As a 4080 owner, would love to see this supported on Firefox+Ubuntu as well.

Re: Nala is a Neat Alternative to Apt on Ubuntu

Fantastic use of Python bindings for apt - this is the kind of innovation we need! Same functionality under the hood, but delivered better.

This didn't work for me - but switching to Ruby 3.1.2 did.

You can copy/paste it, but you also need to replace the fancy quotes “” with the plain ones "". So just delete the quotes and enter " in place of them.

Re: AMD Ryzen Ubuntu User? Check Out This New App from Slimbook

Vadim Peretokin — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 11:18:43 -0000

I'm never buying AMD again. My Ryzen keeps crashing my system due to CPU-level bugs about low C states. Sending it back for RMA.

Re: Linux App Support on Chromebooks is Coming Out of Beta

Vadim Peretokin — Thu, 27 May 2021 10:43:08 -0000

Just got Acer Chromebook Spin 713 today and enabled Linux on it - it was ridiculously simple to do so. A push of a button got everything set up. Installing an application setup the proper launcher in the usual Chrome OS as well - so this is really the best of both worlds.

Re: Firefox 87 Released, This is What’s New

Hm, but it already does support this, albet in a manual way - it's not automatic.

We've also moved the development to Github from Launchpad: https://github.com/shutter-...

I have the same. Used LKE to create the cluster.

As one of the Shutter devs early on - thanks a lot for keeping this up for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS!

Been possible before with Videostream, btw.

Not that difficult to an expert. You've gotta be considerate of others.

Re: ElectronCGI – A solution to cross-platform GUIs for .Net Core

Vadim Peretokin — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 11:20:39 -0000

Great article!

I've found that Electron's purpose is if you're a web developer who needs to make desktop app. That's for whom it's for. If you want to make a desktop app and you're not a web designer, trying to learn the web just so you can put it on the desktop is not worth the pain: the web is not meant for desktop. Why should you have a backend and a frontend and communicate between the two, for example? Or worry about all web security issues on the desktop, which has enough things to worry about?

I recommend looking into QML instead. It's modern. It's crossplatform. There's a native Qml.Net project which works well: https://github.com/qmlnet/q...

I've built an app which runs natively on macOS, Linux, and Windows and it works great.

Yeah what makes you be pretty sure?

I want Unity to come back!

Oh no! It decided to print out the webassembly text expression, which took half an hour, and it didn't work in the end: https://hastebin.com/peyeji...

Perhaps we can continue the discussion in the form! I've started a thread on https://forum.qt.io/topic/1...

Re: Your Blog Post Title Here...

Vadim Peretokin — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 11:43:16 -0000

Aha! My emscripten was detected right, but I didn't have WebAssembly in the installer - I built Qt myself a few months ago to get the new threads support. Thanks, I'll download it and try.

Re: Your Blog Post Title Here...

Vadim Peretokin — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 11:08:25 -0000

Agreed. However, with this enabled, it still doesn't get picked up as a kit. Here's my ~/.emscripten: https://hastebin.com/okubaj...

And this is how my setup looks like. Is anything wrong? I'd expect Webassembly to be an available kit:

Re: Your Blog Post Title Here...

Vadim Peretokin — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 10:22:38 -0000

I didn't have ~/.emscripten - first time I've heard of it. I created it. Also, the webassembly plugin is disabled by default in Qt Creator, I had to turn that on.

Though nothing was still detected after this.

Running emsdk activate latest gives this - it's putting the file into the same directory, not into ~/.emscripten:

$ ./emsdk activate latest
Writing .emscripten configuration file to user home directory /home/vadi/Programs/emsdk

Looks like it was a bug in emscripten, fixed in recent git:

$ ./emsdk activate latest
Writing .emscripten configuration file to user home directory /home/vadi/

Re: Your Blog Post Title Here...

Vadim Peretokin — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 09:07:48 -0000

Mine didn't get detected on Ubuntu, but I also how wonder how it would have been? I had to checkout emscripten and use its builder, and have to manually use it's script to set the environment variables before being able to use em++.
