| Unit193 | Ouch, xfce4-screensaver is borderline unmaintained, isn't it? | 05:51 |
|---|---|---|
| ochosi | guess that's ^ a question for bluesabre, no? | 09:37 |
| bluesabre | Yeah, it's not in a great place. :( | 10:06 |
| Unit193 | It came up, xfce4-screensaver issue #1 doesn't look good, and a Gentoo user that also uses Xubuntu hit the same (critical?) bug there and here. :3 | 10:09 |
| Unit193 | (I missed the first part though, what the bug was...) | 10:10 |
| bluesabre | That bug | 10:11 |
| bluesabre | >.< | 10:11 |
| bluesabre | It seems to be graphics-driver-specific, and I don't have the affected hardware. | 10:13 |
| bluesabre | That one bug alone had me starting work on a xscreensaver+xfce shim to add some extra events and timers to xscreensaver to replace xfce4-screensaver. | 10:15 |
| bluesabre | It's frustrating | 10:15 |
| ochosi | yeah, I had my share of frustration around this topic with light-locker and after that I gave up | 10:16 |
| ochosi | maybe this will indeed be better with wayland, where not all clients are equal anymore | 10:17 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: I can check and see if that's his specific issue, if it'd help to find someone on IRC to debug? | 10:18 |
| bluesabre | I've had no luck with the debugging so far. Some drivers just refuse to draw a big black screen, seemingly. I'd hoped that with the bug sitting out there so long, somebody would come up with a patch, but so far nada. | 10:24 |
| Unit193 | Ouch...Yeah, he had switched back to xscreensaver too, so dangit about the shim thingy. :3 | 10:24 |
| bluesabre | It looks like a I made a pretty big dent on that shim in a private repo... maybe I'll finish that up and let folks test | 10:28 |
| Unit193 | Dowh. :( | 10:29 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: ...Did you see I stupidly already packaged libxfcewl-0.0~git20220922.0dad675? | 21:38 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: I did not! Is this just a library to build against, or is it a functional wlroots client, (or something else, I've only been kinda paying attention lately) | 21:46 |
| Unit193 | It's just a helper library. | 22:05 |
