[e-users] question on compiling

2014-11-01 Thread Frederik Vanrenterghem
The release announcements usually have this snippet:

If you have an existing EFL or Elementary install, you may wish to
delete its header files and libraries before compiling and installing to
avoid possible conflicts during compilation.

What better way to do this short from deleting /usr/local ?

Thx,
Frederik

 hmm. interesting. so the monitor is being unplugged as far as sw is concerned.

Yes indeed.
I have now worked around the issue by running everything over DVI.
As I only had 2 DVI ports, this does mean I've had to hack it up a bit 
with a HDMI-DVI converter :p

But at least I can once more turn my monitors off without things getting 
messy.

 likely missing screensaver extension support in vlc - i added this fgeature
 to efl a little bit ago so rage could do just this. i do know it works
 (when in fullscreen mode).

 vlc does have an option to Inhibit the power management daemon during
 playback, which is enabled..

 maybe it's not working? i know it should use the xscreensaver extn inhibit
 protocol. thats what efl is using.

VLC uses xdg-screensaver from xdg-utils for this, according to this: 
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/4739

 343.22 on arch


Current stable nvidia is 340.46

You can download the original sources for the previous install. Run
configure with the same configure flags that you used earlier, and then run
make uninstall.

that's a bit silly when there is an actual real x extension protocol for
exactly this purpose. the only thing that might be better is a window hint and
let the wm control it - then it can change policy based on the state of the
window (visible or not, fullscreen or not, on current desktop or not - maybe
only affect no-blank on that particular screen (though not possible in x11with
dpms etc. - just the blacking out of the screen) etc.)

I can't comment on the vlc devs decisions, obviously..

Could they maybe have ended up with that solution due to the cross 
platform nature of VLC? I would not expect an application that gets used 
heavily on windows to take full advantage of X11 protocols..

But looking at the usage for xdg-screensaver, it does sound like a 
useful thing. I have no idea how it works though, it certainly doesn't 
for me..

Sounds good to me, but apparently, a full screen VLC isn't fullscreen..

I do have the Disable blanking for Fullscreen Windows setting ticked, 
but it does still blank.

Incidentally, it seemed that that E crashed each time it was blanking 
earlier today.. I enabled presentation mode to make it stop.
