Should new driver set new environment variable export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD by default when installed and to remove when deinstalled?

      hi Demm,

      I just discovered BashTop, a really cool system monitoring thing written entirely in Bash, see here:
      https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/04/bashtop-is-cool-linux-resource-monitor.html

      It depends on core packages we already have in KaOS (this is the PKGBUILD for Arch):

      # Maintainer: Sébastien Luttringer

pkgname=bashtop
pkgver=0.8.15
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Linux resource monitor'
arch=('any')
url="https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop"
license=('Apache')
depends=('bash' 'coreutils' 'grep' 'sed' 'gawk' 'procps-ng')
makedepends=('git')
optdepends=(
  'curl: themes download'
  'lm_sensors: cpu temperatures'
)
source=("git+https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop.git#tag=v$pkgver")
sha256sums=('SKIP')

package() {
	cd $pkgname
	install -Dm755 bashtop -t "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
}

      I would love to see this one added, since it would take very little extra package space to get part of default KaOS. What do you think?

      If it's a bad idea, let me know, I'll add it on KCP...

      Cheers,
      Gunther

        BashTop, Very nice.:

        demm I would like to see glabels added. It would help those who need to label CDs/DVDs and to generate Jewel Case inserts. The latest version can also make Bar Codes. Someone compiled it for me before, but I have lost it.

          @chief Pretty sure this was asked before, and nothing changed, that app is complete Gnome based, requires just about the full Gnome stack, so, certainly won't be included.

          https://github.com/jimevins/glabels-qt will be an option though, but not ready yet it seems.

            demm Understood. I was able to install glabels-qt-git r561.142aaf by installing cmake and removing zint dependency from the PKGBUILD. I don't really need barcode stuff. It executes, but I haven't tried using it yet.

              Zint can be added, doesn't add any extra, let me know if it works good enough (as in stable to execute some options), then it will be added.

                demm Okay. I am streaming Mass @10AM and then I am going to exercise. I'll try this afternoon.

                  demm I designed an printed one Avery Label and the app stayed stable throughout.

                    Thanks demm. installed it.

                    Please ask question about apps in your own thread, GIMP or Krita have nothing to do with this topic, they always have been in the KaOS repo.
