I accept the change of license of aerc to GPLv3.

Re: [PATCH] feat: local ./bin install using make a month ago

From John Gebbie to ~geb/public-inbox

Thanks Will, it's cool to get a patch! I don't think I'll merge it directly
but you've raised some good ideas like the ./bin install and mic checking help.

Honestly I don't think there should be two ways to install numen and I
don't see the benefit of a makefile here.  Perhaps wrapper could export an
environment variable of the libexec dir that everything should use and then
you could install numen locally like:

    mkdir bin || exit
    ./install-numen.sh bin || exit
    sed -i 's:^export NUMEN_LIBEXEC=:export NUMEN_LIBEXEC=bin:' || exit
    ln -sf /usr/local/share/vosk-models bin/usr/local/share || exit

I recently added --audiolog for checking the mic but I should add something

X config files take precedence over udev vars, so I think it might be being
overridden there.  I've updated the repo to install a X config file of our
own, maybe see if it works.  (I also tweaked the udev rule from "add" to
"add|change" but meh.)

Nah that is weird and worth knowning.
I'm probably going to wait a bit before looking into these oddities directly,
and hope I find a different solution that covers X, Wayland and virtual
consoles in the meantime, but I appreciate any reports.

Oh right, thank you, that really is good to know, I didn't even know that
was a thing.

All the best,

Someone on the chat described maybe the same issue.
Still trying to figure it out but made some progress.

Don't feel you need to join, I'll report back anything, but here:

Hello,

That's annoying.
Does this command will help:

	setxkbmap -device "$(xinput -list --id-only 'dotool keyboard')" us

I'm not sure what the issue is. On mine if I run:

	setxkbmap gb
	echo 'key shift+x:grave' | dotool

It stills types ~ not ¬. Is that the same for you?

Re: Numen Multiple Processes Running 2 months ago

From John Gebbie to ~geb/public-inbox

I was surprised to see the same but one was just a subshell of another.

I looked at `ps -f <pid>` and `pstree <pid>`.  It was a harmless but
unnecessary subshell, which I've removed it if you git pull, and you can
see I just moved an ampersand if you `git show` after.

Before:

numen-+-awk
      |-kernel-+-kernel
      |        `-kernel-+-cat
      |                 `-dotool---4*[{dotool}]
      `-numen-+-awk
              |-record---arecord

Hi sublime, thanks for links and confirming all's good.  I've gone ahead
and merged the new changes into the master branch, so `git switch master`,
pull and reinstall.

I don't know when about the model but this is the vosk developer's blog:

and says he wants to catch up with other models here:

I'd love it if numen got some love on sites like handsfreecoding, I sent
him an email way way back and before I rewrote numen but I didn't get a reply.

The game's to be a 2D physics platform (a bit like LittleBigPlanet if you
know it) where the levels are just text that could come from files, the web

grumpy)

Hi sublime, a bit back I installed ubuntu on a wonky laptop and was able to
replicate issues you mentioned.

I got the same display manager infinite login loop problem.  I haven't worked
out how to stop gdm barging in but switching the display manager to lightdm
is a workaround.

With lightdm, Suspend/Hibernate should work now too (turned out zzz is a
void linux util).  Currently you need to type in your password which is a
bit annoying.
