[13:56] 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? [14:05] 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] for most of them this works just fine ... [14:05] but some dont ever accept touchpad input at all (keyboard works fine) [14:05] i.e. [14:05] Xmir :2 -rootless -flatten -terminate --desktop_file_hint=evolution.desktop & DISPLAY=:2 evolution & [14:06] that gets me a properly working evolution ... but only usable via kbd navigation [14:06] while: [14:06] Xmir :2 -rootless -flatten -terminate --desktop_file_hint=hexchat.desktop & DISPLAY=:3 hexchat & [14:06] err [14:06] Xmir :3 -rootless -flatten -terminate --desktop_file_hint=hexchat.desktop & DISPLAY=:3 hexchat & [14:06] gets me fully working input for everything [14:11] i couldnt find a bug for this ... [14:14] 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? [14:20] 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 [14:21] 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) [14:22] dandrader: do you want the interface to be same as "display on" (active until you ctrl-c)? [14:23] alf_, yep. that how "powerd-cli active" used to work [14:24] 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] alf_, should I report a bug or something to keep track of this request? [14:24] dandrader: sure, that would be great [14:32] alf_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/repowerd/+bug/1618072 [14:32] Launchpad bug 1618072 in repowerd "Missing "powerd-cli active"" [Undecided,New] [14:32] dandrader: thanks [14:33] dandrader: in the meantime you can talk directly to dbus to achieve the same effect [14:41] alf_, cool, so what would be the command line? [14:49] 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 === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
