Looking for a verilog simulator on Linux.

I am working on a college project and need a verilog simulator for it. I tried using online Verilog compilers but they are cumbersome to use and don't show waveform. I used to work on modelsim on Windows and it worked like charm. I need something similar.
Can someone help me out please.

looking for a terminal emulator

Hello,

I'm looking for a terminal emulator, but I'm not sure which one to choose.

The features I would use are :
\- scrollback
\- hiding scrollbar / menus / borders
\- dim when the window is not focused
\- easy copy/paste


So I don't need multiple tabs or windows or anything else; I can do that fine with i3.

I tried st, which was fine except that you can't scroll up with the mouse while selecting text, which I use a lot.
I also tried xfce4-terminal, but it won't dim when it is not selected. Other than that, I liked it because I could hide menubar, toolbar and borders. Too bad :/

​

So, from all the terminal emulators, is there one that has these features, while staying simple ?

TIL Firefox Profiler makes an awesome GUI for `perf`

**TL;DR:** this is a visualization of a `perf` trace: https://perfht.ml/3abOQR3

perf is a great tool for performance measurement, but has a fairly convoluted command-line UI. AFAIK the only other `perf` GUI is [hotspot](https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot). Turns out Firefox Profiler also supports `perf` and it's much better - it supports stack charts in addition to flamegraphs and has tons of options for interactive navigation and filtering.

Best of all, publishing a profile is 2 clicks and then *anyone with a web browser* can interactively view your recording. Sharing profiling data in bug reports or pull requests has **never** been this easy!

Using Firefox Profiler with `perf` is documented [here](https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/./guide-perf-profiling). You need to add `--call-graph dwarf` to `perf record` to see function names like in the trace linked above.

The Future of the Linux Desktop

Hi everyone,

This is my interpretation, or, rather, logical extension of sorts, of the "There is no Linux Platform" article series. I think most people with a vision for a better, more supported, and eventually more popular Linux desktop should read it. Even if you don't agree with the message presented there, I think it is very probable it will be of interest to you. It has been posted around this sub a couple of times already, but here are links:

https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2019/12/04/there-is-no-linux-platform-1/

https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2020/03/25/there-is-no-linux-platform-2/

I think a Gnome OS,
- a rolling release closely following upstream,
- with a package manager closely integrated with the desktop's facilities for interacting with it,
- with a systemd/NetworkManager/Pulseaudio low level user space stack integrated with the desktop,
- with Flatpak as the sole user-facing application framework, - with a CLI package manager for developer/server programs that installs in the homedir,
- and a simple toggle switch in Gnome Settings that simply greps both lspci and an internal DB to find appropriate proprietary or not, according to the user's preference, drivers.

One could say that this is just Ubuntu, or Fedora, or Elementary, or PopOS, or Manjaro, or even Clear Linux. But in my eyes, all of those should unite to a single project orchestrated by a committee with all those projects, the Gnome Foundation, SUSE and Red Hat.

Enterprise distros like RHEL and SUSE, server focused ones like Debian and CentOS and distros popular with frantic futzers like Gentoo and Arch (I use Arch (gnome) BTW, and yet I don't deny that I would switch to such OS in a heartbeat) would probably still run independently. But the general public, and existing Linux users, will have a single place to download Linux from, with ample documentation and tutorials.

Linux is about choice and modularity, and it will stay this way. Alternative desktop projects could patch their existing product to comply with the spec so to speak and to integrate with the infrastructure creating an equally well integrated platform. TTYs, an actually useful terminal, and easy configurability would be preserved.

Feel free to voice your opinion and thoughts or propose ideas to extend this vision. I am in no position to build something like this, but I would like to hear the community's opinions and ideas.

Edit: Cut sentence.

Help connecting to local 'server' laptop while the 'server laptop is connected to the internet using NordVPN

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is a difficult or easy (or even possible request) but I'm not an expert in networking so I thought that I would ask you guys andsee if you have any ideas.

In my home I have my personal laptop and my 'server' laptop. The server laptop is just acting as a file server. Presently I connect to Usenet and torrents on my personal laptop and when the hdd is full i just transfer it across to my server via external hdd.

What I would like to do is set up my server so that it is running the usenet and bit torrent and can download directly to my hdd's (I'm using sabnzb and transmission so I can access the applications on my personal machine via a web browser).

I installed the applications and everything works fine...except for when I turn NordVPN on in my server. At which point the web browser connection does not work.

I imagine that this is occurring because the server is given a new (public internet facing) and so i can no longer access it. I've come across the following solutions:

1. Setting my router to use NordVPN. But i would prefer to use wireguard as I am presently doing instead of switching to openvpn
2. I have wifi on my server laptop. I presume (though would require more research) connect via that. But I don't know how to do this (I presume it would be difficult) and it seems like going through a lot to access my file server (plus while I am streaming over my routers wifi I would imaging that there are serious bandwidth restraints doing so)
3. Connecting to my NordVPN server laptop over the net. While i imagine is the easiest option I think it would rule out my streaming from my hdd
4. I have a spare raspberry pi and i think that I could route all my internet traffic through there. But I've never set that up before (I imagine it involves setting up a firewall, gateways, rout tables,...) but I don't even know what this is called and am not sure even what to do here. And I don't know if the pi could handle that much bandwidth (though it is just two computers)

At this point I am just browsing random tutorials online to trying to find something that fits my needs but I feel like I might just go on like this for months.

If anyone has any ideas then let please let me know.

Call for help: please help us convince Mozilla to give us back the old address bar behavior in Firefox on Linux!

Hello.

The last version of Firefox (75) made some controversial changes regarding the address bar.

One of those changes was (quoting from their release notes):

>On Linux, the behavior when clicking on the Address Bar and the Search Bar now matches other desktop platforms: a single click selects all without primary selection, a double click selects a word, and a triple click selects all with primary selection

Many users absolutely **hate** this, myself included. Worse yet, they did not only change the default - they also simultaneously made it impossible to go back to the old behavior by removing the pref that controls this.

So now I'd like to ask for help - *if* you also don't like this or you *do* like it but you still think that the users should be able to choose (instead of being forced by Mozilla) then please do the following:

1. Register an account on [Mozilla's bugzilla](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/).
2. Go to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=1621570](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621570)
3. Do **not** comment; instead click on "Details" (It's above the "Attachments") and then click the button to add your vote. (You'll have to check the checkbox on the next page and apply it.)
4. That's all. Thank you!

Pulseaudio can turn your computer into Bluetooth speakers for your phone

I don't know how many of you knew this, but I certainly didn't and it can come in quite handy during quarantine. It all seems to be automatic on Arch, so I imagine it is on most distros.

If you add the pulseaudio-bluetooth package, then open /etc/pulse/system.pa and add the following two lines:

load-module module-bluetooth-policy
load-module module-bluetooth-discover

then all you have to do is pair your phone to your computer. Then, when you play audio from your phone, it automatically plays on your computer as long as they're connected via bluetooth. It also seems to route call audio through your computer.
