| 2023-08-31 01:14:11 +0200 | <bear34> | geekosaur: i actually did this already |
| 2023-08-31 01:14:48 +0200 | <bear34> | there seems to be a bug in xdg-desktop-portal: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/985 |
| 2023-08-31 01:15:08 +0200 | <bear34> | https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/issues/74 |
| 2023-08-31 01:15:26 +0200 | <bear34> | apparently something is way broken, cause lots of people are having issues loading programs |
| 2023-08-31 01:15:38 +0200 | <bear34> | what i don't understand is how this isn't breaking when i boot into popos instead of xmonad |
| 2023-08-31 01:16:34 +0200 | <bear34> | i have a /usr/share/xsessions/smonad.desktop file and it contains this: |
| 2023-08-31 01:16:36 +0200 | <bear34> | Exec=dbus-launch --exit-with-session xmonad |
| 2023-08-31 01:16:47 +0200 | <bear34> | (before, the last part was xmonad-session |
| 2023-08-31 01:17:08 +0200 | <bear34> | i'm so not an expert, but currently i can't launch most programs, they hang for upwards of 10 minutes because of this bug it seems |
| 2023-08-31 01:17:40 +0200 | <bear34> | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285590 |
| 2023-08-31 01:17:54 +0200 | <bear34> | everyone is suggesting removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, but i can't because it's a popos dependency |
| 2023-08-31 01:18:00 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I presume popos runs a mutter (gnome) desktop |
| 2023-08-31 01:18:10 +0200 | <geekosaur> | that's pretty much the default on any linux these days |
| 2023-08-31 01:18:35 +0200 | <bear34> | yeah that's right |
| 2023-08-31 01:18:47 +0200 | <bear34> | they've fixed it in xdg-desktop-portal 1.16, but popos is on 1.14 |
| 2023-08-31 01:19:00 +0200 | <bear34> | am i just hosed? (again though, no idea how it works correctly when logging in to pop) |
| 2023-08-31 01:19:38 +0200 | <geekosaur> | "featuring a customized GNOME desktop environment known as COSMIC" |
| 2023-08-31 01:19:54 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yes, I think you're stuck until popos upgrades |
| 2023-08-31 01:21:16 +0200 | <bear34> | i'd try rocking arch but everyone i know complains about things breaking all the time |
| 2023-08-31 01:21:17 +0200 | <geekosaur> | or you can do something like moving the system package executable out of the way and replacing it with a symlink to /bin/true |
| 2023-08-31 01:21:20 +0200 | <bear34> | no idea if that's fair though |
| 2023-08-31 01:21:55 +0200 | <bear34> | why would this work on popos? you'd think if xdg-desktop-portal was broken it'd break there too, but it doesn't |
| 2023-08-31 01:22:08 +0200 | <bear34> | perhaps there's something else i need to initialize? |
| 2023-08-31 01:23:35 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it's trying to talk to mutter, which is gnome's window/desktop/file/everything else manager |
| 2023-08-31 01:25:01 +0200 | <bear34> | doesn't it do that through the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome provider |
| 2023-08-31 01:27:57 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | Which is what is timing out |
| 2023-08-31 01:29:27 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | And there is no xdg-desktop-portal-xmonad provider, nor would it help since it doesn't try anything else until the gnome one times out |
| 2023-08-31 01:29:32 +0200 | <bear34> | apologies for my naivete - why doesn't the same thing happen on popos proper? |
| 2023-08-31 01:29:51 +0200 | <bear34> | that is, why doesn't it time out |
| 2023-08-31 01:30:21 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | See my quote above. Pop!OS uses a customized gnome |
| 2023-08-31 01:30:50 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | So the gnome provider can connect |
| 2023-08-31 01:31:13 +0200 | <bear34> | _sigh_ |
| 2023-08-31 01:31:37 +0200 | <bear34> | it seems one of the providers must work eh |

| 2023-08-31 01:31:46 +0200 | <bear34> | because eventually firefox opens |
| 2023-08-31 01:31:50 +0200 | <bear34> | like 30 seconds later |
| 2023-08-31 01:32:19 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | No, it just eventually times out and continues |
| 2023-08-31 01:32:29 +0200 | <bear34> | oh |
| 2023-08-31 01:32:40 +0200 | <bear34> | like DataGrip hangs for 30 seconds, then fails to authenticate |
| 2023-08-31 01:32:54 +0200 | <bear34> | i think b/c it's trying to store / retrieve a password in the secret daemon |
| 2023-08-31 01:32:57 +0200 | <bear34> | which times out |
| 2023-08-31 01:34:57 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | That one would be harder unless it works to start gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login |
| 2023-08-31 01:35:37 +0200 | <geekosaur[c]> | Which is what my mate session is running but I don't have this portal stuff |

| 2023-08-31 18:13:18 +0200 | <dukk> | would i be able to toggle a window to floating and resize it? |
| 2023-08-31 18:13:41 +0200 | <dukk> | like i want to set up a key to float a window and resize it to a certain size |
| 2023-08-31 18:16:20 +0200 | <dukk> | i found the `float` function but how do i have it float the currently active window? |
| 2023-08-31 18:23:00 +0200 | <geekosaur> | `withFloating (\w -> windows (W.float w someRationalRect))` |
| 2023-08-31 18:23:05 +0200 | <geekosaur> | er |
| 2023-08-31 18:23:13 +0200 | <geekosaur> | withFocused not withFloating |
| 2023-08-31 18:23:48 +0200 | <dukk> | yeah i found the `withFocused` function, but didn't know how to resize the window |
| 2023-08-31 18:23:50 +0200 | <dukk> | thanks |
| 2023-08-31 18:24:04 +0200 | <geekosaur> | a RationalRect specifies a position and size in fractions of the screen, since it has to work across multiple screens and they may not all be the same size |
| 2023-08-31 18:24:28 +0200 | <dukk> | how do i create one? |
| 2023-08-31 18:25:32 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it's defined in XMonad.StackSet (what I called "W" above, since that's how it's usually imported qualified) |
| 2023-08-31 18:25:59 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you can just say something like `W.RationalRect 0 0 1 1` for full screen, etc. |
| 2023-08-31 18:27:01 +0200 | <dukk> | so something like `W.RationalRect 1/3 1/3 2/3 2/3` |
| 2023-08-31 18:27:09 +0200 | <dukk> | would center it in the screen? |
| 2023-08-31 18:27:15 +0200 | <dukk> | (and make it smaller?) |
| 2023-08-31 18:28:19 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you need parens around the fractions, and the sizes should be (1/3) otherwise it extends to the end of the screen in that direction (that is, that reads as "start at 1/3 ofr the screen and take up 2/3 of the screen") |
| 2023-08-31 18:29:00 +0200 | <dukk> | ah, ok |
| 2023-08-31 18:29:11 +0200 | <dukk> | so just `W.RationalRect (1/3) (1/3) (1/3) (1/3)` |
| 2023-08-31 18:29:18 +0200 | <dukk> | would have that effect |
| 2023-08-31 18:29:27 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yep |
| 2023-08-31 18:30:04 +0200 | <geekosaur> | also, if the idea is to be able to pop a window out temporarily to take up a chunk of the screen instead of just its tile, take a look at XMonad.Layout.Magnify |
| 2023-08-31 18:31:05 +0200 | <dukk> | will look at that too |
| 2023-08-31 18:31:10 +0200 | <dukk> | works now, thanks! |

| 2023-08-31 23:46:21 +0200 | <mml> | hi there. i'm using namedScratchpad with customFloating and it works fine, except that i have a certain scratchpad I use for viewing logs. sometimes i shrink or grow the font and i want a hotkey that causes the RationalRect geometry to be recomputed and the window to be shrunk or grown as appropriate. in most circumstances, though, if I've changed the size of a scratchpad window, I just want it left alone |
| 2023-08-31 23:49:29 +0200 | <geekosaur> | hm. I think that's actually up to the terminal; the ones I use resize automatically\ |
| 2023-08-31 23:49:56 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the size set by customFloating et al. are only applied when the window is first mapped |
| 2023-08-31 23:50:34 +0200 | <mml> | i suppose i could just ctrl-right click on them and eyeball the size i want |
| 2023-08-31 23:50:51 +0200 | <mml> | alt-right-click i guess it is |
| 2023-08-31 23:51:45 +0200 | <geekosaur> | (the real problem being we don't know how to properly resize the terminal according to the font, and in fact can't even know that the font size changed within it) |
| 2023-08-31 23:53:01 +0200 | <mml> | i don't actually need it to know anything or be fancy.. i'd be happy to just bind a hotkey to the action "set this window's geometry to X% of width, Y% of height" |
| 2023-08-31 23:53:53 +0200 | <geekosaur> | withFocused $ \w -> windows (W.float w (W.RationalRect x y w h)) |
| 2023-08-31 23:54:04 +0200 | <geekosaur> | (import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W) |
| 2023-08-31 23:54:33 +0200 | <mml> | hmm.. ok, yeah that makes sense |
| 2023-08-31 23:59:53 +0200 | <mml> | geekosaur: thanks, that works good enough, since this really only comes up with a single floating window |
