A: Where did xterm's ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu go? To map it to Ctrl+Backspace you can add ``` XTermvt100.translations: #override\ Ctrl Meta Shift BackSpace :popup-menu(vtMenu) ``` to your Xresources file and reload the X resource database: xrdb $HOME/.Xresources The name of the file does not matter. You can find the a X keys... (more) |

Although the link explains how in "Adding documentation" — with a small mistake, by the use of "Install" instead of "Add" —, to make the answer self-contained I suggest adding those instructions to it.
By the way, my answer was pointing to qtchooser. It does provide the /usr/bin/assistant link but... (more) |

A: How to open documentation in qch format in Debian based systems? - Install Qt Assistant (either 5 or 6 works): apt install qt5-assistant This might be already installed, the package in the question does depend on it but for some reason `qt5-doc` does not, it only recommends it. - Option 1: Load it with the CLI - Register the help file in th...

Although the essence of the answer remains unaltered, the actual step by step is different depending on the scope of the question. If the user is still going to install the operating system, that is usually very easy to do in most distribution installers. If the system is already installed, then the ... (more) |

A: How do you rotate webcam feed by 90 degrees? mpv --video-rotate=90 --profile=low-latency --untimed av://v4l2:/dev/video0 Press `s` to take the picture. `/dev/video0` is usually the right file, but if the command fails with "inappropriate ioctl for device", try with other ones listed in `printf '%s\n' /dev/video`.

I don't know, does KDE's monitor really display temperatures? I'm used to they only displaying things like CPU, RAM, disk usage etc.. Yes that is probably proprietary, or at least non-free software, as I pointed out.

This does not leave a trace, no GUI "settings program" will ever reflect such a change and even `setxkbmap -print` will look the same. The change does not persist across Xorg sessions (and thus reboots, log-ins) though. It's easy to revert it without killing Xorg, just keep the old and new maps in se... (more) |

A: Auto-enable FN-toggling for the first N FN keys It is true that Fn combinations are usually implemented in hardware, but in X11 (not Wayland of course!) you can circumvent this issue for most or all your keys.[^key-hardware] For example, my `F3 -> F3` and my `Fn+F3 -> {Switch monitor}`. Find out the keycodes of the keys In a terminal, la... (more) |

A: Monitor computer temperatures The Linux kernel exposes that via the Thermal Sysfs. You can then print the temperatures with cat /sys/class/thermal/thermalzone/temp You are better off, however, using tools that collate sensors' information. The typical tool is `sensors` from the lm-sensors package, but better for visuali... (more) |

A: VISUAL=gvim makes crontab -e open a new crontab instead of a current one Specific answer: Use `gvim -f`. General answer: Use the non-forking mode of your editor, i.e. if you run it in a terminal, it should wait until the editor is closed to return back control to you. Explanation Look in crontab.c, starting at `switch (pid = fork())` line. Cron creates a tempo... (more) |

Indeed, but then the intention is not to prevent the error as your phrasing poses, but to be able to search in directories that are only readable with different privileges. (more) |

"But the way to prevent the errors is to use sudo find."
Another common solution is redirecting: `2>/dev/null`, as rarely one really cares about those files or directories not accessible to his user. (more) |

Gnome is not specially known for its documentation. Broken links all around, [methods, properties etc. with "no description available"](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/vfunc.Paned.cycle_child_focus.html)... So I'll take a wild guess and say there is none. (more) |

A: Where does GtkFileChooserDialog store bookmarks? For most users, in `$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks`. Otherwise, if you set the `XDGCONFIGHOME` environment variable (which you can inspect with `env`), in `$XDGCONFIGHOME/gtk-3.0/bookmarks`. From the source code: ``` static GFile getbookmarksfile (void) { GFile file; char filename; ... (more) |

`man 7 signal` says you are right about that, but with the map from signal number to signal name, which it also provides, I do not think that prevents one from elaborating on how to read that field (but of course that's up to you). Though, to be fair, the manual does not really mention how to decode ... (more) |

I think the answer could be clearer as to how to read SigCgt. That is a hex bitmask, dd would output (after all is set)
```
SigCgt: 0000000000000202
```
That in binary is
```
0... 0010 0000 0010
```
So, at that point in time, dd is catching signals 2 (INT) and 10 (USR1). (more) |
