actually you cant. Fedora 28 has not branched from rawhide yet and they are fairly behind schedule according to the proposed schedule

#4864

ah dammit Fedora, why’d you ruin it :frowning:

no idea. fedora does not keep the wikis the most upto date XD

#4868

figures, I’ll have to keep an eye on it then.

#4869

im guessing they will have it branch around that time period anyway because a branch does not do much besides just cloning the rawhide repo

yep possibly, slightly concerned about running it if its behind but fuck it, i’m gonna do it anyway :smiley:

#4871

they always run a little behind because they try and crunch the schedule together

#4872

Isn’t that always the case, only had a couple of issues with it the last time and hoping for the same.

Midge: “Yeah, but what do I do?”
Bob: “You fill out that sweater real nice.”

I miss those times.

@Michael know of a way to slow down a whlie loop? this is running way to fast to give a nice effect :frowning:

#!/bin/bash

while true
do
        counter=0
        while [ $counter -le 254 ]
        do
                echo $counter > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
                (( counter++ ))

        done
        while [ $counter -ge 1 ]
        do
                echo $counter > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
                (( counter-- ))

        done
done

not sure other than maybe sleep but don’t know how well that’d work.

#4877

It’s funnier than I remember. Seems like I forgot a huge part of the whole show.
And I find myself agreeing with Red most of the time (grumpy, conservative old man).

#4878

yep. problem with sleep is that it only goes down to 1 second increments and sleep does not do much :slight_smile:

#4879

hmm yeah, so you only want to slow it down a very small amount or get it to a very specific speed? I’ll have a think about it and see if I can come up with something.

#4880

ideally i would want some kind of adjustable speed but i would rather it work than not.

This script when it works will add a breathing effect to the keyboard backlight
