  • The output here lets us know that systemd is running the service file and starting the script just fine. The echoed GPU temperature is making it to the journal, but the gpuTemp variable isn’t being updated (staying at 0) because of a problem executing nvidia-settings. Specifically, it wants a display: “The control display is undefined”.

    You could add a line to the service file:—

    Environment = DISPLAY=:0

    Although if echo DISPLAY in your terminal gives you a different value, use that. There’s a possibility that that will just push one error further down the line, but it’s something to try.

    Alternatively/additionally, you could try changing the User= line to your own username to see if it picks up the environment your manual executions work with.

    You aren’t the only one to run into problems trying to automate nvidia-settings. You might end up needing to track down an Xauthority file or use the display manager’s initialisation options.


  • If you had a book which had on its Contents page:

    Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . page 1

    and you crossed it out, then wrote:

    Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . page 1

    Chapter 2 . . . . . . . . . . page 50

    someone looking for Chapter 1 is still going to find all the text in the right place (as long as it was less than 50 pages).

    Changing the partitition table is like changing the Contents page; it doesn’t mess with the rest of the data. And if the new table points to the same place it did before, the data can still be found.

    That said, if the filesystem still thinks it’s 1TB, you may end up with future problems unless you resize it to fit the reduced partition.







  • Uh, the XiBucks, obviously.

    Look, I get it. Hexbear is a demanding place to be. It expects you to not be a complete asshole almost all the time. You’re regularly tested on knowledge of an emoji system so complex, it’s been known to make London cab drivers cry. If you unthinkingly parrot talking points, you’ll be pounced on with annoying facts and aggressive reasonable concern for the value of other people. And if you emit the slightest Hitler particle, you’ll be outright banned. How authoritarian! Honesty, sometimes I wonder why I signed up, never mind stay around.

    But then I remember that the folks there are a deeply caring lot, who see the problems in the world and actually want to do something about it—even though the goal often seems barely possible—and, in spite of everything, retain a sense of humour and try to make improvements for each other, even if, for now at least, it can only be a :meow-hug:.

    Oh, and the XiBucks, of course. Some of us even get roubles, too!
