Linux Life Episode 68
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Linux Life, my ongoing quest regarding my many foibles in the world of Linux. Well since last episode I have had a major issue with the i7 desktop. Very much of my own doing nothing to do with Linux itself.
I was trying to install Cawbird which is a Twitter client basically its an updated version of Corebird. Now it installed fine however when you were reading through the tweets the emojis were missing. So I decided to play with the various emoji fonts.
First I installed the Twitter-color-svginot font but rather than the emojis being colour as it states Cawbird seemed to show them in black and white. So I uninstalled that and installed the twemoji font. Sure enough the emojis showed in colour but were absolutely huge. So I installed the fontconfig-emoji package hoping to find a way to make the emojis smaller but to be honest, even though I changed the options in the conf file it seemed not to make any difference.
I was probably putting it in the wrong conf file but it seemed no matter what I changed the emojis were still massive. Tried setting font size, setting them to scalable but nothing seemed to work. Uninstalled twemoji font and installed the noto-fonts-emoji font. once again the emojis were there but massive.
Getting frustrated I saw that this noto-font-emoji set was listed as version 1.1 but there was a version 1.2 on GitHub. So I downloaded that to run it you had to run install.sh from terminal. That’s when things went very wrong.
The screen font was suddenly missing numbers and various characters and no matter what I did trying to rebuild the font cache including forcing it and making sure the fonts directory link was pointing to the right directory. It seemed no matter what I did I could not get the screen fonts back to the way it should be.
In the control centre of Mate all the system fonts were just seen as blocks so my screen was very unreadable. I tried deleting all the font caches to see if they would rebuild but upon restart I still had a very scrambled screen font setup.
So I had to totally reinstall Linux so now the i7 desktop has changed from Archman Mate up to EndeavourOS Mate. The only problem was I had to totally format my /home directory as the .config files would probably mess up the system as I knew it’s font caches were incorrectly set.
Luckily I back up regularly so I have not lost anything but a couple of minor zip files which I had not backed and can get again. Bit annoying, but not the end of the world. So now both the i7 desktop and the i7 potato are running EndeavourOS. I must admit I like the new Calamares online installer just make sure you have the latest version before you run it, which i forgot to do the first time and it froze at 29% as i think the arch-keyring had updated so it was throwing it off.
Second time around I noticed the welcome script had an update installer button which once I ran that I had no problems installing EndeavourOS. I do like that EndeavourOS does give you an option to do an online or offline installation. Not every version of Linux does that especially when installing Arch.
Still got a few things to install to get everything back in order but it is definitely running fine with EndeavourOS. I’m sure I probably could have saved the Archman Linux setup but every time I tried to adjusted a setting I just seemed to be making it worse rather than better.
So we live and learn. The ironic factor is I don’t really use Twitter that much and was only installing it so I could see how well / or lack thereof a Twitter client was on Linux. I guess I should have left well alone.
Well I am going to quit this episode there today. There is shed loads of Linux distros been released lately such as the 20.04 LTS Ubuntu range, Fedora 32 and probably lots more but it seems that when I write about that sort of stuff very few people are actually interested in it.
I will leave the news to the likes of This Week In Linux and others who are much better at explaining the new features than I ever will.
So until next time ... Take care.

For example, Alt-PrtSc now works for GTK 4 application pop-up menus. <video controls preload="auto" width="100%" playsinline class="html-video"> <source src="https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2021/10/twig-14/150affb5ccf48b2e72c78975535d858548a981c2.webm" type="video/webm"> <span>Your browser doesn't support embedded videos, but don't worry, you can <a href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2021/10/twig-14/150affb5ccf48b2e72c78975535d858548a981c2.webm">download it</a> and watch it with your favorite video player!</span> </video></p> </blockquote> <h3 id="gweather"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#gweather" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>GWeather <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/LibGWeather"><svg width='16' height='16'><use xlink:href='https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#link'></use></svg></a> </h3><p><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@ebassi:gnome.org">Emmanuele Bassi</a> says</p> <blockquote> <p>GWeather, the library for gathering weather information used by various GNOME applications, has been updated to allow its use by GTK4 applications: <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgweather/-/issues/151">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgweather/-/issues/151</a></p> </blockquote> <h1 id="circle-apps-and-libraries"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#circle-apps-and-libraries" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>Circle Apps and Libraries </h1> <h3 id="webfont-kit-generator"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#webfont-kit-generator" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>Webfont Kit Generator <a href="https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/webfont-kit-generator"><svg width='16' height='16'><use xlink:href='https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#link'></use></svg></a> </h3><p>Create @font-face kits easily.</p> <p><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@rafaelmardojai:matrix.org">Rafael Mardojai CM</a> announces</p> <blockquote> <p>Webfont Kit Generator was ported to GTK4 and libadwaita with some small design improvements. <img src="https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2021/10/twig-14/DTkrESLsXbAQLONcMUdbUMor.png" alt="" /> </p> </blockquote> <h3 id="solanum"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#solanum" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>Solanum <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Solanum"><svg width='16' height='16'><use xlink:href='https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#link'></use></svg></a> </h3><p>Balance working time and break time.</p> <p><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@brainblasted:gnome.org">Chris 🌱️</a> says</p> <blockquote> <p>Solanum now has preferences to set the various timer lengths and how many laps to go before a long break. <img src="https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2021/10/twig-14/19af902113cc3b2002c6df9aae9d06a92795942f.png" alt="" /> </p> </blockquote> <h3 id="share-preview"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#share-preview" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>Share Preview <a href="https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/share-preview"><svg width='16' height='16'><use xlink:href='https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#link'></use></svg></a> </h3><p>Test social media cards locally.</p> <p><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@rafaelmardojai:matrix.org">Rafael Mardojai CM</a> says</p> <blockquote> <p>Share Preview’s metadata inspector has been moved to a separate dialog, and now also allows you to inspect document body images. <img src="https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2021/10/twig-14/amApvjKoiQUzdEwbfdBduluK.png" alt="" /> </p> </blockquote> <h3 id="pika-backup"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#pika-backup" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>Pika Backup <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/PikaBackup"><svg width='16' height='16'><use xlink:href='https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#link'></use></svg></a> </h3><p>Simple backups based on borg.</p> <p><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@sophieherold:gnome.org">Sophie Herold</a> announces</p> <blockquote> <p>Pika Backup got ported to GTK 4 and libadwaita.</p> <p>Observing readers might also spot a “Schedule” page in the screenshot.

One of the primary reason that made me start this work is to have the ability to restore all the different pages types that Builder has, as currently only the main source code pages were restored on startup. The current session API made plugins handle the restoring of both the pages and their position in the workspace grid, which meant that it was nearly impossible for multiple addins to restore their pages in the right position in a reliable and straight-forward way. So I <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-builder/-/merge_requests/345">reworked the whole Session API</a> to make addins only handle the content of their pages, without requiring them to care about restoring to the grid. This allowed me to <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-builder/-/merge_requests/395">add support for Devhelp documentation pages</a> much more easily. So now it should be easy to add support for other pages types, like terminal pages or the folder browser pages. I’ve also <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-builder/-/merge_requests/398">fixed a small issue</a> which was already there before the rework, which made the visible pages not always being the visible ones when restoring, which can be annoying as you’d need to switch to them again from the Open Pages popover to resume your work. Builder is also on the road to gain support for <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-builder/-/merge_requests/400">autosaving the session</a> when a page is opened, moved or closed, or if you e.g. changed directory in a terminal, so that if Builder ever crashes you won’t need to re-open all the pages you were working on, hence making crashes less disruptive. All those additions will make their way into GNOME 41, to be released in September.</p> </blockquote> <h1 id="circle-apps-and-libraries"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#circle-apps-and-libraries" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>Circle Apps and Libraries </h1> <h3 id="gtk-rs"> <a class="heading-anchor" href="#gtk-rs" hidden><svg width="16" height="16"><use xlink:href="https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#anchor"></use></svg></a>gtk-rs <a href="https://gtk-rs.org/"><svg width='16' height='16'><use xlink:href='https://thisweek.gnome.org/images/icons.svg#link'></use></svg></a> </h3><p>Safe bindings to the Rust language for fundamental libraries from the GNOME stack.</p> <p><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@julianhofer:gnome.org">Julian 🍃</a> reports</p> <blockquote> <p>The <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/bilelmoussaoui/gtk-rust-template">gtk-rust-template</a> has been updated to use the latest release of gtk4-rs.

Linux has a nice Twitter client called Cawbird that you can use with just a keyboard, and it's really nice for when you don't like logging into things from an actual browser. I wish there was an equivalent for Tumblr...

Cawbird, un excelente cliente de Twitter para Linux
Si llevas tiempo en el ecosistema Linux seguramente recuerdas Corebird, un popular cliente de Twitter que desafortunadamente dejo de funcionar debido a los cambios que la red social hizo en su API.
Pero como suele suceder en el software libre, nada se va para siempre y en la mayor parte de los casos, hay un desarrollador dispuesto a continuar la travesía.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
En este caso es el desarrollador IBBoard quien ha creado una versión de Corebird llamada Cawbird que funciona con la API actual de Twitter.
Corebird era un cliente con un excelente diseño, gran mantenimiento y completo en funciones, fue construido en GTK, pero amado por usuarios de todas las distribuciones y entornos gráficos.
El cliente te permitía realizar las acciones básicas de Twitter; tweet, retweet, subir imágenes, enviar y recibir mensajes directos, seguir, dejar de seguir, banear y bloquear cuentas. Además de acciones avanzadas como dejarte mutear hashtags específicos y cambiar entre cuentas.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Incluso se agregó el soporte para actualizaciones de 280 caracteres que muchos usuarios esperan. Corebird fue creado para mostrar los últimos tweets primero y no funciona si se quieren mostrar “los tweets más relevantes”.
Cawbird hace todo esto, pero lo hace de una forma diferente. En Cawbird no hay streaming de tweets en tiempo real, los Tweets no aparecen justo cuando son publicados, en cambio, la aplicación tiene que revisar las novedades cada dos minutos, o bien cuando el usuario active la actualización manual.
La aplicación también está limitada en las veces que se actualiza, por lo que si eres de los que gustan de estar actualizando a cada rato tendrás que reabrir la aplicación cada cierto tiempo.
Si quieres instalar Cawbird en tu dispositivo la mejor forma de hacerlo es agregando el repositorio a tus fuentes, así podrás instalar y actualizar el cliente automáticamente usando el centro de actualizaciones de tu distribución.
Igualmente puedes descargar el instalador .deb desde este enlace.
