00:04 <leon-p> jacobly: are you using the proprietary driver for that nvidia card? It's not officially suported and has a reputation of being wonky

00:05 <leon-p> I assume it does not show up on the laptop screen? (I assume it's a laptop since one of the connectors is named eDP-1)

00:07 <leon-p> laptop screens are usually connected to the integrated graphics chip and if you render on the dedicated graphics card it has to be copied over. Maybe that doesn't work here

00:22 <k-man> is there a way to get grim to flash the screen to indicate it took a screenshot?

00:22 <k-man> or some kind if visible feedback?

00:23 <k-man> also how can i not only save the screenshot to a file, also copy to clipboard?

00:29 <leon-p> to copy the file to the clipboard: grim -t png - | wl-copy

00:30 <leon-p> if you want both, file and clipboard, use `tee` in the pipeline

00:30 <leon-p> for flashing the screen, maybe a script that adjusts the backlight? I don't think there is any tool to render a screen flash like that

00:31 <k-man> thanks leon-p

01:16 <k-man> how do i lock screen when i close the lid?

01:16 <k-man> of my laptop

01:18 <leon-p> k-man: there are multiple ways to achieve that, the simplest is probably to use `riverctl map-switch <mode> lid close spawn <lock command>`

01:26 <jacobly> leon-p, this feature support table says that nouveau doesn't support this card so I didn't know what else to use

01:28 <leon-p> it's a laptop, right? so it should have an integrated graphics chip

01:29 <jacobly> oh, use that driver instead?

01:29 <leon-p> yes

01:30 <leon-p> should be in mesa though

02:17 <jacobly> alright, main laptop screen is working now

02:25 <NickH> k-man: I use this function for screenshots with notificataion https://0x0.st/H4j4.txt

02:27 <k-man> is that sh ?

02:27 <NickH> bash

02:28 <k-man> nice

02:28 <k-man> i shall study it later

02:28 <k-man> thanks NickH

02:28 <k-man> how do you handle switching on/off/mirror outputs ?

02:28 <k-man> like when you plug a projector into the laptop

02:28 <NickH> kanshi

02:29 <k-man> thanks leon-p

02:30 <NickH> The trick with using funtions like that is to actually bind to them. Easist way is to put them in standalone scripts then

02:32 <NickH> riverctl map normal None Print spawn "path/to/my-screenshot.sh"

02:32 <NickH> and

02:32 <NickH> riverctl map normal Super Print spawn "path/to/my-screenshot.sh interactive"

02:57 <k-man> so my-screenshot.sh would call the function?

02:57 <k-man> or have the function in it and call it

03:04 <k-man> why do so many of these projects appear archived on gh and moved to sh? due to ms owning gh?

05:30 <jacobly> wow, proprietary graphics driver is instantly wonky

07:07 <NickH> my-screenshot.sh would just contain a #!/bin/bash and then the code that is within that function.

07:10 <NickH> In my (probably overly complicated) setup that function definition is inside the init file and I make the keybinding run the init file with an argument a that causes it to do nothing other than run that function...

07:17 <NickH> My init file is a beast... I can share it but it will probably result in generating more questions than it answers ;-)

11:34 <ifreund> I must admit, that claim makes me curious to see it :D

18:55 <tiosgz> ifreund: having seen your reply to #877 (wl-mirror crash), i guess i should link back to https://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/river/2023-09-05#1693906336-1693906381; / https://0x0.st/HpnX.log

18:56 <tiosgz> unfortunately i have no way to help further anymore, as i've only got the laptop screen now

18:56 <ifreund> tiosgz: ah thanks, I tend to forget things if I don't write them down :)

18:57 <tiosgz> happens to all of us :)

18:58 <leon-p> hell, I forgot things even if I write them down...

19:02 <ifreund> hmm, I think I did try physically unplugging the monitor though I'll try again

19:02 <ifreund> maybe I had kanshi running which messed with it

19:03 <tiosgz> btw it may be better to re-upload the log for archival purposes

19:03 <tiosgz> cos 0x0's nature

19:05 <adamcstephens> fwiw I'm using kanshi. i hope to run some tests this evening

19:06 <ifreund> welp, I still can't reproduce following the steps in the issue with no kanshi running

19:07 <tiosgz> hmm. i thought i left more info in the log, but apparently there isn't anything about focus or whatever may be relevant. i recall i had to try several times though

19:08 <ifreund> ah, if it's not deterministic that suggest a race

19:15 <ifreund> From glancing at the come it really seems more like a wlroots bug to be honest

19:16 <ifreund> I think I'll move on to other bugs for now and come back to it once the issue tracker is a bit cleaner

19:25 <TheAnachron> hey, does anybody here use wf-recorder? I am having trouble with the quality as mentioned in the issue https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder/issues/130

19:31 <ifreund> I use obs when I need to record something personally

19:31 <ifreund> I don't claim to use it well though

19:32 <tiosgz> ftr, from the log it seems like i had wl-mirror on the external output. not sure if that matters though

19:33 <TheAnachron> I would rather not use something as complicated as OBS, I've checked a 1 hour video tutorial and I can hardly grasp how it works

19:34 <tiosgz> it may have some consequences like the output trying to rerender, but the client already gone. i'm just phantasising now though. phaps better to ignore this

19:40 <ifreund> I never looked up how to use obs fwiw, I just grabbed it from the package manager and fumbled my way through the UI for a few minutes

19:40 <ifreund> seemed pretty self-explanatory for simple things

19:46 <ifreund> tiosgz: nice, having the wl-mirror window on the output that gets unplugged did it

20:03 <TheAnachron> oh yeah and also, I dont really like GUI stuff :P I automate most things

20:05 <TheAnachron> like I wrote a wrapper for wf-record that guides me through a wizard to say which type to record (desktop, area) and which audio source (Speaker, Micro, None) and then checks for a GPU that supports GPU acceleration and then automatically passes the right flags to wf-recorder

20:32 <ifreund> welp, I fixed the wl-mirror crash but then realized it had already been fixed several months ago in wlroots master xD

22:45 <adamcstephens> sorry ifreund, I should have checked wlroots

22:46 <adamcstephens> I can confirm the fix in wlroots does fix the crash
