  • Synergy doesn't detect KScreensaver 4.x Activation

    I'm running the Synergy server on a dual-head KDE 4 system and a single-head IceWM system and Synergy doesn't trigger the screensaver on my xscreensaver-using client unless I swap out KScreensaver for XScreensaver on the server. (Which I don't want to do because xscreensaver runs one saver per screen while kscreensaver spans one across both heads) For compatibility, I suggest using the new...

  • Comment: SMP CPU monitor counts I/O wait as CPU usage

    My life has become VERY busy in the last little while. I'm not sure how long it'll be before I can test your patch. It'll be at least a week though.

  • Comment: SMP CPU monitor counts I/O wait as CPU usage

    Here's a cat of /proc/stat while MVing a large movie from one drive to another. Aside from MV, the CPU was at 0% on the first core and wavering below 5% on the second. That single MV was enough to make the lcdproc monitor jump to wavering between 25% and 100% on the second core, despite being I/O-bound and not a significant CPU consumer according to other monitors. File Added: proc_stat3.txt.

  • Comment: Minimum win32 patch

    The GPL requires that any code you link against be re-licensable under the GPL to ensure that people cannot cripple or restrict your code by adding a dependency on something less free. The unrar.dll license is not a compatible subset of the GPL like BSD/MIT/X11 licenses are and does not include a clause which allows license conversion.

  • Comment: Minimum win32 patch

    Unfortunately, you can't use unrar.dll/libunrar.so because the license is GPL-incompatible. As for making it work on Windows, I've never tried it, but the proper solution for RAR would be to use the appropriate module from win32all to look up the install locations for WinRAR's batch file scriptable utility or 7-zip in the registry.

  • Comment: Gnome VFS Support

    I did a little googling and, theoretically, all you should need to do to support this is add this snippet of code to your initialization: try: import gio Open = gio.File except ImportError: try: import gnomevfs Open = gnomevfs.Handle except ImportError: Open = open ...and then make the following changes: 1. Replace all calls to...

  • Comment: Directory structure doesn't match the freedesktop specs

    The Python code you'd want would be something like this: CONFIG_DIR = os.path.join(os.environ.get('XDG_CONFIG_HOME', os.path.expanduser('~/.config')), 'comix') DATA_DIR = os.path.join(os.environ.get('XDG_DATA_HOME', os.path.expanduser('~/.local/share')), 'comix')

  • Remember file filter setting in Open/Save dialogs

    I got sick of having to select "All Archives" every single time I used the Open dialog, so here's a patch against SVN revision 301 (between 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 for anyone who doesn't follow SVN) which makes the main and library file choosers remember the file chooser you last used. (It also defaults the library chooser to "All Archives") I tried to follow your coding style, but there are one or...

  • Comment: Can't drag and drop from KDE 4 in Comix 4.0

    Though I don't normally use it, I can confirm the problem, though the situation is different. Comix 4.0 simply does not accept drag-and-drop from Konqueror and, given the way it makes that clear (cursor), I suspect it does not receive drag and drop of any kind.
