"},{"location":"desktop/desktop/#disabling-acpi-for-sleep","title":"Disabling ACPI for sleep","text":"

Somtimes we cannot sleep the computer due to ACPI devices being annoying. To fix this, we need to disable their wakeup ability.

The following command will look at the status of the ACPI devices:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup\n

The following command will toggle the status of the ACPI device:

echo GP12 > /proc/acpi/wakeup\n

To make the changes persistant, we shall use a oneshot systemd service.

This Remote Nvim Plugin is the plugin that we are using for remote development.

It requires lazy.nvim for install, but we are using vim-plug.

To address this issue, we need to call setup in our nvim config, such as in this example issue: Reference Github Issue

Our config will have this for remote-nvim plugin.

lua <<EOF\nrequire(\"remote-nvim\").setup({\n    transparent_background = true, -- disables setting the background color.\n})\nEOF\n

Usually the date format is not in AM/PM. Unfortunately, I'm American, so here's how I change it.

  1. Go to settings in Thunderbird.
  2. Change Date and Time Formatting to Regional settings locale.
  3. Go to config editor at the bottom of general settings.
  4. Create new config string intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short.
  5. Format follows datetime format, I use hh:mmaaaa.
  6. Restart Thunderbird.
