I have Xmonad window manager installed on a RHEL 7.9 machine. The issue is I cannot seem to set the transparency for my terminal windows.
From the little previous experience I have with this, I believe I need some form of compositor.
I have tried doing a yum search for the usual suspects of compton/picom but cannot seem to find them. (This is a work machine and so I believe it has a subset of the main package repos available).
Is there any compositor like this which I should be able to use? Has anyone done this on RHEL?
If the answer is there are packages available, and I just cannot see them, I am able to request for packages to be added to our repository too, I simply need to know what they are.
Thanks in advance.

I have been working with Docker for Windows for about a year now, and I still do not have a good grasp of when I should use the different images, how they are related, and what components of Windows that are in them.
On this link:
https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-base-os-images
there are four "Featured repos":
windows/servercore
windows/nanoserver
windows/iotcore
windows
I understand that windows/servercore should contain more things that nanoserver, but what are does things exactly? Why does some programs work in servercore and not nanoserver and is there some way of finding what is missing in nanoserver for a particular program?
In addition to this, they list three related repos:
microsoft/dotnet-framework
microsoft/dotnet
microsoft/iis
Both of the dotnet repos contain five sub repos, and the difference is that dotnet-framework is based on server core, while dotnet is based on nanoserver.
Is there some comprehensible documentation of all these repos/images, maybe with a graph for a simple overview? Do some of them have a public Dockerfile that explains how they were created, like for example this:?
https://github.com/docker-library/python/blob/master/3.6/windows/windowsservercore-ltsc2016/Dockerfile
The differences your are mentionning are less linked to Docker than you think.
All images are a successions of operation which will result in a functionning environnement. See it as an automated installation, just like you would do it by hand on a physical machine.
Having different images on a repo means that the installation is different, with different settings. I'm not a .NET expert nor a Windows Server enthousiast, but for what I found, Nano Server is another way to install a Windows Server, with less functionnality so it's light-weigth. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/getting-started-with-nano-server)
Those kind of technical difference are technology specific and you'll find all the informations needed on the official documentations of Microsoft.
Remember that Docker is a way to do something, not the designer of the os you are using, so most of the time you'll have to search in the actual documentation of your system (in that case, Windows Server and .NET framework).
I hope this helped you to understand a little better, have fun with Docker!
So I've got a Mikrotik RB, which has the Bleeding edge (unstable version) installed on it. I know it is kinda stupid to use OpenWRT on RB, but I need it for UDPxy.
Anyways, the guy wants me to enable Luci and UDPxy, but he installed the unstable version of OpenWRT and now he wants me to do the stuff above.
I just want to know, can I flash the stable version on it? Is the procedure same as for the upgrading? Is there any differences while flashing if I use a board that didn't have OpenWRT as firmware?
Downgrading is the same as upgrading, in either case you are just flashing new firmware onto the board. The only thing that may differ is the configuration files may be kept and may need to be reset when downgrading.
However this is easily done.
Regarding your last question, there may be differences depending on your board. Usually its just a case of finding the hidden restore interface and flashing it. But please consult your device's page on the OpenWRT/LEDE page for more information.
I'm using Windows, Mac and Linux machines in my daily duties. On all machines, I program in C++ and various shells scripts. So far I've adopted the various "main" IDEs on each platform, but the diversity is irritating. I'm therefore looking into the possibility of using Sublilme Text on all platforms.
I have a setup of Sublime Text on Windows that works perfectly and would like to use the same on the other platforms also, so that when I change something in my Sublime setup on, say, my Mac, I can easily pick up the latest setup on my Windows machine the next time I'm there.
Is this possible on the 3 mentioned platforms, without getting (more) grey hair? If so, any suggestions or experiences thereof?
Many folks upload the "Packages/User" folder to GitHub (or your VCS service of choice). Then, they use Package Control to install their packages. Package control, through a settings file, will install any missing packages on a particular machine. I wrote a bit more about it here. You would then clone the git repo onto each machine, pulling updates when you decide to change something.
Alternatively, you could probably use a cloud service + symlinks to keep things auto synced, but I've personally never used it that way.
There are some plugins that are platform specific, so keep an eye out for those.
There's also the Package Package Syncing, which syncs installed packages and settings via some cloud service.
Works quite nicely, and automatically.
Has the advantage that you don't have to push/pull some dotfiles repo all the time.
No idea though whether this will work seamlessly across platforms (meaning whether all the settings will be platform-independent).
So I upgraded to 1.4 for a project I am contributing to (in development/testing branch of course) and ran into some problems and thus we want to use Dart 1.3.6 again. However, I cannot find this.
Does anyone know where I could download it?
I have seen and starred https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=18323
as I was putting this question together, but of course seems like there is no more movement there just yet.
I think I pretty much ran into similar issues to what corgath described in comments on this question... looking for the right version in those "archives" where the "latest" is not really the latest anymore.
Update
There is now a nice page to select and download specific Dart versions https://www.dartlang.org/tools/download-archive/
Since a while there are also deb packages available which can be installed using
sudo apt-get install dart=1.7.0-dev.0.1.*
see https://www.dartlang.org/tools/debian.html for more details.

You can download from
http://gsdview.appspot.com/dart-archive/channels/stable/release/
The list only contains the build number but each folder contains a file VERSION that contains detailed version information for this build.
dev channel releases can be found here
http://gsdview.appspot.com/dart-archive/channels/dev/release/
there are also unsigned raw builds (bleeding edge) but it is not recommended to use them.

Hi
I am a noob trying to setup my computer so i can make a social networking website.
Sorry if its not kosher to ask here, but Hopefully one of you smart guys can help me.
I want to test some CMS (content management systems), firstly Elgg and then some others.
As far as ive read i can do this by using a virtual machine like VMware Player.
Now originally i wanted to try out Insoshi so i tried to use Cygwin and GitBash (also Putty tools) to download it (with no success). This involved me installing those programs and also trying to get an ssh environment variable working. So i gaveup on that (seeing that Elgg has more support anyhow i thought id try to try that). I uninstalled these programs, deleted leftover directories and deleted the added environment variable.
I also uninstalled DaemonTools (cos i thought it may be conflicting).
Im running Windows Vista 32bit and have always downloaded relevant installs for that system.
My problem is the VMware Player installer isn't doing anything. I launch it and it seems to hang straight away see pic
Am i missing something here?
Vmware page also suggests a virtual appliance (for cloud stuff) which i dont know much about yet. And i think that appliance is installed via the player else an image loader like Daemon Tools. Do i need this appliance first?
Why is the player not installing?
Ive tried both 3.14 and 3.13 build with same result?
I have about 4 gig of space left on my hd and have 3gig of ram.
I have looked at the programs installed on my computer and cant seem to find anything else that might conflict (but i am a n00b) and i also tried pausing my kapersky pure protection. Any help is severely appreciated, thanks.
As I recall there were a couple of conflicts with vmware
A quick look through the vmware forums I see:
visualsvn
virtualPC (no surprise)
nvidia 270.18 beta driver
avg
I also remember there being talk on the forums about a specific executable name which caused issues, but Im struggling to remember what it was.
start regedit.exe
Browse to the following sub-key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\
You should see keys named 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. In my case I had a folder named "L" before the 0.
Remove the key with "L" (actually it is "└", unicode #2514)
P.S. This is due to Microsoft screws up the registry Internet Zone settings in the registry. With the "└" key, it cause Javascript not to be called from an application.
Got it from here.
