Simply navigate to the Keys configuration of your device on FusionPBX and add |** to the end of the number.

See the example below.

netbird completion fish > .config/fish/completions/netbird.fish

This will work for fish shell.

Launch bluetoohctl
# bluetoothctl

Turn on scanning
[bluetooth]# scan on

You will then see your keyboard
[NEW] Device 01:02:03:04:05:06 MX Keys

Select the device to pair
[bluetooth]# pair 01:02:03:04:05:06

You will see a pair code printed. Type that with they keyboard and hit enter.

Trust it
[bluetooth]# trust 01:02:03:04:05:06

Connect
[bluetooth]# connect 01:02:03:04:05:06

• Launch Firefox with the -P command line parameter
• Navigate to about:profiles and launch it from there

I wanted to have two separate taskbar icons that can help me differentiate between my profiles. In my case, Work and Personal.

I found a post on the ZorinOS forums that helped get me with this and I wanted to document it here in case that post ever gets removed.

This relies on creating seperate .desktop files for each profile and linking them to different icons. Below are my two sample files as well as my choices for the icons. I use blue for Work and the normal orange for Personal.

Work .desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Version = 1.5
Icon = /usr/share/icons/firefox-work.webp
Type = Application
Name = Firefox – Work
GenericName = Firefox - Work
Comment = Firefox - Work
Terminal = false
Exec = firefox -P Work --class firefox_work --new-window
StartupWMClass=firefox_work
Categories=WebBrowser;
Keywords=web;browser;internet;
Actions=new-window;new-private-window;

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=firefox -P Work --class firefox_work --new-window %u

[Desktop Action new-private-window]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=firefox -P Work --name firefox_work --private-window %u

Personal .desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Version = 1.5
Icon = /usr/share/icons/firefox-personal.webp
Type = Application
Name = Firefox – Personal
GenericName = Firefox - Personal
Comment = Firefox - Personal
Terminal = false
Exec = firefox -P Personal --no-remote --class firefox_personal --new-window
StartupWMClass=firefox_personal
Categories=WebBrowser;
Keywords=web;browser;internet;
Actions=new-window;new-private-window;

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=firefox -P Personal --no-remote --class firefox_personal --new-window %u

[Desktop Action new-private-window]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=firefox -P Personal --no-remote --name firefox_personal --private-window %u

Conclusion

Place these .desktop files in the /usr/share/applicaitons folder and make sure to add your image files to have different icons to /usr/share/icons.

One thing that you may or may not have noticed is that my work profile does not have the –no-remote parameter. This is excluded so that my work profile will be used to open links from other applications.

I have set this up on Linux Mint however it may work for other distros/desktop environments.

What I ended up figuring out was that in Linux Mint, I can modify the .desktop file that Firefox ships with to add an additional option to the right-click menu on the grouped window taskbar applet.

The default options that Firefox ships with are great but I want to add another for “Select a Profile”.

At the time of writing, Linux Mint stores it’s firefox.desktop (and a lot of other .desktop files) in the /usr/share/applications folder.

Let’s edit that file. You will first see a [Desktop Entry] on the first line. Scroll down until you see:

Actions=new-window;new-private-window;

And convert it to say:

Actions=new-window;new-private-window;new-profile;

Next, right below that, add a few new lines and the following text:

[Desktop Action new-profile]
Name=New Profile
Exec=firefox -P

Save the file.

The last step you need to do to make this live is to press Alt+F2 and then type r in the prompt and Enter. This will restart Cinnamon.

Now when you right-click the firefox image, you will see the following:

I suspected that the phone must be pulling it’s config periodically and that the provisioning template may be overriding what the user has set.

I logged into the web interface of one of the phones and manually set the volume to 1. I then manually provisioned the phone via PBXacT and it did indeed change the value to the max.

To stop this from happening, we will need to edit the base file of the template.

Go to Endpoint Manager > Basefile Edit and choose your template. Next choose the model of phone that you’d like to fix from the list on the left side.

Search the XML for vol_ringer and click on that line.

On the popup, edit the Perm field, which should be blank, and add a !

It should look like this:

The ! means that if the user has modified this setting, the phone should keep the modified option by the user. If the user has not modified this option, then the phone should take the provisioned value.

I wanted to be able to disable the system from allowing the mic driver to be loaded so that it can never be used. To accomplish this I used the Linux udev rules to stop the kernel from loading the audio drivers for my device specifically.

Step 1: Find your device’s ID

$ lsusb | grep -i 'camera\|dualshock'
    Bus 001 Device 016: ID 0c45:636b Microdia USB 2.0 Camera
    Bus 001 Device 009: ID 054c:09cc Sony Corp. DualShock 4

Step 2: Create a udev rule

Below are the two file we will create.

/etc/udev/rules.d/01-webcam-mic.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/02-dualshock-mic.rules

Create the following rule:

sudo printf "# Block Mic from Webcam\nSUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", DRIVER==\"snd-usb-audio\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0c45\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"636b\", ATTR{authorized}=\"0\"" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/01-webcam-mic.rules

sudo printf "# Block Mic from Dual Shock 4\nSUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", DRIVER==\"snd-usb-audio\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"054c\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"09cc\", ATTR{authorized}=\"0\"" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/02-dualshock-mic.rules

Step 3: Reload the udev rules

$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Step 4: Reboot

$ sudo reboot

I would have to go into the settings or type Super+P to get it joined again which, over the course of a day, can be many times.

I worked with System 76’s support team and we were able to resolve it.

I wanted to share the solution in-case anyone runs into this issue in the future.

The following command, as the man page states, “disables DPMS (Energy Star) features”.

xset -dpms

The error:

error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature 'bool_to_option'
   --> src/config.rs:636:57

    = note: see issue #80967 <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/80967> for more information

To me this werror meant nothing. Apparently, according to a github issue, there is a bug in the Rust compiler. To fix this we need to uninstall rust from the Ubuntu/Lint repository and install it using a different command.

$> sudo apt remove rustc
$> curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Next you will need to exit out of your terminal emulator.

Finally you can follow the install instructions provided here.

The instructions below assume that you have mycroft-core installed in your home directory ~

Step 1: Install Mimc3

Mimc3 can be installed a few different ways. See here for documentation.

I will be installing using python pip.

Install the necessary system packages:

sudo apt-get install libespeak-ng1

First, ensure that you’re using the latest pip:

mycroft-pip install --upgrade pip

Then, install the package:

mycroft-pip install mycroft-plugin-tts-mimic3[en]

You can replace [en] with your language or with [all].

Note: The mycroft-pip binary is in the ~/mycroft-core/bin folder

Enable the plugin

mycroft-config set tts.module mimic3_tts_plug

Step 2: Adjust the $PATH

If you were to launch mycroft-core now, you would not hear any audio. That may be because your .local/bin folder is not in your $PATH.

You can fix that with the following command:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/home/$USER/.local/bin"' >> .bashrc

That should be all you need to get started with Mimic3
