Ajustando las ventanas de LXQt

LXQt does not allow to easily resize.

I created some shortcuts that allow to resize a windows easily

$ kate .config/openbox/rc.xml

Then add under <keyboard> the following:

    <keybind key="C-S-KP_4">              # Left
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>50%</width>
        <height>100%</height>
        <x>0%</x>
        <y>0%</y>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-S-KP_6">              # Right
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>50%</width>
        <height>100%</height>
        <x>50%</x>
        <y>0%</y>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-S-KP_2">              # Up
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>100%</width>
        <height>50%</height>
        <x>0%</x>
        <y>50%</y>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-S-KP_8">              # Down
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>100%</width>
        <height>50%</height>
        <x>0%</x>
        <y>0%</y>
      </action>
    </keybind>

    <keybind key="C-S-KP_7">        # UpperQuarterLeft
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo"><x>0</x><y>0</y><height>50%</height><width>50%</width></action>
    </keybind>

    <keybind key="C-S-KP_1">        # LowerQuarterLeft
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo"><x>0</x><y>-0</y><height>50%</height><width>50%</width></action>
    </keybind>

    <keybind key="C-S-KP_3">        # LowerQuarterRight
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo"><x>-0</x><y>-0</y><height>50%</height><width>50%</width></action>
    </keybind>

    <keybind key="C-S-KP_9">        # UpperQuarterRight
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo"><x>-0</x><y>0</y><height>50%</height><width>50%</width></action>
    </keybind>

Finally run

$ openbox --reconfigure
 

Ajustando las resoluciones de las pantallas de los computadores de la U

 Con 

$ xrand

conozco las resoluciones

PILLARBOX

ESTE ES EL COMANDO PARA AJUSTAR LA PANTALLA IZQUIERDA A LA PANTALLA DERECHA (Pantalla de baja resolución se ajusta a pantalla de alta resolución)

xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1680x1050

xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1600x900 --same-as VGA-1 --scale 1.15x1.167

El 1.15 sale de                       El 1.167 sale de 1050/900

      434

-------------- = 1.15

    236*473

   ---------

      296

xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1600x900

xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1680x1050 --same-as DP-1 --scale 0.95x1

0.95 = 1600/1680x1050

1    -> ya que no hay que escalar

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode 1440x900 --same-as HDMI-1 --scale 1.33x1.2

1920/1440 = 1.33

1080/900 = 1.2

Proyector:

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1200
xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode 1440x900 --same-as HDMI-1 --scale 1.33x1.33

 

 

Load Strava Heatmap on qgis

 Use the URL:

https://heatmap-external-a.strava.com/tiles-auth/ACTIVITY/COLOR/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png?Key-Pair-Id=MYVALUE&Policy=MYVALUE&Signature=MYVALUE

After logging in to https://www.strava.com/heatmap/ using a browser, you then have to retrieve and replace the MYVALUE items with appropriate cookie values for the following:

• CloudFront-Key-Pair-Id
• CloudFront-Policy
• CloudFront-Signature

Click on the padlock icon in the URL bar while at https://www.strava.com/heatmap/ and take the values from Cookies.

You can use also this Chrome extension to fill the fields:

Jabra: cannot set freq 48000 to ep 0x3

 To fix this problem, I followed the steps in:

https://cloudalbania.com/posts/2022-04-fix-pulseaudio-usb-device/

Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

$ grep sample-rate /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

; default-sample-rate = 44100

; alternate-sample-rate = 48000

$ pulseaudio --dump-conf  | grep sample-rate

default-sample-rate = 44100

alternate-sample-rate = 48000

and change default-sample-rate to 48000:

$ pulseaudio --dump-conf  | grep sample-rate

default-sample-rate = 48000

alternate-sample-rate = 48000

Finally, restarted PulseAudio with pulseaudio -k

Installing KUBUNTU 20.04

• matlab
• microsoft edge
• obstudio

After installing I had a problem with the resolution 640x480 was the only one available. I fixed it using:

Search Nvidia packages:

$ dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia

Remove all the Nvidia drivers

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'

Go to: System settings >> Driver manager >> Additional Drivers >> select first one (NVIDIA driver 390 propietary, tested) >> Apply Changes

Reboot

Install the HELVETICA FONT: 

https://getfontfree.com/helvetica-font/

So that inkscape does not complain when opening EPS files generated in MATLAB

Finally, disable the boot screen and show only kernel and boot text:
