Re: Openbox / compositor installation guide

Hello you could give fluxbox a try, I had no problems intalling on CentOS 7. One thing you need to know is, it's extemely basic out of the box and can take a long time to set it up how you want it. There are a couple of tools to autogenerate a menu though. (fluxbox-generate_menu and fluxbox-xdg-menu...

Re: tracker-extract 100% CPU

Just checked my .bash_history as I'm sure I did some digging to disable that tracker garbage.
Here are the commands I used

Code: Select all

cp /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker* ~/.config/autostart
cd ~/.config/autostart
sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' tracker*

Re: Tor doens't start anymore

Probably not the best idea, but you can also reinstall the pre version 10 from here https://archive.torproject.org/tor-pack ... ser/9.5.4/ I'd also delete the update-settings.ini to prevent updates.

Re: CentOS 7, Kernel 5.12, Virtual Box 6.1 -can't start Virtual Machine

Why do you have virtualbox at all? CentOS 7 virtualization packages offer libvirtd/KVM, which are quite reliable.
After trying KVM I uninstalled virtualbox, it just seems to do virtualisation better (for me anyway) :D

Re: GeForce RTX 2070 / HDMI issues

Sorry can't help with the driver but I disable my screensaver with

Code: Select all

xset -dpms s off
If you must have a screensaver maybe a keyboard shortcut to the xrandr command used to set the 3 screens

Code: Select all

xrandr -q
will show your current setup and options.

Re: cpu usage

Code: Select all

watch -n.5 "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"^[c]pu MHz\""
The -n.5 is every half a second
conky can also show an average instead of individual cores
Add these lines to your ~/.conkyrc

Code: Select all

cpu_avg_samples 4
top_cpu_separate no
change number of samples as desired

Re: installing Telegram

How did this /usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/lib/libQt5Core.so.5 get there, I'm guessing via pip as root, the pip documentation advises to always use the --user flag, I'd remove it, with pip if installed with pip. Then run hash -r to reset the path/location of libQt5Core.so.5 I hav...

Re: installing Telegram

What does locate libQt5Core.so.5 show. Maybe a symbolic link to /var/lib/snapd/snap/telegram/xx/lib but as I said the snap should already contain everything it needs to run, odd. Edit: just checked my system (centos 7.9) and there is libQt5Core.so.5 in /var/lib/snapd/snap/kde-frameworks-5-core18/32/...
