Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

Yea, both have that commit up top. Fortunately i still have the output of makepkg in buffer, so here goes:
(EDIT: Sorry, accidentally posted the wrong makkepkg output, my recompile with some config.def.h change (other font), this is the right one)

@OT: What do you mean? Yes, the forum replaces :P with the tongue smilie, unless you hit the “Never show smilies as icons for this post” bcheckbox (below the editing box when you do a full Post reply and not just a quick post), as i just did. Why are you asking me though? Because of the "*naiv*" ? (I simply typed that)

I'll probably be offline all day, i'll look at it again in the evening.

Ogion

EDIT2: Just noticed, now i know what you mean with "replaces the tongue smilie with "tongue". That probably just happened because i highlighted your text with the mouse, and pasted it into my post, when doing that instead of some  picture (the smilie) then attribute text gets copied.

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

(Sorry for the double post)
I just makepkg'd again, and now it works properly, ignoring other mouse events but left or rightclick. smile

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

Hi, I added pango support to dunst.

however it does not show diffrent colors then "normal" and atm there is no cleanup for pango. Anyhow here is the patch file if someone wants it smile

Only in dunst_pango: config.h

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

Unfortunately, dunst seems to segfault when I try and get the Goggles Music Manager (package gogglesmm) to notify me when a track changes. Here's what dmesg reports:

dunst[4633]: segfault at 777aa550 ip b775f313 sp bf91dca8 error 4 in libdbus-1.so.3.5.8[b7734000+48000]

Anyone else experience a problem like this?

I just commited a change that should fix this problem. Please let me know, if there are still problems after you've updated dunst.

Many thanks for fixing this so quickly; the updated version seems to work fine as far as I have tested it.

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

I just pushed another commit a few minutes ago, because I noticed that while fixing one issue, I broke another thing.
Now everything should be fine again. Please update once more, just to make sure, that you've also included the latest commits with your update. Otherwise pidgin will be broken, for example.

I'm sorry for the inconvinience smile

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

I don't get it, why I have this problem:

I have dunst in my .xinitrc

...
dunst &
exec dbus-launch dwm-start

but a notify-send "test" doesn't output anything. But dunst is running! After killing and then starting dunst manually in a terminal or with dmenu, suddenly it works. What am I doing wrong?!

I'm not sure if it would help your case but I have dunst running fine from my xinitrc as:

dunst -t 3 &

I guess the problem is that dunst is started before the dbud-launch. I can atleast reproduce your problem, when I add the dbus-launch to my .xinitrc. you can try to put dunst in your start-dwm script, or remove the dbus-launch if it doesn't break anything else.

Is it possible to right align text?

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

Wow, I just discovered this and it's the last thing I wanted to add to make my system perfect! Thanks for writing this awesome program, knopwob!

I do have a small feature request though: I have disabled client titles in DWM so I have an 'empty space' between my tag names and the statusbar. It would be nice if I could make dunst 'fit' in there, instead of that it 'overwrites' the bar. I have already set geometry x so that it doesn't cover the tag names, but could you somehow implement another geometry option for maximum length or something? On the first page I read you were gonna add a similar feature (breaking of lines as set maximum length got passed) so if you have already started working on this, then I would +1 that one!

Again, many thanks! big_smile

Perhaps you want the -geometry -x option?

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

@Šaran
No there isn't

@Unia
I'm glad you like it.


Dunst is currently in bugfix-only-mode because I switched to python for my coding.
But reimplementing dunst(+ some wanted features) in python is on my todolist.

Aaaaaaargh! The lack of overhead with dunst is what I love most about it ... without the not-insignificant overhead of Python.
Or is it 1 April ...?!

If you satisfied with the current state, there's nothing stopping you to just keep using it ;-)

And what overhead of python do you mean? The memory overhead should be in the same dimention
as the overhead of running a bash instance for shellscripts (i guess). Or don't you like shellscripts either?

And the cpu overhead is also neglectable since dunst is sleeping most of the time anyway.

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

ran into some troubles, while compiling on debian sid and freebsd 9.0:

pod2man README.pod > dunst.1
dunst build options:
CFLAGS   = -g -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Os -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -D_BSD_SOURCE -DVERSION="" -DXINERAMA
LDFLAGS  = -s -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -ldbus-1 -lpthread -lrt -lXinerama
CC       = cc
CC -c draw.c
CC -c dunst.c
In file included from dunst_dbus.h:1:0,
                 from dunst.c:77:
/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:29:33: fatal error: dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [dunst.o] Error 1

The solution is to add

-I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include

to the end of the line

INCS = -I${X11INC} -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0

in config.mk
Maybe this could be fixed or pointed out on the github site, so people know what to do, when they get the same error smile

Re: dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

Hi,

I've got some new (well, mostly old, not yet merged) features in the pipeline.

Before I merge them into the master branch, I wanted to know if you guys prefer to configure dunst at compiletime via config.h or a configuration file in your $HOME? Basically I want to know if I should merge my config-file-branch or not. At the moment these two options are mutually exclusive.

Oh and xft-support will be included. You have to thank Unia for that.

I would prefer through config.h!

Doesn't really matter.

I do hope it's an option only and I still will be able to use good old bitmap fonts? neutral

Perhaps it's best to maintain the two branches that you have now, Knopwob.

Configuration file would be my preference; and that's great about the Xft support too.
