[05:51] <Unit193> Ouch, xfce4-screensaver is borderline unmaintained, isn't it?
[09:37] <ochosi> guess that's ^ a question for bluesabre, no?
[10:06] <bluesabre> Yeah, it's not in a great place. :(
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <Unit193> (I missed the first part though, what the bug was...)
[10:11] <bluesabre> That bug
[10:11] <bluesabre> >.<
[10:13] <bluesabre> It seems to be graphics-driver-specific, and I don't have the affected hardware.
[10:15] <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
[10:16] <ochosi> yeah, I had my share of frustration around this topic with light-locker and after that I gave up
[10:17] <ochosi> maybe this will indeed be better with wayland, where not all clients are equal anymore
[10:18] <Unit193> bluesabre: I can check and see if that's his specific issue, if it'd help to find someone on IRC to debug?
[10:24] <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
[10:28] <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
[10:29] <Unit193> Dowh. :(
[21:38] <Unit193> bluesabre: ...Did you see I stupidly already packaged libxfcewl-0.0~git20220922.0dad675?
[21:46] <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)
[22:05] <Unit193> It's just a helper library.
