13:04 <__toor__> I got screensharing working :)

13:05 <__toor__> Now I will try and throw out pulseaudio and replace it with pipewire-pulse since I anyway need to have pipewire installed for screensharing to work

13:45 <__toor__> seems to work. ok enough fiddling for now. ;-)

14:26 <__toor__> does river support Xwayland rootless? ifreund

14:26 <__toor__> Xwayland says it seens wm support for it to work

14:26 <__toor__> -rootless run rootless, requires wm support

14:27 <__toor__> or perhaps that is for a wm running inside Xwayland. not sure really what it means.

14:51 <cateru> hi.

14:51 <cateru> im trying to capture a window using zig

14:51 <cateru> is there a library i can use ?

14:51 <cateru> any hints are welcome

14:51 <cateru> thank you so much

15:48 <ifreund> __toor__: yes, you need to build wlroots and river with xwayland support

15:48 <ifreund> and river invokes the xwayland binary itself with the necessary arguments

16:18 <cateru> i will run the code inside riverwm that supports xwayland.

16:18 <cateru> so i won't need to build anything. right ?

16:23 <tiosgz> cateru: ifreund was responding to a question before you joined (see the channel log if you're interested) and the answer isn't relevant to your issue. welcome to irc :)

16:24 <tiosgz> as for your question, i'm quite confused. are you really trying to capture a window using zig (the programming language)?

16:24 <cateru> yes

16:27 <tiosgz> (geez. typed several things and deleted them. pls take my replies with some salt and patience.)

16:28 <tiosgz> as of now it isn't possible to capture a specific window under river, other than capturing the whole screen and cropping that to the window

16:29 <tiosgz> to capture the whole screen, you'll need to use the relevant wayland protocol (wlr-screencopy or something i believe), and to use that you need libwayland and zig-wayland

16:30 <tiosgz> (there's ext-screencopy coming which can capture a specific window afaik, but i don't know if it's even landed in wayland-protocols. and it definitely isn't in river yet.)

16:36 <cateru> nice

16:37 <cateru> capturing screen works

16:44 <cateru> so i will only need zig-wayland

16:51 <cateru> do i need to run the code inside river or can i create headless wayland sessions and run capture from them

16:53 <tiosgz> you don't need river specifically, but in that case you need another compositor (since that's what runs the wayland session). plus the compositor needs to support the protocol you use

16:54 <tiosgz> ("runs" as in the compositor is the wayland session)

16:58 <cateru> thank you so much

16:58 <cateru> is there a way to simulate events like mouse and keyboard events

17:11 <leon-p> there is a protocol for virtual keyboard events at least

17:12 <leon-p> I recommend you look through /usr/share/wayland-protocols (if you have wayland-protocols installed). you'll likely find the answer to many questions therw

17:16 <cateru> i will

17:19 <__toor__> ifreund: I ran into that realization and quickly backed out ... ;-)

17:20 <__toor__> I will use gamescope in a docker container. I got minecraft working (via flatpak) and a sidecar loaded gamescope instance. They are running rootless so no spurioous empty Xorg window appears before the game starts rendering

17:21 <__toor__> This pretty much concludes my OS build I think. Now I just need to package it up so its consumable by the general public. That is, so I can reinstall it myself on my other machines LOL
