If you want some extra credit, point me in the direction of getting my wacom digitizer (built into this "tablet") working in Sway.
It works out of the box in X11 on Debian.
libinput doesn't see it at all
~ $ libinput |grep -ie wacom -e digitiz -e tablet
~ $
I had a built-in touch screen back on my previous laptop but I'm sorry there's nothing you can say to persuade me to try and turn that piece of junk on to help figure this out.
It's not a bad touchscreen, but the knockoff fleabay special digitizer pen is abysmal. I think it only has a single antenna, so it's completely ignorant of angle -- which makes it incredibly inaccurate unless you're looking straight down at the screen and holding the pen perpendicular to it. There's also a LARGE gap between the screen and front plastic.
State of the art for 2010. ;)
The default color scheme was a total eyebleed (yay, washed-out pastels), but easily replaced with proper 000000, ff0000, 00ff00, 0000ff, ffff00, 00ffff, ff00ff colors. :P
(also s/f/d/g for darker colors)
Some of my most-used features are the ctrl+shift+n to open a new terminal in the same working directory (takes a little setup in your rc file) and ctrl+shift+u to do a qutebrowser-style highlighting of links to open.
@RL_Dane
Lots of packages I use have fast development but slow release cycles, for some reason. qutebrowser is very active on the qt6 branch, but the latest official release was in March, and the last release with actual features was April 2022.
Beets has tons of awesome new features coming "soon" and is actively developed but the last release was November 2021.
But agreety doesn't really do anything different from agetty?!
It just drops me into bash.
Am I supposed to put something in my .bashrc to launch sway?
In that case, what's the point of agreety?
Ah. For some silly reason, the default in Debian is '--cmd /bin/sh'
Duh.
Now I'm trying to figure out why the default sway background is showing up when it first comes up, even though exec swaybg -i ... is the very last line in my config.
If I hit $mod+shift+c to reload Sway, my background comes up fine. It's weird.
@RL_Dane
Hmm actually I have "export TERMINAL=foot" in my nixos config. Perhaps try setting that somewhere? In my config it's system-wide… .bash_profile or the equivalent in your shell might work.
Still not fixing my problem, though. I think something needs to go into ~/.config/mimeapps-list, but I cant figure out what the mime type for a generic terminal is
It just creates a symlink so that /usr/bin/foo always points to /etc/alternatives/foo, which then points to the actual binary you want.
You can update the symlinks manually, but it's better to run sudo update-alternatives --config foo
Hey, do you have a '~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list' file on your box?
If so, can you share an excerpt, or see if there's any mention of terminal in it?

I apparently do not. I do have ~/.config/mimeapps.list if that helps?
I'd forgotten; nix's whole deal is that nothing is visible to anything that it doesn't request. Packages can't use dependencies they don't declare, and packages you don't declare aren't in your PATH even if other packages depend on them.
@RL_Dane@benjaminhollon what exactly are you trying to do? Because, granted I got them from @JustineSmithies ; I use scripts, .desktopfiles and startups (exec-once) that open foot terminal. Granted. I request foot directly and not $terminal except in my Hyprland config file
@RL_Dane@pixelherodev@Qper@JustineSmithies
Yeah I only have a one-shot-binding for the terminal, since (1) I mostly use TUIs and (2) My keybindings are already massively complex, throwing in those bindings would only complicate things more.
Me and my clumsy wording.
Honestly, I had a lot of hangups with both the Devuan and Debian installers, because I couldn't figure out how to get #libreboot working with true full-disk encryption. It works fine in #OpenBSD and #FreeBSD, but not #Linux, as far as I was able to tell.
I was surprised that Devuan didn't use the same installer as Debian though.
Nevertheless, thanks for contributing to #Devuan! :D
I'll try Devuan next.
@RL_Dane@furicle@fedops Yeah, biggest reason people despise lennart is his "Holier than thou" personality. Linus is (Or was) an asshole, but he doesn't have that attitude.
