Ha! I'm still at work and haven't tried anything, but I did a little more googling. DICOM is an acronym for a medical imaging standard, and there seem to be a variety of viewers, free and not. Gingko, in particular, looks interesting because it's mentioned in a Manjaro forum thread, and was still in active development relatively recently. It's available in the AUR (Arch User Repository), if not elsewhere.

Yes. One of our professors here did exactly that with an MRI image of his brain.

Thanks! I'm at work now, stuck on a Windows machine, but I googled "linux dicom viewer" and got some interesting results that I'll have to try later. I also brought the disc into work with me and tried the bundled Windows viewer. It offers the option to export the encrypted images, but exports them with no file extension, and I don't know what kind of files they are. GIMP opens them and display something, but I don't think it's displaying them correctly.

I picked up a copy of some x-rays and MRIs. They're on a CD, encrypted, with Windows viewer software. Has anyone figured out how to view these in Linux? I have the password to decrypt, I just don't know what software to use (without resorting to Windows). I think it may actually be a DICOM file format.

Marvellous Inc.

by Dennis Payne

I stumbled on an open source programming game. It is called Marvellous Inc. It is available on Steam and itch.io for $5. I downloaded the github source to try it. I had to make some modifications to get it running on love 11.2. You can download it from: https://github.com/dulsi/MarvInc To run it, install love. Grab the git repository. Go to the MarvInc/marv directory and run 'love .' I've written up an Open Game Source article about my playing around with the program. http://identicalsoftware.com/games/marvellousinc -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this Thursday on December 19th 2019! Location: WPI Campus Center Mid-Century room (our usual haunt) Date & Time: December 19th, 2019 Our speaker this month is Joshua Stone. He's going to giving a talk about a couple of cool technologies in Fedora! Josh provided me some details about these innovations so I've mashed them up and included them below. Silverblue: https://fedoramagazine.org/what-is-silverblue/ Toolbox: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolbox/ Flatpaks: https://flatpak.org/ *Silverblue* s a Fedora variant designed around immutability where a new system image is committed as the new /sysroot without affecting the state of the running system. This is reminiscent of Android A/B updates, although the update backend -- ostree -- has elements of a version control system like git. *Toolbox* is also interesting as it lets you switch into an unprivileged development environment that can be built up and torn down without affecting the host as tools are installed inside a container. *Flatpak* uses the same file storage backend as Silverblue to manage apps and shared runtimes. This app distribution technology allows you to decouple apps and operating systems as everything is built and run inside a sandbox, making upgrades easier. Compare needing only one version of an app to package as a flatpak, versus packaging for different versions. As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for dinner to continue the conversation.

Re: Plex media drive mount point

by Bill Minckler

ok, so no snap. a quick internet search of "/run/media/<user>" seems to point to a new automount location maybe. my ubuntu machine doesn't do this yet. That would probably happen when you log in, so if you want plex to run without you logging in, you would need to manually add it to fstab and put it somewhere else. On the permissions issue, it is possible that the user id of the plex user changed so it no longer has access (depends on who owned the directory structure in the last environment) Once you get the new location for the media drive, I would just chown or chmod everything that you want plex to have access to (but that's just me). Once you have it mounted, you could check the owner, group and permissions of a directory (not where the drive is mounted, use some subdirectory) with "ls -l", and we can look at those. Sorry if I intruded on anyone, I've been following the list, but the plex question struck a chord with me, I had this problem with a snap install before (and not realizing I was using a snap).

I installed Plex from AUR (I think that stands for Arch User Repository). This is the first time I've used an Arch-based distro. The ps output is attached, anyway. I bet mailman strips attachments.

Re: Plex media drive mount point

If Plex is installed as a snap, it can only see things in “/media”. I don’t know the district you are using so I don’t know how to check the package that is installed. Try “ps -ef | grep -i plex” (sorry if that command is odd or has odd flags). If it shows plex has snap in the name is an easy way to check.

Re: Plex media drive mount point

by Richard Klein

My guess is that it's sdb instead of sdb1 simply because there's only a single partition on the drive, but that's just a guess. Using the UUID seems safer, in any case. You're right, it's not in my home directory, per se, but it seems to effectively be another home directory; I'm the owner, and plex doesn't have the permissions it needs. I *can* rename, move, delete, and otherwise manipulate the files in there, but plex can't see them.

Re: Plex media drive mount point

by Andrew Oprea

Ok, I'm with you that Plex can't read the directory structure, but I don't think that drive is mounted in your home directory. Your home directory is /home/richspk right? The machine is mounting that drive at /run/media/richspk/Media I'm guessing that mount point is owned by your user, rather than root, or a group that Plex is part of. If you'd like to try mounting it back to /Media you'll need to make that directory with: # cd / # mkdir Media and then add a line to fstab to mount the device there: (here's my shot at it, no promises i get it right right first try) sdb /Media auto defaults This line makes me vaguely uncomfortable because I'm expecting the partition 'sdb1' rather than the drive 'sdb', but sdb is what it shows in your current devices. If it fails to mount, try: sdb1 /Media auto defaults or: UUID=946b363e-ec7e-49d1-a5f2-f06caf8e4e21 /Media auto defaults - Drew On Sat, Nov 30, 2019 at 11:09 PM Richard Klein via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > > It's a permissions issue; Plex doesn't have permission to read stuff in my home directory.

All my media for my Plex server was on a separate drive that was mounted at /Media. Now it's at /run/media/richspk/Media/, and Plex can't see anything below richspk. My /etc/fstab is much more spartan than I'd expected. sda is a Windows install, sdb is media, and sdc is the Manjaro install. Should I add /Media (sdb) to /etc/fstab, or should I mount it some other way?

Re: Plex media drive mount point

by Richard Klein

It's a permissions issue; Plex doesn't have permission to read stuff in my home directory.
