weird to see how the weather is divided between areas

Poor you! On the other hand: 28 to 33 degrees forecasted in my holiday location, and I’ll have no AC. Just woods and the lake.

Ready for takeoff. Below: my daughter’s bag vs mine (right).

Sometimes /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-backlight.conf happens to be necessary. Something like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
EndSection

Temperatures and fan speeds on various machines may not be comparable. My Asus average temp. is 45 - 47°C at 2500 rpm when doing nothing special, and 53°C at 2800 rpm while playing The Witcher II.

If 1000 GB drive is really a must, I’d consider buying a laptop with such HDD and a place for another drive, to mount SSD into it. Alternatively you can dismount DVD and put a frame like this in its place:

I did so in my daughter’s Lenovo, mounted SSD drive, and now she dual-boots: Windows for gaming, and Antergos for educational purposes (she studies bioinformatics).

If it comes to my development machine, I replaced 1 TB HDD with 240 GB SSD. HDD is externally connected by USB 3.0, but I only make backups onto it. Having GNOME and Openbox installed, together with all the software I need, and the archive of all projects, I still have 144,8 GB available.

plus fishing

Haha! The most funny fact about my holiday: I’ll be getting up at 4 am for 12 days or so. Normally, I happen to go to bed at this hour.

@joekamprad In a week, at this time, I will be sipping cold beer at the lake, too.

I was wrong. One way or another - beach equipment strongly recommended.

@joekamprad In the Lower Silesia region, if I remember well? Watch out, it’s the Polish heat pole.

Last week in my place. Exaggeration, isn’t it?

You have a great opportunity to take it out and put the secondary ssd adapter.

Do you sometimes need to check if your laptop with hybrid graphics is currently using Intel or Nvidia graphics? In GNOME there was an extension for that. Out of boredom I took a look at its code, which resulted in a short script, that can be used in the Tint2 panel.

Save this as ~/scripts/tint2_bbswitch_status.sh and make executable:

#!/bin/bash

bb_status=$(cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch | awk -F ' ' '{print $2}')

printf '%8s\n%8s ' "Nvidia" "$bb_status  "

Then add the executor to the `~/.config/tint2/tint2rc’ file:

#-------------------------------------
# Executor 2
execp = new
execp_command = ~/scripts/tint2_bbswitch_status.sh
execp_interval = 2
execp_has_icon = 0
execp_cache_icon = 0
execp_continuous = 0
execp_markup = 0
execp_tooltip = 
execp_lclick_command = 
execp_rclick_command = 
execp_mclick_command = 
execp_uwheel_command = 
execp_dwheel_command = 
execp_font_color = #ffffff 100
execp_padding = 0 0
execp_background_id = 5
execp_centered = 1
execp_icon_w = 0
execp_icon_h = 0

Here you are:

@blimmo I was not aware of such hardware differences. For my hybrid graphics Bumblebee was enough to successfully expand desktop to the secondary display as placed right, left, above or below the primary one, and also to clone primary to secondary.

By the way: have you tried the nvidia-xrun script? I’ve just started my system this way, and switching displays works well, although fonts look a bit odd. Of course this would force your machine to use Nvidia all the time.

If your hardware is actually Optimus, I’d give up on nouveau and try following this guide, if I were you: https://antergos.com/wiki/en/hardware/bumblebee-for-nvidia-optimus.

In my OpenBox goes like silk !!!

Designed especially for Openbox!

Just to add some more info on what caused the problem:

Weird, seemed to only error when I used yay and the --noconfirm flag. Removing the flag but leaving the PKGBUILD files unaltered allowed the installation to complete successfully. md5sums already matched what you’ve posted below. Sorry for the false alarm.

@fernandomaroto said in Could you, please, check if my AUR package builds properly?:

Ah yes, you mean in /tmp folder, right?

Something like this. I’m afraid we’ll never know, as I’ve had no more feedback.

@keegan said in Could you, please, check if my AUR package builds properly?:

Would you mind if I put your package here on my Reborn Repository?

Actually this is nothing but a set of stuff I was missing on my Openbox setup. If someone else makes use of it, the pleasure will be all mine

@keegan Excellent! Thankfully I can alway count on a bunch of friends here.

@fernandomaroto Thanks! User’s machine must have used a cached .tar.gz file, while the source file name didn’t change, but the checksum did. I see no other explanation. In the future I’ll have to take care about different source file names for revisions, not for versions only.
