| dandrader | alf_, is there an equivalent of "powerd-cli active" for repowerd? | 13:56 |
|---|---|---|
| dandrader | alf_, I want to ensure the device never does to sleep or anything like that without having to resort to keeping the display on. is there a way? | 13:56 |
| ogra_ | so i was trying out unity8 on my laptop on the weekend ... and since i want to run my existing X apps (instead of installing duplicates in libertine wasting diskspace) i started them in Xmir windows ... | 14:05 |
| ogra_ | for most of them this works just fine ... | 14:05 |
| ogra_ | but some dont ever accept touchpad input at all (keyboard works fine) | 14:05 |
| ogra_ | i.e. | 14:05 |
| ogra_ | Xmir :2 -rootless -flatten -terminate --desktop_file_hint=evolution.desktop & DISPLAY=:2 evolution & | 14:05 |
| ogra_ | that gets me a properly working evolution ... but only usable via kbd navigation | 14:06 |
| ogra_ | while: | 14:06 |
| ogra_ | Xmir :2 -rootless -flatten -terminate --desktop_file_hint=hexchat.desktop & DISPLAY=:3 hexchat & | 14:06 |
| ogra_ | err | 14:06 |
| ogra_ | Xmir :3 -rootless -flatten -terminate --desktop_file_hint=hexchat.desktop & DISPLAY=:3 hexchat & | 14:06 |
| ogra_ | gets me fully working input for everything | 14:06 |
| ogra_ | i couldnt find a bug for this ... | 14:11 |
| alf_ | dandrader: Νot at the moment, but it would be straightforward to add. Do you need it for local experiments, or does it have to be part of the official package? | 14:14 |
| dandrader | alf_, official package. I believe it's a common usecase during development: You have a device on with multiple ssh connections to it. Unless you keep the display on the connections will become slow or stop responding overtime | 14:20 |
| dandrader | alf_, keeping the display on just to get the device responsive, beside the extra battery drain, won't do any good for the display itself (will burn in) | 14:21 |
| alf_ | dandrader: do you want the interface to be same as "display on" (active until you ctrl-c)? | 14:22 |
| dandrader | alf_, yep. that how "powerd-cli active" used to work | 14:23 |
| alf_ | dandrader: ok, I think I can have it upstream soon, but publishing a new package may take some time due to the freeze | 14:24 |
| dandrader | alf_, should I report a bug or something to keep track of this request? | 14:24 |
| alf_ | dandrader: sure, that would be great | 14:24 |
| dandrader | alf_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/repowerd/+bug/1618072 | 14:32 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1618072 in repowerd "Missing "powerd-cli active"" [Undecided,New] | 14:32 |
| alf_ | dandrader: thanks | 14:32 |
| alf_ | dandrader: in the meantime you can talk directly to dbus to achieve the same effect | 14:33 |
| dandrader | alf_, cool, so what would be the command line? | 14:41 |
| alf_ | dandrader: actually, now that I try it, you can't with the existing dbus tools, because they exit after making the call, and the request is cancelled | 14:49 |
