i copied the sample config from the website. but when i launch a new foot, i get error: /home/jason/.config/foot/foot.ini:37: invalid section name: bell
<k-man>
hi manio
<k-man>
v 1.6.4 +ime from debian bullseye
<dnkl>
the web page's example is for the latest version, 1.10
<novakane>
k-man: that's because the separate bell section was added in a later version, 1.8
<k-man>
oh
<dnkl>
doesn't Debian package the example file as part of the foot package?
<k-man>
i couldn't see it
<k-man>
let me check
<k-man>
oh yes it is there thanks
<k-man>
i thought sample config files usually go in /usr/share/doc/<package>/
<k-man>
so i only looked there
<k-man>
i could be wrong about that though
<dnkl>
no idea, it's up to the distribution :)
<k-man>
can i build it from source easily?
<dnkl>
I think so. I don't run Debian myself.
<k-man>
ok, managed to build and install it
<k-man>
that was pretty painless
<w0rm>
I wonder if k-man is going to hit some runtime issues wrt old fcft or other libs ...
<k-man>
w0rm: seems to be working so far
<w0rm>
k-man: what's the fcft version?
<w0rm>
though I guess if you mostly deal with ascii and no weird glyphs it might not make that much of a difference
<k-man>
w0rm: how can i tell? i'm not sure what fcft is
<w0rm>
I have never bothered to remember dpkg/apt stuff so I can't tell you - I'd have to google. fcft is one of the libraries foot depends on
<dnkl>
k-man: foot may have built against a later fcft, if the system version was too old. Check foot's log output, it'll say which fcft version it's using
<w0rm>
meson really is a gread build system :-)
<k-man>
i have met the author of meson a couple of times
<k-man>
fcft.c:304: fcft: 1.10.3-87-g027603cb
<dnkl>
hmm, I think that means it's an old fcft version
