arbtt-capture.desktop[PID]: Xlib: extension "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" missing on display ":0". #153
Comments
I don’t have that. Are you using wayland? Or is anything possibly |
Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot to add basic information.
Yes, Wayland. Wayland tends to break a lot of things. |
Ok, thanks. I guess someone (you?) can try to find out if there is a way to probe extensions before using them that does not print the warning. |
Sorry, I am just a beggar with no programming skill other than web related stuff.
|
Heh, the author of xscreensaver tends to have very explicit opinions about many things (not necessarily a bad thing).
Guess we'll have to wait until someone is itched by this enough to scratch it. As a work around you could wrap Does it otherwise work fine with Wayland? |
No, the log keeps getting corrupted like in #148 (comment).
I have to use arbtt-recover for it to work again. I log my game times so I rarely check arbtt and let it runs in the background like it doesn't exist. I must have checked twice and it was corrupted. It's a minor hindrance in the end. |
No, these corruptions occur if it couldn't finish writing the log, I believe, and are not related to Wayland (I think). Youthful sin of mine… but the recovery process should give you back almost all data just fine. |
so on wayland arbtt cannot capture idle time? |
I have so far ignored wayland (and reading blog posts like https://anarc.at/software/desktop/wayland/ sounds like I better still wait for a few years until it is a seamless transition), so I am not sure. But maybe someone who knows wayland can contribute patches? |
so far so good
|
author here: kind of sorry my post comes out that way! switching to wayland is not only worth it, it's kind of become mandatory. i explain "why switch" at the top of the article, and i was hoping that would be sufficient to convert people over, but it seems like my convoluted setup scared the living hell out of anyone who reads that piece. :p point is: i did it, it's done, and it works. before i migrated to wayland, xorg would just crash randomly, so it's a huge win for me, and i encourage you to give it a shot. :) |
Thanks and sorry for the misrepresentation! |
Are you saying that arbtt works fine on Wayland out of the box? |
hey don't worry about it :) i'm quite rant-y on good day, so it's normal it transpires as "wayland is crap" :) |
for over half year, I am using wayland and no problems so far |
My impression is that the capturing only reports Xwayland windows. At least that is how it works on my system. |
you are right :( |
As wayland become the default on many distribution, is their any plan to make it work? currently I see only specific desktop environment solution, and unfortunately none yet for KDE that I use |
No immediate plans yet. I'm not sure if we even have the necessary libraries for Haskell yet? Happy to help anyone who wants to tackle that task! |
EDIT: just noticed it's been unmaintained for 5 years, and therefore of course isn't compatible to current GNOME shell versions :/ |
My journal gets spammed with that entry every 30 secondes (time I set the sample rate).
Kinda drive me crazy.
