Comment Post #293050 Alright, I think I answered my own question. I think konsole was configured on my computer to have its own method of associating links with files. I tried to open the link on few other terminals (kitty, alacritty, terminator) and it worked on all of those.

Question click and open a URI link from a terminal in Docker
I am using Docker on Windows (from Powershell) to run a container that runs Rocky Linux. I can run GUI applications (e.g., `xeyes`) from the container by running VcXsrv on Windows, and setting `DISPLAY` to `host.docker.internal:0.0` on Windows and Linux. What I would like to do is open a URI from ...

Comment Post #293050 Thanks! This works for kgx and gnome-terminal, but not for konsole. Do you know why?

My goal is to create a clickable link in the terminal that opens an executable. I'm trying to do this using the`file:` URI. For example, I want to open Blender whose executable is `/usr/bin/blender`. If I enter the following in a terminal, it creates a clickable link that is recognized by the termina...

Comment Post #287570 Thanks for the answer. I was hoping there was a way to do it without having to write an extension (maybe there isn't, but that was my hope). Shouldn't it also be possible to make some changes to the top bar by modifying CSS files (e.g., a file such as `/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-classic.cs...

Comment Post #287563 Either way, I suppose. I was hoping there'd be an easy way to do it with an external program. But if that's not possible, then it would be interesting to learn how to do it by digging into the source code.

Comment Post #286257 Sorry for the late reply. Good point, I guess maybe I should have said "ripping" instead of "digitizing". I'm saving the whole DVD as an ISO file. Usually I use the command `dd if=/dev/sr0 of=file.iso`. This command will result in an "Input/output error" if the DVD is encrypted. So if I see that erro...

Question how to determine from the command line whether a DVD is encrypted
I am currently ripping a bunch of DVDs. Some are encrypted, and some are not. My method for ripping a DVD depends on whether or not it is encrypted, so I am looking for a command-line method to determine if a DVD is encrypted or not. My current way to detect whether a DVD is encrypted or not is th...

Answer A: How to install printer driver for Canon PIXMA TR4522 printer in Arch Linux
I figured this out myself. I needed to install the cnijfilter2 AUR package. Installing this package provided me with the correct PPD file (which was named `canontr4500.pdd`). How I figured this out: I read the Canon section of the CUPS/Printer-specific problems page on the Arch Wiki, which mention...

Question How to install printer driver for Canon PIXMA TR4522 printer in Arch Linux
I have used printers before in Arch Linux, but I can't figure out how to print with a Canon PIXMA TR4522 printer. More specifically, I am having trouble finding the correct driver. I have installed the `gutenprint` and `foomatic-db-gutenprint-ppds` Arch Linux packages, but I still don't see the pr...
