00:00.02 | MinceR | at least others shouldn't copy them |
00:00.39 | mozerelli | Nope I was actually saying that they separate their web engines from their UI frameworks |
00:00.45 | mozerelli | Albeit their own engines |
00:01.21 | MinceR | oh |
00:01.45 | mozerelli | EdgeHTML is not part of the UWP framework for example |
00:02.03 | mozerelli | But the rendering engine in UWP is EdgeHTML |
00:02.45 | mozerelli | The same goes for Cocoa and the Android framework |
00:03.14 | mozerelli | While we safely can say those companies are 'shady' |
00:03.24 | mozerelli | What they do here is the right thing |
00:03.35 | mozerelli | Why can't Qt do this as well |
00:08.22 | mozerelli | I think it's time for a real foss gui framework with the unix philosophy in mind |
00:10.57 | KatolaZ | no gui framework can be based on the unix philosophy, IMHO |
00:11.09 | KatolaZ | or at least, not a GUI framework to construct DEs |
00:11.15 | KatolaZ | people want to do everything with DEs |
00:11.30 | KatolaZ | and this automagically results in bloated GUI frameworks |
00:11.36 | KatolaZ | it's unavoidable |
00:13.36 | mozerelli | what about plan9 |
00:14.56 | mozerelli | it might not have a real gui framework but the closest thing i can image is its rio window system |
00:15.15 | KatolaZ | which would not be regarded as a proper GUI framework by anybody interested in a DE |
00:15.37 | KatolaZ | rio is not even comparable to KDE |
00:15.49 | KatolaZ | rio is not what people wanting a DE have in mind |
00:17.02 | KatolaZ | otherwise those prople would use xmonad |
00:17.05 | KatolaZ | or dwm |
00:17.10 | KatolaZ | and they don't |
00:17.22 | mozerelli | tiling window managers? |
00:18.07 | KatolaZ | minimal |
00:18.21 | KatolaZ | tiling or not is irrelevant |

00:19.02 | KatolaZ | this is not in the unix philosophy |
00:20.40 | n4dir | you can also use eyecandy on window-managers. |
00:21.05 | sokan | KatolaZ, wm like awesome, i3 etc are more close into unix philosophy? |
00:21.35 | MinceR | well, the toolkit could still be small and flexible |
00:21.41 | KatolaZ | yes they are sokan |
00:21.46 | KatolaZ | but they are not DEs |
00:21.55 | MinceR | i don't see why tiling would be more unixy |
00:21.55 | KatolaZ | and they don't require any "framework" |
00:22.01 | KatolaZ | nono MinceR |

00:22.13 | KatolaZ | ^^^ |
00:22.27 | KatolaZ | n4dir: sure you can, but still people don't |
00:22.49 | KatolaZ | and those who use KDE can't understand why anyone on earth would like to use i3 or WMaker |
00:23.16 | KatolaZ | 00:08 < mozerelli> I think it's time for a real foss gui framework with the unix philosophy in mind |
00:23.20 | KatolaZ | 00:08 < mozerelli> I think it's time for a real foss gui framework with the unix philosophy in mind |
00:23.27 | KatolaZ | I was answering to that ^^^ |
00:23.51 | sokan | I really want to check 'em out asap. i3 awesome and so on. But I think it requires familiarizing yourself with console and terminal emulator first. (and some time to customize commands iirc) |
00:25.19 | n4dir | can't say that you have to customize commands. Enabling |
00:25.21 | n4dir | # alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history |
00:25.28 | n4dir | in /etc/inputrc helps a ton though |
00:26.01 | KatolaZ | n4dir: which DE user would accepr to edit /etc/inputrc by hand? |
00:26.02 | KatolaZ | :) |
00:26.12 | KatolaZ | s/accepr/accept |
00:27.02 | n4dir | :-) |
00:27.26 | KatolaZ | the unix philosophy is about tinkering, getting your hands dirty, customising, getting closer and closer to the machine |
00:27.41 | KatolaZ | this is the opposite of what DEs have in mind and try to deliver |
00:27.47 | n4dir | not sure what gave me grief when i switched to window-managers. I tried to do as much as possible "manually" before. The only thing which comes to my mind is "automounting" (which i never liked anyway) |

00:29.41 | n4dir | and i am not a fan of desktop-icons. They are possible on some WM's (? pretty sure), but enabling them might be a bit of trouble. |
00:30.02 | KatolaZ | n4dir: some have something similar to icons |
00:30.07 | KatolaZ | WMaker, for instance |
00:30.13 | KatolaZ | even if the concept is a bit different |
00:30.24 | n4dir | lol. Yeah, i used it for a while. I like it, but never really got into the details |
00:30.31 | KatolaZ | :) |
00:31.20 | n4dir | the other day i already spoke of e17 (i think of it because it is another environment only few have in mind, like wmaker) |
00:31.33 | n4dir | loads of bling, of course ... |
00:31.39 | KatolaZ | :) |
00:31.54 | KatolaZ | e17 was a futuristic concept back in the days |
00:32.30 | KatolaZ | I haven't looked into it in the last 3-4 years though |
00:32.40 | KatolaZ | I know they have made fantastic progress |
00:36.03 | n4dir | Looked at it the other day. Seems to do the job well now. But the default settings are weird, and it has so much settings, that changing them takes quite a bit of click-click. |
00:36.38 | gnarface | i'm still using it but #e already considers it deprecated |
00:36.48 | gnarface | they're up to e21 or something like that now |
00:37.02 | n4dir | yeah. installed it, but i didn't know how to start it. lol |
00:37.04 | gnarface | they started requiring pulseaudio so i stopped upgrading |
00:37.16 | n4dir | ah, i see. |
00:38.59 | n4dir | all i want now is a command prompt and a few desktops. All the options in e would confuse me, so i will stick to awesome (and am giving openbox a try these days) |
00:40.21 | KatolaZ | n4dir: maybe have a look at some of the suckless utils |
00:40.30 | KatolaZ | I find "tabbed" particularly useful |
00:41.07 | KatolaZ | it allows you to stack a lot of different X applications in the same window |
00:41.23 | gnarface | i admit i've had to ask for help from #e to figure out some e17 settings. raster was still pretty helpful with anything it could actually do, but more or less unsympathetic towards any bugs or feature requests |
00:41.43 | KatolaZ | I started used it as a way to allow tabs in surf |
00:41.53 | KatolaZ | but I appreciated it also for terminals |
00:42.02 | KatolaZ | it's very convenient |
00:42.02 | sokan | e is a wm? |
00:42.09 | KatolaZ | enlightenment |
00:42.13 | KatolaZ | sokan: ^^^ |
00:42.15 | sokan | oooh |
00:43.06 | sokan | I tried it once as a DE but somehow it just didn't feel right. Too erm "glossy" (for lack of a better word in my mind atm) |
00:43.07 | KatolaZ | https://www.enlightenment.org/ |
00:43.08 | n4dir | e17 is a thing between a DE and a WM, imho. It sure is small (both: install MB and usage of RAM), but does quite a bit. There also was e16, which sure was a window-manager (but also with a lot of bling) |

00:47.09 | fsmithred | pretty sure I still have a refracta508 iso with e17 |
00:47.44 | fsmithred | 508 was lenny - one of Dean's builds |
00:49.17 | fsmithred | pretty impressive for such a small footprint |
00:49.47 | gnarface | the biggest problem IMO with e17 is just that they were on to e18, e19 and e20 so fast none of the themes really got finished |
00:50.05 | gnarface | and with no reverse compatibility whatsoever, it doesn't have the rich theme catalog of e15 and e16 |
00:50.23 | gnarface | that's a fixable problem, in theory, but first a critical mass of people would have to care |
00:50.39 | gnarface | (personally my vote is for someone to finish night bling first) |

13:09.54 | aitor | technically, gtk3 is better than gtk2 and it's more documented |
13:10.53 | msiism | aitor: interesting. what does gtk3 do better? |
13:11.00 | aitor | and you can customize the gtk themes using css files, it was not possible with gtk2 |
13:11.17 | djph | IDK, gtk-3 stuff tends to choke on lpr printing for me :( |
13:12.13 | aitor | imho, the most important step is in gtkmm (gtk with classes) |
13:12.26 | aitor | gtkmm is very powerfull |
13:12.27 | msiism | djph: how is this gtk3-related? |
13:13.00 | djph | msiism: the gtk-3 programs don't honor the settings :( |
13:14.02 | aitor | gtkmm3 is gtk3 oriented to objects |
13:14.23 | fsmithred | the main complaint I've seen is that they keep changing gtk3 and breaking backward compatibility, so developers can't keep up. |
13:14.43 | msiism | fsmithred: right, i was wondering, if that had now stopped. |
13:15.03 | fsmithred | I don't know |
13:16.11 | msiism | isn't gtk4 already underway? |
13:16.19 | aitor | fsmithred: more and more gtk3 themes compatible with gtk2 are appearing in the last months |
13:16.20 | fsmithred | yikes |
13:16.55 | aitor | msiism: murray cumming sometimes talks about gtkmm4 in the gtkmm mailing list |

13:28.51 | aitor | one of the advantages of the gtk menu is that it'll be multilingual |
13:29.02 | aitor | yes |
13:29.07 | msiism | i get it |
13:30.01 | msiism | and that is called what? |
13:30.04 | aitor | i used some code of two different projects for that: openbox-menu and myGtkMenu |
13:30.12 | msiism | i see |
13:30.30 | aitor | we will not reinvent the wheel |
13:30.48 | aitor | i will give credits to the autors |
13:30.48 | msiism | right |
13:31.02 | msiism | but does it depend on openbox then? |
13:31.20 | aitor | it depends on lxmenu-data |
13:31.50 | msiism | i see. so i could also use it in i3. |
13:32.17 | aitor | yes, you can use it with other window managers |
13:32.22 | msiism | cool |
13:32.38 | aitor | the code is too sort, only one main.c |
13:32.56 | aitor | short* |
13:33.22 | aitor | msiism, fsmithred: need to go, see you later :) |
13:33.32 | msiism | ok |

20:36.20 | fsmithred | or use one of the derivatives (miyo, vuudo or refracta have ascii isos) |

20:37.45 | greenjeans | no ascii official release |
20:38.32 | greenjeans | i'd like at least a stable beta before I start trying to build |
20:38.32 | fsmithred | ok, there's a miyo ascii - I booted a friend's laptop with it to see if the wireless would finally work. (he still had a wheezy refracta on it and used a wireless dongle.) The built-in wireless worked with new miyo. |
20:39.51 | nepugia | debootstrap only ends in broken installs for me :) and i really dont have any linux to do a debootstrap from, gues ill just use the jessie update method |

20:40.36 | fsmithred | last time I did that upgrade, gparted and synaptic would start from menu without password |

21:36.12 | fsmithred | greenjeans, it's in ascii repos |

21:37.40 | FlibberTGibbet | thanks fsmithred |
21:38.17 | FlibberTGibbet | will give it a go |
21:38.19 | fsmithred | Not sure about which miyo isos are ascii - possibly just the ones with ascii in the name |
21:39.14 | fsmithred | the refracta isos have debootstrap installed in case you want to start fresh. |
21:39.18 | FlibberTGibbet | ok |
21:39.20 | FlibberTGibbet | thanks |
21:40.27 | fsmithred | one big difference between upgrading from jessie and installing a fresh ascii is that ascii has /lib as a symlink to /usr/lib |
21:40.41 | fsmithred | and some others, too |
21:41.06 | fsmithred | like /sbin |
21:41.10 | fsmithred | and /bin |
21:43.03 | FlibberTGibbet | ah. just noticed there aren't virtualbox guest additions. reckon it'll be possible to install the old-fashioned way using the Virtualbox guest additions image and just compiling 'em? |
21:55.21 | greenjeans | well crap, I guess I don't know how to get to the ascii repo |
22:04.53 | nepugia | oh for fuck sake, why does ifupdown tell me that rfkill blocks wifi but then tries to call dhcpclient regardless |
22:05.07 | fsmithred | greenjeans, try packages.debian.org if you want to download the package from the web. |
22:06.03 | fsmithred | FlibberTGibbet, the only virtualbox for ascii is what you can get from virtualbox.org. It's not in stretch/ascii at all. |
22:06.04 | greenjeans | i pulled a .deb from them, it's almost the same version as yours but wondering if that package had to be "devuanized" |
22:06.24 | fsmithred | oh, sorry greenjeans. Don't do that. It's a devuan package. |
22:06.41 | fsmithred | you should be able to get it at packages or pkgmaster .devuan.org |
22:06.43 | greenjeans | thought so, seems like it would be being dbus |
22:07.02 | FlibberTGibbet | fsmithred: yes, that's what i meant. if it's not in a package it's not a big deal to compile from VBox's own guest additions source |
22:07.03 | greenjeans | nothing there, just lists and explanantions |
22:07.35 | fsmithred | if it makes any difference, the refracta isos have linux-headers and build-essential |
22:07.59 | FlibberTGibbet | yup, that's usually sufficient fsmithred. |
22:08.28 | nepugia | have an ascii now |
22:08.29 | nepugia | uname sais debian |
22:08.31 | FlibberTGibbet | i just install those and then use the default compilation script |
22:09.16 | fsmithred | yeah, that's what I usually do, too |
22:10.01 | fsmithred | nepugia, you have /etc/devuan_version? |
22:10.04 | nepugia | say, do i need to do something special for backlight keys to work? |
22:10.27 | nepugia | i have devuan_version and debian_version |

22:11.37 | fsmithred | I've heard of backlight keys working, but I don't have any of those. Wish I did. |
22:11.50 | greenjeans | ahh found it, thanks FSR |
22:12.01 | nepugia | well, i think that on devuan jessie on that hardware with the backports 4.9 kernel they just worked |
22:12.11 | nepugia | now on ascii with 4.9 they dont work |

23:16.25 | greenjeans | arrgh Intel graphics on latest machine I have to convert |
23:16.34 | fsmithred | ? |
23:16.43 | fsmithred | convert what? |
23:16.44 | greenjeans | grub screen is wonky and I get some weird artifacts |
23:17.06 | greenjeans | re-doing an HP for a friend |
23:17.33 | greenjeans | windoze 10 had pretty much froze up completely, so I steamrolled it |
23:18.45 | greenjeans | FYI to windoze users everywhere, we know how they got there...and if you don't stop it you'll go blind ;) |
23:18.58 | greenjeans | viruses |
23:22.53 | fsmithred | greenjeans, have you done uefi with HP before? |
23:23.01 | greenjeans | nope |
23:23.05 | greenjeans | we hates it |
23:23.08 | fsmithred | or did it let you use legacy bios? |
23:23.29 | greenjeans | amazingly it still has a legacy option |
23:23.33 | greenjeans | 2016 machine |
23:23.34 | fsmithred | ok |
23:24.13 | fsmithred | if you do uefi with HP, you have to rename the bootloader to Windows-something |
23:24.23 | greenjeans | i'm not sure how I can roll a uefi iso on non-uefi machine, don't you have to reboot after installing grub-efi? |
23:24.27 | fsmithred | or Microso... |
23:24.35 | fsmithred | nope |
23:24.41 | *** join/#devuan AlexLikeRock (~AlexLikeR@unaffiliated/alexlikerock) |
23:25.01 | fsmithred | install grub-efi, install grub-pc, do not autoremove. |
23:25.09 | fsmithred | set force_efi=yes |
23:25.21 | greenjeans | doesn't it require GPT partioning? |
23:25.41 | AlexLikeRock | what ist the package to change to spanish devua ? |
23:25.53 | fsmithred | no, you don't need to use grub-efi on your host system, you just need to get it into the iso |
23:26.31 | greenjeans | oh okay, so re-installing grub-pc puts it into control, but leaves grub-efi available? |
23:26.52 | fsmithred | grub-efi-amd64-bin does not get removed |
23:27.08 | fsmithred | also efibootmgr which might be helpful if you boot the iso on uefi |
23:27.49 | greenjeans | cool, i'm gonna ask the guy if I can have the machine for a couple weeks then and try to do some efi installs |
23:28.00 | fsmithred | good plan |
23:28.09 | fsmithred | you will need gpt partitioning on that machine |

23:28.50 | fsmithred | no, but in ascii, I know that xserver-xorg-video-intel is not included in xserver-xorg-video-all |
23:29.01 | greenjeans | Only thing not working right now is the grub screen |
23:29.05 | fsmithred | maybe add nomodeset to boot line |
23:29.25 | greenjeans | no intel graphic support in new xorg? |
23:29.26 | nepugia | are you suuure? because i have that installed, and did not specifically select it |
23:29.32 | fsmithred | oh wait, no gpt if you use legacy boot |
23:29.56 | fsmithred | yeah, I'm sure. I checked. |
23:30.16 | nepugia | can apt tell me why it has a package somehow? |
23:30.19 | fsmithred | maybe because you upgraded? |
23:30.26 | fsmithred | aptitude why <package> |
23:30.30 | nepugia | i only installed all x11 stuff after apgrade |
23:30.32 | fsmithred | maybe apt, too |
23:31.25 | fsmithred | brb |
23:31.37 | nepugia | installed because it provides xorg-driver-video |
23:32.10 | fsmithred | oh, I just looked at the time. I'll be gone for an hour or two |
23:32.12 | nepugia | wow that scared me, i though i got a bluescreen, but its just kde's lockscreeen |
23:33.25 | greenjeans | lol |
23:34.00 | greenjeans | kde bluescreen o' death |
23:36.05 | nepugia | oh right debian has thing thing called build-essentials |
23:36.20 | nepugia | make not beeing available is wierd somehow :3 |
23:42.15 | fsmithred | you'll also need to install linux-headers-`uname -r` |
23:42.54 | fsmithred | and it's build-essential (singular) |
23:44.21 | nepugia | i kind of doubt i need headers to compile qt applications ;) |
23:44.24 | nepugia | but i do need make |
