. As it’s a really simple and flexible solution, I thought I could add some more info to the executor:

The script and howto available on my Tint2 executors collection.

Looks well here:

You mean this area?

Or you can waste some time on turning blocks with my mouse

Recently I came across a Radeon graphics related issue: it turns out that the xbacklight brightness-related commands do not work with it. After a short research, I found the light-git (AUR) package, which seems to work as well on Intel as on Radeon card. I added light-git as an optional obhud dependency. If found, light will be used instead of xbacklight to increase/decrease the brightness level.

Also several bug fixes have been added to the obhud package.

See the project site for more info.

@joekamprad I’m on the very same version, and it behaves differently than previous versions did: hp-setup started showing GUI again.

Wooohooo!

[Edit] Let’s see…

[Edit #2] Yes, it does!

Are you sure Windows is necessary? I came across this video: How to update a Toshiba Satellite BIOS by CD. Personally I updated BIOS in my Asus twice, having never ever Windows installed. All I needed was a flash disk drive.
