So I posted a while ago that I want to make a Ubuntu based distro called “MultiOS” and I didn’t get the best of feedback. If you don’t know what I mean check my post history anyways here is an idea.

Ok so now since I’m using a gnome based system I wanna use gnome directly instead of using a already existing gnome based system like Ubuntu or Debian. So I just wanna use gnome just gnome.
Kinda like how you would with mate.
And I also wanna try adding parts of xcfe to it for extra features.
Along with having wine/winetricks preinstalled so that I can run windows programs natively.
Sounds dumb but I think I could do something with this idea.

Midnight commander unexpectedly deletes files.

It has been known for over 6 years that the Midnight Commander deletes files when moving, even if an error occurs. How can such a package be part of a stable distribution? I've just sent half of my pictures from the last 15 years to Nirvana. I hope the backup is complete ...

Used mc for over 25 years. Time to find a new filemanager

Is it worth to contribute to the library (KDE) if I have an interest in fixing a single bug?

Hi all,

1. My OS is Ubuntu 19.04, I found a ridiculous bug in ksane library of KDE: it scans a wrong local area if the (0;0) of preview window is moved from the (0;0) of the image.
2. I have clonned kdebuild-src (HEAD), and suddenly found that it is far not ready to be compiled: its CMAKE files require an old version of Qt5 that does not support features required by the code. And the biggest problem: its kdewebkit library (a dependency of ksane) still uses WebKitWidgets that does not exists in Qt5.
3. I tried to update KDE for the latest Qt5, but it seems faaaar much harder than fixing the initial problem (ksane).

​

So, now I am about to fix the bug for the exact version of ksane installed in my system, but:

1. Is it worth to make a pull request (KDE team receives only 'diffs' anyway)? I am not sure if they will include it into any release of KDE (HEAD, patches for versions, etc). And I am aware that any update of my sysetm will bring me KDE libraries with the same problem again.
2. Is it common that sources downloaded from repos cannot be really compiled? I found such problems in HEAD of KDE (its CMAKE files requires Qt5 of wrong version). I wonder if I will get the same problems with a branch required for fixing my local KDE.


Sorry for a long and dizzy text, I could not make it better because of my brain that is almost exploded (I am newby to Git/Linux/CMAKE/KDE/Qt5).


Thanks!

Tip: Fast copy between linux and windows

Hi All,

I have recently encountered a copy issue between Linux mint OS and Windows 10 machine. I tried different ways to copy data (90 GB) between them, but copy speed was very very slow. The easiest way I found is, installed WinSCP in windows 10, and enabled ssh in Linux mint. Connected to Linux from windows over sftp using WinSCP. The data transfer rate is around 5 MBPS. I needed a solution to start copying data and leave it overnight. This solution worked great for me.

If someone is trying out like me, this might help. So posting it.

Tech Guy.
