11:55 <dnkl> I'm seeing a weird surface enter/leave/enter sequence on latest master (haven't checked other versions) when starting up foot.

11:56 <dnkl> it only happens on one of the monitors, in a two-monitor setup

11:57 <dnkl> happens with alacritty too

11:58 <dnkl> the three events are right after each other. Nothing else in between

12:02 <ifreund> hmm, the wlroots scene graph is what sends those events on master. Perhaps we're doing something redundant like a enable -> disable -> enable sequence all synchronously

12:03 <ifreund> I don't think its possibly to solve that kind of thing generally without work on the wlr_scene side though

12:04 <ifreund> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3187 is related

12:04 <ifreund> as is https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3486

12:05 <ifreund> there are also almost certainly cases in which river's usage of the wlr_scene API causes over-damaging

12:05 <dnkl> thanks for the pointers!

12:05 <ifreund> dnkl: is it causing a problem for foot or is just an annoying inefficiency?

12:07 <dnkl> no problems, just inefficiency; it triggers font reloads and grid resizes

12:07 <dnkl> (due to either scale or DPI changes)

12:27 <RZ_MJ[m]> I'd like to put some keymappings behind a "prefix" keymapping similar to how tmux does it. Obviously modes are what I need to use here. Am I correct that I need to create a little script (which I can obviously inline instead of having an extra file) for every prefixed mapping to return to normal mode?

12:34 <ifreund> RZ_MJ[m]: yeah... modes aren't really that fleshed out feature wise. Your options are either that or implement something better in river and convince me to merge it xD

12:41 <RZ_MJ[m]> Uhh, well... I'm comfortable with Lua, know a bit of Shell and JS and just recently started learning my first statically typed language with Go. That's all. I would love to contribute to FOSS projects, but its going to take a while until I feel competent enough to do so (and competent enough to touch manual memory management). I didn't mean to sound complaining btw., just wanted to doublecheck I'm not configuring unecessary detours.

12:44 <ifreund> no worries!

12:56 <leon-p> realistically all that's needed for that use case would be a way to enter a mode only for a single bind and then return. `riverctl enter-mode -oneshot prefix`

12:59 <ifreund> yeah, there's probably some edge cases to consider though too

15:14 <HamzaShahid> Hello Everyone!

15:15 <HamzaShahid> This is my first experience with wayland, and I chose to use RiverWM, yambar & swww. Everything works wonderfully except emacs hanging but that is not the main issue

15:15 <HamzaShahid> I wanted a monacle layout ONLY A SINGLE FRAME. I tried using Kile but it forces you to have 2 frames split.

15:15 <HamzaShahid> How can I achieve a single Frame with stacked windows with RiverWM?

15:15 <HamzaShahid> Thanks in Advance

15:17 <novakane> HamzaShahid: you could try rivercarro or stacktile, both can do it

15:21 <HamzaShahid> Oh, I was just on that, there seems to be no useful ReadME in stacktile and I don't have much experience with zig. Can you kindly explain to me how I could build it?

15:30 <HamzaShahid> Sorry There was a power outage here.

15:30 <HamzaShahid> Was there any reponse for me before this message?

15:43 <leon-p> HamzaShahid: for stacktile just git clone the repo and inside do `git submodule update --init` and then `zig build`

15:43 <leon-p> configuration is explained in the man pages

15:43 <leon-p> requires zig 0.10 btw

15:45 <HamzaShahid> Oh I got the github version too

15:45 <hamza> I will try to figure out the monacle thing, Thanks a bunch!

16:28 <JustineSmithies> I see on the void package changes it says dbus-elogind: remove package.

16:29 <JustineSmithies> Does that mean I've to remove it it or will things switch automatically on the next update check ???

16:29 <JustineSmithies> Also will any services or settings be affected ? TIA ;)

16:29 <JustineSmithies> Sorry wrong room DOH !
