nmcli unable to connect to password protected home WiFi
Hey, I am trying to connect to my home WiFi using nmcli but can't seem to connect.
The error is
Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.
The journal logs are at the bottom.
Some context:
- I am using arch linux ARM on a raspberry pi 4
- I am able to connect to non-password protected networks (I created one by using a hotspot on my phone). Once I set a password for the hotspot, I am unable to connect to the same network
- I've tried the solutions in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Secrets_were_required.2C_but_not_provided, but no success
- Previously, I was using
netctl/netctl-autoand it worked for my use case for a while. But one day, it cannot connect so I can't ssh into my pi for a few days. I got frustrated and uninstalled it and installednmcliwhich I am more familiar with. But now I can't seem to connect to a password protected network, so looking back, maybe it wasn't netctl that was the root cause of the issue.

Best way to get recommended videos
I know there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding YouTube's recommendation algorithms, but I can't seem to find a better alternative. What are the ways y'all find videos that are of interest?
I know we could use RSS and subscribe to our desired channels and get a better experience than YT's own subscription system, but what about channel/video discovery, those that you've never seen before? Is there a better way to find a video that might be interesting to you without kneeling before the almighty algorithm? Half of the recommended page on YT seems irrelevant to me, but I can't seem to find a better alternative.
so don’t ever send anything you don’t absolutely have to.
Hmm I was thinking that after I've establish a base and was going to optimize, I think that setting the multiplayer nodes to be manually updated should be ok rather than having them done periodically, since a card game game state progress at fixed events rather than being real time.
but I generally personally prefer modifier parent nodes because the tree is very efficient and it seems to allow for more flexibility.
One downside with nodes that I noticed is that if we store the cards in the deck as nodes under a deck node, it becomes rather annoying to manipulate them, eg shuffle them, as compared to list. Would that be enough a drawback to reconsider using a list instead?
Quick advise on multiplayer deck builder
Hey, I am planning on building a co-op multi-player deck builder as a side project, nothing fancy or grand of sorts.
I'm kinda new to this Godot thing, but I kinda get the gist of it. Was always interested in it.
I have prior experience with Game Maker and Unity, so picking up the basics was rather simple, given that I also do programming as a job. So don't simply dismiss this as too ambitious a project to start with when learning Godot.
I just want to ask it out there, are there any advise on how I should structure the code or any advise in general? Just want to be prepared for issues in the future and plan for it.
Basically, my initial idea of the game is think of multiplayer Slay the Spire. But I want a more elaborate upgrade system to the cards, closer to Wild Frost.
For now, my head space for the design is to have:
- Card details, ie names + descriptions + image are resources since they are data that are "loaded in".
- Actual cards that exists throughout the run would be actual nodes, with modifiers as child nodes + Multiplayer spawners to syncrhonise them. Base cards will pull details from the resource and have an empty modifier
- I previously tried to build it using Multiplayer Synchronizer, but then suddenly realized I can only sync simple properties. It didn't let me create a custom node and synchronize it. Then I had to resort to some ID system for the object which became rather messy.
- Based on my current testing, Multiplayer Spawner seems to do its job better.
- Should I use a "modifier node" + children to indicate the list of effects, or an array variable? I'm not too sure when to use the node to organize data vs using an array variable
- The actual cards are stored as a global node, which would be moved to the "playfield deck node" during the gameplay portion
Lemme know if there is some obvious flaw in my approach or if there's a better way to do things. Or if such a project may be too ambitious with the current multiplayer library for Godot.
Especially the multiplayer aspects, since there is not "a lot" of tutorials on it, I feel like there's a few pitfalls that is waiting for me.
Oh, ticks are rare in my region, that's why I have no prior experience with them.
I was thinking in the context of us slapping the mosquito would be equivalent to slamming a thumbtack into your skin which could increase the damage dealt and penetration depth.
Mosquito splinters
Just a random shower thought.
Mosquito's proboscis is sharp enough to penetrate your skin. So when you smack it while it is in the process of drawing your blood, isn't there a chance of its proboscis being forcefully jammed into your skin, leading to some sort of "splinter"? Or does it somehow loses its stiffness the moment it feels the impact?
I've never encountered nor heard of such occurrence in my lifetime of killing those buggers, but wondering if such a thing is even possible. If such could happen, I could only imagine the risk associated with having a piece of foreign organic matter being embed in the body
Oh, I didn't knew you can pass 2 is. I was depending on the tab completion from pacman, but I didn't see that it says you could specify i's
Ah, it worked. I thought Qi only works for packages that are already installed.
Didn't knew it worked for things that are synced as a new dependency of a package
How to know why a package is being updated/installed
Hey, sometimes when I do pacman -Syu, I see some weird package being installed and I am curious which explicitly installed package is installing/updating it.
How do I so with pacman?
I know we can easily find out why an installed package is being installed, but what about before the package is being installed?
Tried the settings on the GitHub, doesn't seem to work, and it also made the stuttering worse
opengl-pbo=yes
opengl-early-flush=no.
video-sync=display-resample
ok, here you go
Yea, it seems to be using 200% CPU.
But I have vo=gpu though, so I'd thought the GPU would've taken some of the load.
If I am strapped for CPU resources, how do I make it so that MPV buffer or something instead of dropping the audio when this happens? Cause it is strange the even though the visuals are acceptable, it is the audio that fails before the video
MPV dropping frames and audio
I've tried searching around and stuff but I couldn't find a working solution
Background: I am running Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi, mainly as a media player.
When I run MPV, it seems to drop frames (1-2 per second). Visually, nothing looks wrong so I am fine with that.
The issue is that after playing for some duration, the audio will just disappear. I would then need to pause the video for a while or seek backwards for the audio to come back (sometimes it just comes back on its own when I leave it playing too). I suspect it may be due to the dropped frames or maybe it's due to insufficient system resource.
Could someone help suggest some config changes which may help with the issue? I am totally fine with the visual dropped frames, I just want to fix the audio issue.
This is my config.
input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket ao=pipewire volume=120 demuxer-readahead-secs=3 cache=yes
are you running it from a tty on login
Yea, directly on tty.
I imagine these are two separate issues.
I'd think they are related since mpv is working fine on Xwayland but not when I launch alacritty instead

That shouldn't be the problem since I'm using pipewire and it is working in the Xwayland session.
When I launch into alacritty, I also checked that pipewire + wireplumber were both active
I tried with cage + Xwayland and that works perfectly, so I highly doubt that is the issue.
Maybe it is something to do with cage + alacritty that is causing it, but I'm not too well versed in the Wayland stuff to know if spawning a terminal application may somehow not support audio.
Missing audio with MPV + Wayland
So I know my setup is really niche, but here goes nothing
- I am using Arch Pi on Pi 4
- Installed
cageas a lightweight Wayland compositor - Installed
mpv + wireplumber + pipewire
I am not quite sure how to use cage to launch a simple "Wayland session (if it even makes sense)", so that I can send MPV to that display.
So I tried cage -s alacritty :1, and it does launch alacritty with it detecting that it is on wayland.
But when I do DISPLAY=:1 mpv ...., the video runs, but there's no audio.
Also there's no errors shown on mpv either.
The other thing of note is that I tried cage -s Xwayland :1 and the audio+video works perfectly.
So in all:
- How do I launch
cageto spawn a simple Wayland session? Is this even possible? - How do I solve the audio issue on Wayland?
EDIT: Thanks all for the help.
After some investigation, I found out the pipewire somehow is not ran on startup of alacritty, but it did for Xwayland.
I noticed that the first play of the video would be audio-less on alacritty, and subsequent ones are fine.
It seems like the first run causes pipewire to be started and thus I wrongfully assumed that the daemon was running.
Still strange nonetheless...
I think there's a spectrum here, and I'll clarify the stances.
The spectrum ranges from "Data shouldn't cause the function to do (something wildly) different" to "It should be allowed, even to the point of variable returns"
I think you stand on the former while I stand on the latter. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but that's the vibe I'm getting from the tone in your example.
Data shouldn’t drive the program in this way.
Suppose we have a function that calculates a price of an object.
I feel it is agreeable for us to have compute_price(with_discount: bool), over compute_price_with_discount() + compute_price_without_discount()
You’ve basically spelled:
I feel your point your making in the example is a bit exaggerated.
Again, coming back to my above example, I don't think we would construe it as compute_price('with_discount').
Maybe this is bandwagoning, but one of the reason for my stance is that there are quite a few examples of variable returns.
eg:
getattrmay return a different type base on the key given- quite a few functions in
numpyreturns different things based on flags. SVD will returnSifcompute_uv=FalseandS,U,Votherwise
I thought about it, but it isn't as expressive as I wished.
Meaning if I do
a = foo(return_more=True)
or
a, b = foo(return_more=False)
it doesn't catch these errors for me.
In comparison, the other suggested solution does catch these.
yea, this is pretty close to what I'm looking for.
The only missing piece is the ability to define the overload methods on the bool
something like
@overload
def foo(return_more: True) -> (Data, Data)
@overload
def foo(return_more: False) -> Data
But I don't think such constructs are possible? I know it is possible in Typescript to define the types using constants, but I don't suppose Python allows for this?
EDIT: At first, when I tried the above, the typechecker said Literal[True] was not expected and I thought it was not possible.
But after experimenting some, I figured out that it is actually possible.
Added my solution to the OP
Thanks for the tip!
but from a practical perspective, let's say you retrieve an object and can either return a subset of its fields as your API. Doesn't it make sense to re-use the same function, but change what fields are returned?
I'm specifically talking about the narrow use-case where your API returns either A or B of the fields, and won't extend it in the future
The alternative is to either duplicate the function, or extract it out which seems a bit overkill if it is only 2 different type of functions.
Typehints for functions that have variable signatures
I know what I am asking is rather niche, but it has been bugging me for quite a while. Suppose I have the following function:
python def foo(return_more: bool): .... if return_more: return data, more_data return data
You can imagine it is a function that may return more data if given a flag.
How should I typehint this function? When I use the function in both ways ``` data = foo(False)
data, more_data = foo(True) ```
either the first or the 2nd statement would say that the function cannot be assigned due to wrong size of return tuple.
Is having variable signature an anti-pattern? Is Python's typehinting mechanism not powerful enough and thus I am forced to ignore this error?
Edit:
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I was enlightened by this suggestion about the existence of overload
and this solution fit my requirements perfectly
``` from typing import overload, Literal
@overload def foo(return_more: Literal[False]) -> Data: ...
@overload def foo(return_more: Literal[True]) -> tuple[Data, OtherData]: ...
def foo(return_more: bool) -> Data | tuple[Data, OtherData]: .... if return_more: return data, more_data return data
a = foo(False) a,b = foo(True) a,b = foo(False) # correctly identified as illegal ```
