[Notion-general] Fwd: statusd doesn't stop with restart

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi,

Jeff prepared a patch to explicitly close statusd on deinit.

This was needed because when restarting notion (notioncore.restart()), we
don't quit the old notion and start a new one, but instead we just execve()
the new notion on top of the old one - which basically explains why the old
statusd didn't quit in that case.

So this should fix the multiple instances of statusd running when
restarting notion.

On a related note, eventually I'd like to see mod_statusbar evolve into a
standalone application that can be loaded into the mod_dock just like any
other panel. But that's something for another day :)


Kind regards,

Arnout

I believe that may have been true at one time, but I can confirm that 
the nVidia proprietary drivers support RandR and have so for the past 
few years. Not sure what version you are running. I'm have version 
304.88 and I can adjust displays, etc. no problem.

Also, you may find this article from the Linux Journal helpful:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/switching-monitor-profiles

It discusses a method for using auto-detecting whether your laptop is 
docked or not and switching between monitor profiles automatically.

I can confirm the issue you are seeing with statusd_mpd-socket. With the 
mpd monitor enabled, I get an orphaned ion-statusd process whenever I 
restart or exit Notion. I do not see this when I disable the mpd 
monitor. The orphaned process on exit causes hiccups with KDM and 
multiple logins. Looks to me like a bug in ion-statusd.

Jeff

Hi Dima,

Thanks for your message. I'm not 100% sure but as far as I know nvidia
proprietary drivers doesn't support xrandr.

Anyway, one need to restart notion in order to apply changes in
configuration files of notion.

This isn't what you asked, but you may not need to restart at all. You
can use mod_xrandr to detect resolution changes and to automatically
resize the WM without needing to restart it.

[Notion-general] statusd doesn't stop with restart

[tot-to <to...@to...>]

Hello,

After executing "session/restart" in main menu, I can see one more
instance of ion-statusd running. Since i use statusd_mpd.lua script, at
some point mpd (Music Player Daemon) starts to complain about
connections limit and to drop any new connections. It means that every
instance operates independently just wasting system resources.

I need to restart notion a in order to switch between laptop's built-in
and dedicated screen with different resolution.

[Notion-general] Issues with resizing the screen via RANDR on an X server that lacks Xinerama

[Jeff B. <jef...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

First off, just wanted to say as a long time user and mailing list 
lurker that Notion is ridiculously awesome - many, many thanks for all 
the hard work!

I've run into an issue while upgrading an older installation on one of 
my machines that I access only via VNC. Specifically, I'm using 
TigerVNC, the precompiled binary of which does not come with Xinerama 
enabled. Since mod_xrandr relies on mod_xinerama, which of course relies 
on the server having Xinerama enabled, the new version of Notion 
(2013030200?) no longer responds to screen size changes. My older 
install - circa 2011? - used an "external" mod_xrandr, from gwash, I 
believe, and did not rely on mod_xinerama.

I can understand why the TigerVNC team did not include Xinerama in their 
default build, and recompiling/wresting with X + Tiger everytime there 
is an update doesn't seem like a productive (or pleasant) use of one's 
time. Is there a good way to address this issue on the Notion side? Is 
this even an issue that others have run into? I spent a little bit of 
time looking over the code for mod_xinerama and mod_xrandr. Are there 
any reasons why we can't merge the two into a single module? 
(mod_dynamicview?) Perhaps modify mod_xinerama so that in the event the 
server doesn't support Xinerama, it will assume only one monitor and 
fall back on RANDR for screen information?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jeff

Re: [Notion-general] Widgets / Addons

[martin l. <mar...@gm...>]

I think that the general idea is that the status bar is only text and non
interactive. it is only a status bar.

You can however use a system tray such as stalonetray to add such
interactive icons.

[Notion-general] Cannot configure Dolphin Emulator on Notion

[Robin C. <rob...@gm...>]

Hello there,

The Dolphin Wii Emulator crashes immediately after clicking on Config,
Graphics, DSP, GCPad or Wiimote button, and probably others as well. I'm
using the notion window manager of course, but if I use blackbox window
manager instead, there is no problem. I'm using dual monitor as well, in
case it is relevant.

See following error. Anyone can reproduce it?

~$ dolphin-emu
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading
configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
The program 'dolphin-emu' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 9056 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Anyway, great window manager, won't use any other, except blackbox of
course for launching the emulator.

Re: [Notion-general] mod_statusbar per monitor

[tot-to <to...@to...>]

Hi Jason,

Look at attached configuration file. Previously I have used it for 3
monitor configuration with original ion. I didn't try it with notion,
but I belive it should work.

Re: [Notion-general] mod_statusbar per monitor

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hello Jason,

This should be possible. I'm a bit unclear on the details, so I might be a
bit off here, but this is what should happen from the top of my head:

If I recall correctly, a mod_statusbar is created for a specific screen
(WScreen). When using mod_xrandr (which is recommended and should be the
default when you have multiple monitors), each of your physical monitors
should have a WScreen (and thus its own set of workspaces etc).

The default mod_statusbar configuration only adds a statusbar to screen 0,
but you can add a statusbar to other screens yourself easily
(mod_statusbar.create).

Now this obviously only works if you really have multiple WScreens for your
multiple monitors. You can check with 'xwininfo -root -tree | grep WScreen'
- that should return as many lines as you have monitors. I seem to recall
this wasn't working for some users - might have something to do with the
proprietary nvidia driver? - so if that's what's going on in your case I'd
love to work with you to resolve that issue.


Kind regards,

Arnout

[Notion-general] activity alert - change colour of frame as well as tab title?

[Jason T. <jt...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I've got a customised look file (no surprise there, I'm sure!) which has the following section in it:

   de.substyle("*-*-*-*-activity", {                                                                                                                           
        shadow_colour = "red",                                                                                                                                  
        highlight_colour = "red",                                                                                                                               
        background_colour = "red",                                                                                                                              
        foreground_colour = "#FFFFFF",                                                                                                                          
    }),

I've tried putting this section in to various defstyle blocks ("tab", "tab-frame", "frame-tiled"), yet this doesn't seem to change the colour of the frame at all; only the tab-title colour changes.  This is a problem for me because I make use of min_tabs.lua which hides the tab title when there's only one window in the frame---so I would therefore like to get the border colour of the frame changed as well.

Is this currently possible?

TIA!

Jason

[Notion-general] mod_statusbar per monitor

[Jason T. <jt...@ya...>]

[Notion-general] Mod1 key

[Richard L. <rle...@ya...>]

Recently I install NOTion on debian amd64. When switching between different workspace with Mod1 + 1, Mod1 + 2, etc. (as described in documentation http://notion.sourceforge.net/notionkeys.html), it doesn't work. Checking xmodmap, output shows similar to 

    mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x6c),  Meta_L (0xcd)


Is there any way to check if some setting may occupy the current key binding (e.g. alt + 2)?

I appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks

[Notion-general] Statusbar problems

[Ed S. <edm...@cm...>]

Hi all,

I've been having a problem with my statusbar for a long time.  My
problem is that any changes to the icons results in all the icons
disappearing until notion is restarted.  I've reproduced this with
several statusbar applications, including trayer and docker.

I don't do anything too weird in my configuration files.  Here's my
statusbar template:

    template="[ %date || load: %load || %linuxbatt (%linuxbatt_state)
] %systray"

And I do have kludges to put docker and trayer in the statusbar, e.g.:

defwinprop{
    class = "trayer",
    statusbar = "systray",
}

I am running trayer like this: trayer --transparent true --widthtype
request --alpha 255

To see the problem, I can do the following:

* Run some programs that have status icons.  I am using pidgin, and
nm-applet right now
* Kill trayer
* Restart trayer
* Note that icons are not visible in statusbar.
* Restart notion
* Note that icons become visible

Has anyone experienced something similar?  Alternatively, if someone
has a setup that works, could you tell me so I could test it?

Thanks,

Ed

Re: [Notion-general] Right mouse click and tab bar menu

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi Steven,

We don't have a roadmap per se, but what I can think of of the top of my
head:
* More default configuration (so most apps work out-of-the-box - most do,
but there's always room to improve)
* More streamlined release process (so we can do releases more often)
* More/better documentation and website
* Anything in the bugtrackers :)


Kind regards,

Hi Philipp,

Doh! I missed the Meta-K A binding reference in the cfg_notioncore.lua.  
Thanks for the link to the keyboard reference, great chart -- I need to

Unfortunately this currently doesn't seem to be possible. There was a 
discussion with the subject "Mouse Click Context Menu Instead of Mouse Down" 
on the ion-general mailing list and Tuomo had to say this:

If this is important for you please file a feature request, maybe someone will 
implement it. 

You are aware though that there are easy key bindings for tagging and 
attaching a tagged client, right? You could also add a binding
for
  mod_menu.menu(_, _sub, 'ctxmenu') 
to the WFrame section of cfg_notioncore.lua. You could bind this to a key
or use the mclick function to bind it to a mouse button. However the menu then 
appears in the bottom left corner of the frame by default, so this is not 
exactly what you want. But maybe one of these solutions is acceptable for you?  
If not feel free to file the feature request. :)

Cheers,
Philipp

Re: [Notion-general] notion & nagstamon

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hello Albert,

Indeed the 'systray' options are probably what you're looking for.

However, the internal notion statusbar does not support hosting systray
applications. For this you'd use a third-party tray app (such as
stalonetray or trayion) or a panel app that supports systray icons (such as
fbpanel or gnome-panel).

It'd be lovely if someone could volunteer writing some better documentation
about all this!


Kind regards,

Arnout
