Enlightenment-Git (AUR Package) Mouse Pointer Observance

mrunion · 2014-01-17 00:04:52

Does anyone else have the issue with the latest Enlightenment-Git build from AUR causing the mouse pointer to be the "default" (or non-E) pointer for the first minute or two of logging into Enlightenment? Also, if you go into the Mouse settings, the cursor will always change from the E cursor to the "default" cursor.

I'm still investigating this, but wanted to know if others were affected.

I "downgraded" today to the latest release in the [extra] repos (0.18) and the cursor is fine. I'll just hang out here with that. Thanks all!

I haven't noticed anything like you're describing, but there has been a lot of work in master. Bugs are coming and going constantly right now.

Thanks, Scimma. I definitely understand that running a git package can produce some random bugs. Thanks for confirming it was either temporary or just me. I'm gonna stick with the "stable" version for a few days while I put some energy elsewhere. But I'll definitely be back on the git version(s) before too long.

Thanks for all the help!

Yes i get the cursor changing thing in some cases. There is a bug for when you open the settings pannel and the cursor enters its area.

Now that you've pointed it out, I've noticed my cursor changing occasionally, too. So, yeah, thanks for that. It was better when I didn't know what to look for.

Sorry...

I haven't re-tried the Git version from AUR yet -- weekend was too busy.

Give it another shot, discomfitor just did a bunch of work on the mouse cursors. I had actually found a way to make the cursor disappear completely! Glad that got fixed.

mrunion · 2014-01-23 23:30:43

Cool! I'll move that up on my priority list -- hopefully get to it tonight. Thanks for the update!

Is it normal to get "downgrade" notifications when installing this package? I have efl-git installed and built right before building this package, and it "appears" that the version is actually an upgrade, but I want to make sure.

No, something is going very wrong with the pkgver function. efl_version is a variable, it should have been replaced with the actual number. I tested it before I uploaded it and I just tried it now, it works just fine here. Are you sure nothing got changed or corrupted in the PKGBUILD?

Edit: just realized that this is probably what you get if you have an old copy of the PKGBUILD. They just changed the way the version number is constructed in Elm about 24 hours ago and I changed the PKGBUILD in the AUR to match. Make sure you have the latest version.

That's probably it. I just rebuilt it without actually checking the PKGBUILD. Sorry for the trouble!
