00:00.02MinceRat least others shouldn't copy them
00:00.39mozerelliNope I was actually saying that they separate their web engines from their UI frameworks
00:00.45mozerelliAlbeit their own engines
00:01.21MinceRoh
00:01.45mozerelliEdgeHTML is not part of the UWP framework for example
00:02.03mozerelliBut the rendering engine in UWP is EdgeHTML
00:02.45mozerelliThe same goes for Cocoa and the Android framework
00:03.14mozerelliWhile we safely can say those companies are 'shady'
00:03.24mozerelliWhat they do here is the right thing
00:03.35mozerelliWhy can't Qt do this as well
00:08.22mozerelliI think it's time for a real foss gui framework with the unix philosophy in mind
00:10.57KatolaZno gui framework can be based on the unix philosophy, IMHO
00:11.09KatolaZor at least, not a GUI framework to construct DEs
00:11.15KatolaZpeople want to do everything with DEs
00:11.30KatolaZand this automagically results in bloated GUI frameworks
00:11.36KatolaZit's unavoidable
00:13.36mozerelliwhat about plan9
00:14.56mozerelliit might not have a real gui framework but the closest thing i can image is its rio window system
00:15.15KatolaZwhich would not be regarded as a proper GUI framework by anybody interested in a DE
00:15.37KatolaZrio is not even comparable to KDE
00:15.49KatolaZrio is not what people wanting a DE have in mind
00:17.02KatolaZotherwise those prople would use xmonad
00:17.05KatolaZor dwm
00:17.10KatolaZand they don't
00:17.22mozerellitiling window managers?
00:18.07KatolaZminimal
00:18.21KatolaZtiling or not is irrelevant
00:18.31KatolaZpeople wand eyecandie on their desktops
00:18.37KatolaZswishing windows
00:18.45KatolaZtransparencies
00:18.54KatolaZetc

00:19.02KatolaZthis is not in the unix philosophy
00:20.40n4diryou can also use eyecandy on window-managers.
00:21.05sokanKatolaZ, wm like awesome, i3 etc are more close into unix philosophy?
00:21.35MinceRwell, the toolkit could still be small and flexible
00:21.41KatolaZyes they are sokan
00:21.46KatolaZbut they are not DEs
00:21.55MinceRi don't see why tiling would be more unixy
00:21.55KatolaZand they don't require any "framework"
00:22.01KatolaZnono MinceR
00:22.10KatolaZ00:18 < KatolaZ> tiling or not is irrelevant
00:22.13KatolaZ^^^
00:22.27KatolaZn4dir: sure you can, but still people don't
00:22.49KatolaZand those who use KDE can't understand why anyone on earth would like to use i3 or WMaker
00:23.16KatolaZ00:08 < mozerelli> I think it's time for a real foss gui framework with the unix philosophy in mind
00:23.20KatolaZ00:08 < mozerelli> I think it's time for a real foss gui framework with the unix philosophy in mind
00:23.27KatolaZI was answering to that ^^^
00:23.51sokanI 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)
00:25.19n4dircan't say that you have to customize commands. Enabling
00:25.21n4dir# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
00:25.28n4dirin /etc/inputrc helps a ton though
00:26.01KatolaZn4dir: which DE user would accepr to edit /etc/inputrc by hand?
00:26.02KatolaZ:)
00:26.12KatolaZs/accepr/accept
00:27.02n4dir:-)
00:27.26KatolaZthe unix philosophy is about tinkering, getting your hands dirty, customising, getting closer and closer to the machine
00:27.41KatolaZthis is the opposite of what DEs have in mind and try to deliver
00:27.47n4dirnot 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)
00:29.27*** join/#devuan konsolebox (~konsolebo@112.198.118.151)
00:29.41n4dirand 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.
00:30.02KatolaZn4dir: some have something similar to icons
00:30.07KatolaZWMaker, for instance
00:30.13KatolaZeven if the concept is a bit different
00:30.24n4dirlol. Yeah, i used it for a while. I like it, but never really got into the details
00:30.31KatolaZ:)
00:31.20n4dirthe other day i already spoke of e17 (i think of it because it is another environment only few have in mind, like wmaker)
00:31.33n4dirloads of bling, of course ...
00:31.39KatolaZ:)
00:31.54KatolaZe17 was a futuristic concept back in the days
00:32.30KatolaZI haven't looked into it in the last 3-4 years though
00:32.40KatolaZI know they have made fantastic progress
00:36.03n4dirLooked 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.
00:36.38gnarfacei'm still using it but #e already considers it deprecated
00:36.48gnarfacethey're up to e21 or something like that now
00:37.02n4diryeah. installed it, but i didn't know how to start it. lol
00:37.04gnarfacethey started requiring pulseaudio so i stopped upgrading
00:37.16n4dirah, i see.
00:38.59n4dirall 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)
00:40.21KatolaZn4dir: maybe have a look at some of the suckless utils
00:40.30KatolaZI find "tabbed" particularly useful
00:41.07KatolaZit allows you to stack a lot of different X applications in the same window
00:41.23gnarfacei 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
00:41.43KatolaZI started used it as a way to allow tabs in surf
00:41.53KatolaZbut I appreciated it also for terminals
00:42.02KatolaZit's very convenient
00:42.02sokane is a wm?
00:42.09KatolaZenlightenment
00:42.13KatolaZsokan: ^^^
00:42.15sokanoooh
00:43.06sokanI 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)
00:43.07KatolaZhttps://www.enlightenment.org/
00:43.08n4dire17 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)
00:46.32*** join/#devuan nighty- (~nighty@kyotolabs.asahinet.com)
00:47.09fsmithredpretty sure I still have a refracta508 iso with e17
00:47.44fsmithred508 was lenny - one of Dean's builds
00:49.17fsmithredpretty impressive for such a small footprint
00:49.47gnarfacethe 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
00:50.05gnarfaceand with no reverse compatibility whatsoever, it doesn't have the rich theme catalog of e15 and e16
00:50.23gnarfacethat's a fixable problem, in theory, but first a critical mass of people would have to care
00:50.39gnarface(personally my vote is for someone to finish night bling first)
00:51.43n4dirgnarface: my guess is that you are right. permanent changes have been a long time "problem" for them

00:54.11n4dirnever heard of e15, btw.
01:01.45justinsmI loved enlightenment, back when it was just a WM + a few utils.
01:02.27justinsmRan it on Solaris instead of CDE.
01:02.58n4dirsome distros still have it, assuming you mean e16
01:05.13mozerellidon't hate on me but I think enlightenment looks like shit, my personal opinion
01:05.37mozerelliIt looks like an amiga
01:05.58justinsmyou could make it look however you wanted, that was the charm.
01:07.19n4dirwould be a great advertisement though: "enlightenment - it looks like shit "
01:08.16gnarfacenobody has made a shit theme for it yet, but i'm sure it could be done
01:10.40mozerelliwith the exception of arc-light theme for enlightenment
01:13.11justinsmapparently the main library, EFL, is dreadful.

01:15.54gnarfacewell it's actually corporate funded
01:16.20gnarfaceso they have higher priorities than supporting enlightenment's use of it (somewhat ironically considering the history)

13:09.13aitormozereli: "what do you guys think of gtk3? Is it an utter mess like some people are claiming it to be?", you said
13:09.54aitortechnically, gtk3 is better than gtk2 and it's more documented
13:10.53msiismaitor: interesting. what does gtk3 do better?
13:11.00aitorand you can customize the gtk themes using css files, it was not possible with gtk2
13:11.17djphIDK, gtk-3 stuff tends to choke on lpr printing for me :(
13:12.13aitorimho, the most important step is in gtkmm (gtk with classes)
13:12.26aitorgtkmm is very powerfull
13:12.27msiismdjph: how is this gtk3-related?
13:13.00djphmsiism: the gtk-3 programs don't honor the settings :(
13:14.02aitorgtkmm3 is gtk3 oriented to objects
13:14.23fsmithredthe main complaint I've seen is that they keep changing gtk3 and breaking backward compatibility, so developers can't keep up.
13:14.43msiismfsmithred: right, i was wondering, if that had now stopped.
13:15.03fsmithredI don't know
13:16.11msiismisn't gtk4 already underway?
13:16.19aitorfsmithred: more and more gtk3 themes compatible with gtk2 are appearing in the last months
13:16.20fsmithredyikes
13:16.55aitormsiism: murray cumming sometimes talks about gtkmm4 in the gtkmm mailing list
13:18.32msiismi mean, if the api breakage of gtk3 would really find an end and the product be superior to gtk2, then a transition would make sense, i guess.
13:18.43*** join/#devuan LeoTh3o (~LeoTh3o@2.236.252.139)
13:19.17msiismbut then again, if the developers continue the same procedure with gtk4, that may not be the best idea

13:21.18aitori don't think so... the diference between qt3 and qt4 is much higher than the difference between qt4 and qt5
13:21.43msiismok
13:22.50msiismspeaking of qt, i recently learned that the trinity desktop devs did with qt3 (or 4) what a lot of people would have liked for gtk2. they forked it (as TQT).
13:22.58aitorfsmithred: my popup menu for openbox in gtk2 (you can also build it in gtk3) is working
13:23.26msiismaitor: but the original ob menu is not gtk, is it?
13:23.34aitornope
13:24.04fsmithredaitor, do you have packages somewhere?
13:24.11aitorbut you can change your rc.xml

13:25.32aitorthis weekend i've been working on the live-sdk blend for gnuinos incluing the backports and the 4.9 kernel
13:26.20aitori'll include the menu in gkt, the original menu of openbox is also available via W+Space
13:26.37msiismaitor: you mean, you can change your rc.xml to make it use another application for the menu?
13:26.47aitoryes
13:26.53msiismok, right.
13:27.09aitorfor example, Alt+F2 runs gmrun in the most of the cases
13:27.34msiismaitor: right, but that's not a menu, is it?
13:27.42msiismi'm using that too
13:28.51msiismaitor: so, are you using an extra application for the menu in your openbox setup?
13:28.51aitorone of the advantages of the gtk menu is that it'll be multilingual
13:29.02aitoryes
13:29.07msiismi get it
13:30.01msiismand that is called what?
13:30.04aitori used some code of two different projects for that: openbox-menu and myGtkMenu
13:30.12msiismi see
13:30.30aitorwe will not reinvent the wheel
13:30.48aitori will give credits to the autors
13:30.48msiismright
13:31.02msiismbut does it depend on openbox then?
13:31.20aitorit depends on lxmenu-data
13:31.50msiismi see. so i could also use it in i3.
13:32.17aitoryes, you can use it with other window managers
13:32.22msiismcool
13:32.38aitorthe code is too sort, only one main.c
13:32.56aitorshort*
13:33.22aitormsiism, fsmithred: need to go, see you later :)

20:35.48fsmithrednepugia, yeah, you can do that. Or you could do a debootstrap install of ascii.
20:36.20fsmithredor use one of the derivatives (miyo, vuudo or refracta have ascii isos)
20:37.18greenjeansno vuu-do ascii yet
20:37.23fsmithredboo

20:37.27greenjeanshehe
20:37.45greenjeansno ascii official release
20:38.32greenjeansi'd like at least a stable beta before I start trying to build
20:38.32fsmithredok, 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.
20:39.51nepugiadebootstrap 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
20:39.55fsmithredI did an upgrade of a refracta jessie to ascii, and I'm getting different behavior with gparted-pkexec
20:40.10fsmithrednothing from menu, works correctly in terminal.
20:40.36fsmithredlast time I did that upgrade, gparted and synaptic would start from menu without password
20:40.52fsmithredI think it has to do with /etc/pam.d/login - I kept the old one this time.

21:37.40FlibberTGibbetthanks fsmithred
21:38.17FlibberTGibbetwill give it a go
21:38.19fsmithredNot sure about which miyo isos are ascii - possibly just the ones with ascii in the name
21:39.14fsmithredthe refracta isos have debootstrap installed in case you want to start fresh.
21:39.18FlibberTGibbetok
21:39.20FlibberTGibbetthanks
21:40.27fsmithredone big difference between upgrading from jessie and installing a fresh ascii is that ascii has /lib as a symlink to /usr/lib
21:40.41fsmithredand some others, too
21:41.06fsmithredlike /sbin
21:41.10fsmithredand /bin
21:43.03FlibberTGibbetah. 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?
21:55.21greenjeanswell crap, I guess I don't know how to get to the ascii repo
22:04.53nepugiaoh for fuck sake, why does ifupdown tell me that rfkill blocks wifi but then tries to call dhcpclient regardless
22:05.07fsmithredgreenjeans, try packages.debian.org if you want to download the package from the web.
22:06.03fsmithredFlibberTGibbet, the only virtualbox for ascii is what you can get from virtualbox.org. It's not in stretch/ascii at all.
22:06.04greenjeansi pulled a .deb from them, it's almost the same version as yours but wondering if that package had to be "devuanized"
22:06.24fsmithredoh, sorry greenjeans. Don't do that. It's a devuan package.
22:06.41fsmithredyou should be able to get it at packages or pkgmaster .devuan.org
22:06.43greenjeansthought so, seems like it would be being dbus
22:07.02FlibberTGibbetfsmithred: 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
22:07.03greenjeansnothing there, just lists and explanantions
22:07.35fsmithredif it makes any difference, the refracta isos have linux-headers and build-essential
22:07.59FlibberTGibbetyup, that's usually sufficient fsmithred.
22:08.28nepugiahave an ascii now
22:08.29nepugiauname sais debian
22:08.31FlibberTGibbeti just install those and then use the default compilation script
22:09.16fsmithredyeah, that's what I usually do, too
22:10.01fsmithrednepugia, you have /etc/devuan_version?
22:10.04nepugiasay, do i need to do something special for backlight keys to work?
