QUESTION
I am creating a handy launcher on the desktop in Linux. It is a launcher of type Application, which I believe needs to run code inside bash -c ''
.
When clicked in sequence, this launcher opens the volume applet, then the Bluetooth applet, then it closes both windows. The if-statement works as desired in shell as follows:

QUESTION
I would like to programmatically detect the active window, and its meta data -- like app name and title -- in Chromebook's Linux Crostini. Does anyone know how this can reliably be done?
FWIW, I've already tried the following three methods in python that, when combined, provide a full solution for Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro, Mint, etc. But none of them work on Crostini.

The first gets the tree of running windows.
QUESTION
Two windows of 'mousepad' (executed by different terminals), for instance, share same pid. There is only one entry in "ps -e | grep mousepad" and "wmctrl -p -l" indicates that the two windows have same pid. I am trying to create an application which is based on 'pid' and multiple windows of the same application must have different pid. Is there a way to force application to create new instance?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-07 at 19:31Why do multiple windows of some applications share same pid?
Many programs - not only under Linux but also under Windows - first check if the program is already started.
If yes, the new instance of the program sends some information to the already running instance telling that instance that a new window shall be opened.
Then the new instance is exiting.
This means that only one instance (the one that has been started first) is running.
Is there a way to force application to create new instance?
Some programs (like Microsoft Office under Windows) have the possibility to disable this behaviour in the program's settings.
Unfortunately, I don't know about "mousepad".
However, there seems to be no possibility to do this independently of the specific program. (... if the program does not have such a setting.)
Maybe it is possible to find out how a program detects if another instance is already running and to "block" this detection somehow...
QUESTION
I had a working DjangoCMS application running DjangoCMS 3.7.1 and Django 2.2, however after I just bumped the DjangoCMS version to 3.7.2 and with it, Django to 3.0.1, I am now getting a render error on a page that I have a simple list view.
The site will load my custom account login page just fine, but once logged in, the listview breaks and displays this error: Traceback
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-27 at 13:38I ran into the same issue upgrading DjangoCMS to 3.7.2. I believe the context argument was removed in Django 3 (source). The problem for me was djangocms-text-ckeditor doesn't support Django 3 yet. More specifically, HTMLField in my model didn't work. I opened an issue here if you want to comment on it as others have done. Maybe it will get them to fix it sooner. For now, you will probably have to wait till it's fixed. Cheers!
