devylhm i really hope some day wayland either have a more nonblocking compositor or xorg runs on reform14:13
KoodaWhat do you mean by nonblocking?14:14
devylif there is high cpu load or an app is slow windows cant be moved, ui draw gets VERY slow, mouse is shuttering...14:15
devylon xorg i never had such problems14:15
- B[] (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~Thunderbi@219-89-228-78-adsl.sparkbb.co.nz)14:16
devylatm i have added 2 calendars and 5 email accounts in evolution. evolution-calendar-factory and gnome-shell eat about 50% of all cores right now... ne mouse pointer shutters, input lags,...14:16
devylx.x14:16
devylits terrible hat apps can stop the ui of other apps from working right (and even the mouse pointer)...14:18
devyls/hat/that14:18
devyli know this isn't a fault of the reform... so i hope we will see a working xorg some time soon14:19
devylit's just more mature14:19
KoodaDamn, that doesn’t sound great14:20
KoodaThat was my experience with wayland compositors as well, always a lot of input lag14:20
Kooda(a while ago and not on the reform though)14:20
devylyeah... the same on the librem 5 or other devices...14:21
devyleven on a more or less high end linux notebook i tryed a few months ago14:21
devyl(ryzen zen2)14:22
KoodaI wonder why that happens14:22
KoodaI mean, the compositor could just reuse the previous frame14:22
Kooda(for the app that’s taking a lot of resources, I mean)14:22
Kooda(assuming that it’s because it redraws slowly)14:23
devyli thought it is because the client renders its stuff itself and not the server/compositor like on x1114:23
devylso if the app is blocking... the ui blocks too14:23
KoodaNo, clients also render themselves on X1114:23
KoodaI mean, recent UI tookits do14:24
devylhmmm ok, but the window frames not (ok gtk3 does it but there is a patch for that ^^)14:25
KoodaMy experience with wayland was that, when one app lags, the whole interface also does, which it what annoyed me. I don’t know if you experience that as well14:25
devylyes... thats it at the moment14:26
devylevolution-calender does something with gnome-shell...14:26
devylso the whole ui shutters14:26
devylx.x i remove all accounts from evolution and use thunderbird14:27
devylthats terrible... i dont even know what it does atm14:27
mntmndevyl: i don't have such problems here14:29
adjtm_devyl, I don't think that it's wayland but the compositor14:29
mntmndevyl: ah you're using gnome14:29
mntmnyeah gnome is the problem her14:30
adjtm_gnome is slow as hell14:30
mntmnhere14:30
mntmnyep14:30
mntmndevyl: i recommend to try sway or reform-wmaker and check how that feels. reform-wmaker is de facto X just running on top of a single app compositor (cage)14:30
adjtm_some months ago I tried gnome on wayland with an old gpu (amd r600 apu) and it was extremely slow14:30
mntmndevyl: i never have cursor slowdowns or stuff like that on sway14:31
adjtm_I thought it was because of wayland but tried gnome on X11 and it was the same14:31
devylmntmn:14:31
mntmn(i'm typing this on sway on reform right now)14:31
adjtm_right now I'm using gnome on wayland but on a very recent intel laptop and it runs OK (not great)14:31
devylbut how to i end the session? if i end it in the context menu wm closes but the screen stays14:31
+ specing_ (~specing@unaffiliated/specing)14:31
mntmndevyl: which session14:31
adjtm_I'm not surprised that gnome is slow on reform14:31
mntmndevyl: gnome?14:31
devyland i cant switch to another console with strg+alt14:32
devylthe windowmaker session14:32
devylsorry14:32
devyl^^14:32
mntmndevyl: killall cage14:32
mntmnpkill -9 cage14:32
devyli cant type it14:32
devylbecause i cant switch to a console14:32
mntmnthen reset14:32
mntmncircle+R14:32
mntmnyou can't escape cage14:32
mntmn(it's a kiosk)14:32
devylthats not that nice for the filesystem hm? ^^14:32
mntmnc'est la vie14:32
mntmnthe filesystem will recover, dont toggle the power, just do circle and then R for reset14:33
mntmnthe nvme power will not get cut then14:33
adjtm_devyl, can't you access the computer from another in the network?14:33
mntmni have hard reset mine countless times and never lost the FS14:33
devyladjtm_: i can but i want a daily usable system.14:33
mntmndevyl: the trick to quit cage is to kill it when you still have a terminal open14:34
devylyeah... or a "shut down script" to end the session (in fact kills cage)14:34
mntmnyep14:34
adjtm_devyl, I don't think I would use gnome on reform14:34
- specing (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~specing@unaffiliated/specing)14:34
* specing_ -> specing14:34
devylyeah... i dont think too14:34
devylxD14:34
adjtm_:)14:34
mntmnalso you can adapt the script that starts wmaker you can use it for other X wms too14:35
mntmnlike xfce4-session14:35
mntmnit's just an example14:35
devyljup14:35
devylthats the next i would try14:35
devyl^^14:35
mntmnbut when you hack around with that it's recommended to have another computer logged in via ssh maybe14:35
mntmnso you can kill cage if things go wrong14:35
adjtm_kde on wayland was even works some months ago (I heard it improved recently)14:35
adjtm_even worse14:35
mntmni was not able to even start wayland-kde on reform, it just freezes14:35
mntmni use sway as my daily driver. i really like it a lot14:36
mntmnbut it's a tiled WM14:36
mntmnsomeone should make a "classic" floating compositor for wayland14:36
devylindeed14:36
mntmnwithout fancy effects. xfce4 / gnome2 style14:36
adjtm_I have nor used X11 (except xwayland) for a year and a have, I use either sway or weston when I need something light14:36
mntmnmaybe i will do that one day ;)14:37
devylyes... xfce is working on that14:37
mntmnah if xfce is doing that, great14:37
mntmni mean all of the xfce4 applications already run natively14:37
mntmnbecause they're gtk314:37
KoodaXFCE on wayland would be great14:37
mntmni use xfce4-terminal on sway for example14:37
adjtm_I used xfce on the novena laptop and it worked well, reform is quite faster so it should be fine14:38
devylhmmm xfce-session likes to install lightdm14:38
mntmnyep i have quickly tried xfce at some point14:38
mntmndevyl: just uninstall lightdm14:38
adjtm_devyl, you can use whatever logging-manager you want with xfce14:38
devylyeah... i know but i thought it wouldnt be a good idea on the reform?14:40
mntmnyeah you don't need that14:40
adjtm_Kooda, I agree, it's sad that lighter desktops like xfce and lxde/lxqt have not focused on wayland some years ago, not it will take much more time to get there14:40
KoodaIt’s a lot of additional work yeah14:41
adjtm_now it will take...14:41
mntmni probably should ship a xfce4 example with the next reform-system-image, i just ran out of time and it is quite a lot of stuff14:41
mntmnprobably a recipe/script would suffice at first14:41
KoodaYou can let the community work on that for a bit. Take rests when you can, you already have a lot of work on your hands :)14:42
mntmnKooda: yeah, i always have the urge to solve all the problems ;)14:43
devylindeed14:43
adjtm_mntmn, any plan on the usb keyboard?14:43
Koodamntmn: I noticed that, I thankful that the software is in such a great shape at shipping time. :)  But you can’t solve everyone’s problem. :Þ14:43
mntmnadjtm_: what you mean plan?14:43
mntmnadjtm_: https://shop.mntmn.com/products/mnt-reform-usb-keyboard-standalone14:44
devylwow... enlightenment_start works out of the box14:44
devyl^^ no cage needed14:44
mntmndevyl: ah cool!!14:44
mntmndevyl: yeah enlightenment is wayland too14:44
adjtm_mntmn, ... :O14:44
mntmnadjtm_: spread the word ;)14:44
adjtm_I didn't see any announcement on mastodon!14:45
mntmnadjtm_: weird! i made one a few weeks ago. maybe i should post a reminder14:45
adjtm_March 10th... I missed it14:47
mntmnno problem :D i just boosted it again14:49
adjtm_mntmn, it's hackable, but can it run Crysis? :)14:50
devylok first try was fucked up xD the cursor doesnt move after setup on enlightenment/wayland14:50
devylhardware opengl was not a good idea14:51
devyllets see with software rendering...14:51
- pinoaffe (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (pinoaffepi@gateway/shell/pixie/x-opvhwlxfksxilasq)14:51
devylscreen stays black :(14:52
mntmndevyl: i'm p. sure i used enlightenment successfully. with hardware accel.14:53
devylhmmm the ui came up but the mouse didnt move with hw14:54
devylwith sw it stayed black14:54
devyl(after setup screens that worked well)14:54
mntmnok, no idea atm14:54
devylno problem14:55
adjtm_mntmn, right now only polycarbonate version can be preordered, right?14:55
mntmnadjtm_: no???14:56
mntmndid i do some fuckups?14:56
adjtm_:), I don't think so, it's my brain that doesn't work today14:56
mntmnok oof14:56
adjtm_so translucent is polycarbonate and the rest aluminum...14:56
adjtm_right?14:56
mntmni always get a mild panic attack when i think i messed up something in the shop admin14:57
mntmnadjtm_: yes14:57
mntmnthe polycarb is lighter14:57
mntmnthe aluminum is heavier14:57
adjtm_which one do you recommend?14:57
mntmnhmmmmm i like both. depends if you want a more weighted one or a more light one14:57
adjtm_sturdiness?14:58
adjtm_which one will survive more in the backpack?14:58
mntmnsimilar, the aluminum can take more beating though i guess14:58
mntmnaluminum14:58
mntmni mean it can get dents and scratches but otherwise pretty indestructible14:59
mntmnwhereas the polycarb could crack14:59
devylhm... xfce4 doesn't seam to like me too ^^ on the second launch it just displays a white screen15:20
devyl(with cursor)15:20
mntmndevyl: well, you have to detail a bit more what you're doing, or it's hard to follow15:31
mntmndevyl: suggestion: just start an xterm and no window manager first in the script. then start the session manually from this xterm15:31
mntmndevyl: this way you will see log output etc15:32
devylyeah i know i know :) i will debug it later... for now i will stay with sway x) (und must learn the key combos... read how to change the keymap ...)15:41
mntmndevyl: there is a post regarding the keymap in sway on community.mnt.re15:55
mntmndevyl: https://community.mnt.re/t/qwertz-and-delete-key/115/315:56
devylhm dont know but it says it cant find "symbols/my-layout"?16:03
devyl(yeah i have create the file ~/.xkb/symbols/my-layout)16:03
jackhillI wonder oh phosh would work on reform … presumably it works decently on iMX.8 :)16:28
jackhills/oh/how/16:28
devyli think sway ist a much better option... just because phosh is touch optimized16:31
jackhillACTION is excited to see a blossoming in the wayland compositor space with Vivarium, Wayfire, river, and dwl.16:33
jackhilldevyl: yeah, I just think of them as different things. phosh sounds like "a better GNOME shell", but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.16:35
jackhillhttps://puri.sm/posts/my-first-week-of-librem-5-convergence/ shows some use of phosh on the big screen :)16:37
jackhillnow we just need a MNT phone dock :)16:39
devylg16:39
devyli have a librem5 ... phosh works more smoothly then the full gnome shell16:39
devylit is nice to use with a nexdock for esmaple (like in this post)16:39
devylbut it's still very jung...16:40
jackhillcool, I guess that's all to be expected16:43
devyl * it is nice to use with a nexdock for example (like in this post)16:44
devyli'm looking forward to the next os release for the librem 5 and the cam driver ^^16:45
reverbdogadjtm_: i find heavier keyboards are nicer to type on, personally16:46
