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

Dangit, I can't make the meeting this month, I've got a conflict I can't get out of that night. Will there be any slides or anything from the meeting? John

December WLUG Meeting! Topic: Fedora Silverblue, toolbox and Flatpaks!

by Tim Keller

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. Thanks, Tim Keller WLUG President -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Plex media drive mount point

by Richard Klein

I updated my fstab and rebooted, and I think it's working as it should (it's still scanning the libraries). I lost the metadata that keeps track of what I've watched, but that's not a big deal. Updated fstab attached for comparison.

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.
