00:05 <ifreund> text-input isnt the same as wlr-virtual-keyboard, which is what would actually make sense to use for this IMO

00:06 <ifreund> donio: the window manager decides which window has keyboard focus, it should be able to guarantee that the events are sent to the intended window

00:07 <ifreund> theres a potential race I see currently, but we can add a synchronization request to the rwm protocol if that proves problematic in practice

00:09 <ifreund> and just to avoid confusion, wtype is using the virtual keyboard protocol not text-input

01:36 <leon-p> huh, just looked at the virtual keyboard protocol and an unauthorized client attempting to bind the interface being a protocol error isn't great...

03:14 <donio> what makes a client authorized or unauthorized? do any of the compositors or compositor libraries ever return "unauthorized"?

03:37 <schneid3306> i am using swayidle to suspend my pc if it is inactive for 30 minutes. i would like to avoid that if there is an ssh session. is there something in riverctl that i can call programatically to "reset" the idle timer? right now my script just restarts swayidle service, which isn't very clean

03:43 <leon-p> schneid3306: instead of resetting the timer (not possible I think), why don't you write a script that checks for ssh connections before suspending?

03:44 <leon-p> hmm, but that would mean it will never suspend after the connection is removed...

03:45 <schneid3306> yup, was just typing that. :)

03:45 <leon-p> you can kinda hack it: use swayifle to write some token ("idle", "not idle") to a file, than have a timer or cronjob run every X minutes checking for both that token and active connections before suspending

03:45 <leon-p> not pretty but would work

03:46 <schneid3306> yeah i think it is easier to just restart the systemd service via itself

03:47 <leon-p> probably, yeah

09:58 <pkap> Isn't this what the idle inhibit protocol is made for?

13:37 <leon-p> pkap: yes, but I am not aware of any existing program which inhibits idle when ssh connections exist

13:37 <leon-p> also the protocol needs a surface to inhibit idle

13:58 <leon-p> implementing window positioning rules in your WM just for some window to decide changing title after mapping is fine, so the window briefly appears where it shouldn't...

17:46 <myster> is there are a way configure the display that gets focus on startup? or is it based on the order river gets the outputs?

18:14 <zuki> as far as im aware no... although  you can put

18:14 <zuki> riverctl focus-output DP-5

18:14 <zuki> in your init.

18:20 <myster> it's interesting that wayland doesn't really offer a solution for this and leaves it up to the compositor

18:20 <myster> but thank you

18:22 <zuki> glad I could help.
