| Dieter_be | i don't see how python can be better then C+lua |
| anrxc | I remember something about awesome becoming like a lua implementation of python's object model |
| anrxc | but that should be discussed with author him self |
| Dieter_be | i see |
| qacek | anrxc: i thought it was bazinga http://git.naquadah.org/?p=~jd/bazinga.git;a=summary |
| anrxc | there are two projects, one is some kind of core, other a wm |
| qacek | oh i see |
| Kodama | anrxc I'd like to make the font size of your .Xdefaults a little bigger but nothing seems to work |
| anrxc | what font, what application? |
| Kodama | well the xterm part |
| anrxc | open one xterm now |
| anrxc | execute command xfontsel |
| Kodama | ok |
| anrxc | from fndry select xos4, from family select terminus from others select how you wish your font to look like |
| anrxc | when you are done click on the "select" button |
| anrxc | that will paste the font to your clipboard which you can paste to your Xdefaults |
| Kodama | don't hav xos4 in fndry |
| anrxc | then you don't have terminus at all? |
| anrxc | heh |
| Kodama | well I have 17 entries there but no xos4 |
| anrxc | I guess what happens is terminus is not found and xterm defaults to some basic small font |
| anrxc | you use arch linux right? |
| Kodama | right |
| anrxc | pacman -Ss terminus-font |
| anrxc | think you can refresh the font database without restarting X |
| Kodama | done |
| anrxc | command should be: xset fp rehash |
| anrxc | hope that works, if not you have to restart your X for it to see terminus |
| anrxc | you could've used another font, but terminus is good, and you said you want your destop to look like mine |
| anrxc | an _I_'ve been using terminus for more years than I can remember |
| anrxc | how did I ever find it that first time... |
| Kodama | looks like I have to restart x |
| Kodama | just a sec |
| GGLucas | Kodama: gnu screen |
| GGLucas | Look it up. |
| GGLucas | :) |
| GGLucas | anrxc: You managed to get terminus in xfontsel? |
| Kodama | still no terminus or xos4 |
| GGLucas | I never managed to, always had to go through fontconfig/xft. |
| anrxc | only way for that to happen is you don't have /usr/share/fonts/local/ in the X FontPath ? |
| GGLucas | Kodama: What does `fc-match -s terminus` output? |
| anrxc | yeah if xft works you can use that ... and you'll be happier because there's no cryptic lines only "Terminus:size=16" |
| anrxc | or something like that |
| Kodama | http://pastie.org/984881 |
| GGLucas | Isn't it slower though? |
| GGLucas | Kodama: Hm. Your bitmap fonts are probably disabled. |
| anrxc | perhaps |
| GGLucas | Oh wait, no they aren't. |
| GGLucas | You typod. |
| anrxc | not that he will notice, IRC'ing here :) |
|
|
| anrxc | he made a mistake |
| anrxc | but terminus is available...see bottom of list |
| GGLucas | Yeah. |
| GGLucas | Hence my "typod". |
| anrxc | I don't know how xterm*font is with xft |
| GGLucas | Oh damn, adding /usr/share/fonts/local to fontpath did the trick. Why did I never think of that. |
| anrxc | xterm*font: "xft:Terminus" |
| GGLucas | Doing it directly there _should_ be faster than xft no? |
| anrxc | don't know let's test |
| anrxc | time seq -f "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog %g" 1000000 |
| anrxc | urxvt 1.49s user 2.22s, xterm with the same font is still running and I see no end :) |
| Kodama | ok thank you guys...will read the font wiki of arch linux tomorrow...have to go to bed now...bye |
| anrxc | Kodama: don't need to |
| anrxc | let me check my dotfiles log |
| Kodama | ok but I have to read a little more into xfontsel |
| anrxc | here it is |
| GGLucas | 13s with xft, 10s with direct x fonts |
| anrxc | Kodama: |
| anrxc | shit |
| anrxc | clipboard lost, moment |
| anrxc | Kodama: from what you pasted we know that xft will work |
| anrxc | Kodama: so try this instead of those font lines: xterm*faceName: terminus:pixelsize=10 |
| GGLucas | Oh nice. I can still use xft fonts as backup for unicode glyphs. |
| anrxc | Kodama: adjust the size as you see fit - it's what got you here in the first place |
| Kodama | yes, right...it's just that your font size is a little too small for me...kinda hard to read |
| anrxc | that was not my font size |
| anrxc | you did not have my font, xterm was defaulting to some generic one |
| Kodama | ah, ok, that's why changing the size from 12 to 16 had no effect |
| anrxc | exactly :) |
| Kodama | really have to sleep now...thanks for your help |
| anrxc | I should too |
| Action: Elv13 anrxc need to sleep? |
| Elv13 | this is new |
| anrxc | should and will are miles away :) |
| Elv13 | oh, wait "should" not will |
| anrxc | it doesn't go well with my sleep disorder |
| anrxc | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome |
| GGLucas | Bah. I keep getting seduced by smaller fonts. |
| GGLucas | Every once in a while I switch to 10px terminus. |
| GGLucas | But then I get annoyed and switch back. |
| GGLucas | In _theory_ I should be able to use it, so it pisses me off. |
| anrxc | developed the disorder when I had dial-up, at night rates were cheaper |
| anrxc | and in general they were so high 80% of my pay at that time went for the phone bill |
| GGLucas | anrxc: That sounds like most geeks I know :P |
| anrxc | ...and one crucial fact, 70% of my job was the third shift, nights |
| bolt | in section 3.9 of the FAQ, what does this line actually do? ==> awful.menu.menu_keys.down = { "Down", "Alt_L" } |
| GGLucas | Including myself. |
| anrxc | perfect combination for the disorder, courtesy of T-Com :) |
| GGLucas | What's the difference between DSPS and regular old can't get to sleep until 3AM? |
| anrxc | yeah, but can we/you go back? I can not, I tried everything :\ |
| Elv13 | it have a not so cool name, thats the difference |
| anrxc | it's funny how in the beggining I was happy, I was hacking away while the society slept |
| GGLucas | For one or two days after physical exhaustion :P |
| anrxc | now I want to cry |
| anrxc | this is going on for 7 years now |
| anrxc | it's not just some thing... |
| anrxc | so beware young(er) hackers :( |
| Elv13 | don't worry, dial up is long dead |
| Elv13 | but coding at night is fun |
| anrxc | the romantic idea of hacking while other sleep can get you in trouble :) |
| Elv13 | umm, I found a solution |
| GGLucas | I've long given up on trying to go to bed early. Sometimes it works but usually you end up sleeping even later than if you'd just stayed up. |
| Elv13 | you should use my wonderfull blue awesome theme, it is so relaxing that you don't need sleep anymore! |
| anrxc | talking about this reminded me of http://everything2.com/title/deep+hack+mode |
| anrxc | you start around midnight on something, next thing you know it's daylight and birds are singing :) |
| GGLucas | That's really only 4-5 hours. |
| anrxc | max time I managed to meditate is like 10 minutes :) |
| anrxc | being lost like this for hours is amazing to me |
| anrxc | I guess gamers experience it too |
| GGLucas | Happens when I'm biking from/to uni. Suddenly I'm 20 minutes further and I can't remember having been there. |
| anrxc | not a safe way to participate in traffic :) |
| GGLucas | Nah, you still do everything you'd normally do, just subconsciously. |
| anrxc | perhaps like driving, lots of people say they do it automatically without thinking |
| GGLucas | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_hypnosis |
| anrxc | wow this is interesting |
| GGLucas | Of course I object to that name. It makes me insinuate I'm badass enough to drive my bike on a highway, and then people get disappointed when I'm not. |
| Elv13 | It's not badass, it's plain stupid, I did it a few time (drunk) and I almost killed myself 1000 time |
| GGLucas | I'm assuming you can go the same speed as everyone else on the highway. |
| GGLucas | Or it would be stupid yes. |
| Elv13 | well, I can go faster than a car, but not on a highway |
| Elv13 | other subject (and as always in this chatroom, off topic), anybody used the -ffast-math gcc optimisation? |
| GGLucas | Oh wow with terminus 10px that little seq test took 60 seconds. |
| GGLucas | I mean I expected it to be slower because it needs to paint more of the screen, but that's crazyi. |
| bolt | hm.. nevermind. worked it out :) |
| anrxc | what? |
| bolt | ? |
| anrxc | define ? |
| bolt | are you asking me what i worked out? |
| anrxc | yes, did you ask a question? |
| bolt | yes |
| bolt | about 30 minutes ago |
| bolt | "in section 3.9 of the FAQ, what does this line actually do? ==> awful.menu.menu_keys.down = { "Down", "Alt_L" }" |
| anrxc | ah sorry, actually saw that |
| bolt | it just sets the Down and Alt_L keys to move down in the menu |
| anrxc | it's a little trick I came up with |
| anrxc | in other OS/DE you press Alt+Tab and keep pressing tab to cycle |
| anrxc | important thing being to not have to move ones hand to cycle, |
| bolt | ah. so now you can keep pressing alt :) |
| bolt | clever |
| anrxc | also important to have a familliar binding, but Alt+Tab is not as good as Alt+Esc |
| anrxc | so Tab can not cycle we use Esc, and Esc can not cycle because of why we use Esc in the first place |
| anrxc | we use Esc because Esc closes the menu, which also means if you press Alt+Esc while menu is open it will close - effect of toggle |
| anrxc | in the end our binding has just one line, just one call to awful.menu.clients! |
| anrxc | otherwise we would have to toggle the menu our selves |
| anrxc | this is not official, this is my solution to the usability problem |
| bolt | i bound it to alt+tab, actually. just felt more natural to me. and i had it display at the very upper right corner of the screen, below the wibox. i also moved the Mod4+w menu so it always goes to the upper left corner below the wibox. i like it a lot :D |
| anrxc | then it is not like I intented... |
| anrxc | intended* |
| bolt | what did you intend? |
| anrxc | pressing Alt+Tab could end you up with multiple menus |
| anrxc | I just explained what, the Esc trick |
| bolt | ah |
| bolt | that's true |
| bolt | i'll move it to esc then. didn't know about the esc thingy when i read the faq |
| anrxc | or, |
| anrxc | map Tab to close the menu to ge thte same effect, or even better Alt to close Tab to cycle |
| anrxc | but it adds more lines to rc.lua - my goal as I said before was to be as minimal as possible - one line |
| bolt | rebound now :) |
| Action: bolt is off to bed |
| anrxc | I would also like to have it on alt+tab with tab to cycle |
| anrxc | but I'm not willing to sacrifice 2 lines of rc.lua |
| bolt | anrxc: thanks for the great support you're providing. i find you're almost always the one answering my questions, and i greatly appreciate it :D |
| anrxc | I'm just the looser with least social life :) |
| anrxc | tomorrow it could be someone else... |
| anrxc | or maybe |
| anrxc | I have an IRC disorder! :) |
| anrxc | yeah, I like that explanation... |
| anrxc | btw I didn't know shit when I came in here, it was farhaven answering all my questions |
| anrxc | for dust you are and to dust you will return |
| Bolkonskij | hi |
| Garoth | Huh: check it out guys, do a google for "awesome" ;) |
| Elv13 | it's mosly localised, so nobody will have the same result |
| qacek | it might be using your history, i get http://ohmythatsawesome.com/ |
| rbistolfi | I get awesome.naquadah.org/ first and http://ohmythatsawesome.com/ second |
| Elv13 | try using a proxy and see if it is still the case, then google just know too much about you |
| TheBrayn | howdy folks |
| TheBrayn | how can I get rid of this wallpaper message after starting awesom? |
| Kodama | good morning...can I set antialias for fonts in my taskbar? (somewhere in the theme.lua maybe?) |
| noxville | ^_^, having a problem with fbsetbg -f on multiple monitors (it's taking image 1 and stretching it). Any ideas? |
| farhaven | noxville: try nitrogen instead :) |
| farhaven | works fine for setting multihead wallpapers here |
| noxville | farhaven: Okie. |
| DigitalKiwi | nitrogen++ |
| martin | re |
| Dieter_be | TheBrayn: ply |
| TheBrayn | ply? |
| raph_ael_ | re / ply |
| TheBrayn | :D |
| macrobat | is there a wallpaper message? haven't noticed |
