| FilipZ | Hi! I have a problem with my middle mouse button randomly ceasing to work. Of course I checked, and it isn't an issue connected to the specific mouse. What could cause the issue, how could I find it out and then fix it? | 02:25 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | first you gotta figure out what sequence of events is actually causing it | 02:29 |
| gnarface | it's unlikely to be actually random | 02:29 |
| gnarface | maybe a bug in libinput or xorg or some gui mouse configuration tool you're loading by default? | 02:30 |
| gnarface | it's not something i've ever seen happen, but if it only changes on reboot or login or something like that, that could be a clue | 02:30 |
| gnarface | also make sure you test with more than one program, it could just be a bug in that one program | 02:31 |
| gnarface | xev is good test tool | 02:31 |
| FilipZ | I think that it might be somehow locked by something after changing the active windows. | 02:32 |
| gnarface | maybe one of the window manager specific tools | 02:33 |
| gnarface | ...for whatever window manager you're using | 02:33 |
| FilipZ | I am not using any additional mouse configuration tool. I am using the default for a Chimaera. | 02:33 |
| gnarface | i don't know that it doesn't have one | 02:33 |
| FilipZ | Sorry. An Xfce. | 02:34 |
| gnarface | i don't use xfce either but some people around here do, maybe one of them knows and can tell you if you hang around | 02:34 |
| gnarface | another option would be to try to specify the mouse button configuration manually in xorg.conf, which should disable auto-detection to avoid misbehavior in xorg auto-detection | 02:35 |
| gnarface | but at this point i can't be sure exactly what to place the blame on | 02:35 |
| gnarface | next time it stops behaving, fire up xev and see if xev can see the button anymore or not | 02:36 |
| rwp | +1 for xev checking if input is being received. Because this really sounds like a mouse button problem. (My middle button is getting flaky.) | 04:37 |
| rwp | I have a Banana Pi that I want to install Devuan upon. I find: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/ but nothing newer than ASCII. | 07:44 |
| rwp | Am I looking in the right place? | 07:44 |
| rwp | I also know about https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/ | 07:44 |
| rwp | Which does have a current image. And can install it and migrate it from Debian to Devuan. | 07:44 |
| rwp | I am heading down that path for lack of knowing anything better. | 07:45 |
| Jjp137 | I don't know much about ARM but maybe ask #devuan-arm? | 07:57 |
| Jjp137 | if you haven't already | 07:57 |
| rwp | Good idea! I'll ask over there. Thanks! | 08:01 |
| Guest145 | Howdy! Does anyone happen to have pointers to a tutorial that explains how I'd go about getting a "new-style daemon" (i.e. one written _specifically_ for systemd/libsystemd) to work on Devuan? | 21:33 |
| debiankaios | Guest145, what do you mean | 21:49 |
| debiankaios | i thought on devuan runs no systemd | 21:51 |
| debiankaios | on mine not so far i know | 21:51 |
| Guest145 | Exactly... but I want to run a service (rust-u2f), which was built to run *with* systemd. | 21:53 |
| Guest145 | I'm guessing this is likely not the first or only "new-style" daemon. So, someone must have figured out how to run those **without** systemd. | 21:55 |
| Guest145 | "failed to get LISTEN_PID: environment variable not found" | 21:55 |
| Guest145 | I guess. O | 21:55 |
| Guest145 | Trying to search for the error doesn't turn up anything useful... | 21:57 |
| Guest145 | The daemon(s) do(es) have an option that is likely the key to fixing this: | 21:59 |
| Guest145 | -s, --socket <path> Bind to specified socket path instead of file-descriptor from systemd | 21:59 |
| Guest145 | I'm just not sure how to use that... | 22:00 |
| debiankaios | ok | 22:13 |
| debiankaios | i don't know it to | 22:13 |
| debiankaios | because i use only what aviable is | 22:14 |
| rwp | Guest145 has part'd already but it sounds like it might have been a good match for running under inetd/xinetd given the description. | 23:50 |
