it would be nice if `man xdg-settings` deigned to mention it ;)

Hi guys, I dd the nonfree iso file to usb, when boot from usb, the underscore cursor keeps blinking, anybody want to help me troubleshoot this issue?
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:46:13
pingfloyd, thanks. i know about most of these. reviewing in depth
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:46:25
RickHull: also this is handy https://specifications.freedesktop.org/
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:47:21
hm, nothing interesting in `set | grep XDG`
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:47:26
so if for instance, you wanted to have alternatives in control, in your .desktop file you'd reference the alternative for the Exec=
somiaj 2017-01-29 11:47:38
noober: what was the exact dd command you typed out
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:48:16
pingfloyd, you're suggesting to edit a certain .desktop file?
noober 2017-01-29 11:48:33
somiaj: thank you for reply! command: sudo dd bs=4M if=Downloads/firmware-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb1
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:48:34
i was thinking i needed to point xdg to a different desktop file (i.e. chromium.desktop)
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:48:49
one sec, i'll give you an example
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:48:49
and i'm trying to find why and where it points to iceweasel
somiaj 2017-01-29 11:49:00
noober: the image is a full disk image, not a partition. of=/dev/sdb
somiaj 2017-01-29 11:50:08
RickHull: no but you could make your own desktop file www-browser.desktop that runs the desired link and, put it inside of $HOME and set it as default.
noober 2017-01-29 11:50:37
somiaj: so it has to be as "of=/dev/sdb" instead of "of ...sdb1" is that right? :)
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:51:05
RickHull: like see ~/.config/mimeapps.list
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:51:39
in there you'll see a bunch of references to .desktop files
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:51:42
yep
somiaj 2017-01-29 11:51:48
noober: correct, the image has boot info and a partition table inside of it, so you put it on the device so it writes all the boot and partition info on the device
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:51:51
none of which show up in xdg-settings --list
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:52:02
but i guess they are subproperties of the default-url-scheme thingie
zykotick9 2017-01-29 11:52:03
noober: additionally, you could use cp (it has easier syntax here) instead of dd "sudo cp firmware-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso /dev/sdb"
noober 2017-01-29 11:52:11
somiaj: thank you very much, im going to give it a new try
noober 2017-01-29 11:52:17
clear
noober 2017-01-29 11:52:20
sorry
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:52:25
that .desktop file is likely in ~/.local/share/applications/
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:52:45
i'm looking for the file that points to iceweasel.desktop
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:52:55
don't care to much for where iceweasel.desktop lives
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:53:51
so you could edit the referenced .desktop file so the Exec= line references /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:54:18
eh, not gonna do that if it's named iceweasel.desktop :)
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:54:26
then it will be controlled by alternatives instead of the selections in the DE
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:54:42
i think there should be a x-www-browser.desktop
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:54:48
and the default on debian should point to it
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:55:01
you could do that, but then you have to make mimeapps.list point to it
pingfloyd 2017-01-29 11:55:22
you could create a new .desktop file under ~/.local/share/applications/ and then in your DE select that one
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:55:45
i'm still having trouble finding the file that persists the setting
RickHull 2017-01-29 11:57:28
it's not in /etc/xdg or ~/.config via find xargs grep
somiaj 2017-01-29 11:59:42
RickHull: it just changes the mime type for text/html located int he file you were pointed at
somiaj 2017-01-29 11:59:58
RickHull: at least that is what it does here, ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:00:23
ok, I haven't explored ~/.local yet, must be in there
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:00:43
nope, hmm
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:00:58
I just ran a test and that is what is changed for me in that file
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:01:09
maybe you are using a mimeapps.list file located somewhere else on your system.
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:01:25
i don't have the string "iceweasel" in any file under ~/.config or ~/.local except in the hexchat logs
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:01:33
or /etc/xdg
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:01:41
maybe some defaults are in /usr/share
intx 2017-01-29 12:01:54
is there a console-based gui package manager available?
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:02:08
synaptic I believe
tomcres 2017-01-29 12:02:09
dselect?
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:02:10
RickHull: have you changed the settings or just using the default? What happens if you change it?
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:02:16
intx: aptitude
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:02:16
oh, maybe i'm thinking of dselect
intx 2017-01-29 12:02:38
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackageManagement says it's no longer recommended (dselect)
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:02:38
deselect is still around, aptitude curses based ui is better imo.
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:02:47
intx: use aptitude
intx 2017-01-29 12:02:49
aptitude has a gui? didn't know that :)

RickHull 2017-01-29 12:06:04

RickHull 2017-01-29 12:09:36
yeah, i'm on stretch and iceweasel is still hanging around
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:09:38
RickHull: did you check that it set it correctly (by running the get command)
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:09:45
but yes, it just links to firefox-esr
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:10:03
yep, just confirmed
somiaj 2017-01-29 12:10:27
it worked for me, I was able to change between firefox-esr, chromium, and google-chrome and it appeard in that file I pointed you at

RickHull 2017-01-29 12:13:49
nikoma, that partition table looks fuxored
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:14:01
7.5 GB device, with a 500+ GB first partition?
nikoma 2017-01-29 12:14:12
That's what I am asking
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:14:59
i think you need to rewrite the partitions and filesystems
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:15:05
if you want to mount it. just spitballing
nikoma 2017-01-29 12:15:37
Okay, I need to find out how, never done it yet
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:15:54
are you ok with wiping the device? do you want to attempt any sort of data recovery first?

Eryn_1983_FL: what de are you using? the ones I have used controlled it with their themes
nikoma 2017-01-29 12:16:31
RickHull: I never used the device yet, I don't have anything on it
RickHull 2017-01-29 12:17:03
I prefer parted to fdisk. but it's pretty straight forward to delete the existing partitions and create new ones

petn-randall 2017-01-29 12:27:37
Heston: How are you setting it?
Heston 2017-01-29 12:27:37
it's reading 1 when I check the value but ipv6 is still set. If I set it again, it disables ipv6, my network drops shortly after and restores ipv6 with it still set to 1
