Re: shrinking Windows C: drive to make room for Linux

2023-08-02 Thread Michael Hennebry

None of the hits I got from search made explicit that one
could shrink the C: partition even while it was in use.
They focused on getting around Windows shrink's liomitations.
From the list responses, I gather that one can
indeed srink the C: partition while it is in use.

I've never seen any BIOS have any effect on the CAPS LOCK key.

There are many things you can remap the CapsLock key to, like Esc, ctrl, or

which does not have one.

No need to revert back to X11, or any kind of hardware solution.

I would presume most hosting providers (like mine, hostmonster.com)

Cheap service providers, however, are subject to abuse, and often get

Thanks to all who replied.  This sed command solution worked.  The only

Just a comment about sed's "-i" (edit In place) option.

Personally I avoid it.  Editing scripts are easy to mess up

not wanted.  Unlike interactive editors, there is no undo.

  I use "gparted" for this ('dnf install gparted'). It seems to work quite
well on Windows NTFS file systems and partitions. I have successfully used
gparted on ext4 and xfs partitions as well, but I have never tried it on
btrfs.

Re: Help needed: disabling system wide the Caps lock key in GNOME/Xwayland

2023-08-02 Thread Thomas
Hello,

I had that issue recently, the way I sorted it was with gsettings/dconf:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['ctrl:nocaps']"

I suspect this is what gnome-tweaks does. Actually as far as I know, Wayland 
still sources xkb files, it's not very much documented but I recall having 
found a few places suggesting that (I use stock F38 with Gnome and Wayland).

And thus see: man xkeyboard-config for a list of options which can be set, 
which is a bit wider than what gnome-tweaks propose.

Re: Help needed: disabling system wide the Caps lock key in GNOME/Xwayland

2023-08-02 Thread murph nj
Gnome tweaks has a simple solution to this.

Install Tweaks through "Software" or
dnf install gnome-tweaks

Run Tweaks and go to the "Keyboard and Mouse" section.
The 4th option down is an "Additional Layout options" button.
There are many things you can remap the CapsLock key to, like Esc, ctrl, or
my preference a Super key, since I usually use an IBM model M keyboard
which does not have one.

No need to revert back to X11, or any kind of hardware solution.

As near as I can tell (the last time I looked, anyway), wayland has
completely eviscerated all the ability to tweak keys and mouse buttons.
For my mouse, I implemented a hardware solution (which should work
for keyboards as well with additional microcode):

That was the goto solution, but with wayland that will not work as it is X11
