I have a Linux Manjaro KDE OS. I am very new to this system. My laptop screen is 10" in which makes it a bit difficult to do programming homework on. So, I tried to install DisplayLink and use a regular HDMI port as well to make a dual screen happen on 2
separate screens from my laptop. The regular HDMI screen attachment works fine to a point(settings will not save after restart despite choosing the options for this display only and making it the primary upon restarting I am constantly having to reset all of my settings). I have already tried to join the Manjaro public forums but never heard a response back for just joining meaning I did not make it past "Go". I am hoping that I am not overstepping boundaries here, but I believe there may be some coding involved in getting my DisplayLink connection to work (and possibly my settings to stick). I have already went to pamac and installed the required DisplayLink application there, but to no avail. Please help! I have some experience with Python, terminal, and other forms of coding.

Trying to setup my both work laptops, windows, and Macbook connecting to 2 monitors, a set of keyboard and mouse and switch between them whenever needed? I thought of using a KVM but need recommendations on which one is better? Also I am reading software KVM's replacing hardware KVM's? So not sure which is the better approach. Any help is appreciated.
I've been using a STM32H753I-EVAL2 board for several months now.
Last week I was suddenly not able to connect to the board anymore (tried with several tools: GDB, STM32cubeProgrammer, always same message like "STLink error"). I of course checked the driver was correctly installed and was the right one, reinstalled it, changed USB cable and ports. Also tried to connect to a Nucleo which was fine.
I randomly tried to change the power supply of the board from PSU (ie. powering through external power supply) to STLink (powering through USB) and it solved the issue. I was happy as I thought it was just a hardware issue like a conflict between both power supplies.
But today the board was not connecting anymore again. So I switched back the alim to PSU and it worked !
Did someone experience the same issue ? Or does it trigger something for someone ?
The setup:
OSX Yosemite.
Ableton Live 9 (Suite).
Crossover/Wine (14.0.3).
Connected device is a Novation Launchpad Mini (USB).
The problem:
The install of Ableton and most of its use work well. I have compiled and successfully installed wineasio.dll (wineasio.dll.so) to obtain low latency audio, again this works extremely well.
But what I am finding is the communication between the LP and Live is somewhat sporadic. examples of this are, having to list the LP in the midi in/out section of live multiple times just to get it to behave correctly (mostly), pads/lights randomly lighting/becoming non responsive, active tracks not showing (lighting up)
There is no pattern in all this. bug what i can say this setup works without problems in windows and OSX (obviously)
before you ask I'm having to use WINE as one of my favourite VST's is only windows based.
if someone can recommend a VM based solution (with low latency audio/ Midi) i will welcome it.
I bought my Arduino Uno R3 a few months ago. It's been working like a charm since then, but today, it stopped interfacing with my computer. Let me be more specific. I have a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). It has the latest Arduino IDE installed.
I was using it today and after uploading a simple sketch (it worked for a little while) my Mac stopped recognizing it, and since, I haven't been able to access it. The LED connected to Pin 13 stays on 100% of the time. The RX/TX LEDs don't flash, but the main functions of my sketch (other than the serial functions).
Have I screwed my Arduino's Serial chip? What can I do? I am only 15, so another $30 is a little bit too much to spend to get another one.... :)
Thanks!!
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I have tried my other Windows computer, and another cable, just to rule out those possibilities.
That is a very common issue with Arduino. I used to face that problem all the time while using Arduino. Though I never really found a solution for this, the problem did go away after sometime. Did you try resetting the uC using the reset button on the board, or restarting the IDE or your system if neither worked?
Make sure you have chosen the right COM port. On a windows system you can do this by going to device manager and look for the ports tab under it.
I have two computers; one MacBook Pro and one desktop PC running Windows. For various reasons I prefer writing code on the MacBook, while I keep the desktop PC mostly for gaming and entertainment purposes.
Since I've gotten so used to programming on an OSX keyboard layout, I often find it cumbersome to start working on something while I'm on my Windows computer. And since I'm ridiculously lazy I also find it cumbersome to get my laptop out of my bag so I can switch to using that instead. This usually results in me not bothering to do much work while I'm on my desktop (which depressingly enough is most of my evenings).
I guess I'm looking for a way to quickly enable an OSX keyboard layout in Windows. I'd also like to run Ubuntu in a VM on Windows, and use the OSX keyboard there as well.
Possible?
You can use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to create a custom keyboard layout on Windows that mirrors the Mac OS one.
Ubuntu has an infinitely flexible and impossibly complicated keyboard layout system called XKB, which has limited documentation. Ubuntu probably already has all the data for the Mac keyboard layout you want stored among the hundreds of files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/, but figuring out how to load it will drive you crazy. You might have luck asking about this on Ask Ubuntu or the Unix stack exchange.
You could have a look at Synergy, using your Mac keyboard on both the PC and Mac.
