[Notion-general] notion & nagstamon

[Albert S. <Alb...@ob...>]

Hi all, 

I'm using notion (in fact ion3) since...ion2. 

Actually I'm using notion on FreeBSD (so it's not the last version because
the ports don't exist and it's work perfectly). 

I try to use nagstamon (http://nagstamon.ifw-dresden.de/) a software who
check nagios for you (writing in python). 

I like to have nagstamon in the buttom of notion (near the date) and popup
when I put the mouse over it. 

I don't known how to configure notion for that, actually nagstamon run
juste like any X11 (meaning full screen for me) or with systray module
he...just disapear....

Regards.

Re: [Notion-general] use of mod_xrandr

[Alain-Pierre M. <apm...@fr...>]

It's a bit late (I totally forgot to send this email), but I had to say  
that mod_xandr works perfectly fine with the latest version of Notion.

Thank you for that!

Re: [Notion-general] Future of the script collection

[Philipp H. <ph...@ph...>]

Hi all,

I have started to go through the scripts to check whether they still work. I 
document the progress under
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notion/index.php?title=Script_collection

Of course any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

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

[Steven H. <sd...@gm...>]

Hello,

While I don't often use tagging to manipulate windows (simple enough to 
drag tags across multiple screens), sometimes it's handy to use the tab 
bar menu items.

Is there a way to configure the tab bar menu to be toggled on (or off if 
nothing is selected) vs needing to hold the right mouse button down to 
select a menu entry. This option would just be a bit more convenient 
while using a track ball mouse or tablet.

Regards,
Steven

[Notion-general] Future of the script collection

[Philipp H. <ph...@ph...>]

Hi,

considering that our script collection is in very bad shape (many scripts are 
broken or obsolete, and we have the license issue already discussed), I 
suggest to proceed as follows:

We should single out a list of officially maintained scripts that are
confirmed to be working, are still relevant, have a clear license and that at 
least one person is interested in. All other scripts should be moved to a 
"legacy" folder which is kept around for curiosity's sake. Of course there 
will be the option of promoting a script from the legacy folder to the list of 
official scripts when someone comes around who cares about the script and 
fixes it or at least files a bug.

I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but probably I'll at least start to 
do this. This undertaking will heavily depend on user input anyway as I have 
no idea which scripts people are actually using.

What do you guys think about this plan?

Best,
Philipp

Yes, you are right, after thinking about it some more I share the bad feeling. 
So please forget the LICENSE text I've proposed.

Hm, but making the assumption that the scripts of unknown license are in the 
public domain is a much stronger assumption than assuming that they can be 
distributed under the terms of MIT license. If we say "we assume that this 
script is in the public domain", it means that we assume that the original 
author completely forfeited his rights on the script. I have an even worse 
feeling about that.

I'm afraid there is no proper way out of this other than dropping the scripts 
of unknown license ...

Let me send out another e-mail with a suggestion concerning the future of the 
script collection.

Best,
Philipp

Re: [Notion-general] use of mod_xrandr

[Alain-Pierre M. <apm...@fr...>]

I tried all the suggestions, with no luck.

"--same-as" option works as expected. The better I get with "--right-of"  
is a black screen, where I can see the mouse but not create frames...

I will try later, after updating notion, just in case...

Re: [Notion-general] use of mod_xrandr

[Steven H. <sd...@gm...>]

I have 2 different monitors connected, a 24" and 30" and use this xrandr 
statement in my .Xession file which may help you:

xrandr --output DVI-1 --primary --mode 2560x1600 --rate 60 --right-of 
DVI-0

You'll have to adjust accordingly for your setup to see if something 
similar can work for you.

That looks like the way to do it (personally I also sometimes use 'arandr')

Hmm that doesn't seem right. What version of notion are you running? 

Perhaps your version doesn't automatically listen for RandR changes yet. Can 
you call 'mod_xrandr.screenlayoutupdated()' manually, does that arrange your 
workspaces correctly?


Kind regards,

[Notion-general] use of mod_xrandr

[Alain-Pierre M. <apm...@fr...>]

Hello,

I have just migrated from ion3 to notion (thank you for it!) and I don't  
understand well how to use mod_xrandr.

I occasionally use a beamer. Previously, with ion3, after restarting, I  
saw two independent screens available with Mod+shift+{1,2}.

Now, with mod_xrandr, by default, the two screens are the same. When I try  
something like:

   xrandr --output HDMI-0 --right-of VGA-0

...I get the first half of a frame on a screen, and the second half on the  
other.

Is there some way to reproduce the old behavior?...

Thank you for the help,

Hello Philipp.

Normally I would prefer MIT license over public domain, because the
latter is no license at all and might be even more confusing than any
other "real" license.

However, after some deliberation, I have a queasy feeling about just
taking some script without knowing author's
initial intention and terms of distribution/usage of the script and
say: "now it's MIT". 
If we consider such scripts public domain it would
be like "we found it laying here, it's not ours, but looks like we may
use it and so do you unless the owner appears and disallows this". So we
wouldn't insult anyone in any way, since we didn't take the liberty to
change any conditions of something we don't own.

In other words - as much as legally and ethically OK should be licensed
under MIT. The rest should be handled as neutral as possible. Probably
public domain is something that would suit in that cases.

Re: [Notion-general] LICENSE file in contrib

[Philipp H. <ph...@ph...>]

Hi,

I propose to replace the current contrib/LICENSE file by the following 
statement:

    This directory contains a collection of user-contributed scripts for Notion.
    
    Each script starts with an "Authors" header, indicating the respective
    copyright holders, followed by a "License" header, indicating the software
    license the script is released under.
    
    For a script with an "Authors" header of "Unknown", it is assumed in good faith 
    that the script is in the public domain.
    
    For a script with a known copyright holder but with a "License" header of
    "Unknown", it is assumed in good faith that the script has been contributed to
    the Ion/Notion script collection for other people to unconditionally use and
    modify. This intention is very well reflected by the MIT license, see
    http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php . We therefore assume that such 
    a script can be distributed under the terms of the MIT license.

Let me note that these assumptions are backed by the copyright file of the
ion3-scripts Debian package, see [1], which even states that a script with a
"License" header of "Unknown" is in the public domain. 

Also our own website[2] includes a "public domain" notice, which at least
backs the assumption on scripts with an "Authors" header of "Unknown".

So in both cases, people would have had years to complain in case they disagreed
with the above assumptions.

Opinions? Objections? :)

Best,
Philipp

[Notion-general] LICENSE file in contrib

[Philipp H. <ph...@ph...>]

Hi,

the LICENSE file in contrib seems to have been created when importing the 
script collection into [1], compare for example [2] which does not have such a 
file.

The LICENSE file states that scripts without explicit license header are under 
the GPL3. The Debian copyright file of the ion3-scripts package[3] however 
indicates that those scripts are in the public domain instead. 

Of course one can take public domain code and put it under the GPL3, but would 
we want to do this? My opinion is that in particular for small
things like most scripts, the less we have to worry about any license 
questions, the better. And at the very least this default license should be 
compatible with the Notion license, so that we can take script logic and use 
it internally, if we ever think that would be worthwhile.

So my suggestion would be to drop the LICENSE file, provided the people who 
contributed to [1] since the import of [2] agree. 

This seem to be Arnout, Etan and Juri (and Voker57, who explicitly put his 
work in the public domain). What do you think?

I would then also think about adding explicit public domain notices to the 
header of those scripts that don't have any copyright notice.

If the public domain seems like a bad concept, we could alternatively choose 
some very permissive open source license as the default license. The MIT 
license[4] comes to mind. We probably would need to add copyright notices, say 
for "The Notion Team", to the script headers.
 
Other suggestions?

Cheers,
Philipp

Hi everyone, as a part of "I'm so cool, because I did something"
cycle, here's the "I have used notion on Raspberry Pi".  (check
http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_pi) if the fact of its
existence hasn't reached you). Compiled from source, using tarballs
from april. It runs great in what is called 'raspbian wheezy',
needless to say that notion is a great menago for this device, which
is generally a "slow" computer with (at most) 512mb of RAM and 700mhz
ARM processor. But it's more than enough. Default Raspbian ships with
LXDE, but hey.

regards
Wojtek Aniszewski

Hi Brandon,

Did this do the trick for you? Would you mind sharing your settings and 
experience?

I don't know about this point, but

you can add a binding for "mod_menu.menu(_, _sub, 'ctxmenu')" in the WFrame 
section of cfg_notioncore.lua .

Wonderful news to hear that this awesome tiling window manager is only 
getting better - though, imo it already is the best!

If I might add a feature request (if this isn't already possible - my 
failed attempts may have just been configured incorrectly): 

1) I would like to be able to simply right click on a tab and have the 
   tab menu show until a menu item is selected or another click is made 
   outside the region.  I tried substituting mclick for the mpress 
   assignment but this appears to have the same behaviour as mpress.

2) Even better, to be able to display the tab menu with a kpress (bottom 
   left corner where menus typically open would be fine).

Regards,
Steven
