Re: Beep when moving between Xterms
I don't know exactly what would be causing this, but one step you could look at to start would be to enable visual bell on your xterm sessions. This would let you know which, if any, of the terminals are generating the beep, allowing you to narrow things down a bit. from https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Visual-Bell-8.html xterm: xterm can convert each bell to either a visible or audible signal. If you use the audible bell, the settings of "xset" will apply. The bell in xterm defualts to be audible, but you can use the "-vb" command line option and the "xterm*visualBell: true" resource to turn it to a visible flash. You can toggle visible/audible signaling at run-time by using the menu invoked by control--left-mouse-button.

Re: Dolphin replace/remove invalid chars in filename when copying to NTFS?
Having just an automated autoreplace could result in poor results, esp if not explained to the user... I wonder if functionality could be done to check what the destination filesystem is,and a quick scan of the file names to look for incompatible characters, then provide a dialog with functionality like "Some files contain characters not allowed by the destination file system (FilesystemTypeHere) and cannot be copied as-is. Manually rename the files below, click to allow auto-replacement of characters, or continue operation without those files | /home/clarjon1/BoxOfFilesWithInCompatibleNames | /home/clarjon1/ThatAllowForTheTextToBeCopied | /home/clarjon1/SoUsersCanManuallyReplace | /home/clarjon1/AtTheirDiscretion [Autoreplace] [Ignore Files] [Cancel] If Autoreplace is chosen, a second dialog should appear, that will show the results, so users can note/document what the new file names are, which may be important eg for updating scripts.

while you can use a totp app (There's a bunch out there, and various open source options), most competent password managers can also to TOTP, like keepassxc does natively, so does bitwarden, keepass2 with a plugin, and if you really want to go roll-your-own and have something that's truly platform agnostic, you can use this project[1] to have a web page you pop the seed into and it'll spit out a number for you, with nothing saved serverside [1]https://github.com/jaden/totp-generator Been using this project for testing various totp implementations for a project the past couple of months without having to build my own full-end auth system :) On Mon, 24 Oct 2022 at 14:16, René J.V.

Re: Fwd: Your account has been deactivated
I'm unsure about older versions, but for KeepassXC 2.7.x: To setup OTP in KeepassXC, find the entry you want to associate with the OTP or create a new entry. Then, right click the entry, go to the TOTP submenu, and select Setup TOTP or go to Entries -> TOTP -> Setup TOTP. You will be prompted to enter the seed for your 2fa. Then, to get the 2fa code, either select the entry and go to Entries -> TOTP or Righclick -> TOTP, and either Copy TOTP to copy the current code, or Show TOTP, to display the code and show you how long until it times out.

Re: slow graphics when laptop display is disabled
oooh, they forked Synergty, nice! Been looking for a continuation of that tool, their new rework has never worked properly for me. Peter, this utility sets up a few client/daemons on different machines that talk to each other, typically on the LAN. One machine will be the main "host", and is the machine with the keyboard and mouse connected. When the mouse reaches the edge of defined screens, it keeps track of how far the mouse has moved, and sends this data over the LAN to the appropriate machine, moving the mouse, and forwarding keyboard inputs to that machine as well, allowing you to use your network as a KVM of sorts but without the video input switching.

Re: Konsole tab accellerators -- how to disable?
I already have that option disabled. Hmm. On a whim, I just enabled the option, hit OK, went back into config and disabled the feature, and the issue is now gone! And yes, Konversation is lovely, however in this usage I'm connecting to a unix shell based community, similar to SDF, to their internal chat. I couuuld get it setup to allow me to connect with Konversation but I'd need to mess with ssh port tunnelling, and that seems like a bit of an annoying thing to do ^_^' On Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 4:06 AM René J.V.

Konsole tab accellerators -- how to disable?
Hello! Konsole version 19.07.90, Archlinux I wish to disable the behaviour where holding alt causes the tab switching accelerators showing up in Konsole, as it is causing shortcuts inside terminal applications such as my IRC client from working when I have too many tabs open. I've gone thru settings and didn't see anything obvious, didn't see anything in the shortcut assignment system (which makes sense as this is automatically done.) Made for a incredibly frustrating experience this morning as I groggily tried to go thru messages only to have it keep jumping to different tabs. Doubly so as I could not find a way to disable this behaviour. Screenshot below of accelerators being displayed when holding Alt. https://i.imgur.com/yOIhBey.png
