Thanks for the hint! :) E handily helps you out... but in general go check on what has setuid bits after ninja install and just ensure these stay there... otherwise expect issues. > > > The original Mexicah flag (not the spurious one created by descendants of > > > the iberian colonizers after 1821) is usually built for my E environment, > > > as well, and is attached -- as there is missing flag in E source. > > > > we dont have a mexican translation - regular spanish thus the spanish flag. > > if we had a es_MX then we'd need a flag for mexico :) > I was thinking more along the lines of nah_MX, or na_MX, as Nahuatl is > the native language of those who designed the previously attached > Mexicah flag, but ... Well.. if we had a translation... we'd have a need to include the flag as it is a clear indicator of a specific language (Nahuatl). We don't want to get into the politics of who invaded who and force what on who over the centuries, just support what is out there in the hopes that it makes it easier for people to choose the thing they want so they can get on with using their desktop. :) > > > EFL from experimental built nicely, > > > http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/efl/efl_1.24.1-1.debian.tar.xz > > > > > > ...as well as Terminology > > > < > > > http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/terminology/terminology_1.7.0-1.debian.tar.xz > > > > > > > > > > I solved the backlight issue by > > > > > > apt-get install brightness-udev brightnessctl > > > > > > …subsequently, via sudo or acquiring root privilege I typed the command: > > > brightnessctl set +50% > > > > you should not need this. > Well, after the enlightenment_system 'setuid bit' was set -- > unbeknownst to me -- E's light bulb slider worked! I verified it does. there you go... also if you have libddcutil.so... desktop monitor backlights will also magically work like a laptop. E will control your monitor settings remotely via the DDc side-channel over HDMI/DP etc. ... but you need libddcutil.so.2 this also requires enlightenment_system to be setuid root... > > enlightenment_system will use udev to query for > > backlight devices and swizzle the appropriate one. it works on all the > > laptops i have at any rate... > > > > > It brightened my screen by 50% over the current opaque boot state in my > > > environment. > > > > > > And yes by doing command: > > > > > > man terminology > > > > > > I belatedly realized Terminology can be made transparent ;-) > > > > > > tyalpha 9 (range to 50, for instance) > > > > or right click and use the settings gui and slider to change it. > > > > > http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-5f0b1d80749a30.34194471.jpg > > > > > > Now I only need to find out how to spark a 'fully animated background'. > > > > tybg file.mp4 > > tybg file.gif (animated gif) > > or do it from the menu and select a file that is animated. :) > > > Well, I was under the assumption the 'fully animated background' > executed as an Enlightenment Desktop Background feature. that's also possible - if you just dnd some mp4 or animated gif into ~/.e/e/backgrounds/ - you can select it and presto. videos play as a wallpaper. it just works™ :) > But, thanks, it is also cool as a Terminology background feature > --though the command was not very intuitive to convey animated media, > as well. the util is insanely primitive. you can do the same with with an echo "..." with the right escape codes. thats all tybg does. it sets the bg to that file via an escape code. may files are accepted. jpeg, png, svg, pdf, mp4, gif, ... and much more. hell you can set a ppt as a background. even a word doc or open office spreadsheet ... if you are so inclined. > > > > [] > > -- > > ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- > > Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com > > > Best Professional Regards. > > -- > Jose R R > http://metztli.it > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Download Metztli Reiser4: Debian Buster w/ Linux 5.5.19 AMD64 > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > feats ZSTD compression https://sf.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Official current Reiser4 resources: https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/ -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
