So the build-in seatd works only for users that have both input and graphics access? None of my regular users have input group membership so I guess this built-in doesn't come into play here. Just to confirm that I understand correctly, back i Chimaera my X was using logind for input mediation and that let me startx under different users at the same time (I was not passing any arguments to startx either). Now there seem to be three problems in Daedalus:
startx(logind) now crashes when switching to another VT, so I cannot test what would happen if a second startx(logind) session was started. I assume it would work fine like in Chimaera.
startx(logind) fails with "Device or resource busy" if there is a startx(seatd) session already running under another user.
startx(seatd) fails with "Broken pipe" if there is a startx(seatd) session already running under another user.

Thanks for the confirmation @fsmithred.
Does any of these changes affect the ability of one user to keylog the other user when both users run X servers? Without a mediation process like seatd/logind or with any of them.
And while we're at it, since both users have video membership, does that mean that even when switching away from their X, a process under such a user can capture the screen of the other user?
@ralph.ronnquist I tried the command you posted but it unfortunately didn't work. The second user isn't a member of input btw. First it tried with seatd and failed with "Could not poll connection: Broken pipe" then it tried with logind and it failed with "Could not take device: Device or resource busy"
#7 Re: Other Issues » Lazarus package broken? » 2023-08-25 13:24:47
Hello Ralph. I've done all three during the upgrade to Daedalus and I've done the first two multiple times after it to fetch updates to my installed packages. I tried again right now and I did not see any packages that I have not upgraded (and it did fetch the repos again).
Digging a bit deeper it looks like it fails because
lcl-2.2 is not installable because
lcl-gtk2-2.2 is not installable because
fp-units-gtk2 is an unmet dependency because
libatk1.0-dev depends on libatk1.0-0 (= 2.46.0-5) but 2.48.3-1~bpo12+1 is to be installed and, additionally, libatk1.0-dev depends on gir1.2-atk-1.0 (= 2.46.0-5) but 2.48.3-1~bpo12+1 is to be installed.
So I guess they need an exact version but I have a newer one already installed from stable-backports because of gimp-gap.
But gimp-gap needs any libatk1.0-dev version above or equal to 1.12.4, so why isn't apt simply downgrading my libatk1.0-0 version to fix the dependencies?
As for the gir1.2-atk-1.0 dependency it's because lutris depends on gir1.2-gtk-3.0 which in turn depends on gir1.2-atk-1.0 (>= 2.35.1) which once more means that apt should be able to downgrade from the backported 2.48.3 to 2.46.0 and lutris will be happy too.
I guess apt isn't that smart and I need to manually fix the versions of these two packages? (gir1.2-atk-1.0 and libatk1.0-0) Is there anything I need to remember if I fix their versions? For example, how do I know that I'm not missing out on security updates on them?

Hi all. I had a really nice setup on Chimaera where I had one user for gaming and one for everything else. I had stopped using slim because I wanted to avoid having xorg running as root so instead my computer would require me to login on a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and then I would run startx to start XFCE. This worked perfectly. Both users were able to run separate Xorgs on different virtual terminals and I could switch between them by Ctrl+Alt+F* at will.
After upgrading to Daedalus if I try to switch away from the first Xorg, even if I'm just switching to a plain virtual terminal and not another xorg, even if there's no other Xorg running, the first Xorg crashes and when I switch back to it (Ctrl+Alt+F1) I'm already dropped back at the console.
I found these in the xorg crash log in my user directory:

Fatal server error:

But I do have elogind installed because it's a dependency of digiKam. I'd rather just use startx after having logged in on the console. My user is a member of the video group, I checked again. I'm not sure why I get this: "AMDGPU(0): failed to set mode: Permission denied"
Any ideas? Am I unknowingly using a login manager?
Thank you!
EDIT: I tried installing seatd and now I can switch out of my active xorg and into a VT but it will fail to start a second Xorg under a different user account. I removed it again for now since I think just solving the permission denied issue will make everything as it was before the upgrade.

#11 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Atril print preview does not work » 2022-12-15 00:17:11
I still use Atril, it's just that the print preview now opens, and it opens in evince, and before installing evince Atril was complaining (in the stdout) that evince was not found.
Could it be that print previews are for example in postscript and for some reason postscript is associated with evince even when evince is not installed? But I don't see how this could be the case. Where are file associations stored in XFCE? I think the suggested ones come from .desktop files but where is the currently active association stored? The one that xdg-open would use to open the file (if xdg-open is even used by XFCE).
#12 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Atril print preview does not work » 2022-12-13 17:22:22
I suppose evince should be marked as an suggested dependency on Atril and that would solve the issue, correct? But in terms of this thread, is there anything more to do to resolve it?
You error seems somewhat different. I also got the avahi errors since I've removed avahi but I got a message clearly saying evince was not found, which I don't see in your log.

What the title says. Version 1.24.0 on Chimaera. Print preview in Atril shows a progress bar quickly and then nothing, it just goes back to showing the document as is. You can fix this by installing evince. I thought I'd post in case anyone encounters this in the future.

Thank you aluma! That's the solution to my problem. I'll need to find a way to do it programmaticaly with bash though since I'm just passing filenames to this bash script that internally calls locate with them.
andyp67 indeed find is much more predictable with the exception of the -exec argument which took me some time to get used to.

This is driving me crazy. I am making a bash script that is given one or more files and will search with location for other locations that the same filename shows up. So I need to make this work given the whole filename. I intend to use this script as a custom Thunar action and it actually works fine for files that don't have square brackets in their name. But I have a file named:
5481[2].jpg (image).htmlI want to use locate to search in what other locations it exists. Specifically
locate -b "(image).html"will show the file, so the file is in my mlocate db. But trying to search with
locate -b "5481[2].jpg (image).html" returns zero results!
Even leaving the bash script aside for a while and simply opening a terminal and typing "locate" then the start of the filename and tab completing it, which escapes the filename with backslashes, still returns zero results while it works for any other file without square brackets.
What gives? What's so special about these square brackets that locate refuses to use them in a search expression? The same issue applies to all my files with square brackets in their filenames.
My only other option would be to find a way to turn a filename into a regex and then user the regex mode of locate. Is there a command that I can filter a filename through to turn it into a proper regex?
Thank you.
#18 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Accessing fora on the web » 2022-09-19 19:40:16
Maybe try changing your user agent for all domains instead, confirm it actually changed with some site that shows you your user agent string, and then retry on discourse.
If it's still not working it's possible that they are testing for some JS feature support and not the agent string.
#19 Desktop and Multimedia » Mousepad does not open files over gvfs » 2022-09-11 16:36:32

I'm assuming gvfs is what Thunar uses when I go to a url like sftp://user@123.123.123.123/some/path. Thunar seems able to browse sftp locations with gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-common, gvfs-daemons and gvfs-libs installed but double clicking files to open with Mousepad will simply open an empty document called Untitled 1 as if I just opened the application without any arguments. Trying to open files with Mousepad from the terminal like so:
mousepad "sftp://user@123.123.123.123/some/path/filename.txt"will give:
Invalid URI: "sftp://user@123.123.123.123/some/path/filename.txt"I saw somewhere else on the internet that I should install gvfs-fuse as well but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Any ideas please? :-/

I'll check it out soon! Worst case I break my desktop env and I use timeshift to rollback. :-)
#24 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » The abstract and network socket for X » 2022-08-30 18:30:50
Thank you for the info about slim and Wayland.
When you say "hand over to the normal user" what do you mean? Who is the normal user? Do you mean that GDM somehow start a new X under the user that just logged in? (I'm assuming the X for the login screen of GDB runs as root, right?)
I can do startx after logging in on a console, that's fine by me. Do I gain something by having a graphical login screen? (I'm also curious, does startx do the cookie generation (.Xauthority) when it's run?
I need to research Wayland. I've known it by name and that it's a replacement for X but I know nothing beyond that. X seems like a relatively simple program to understand how it works in terms of who can do what, notwithstanding my ignorance on where the socket even is in the first post above. If I understand it correctly, If X is started (by slim in my case) and given the cookie of a user, no other user will be able to connect to that X anyhow. So what extra does Wayland offer? Is the benefits of Wayland usable only when I have multiple graphical users logged into one X at the same time? And I guess with slim I can't have multiple graphically logged in users.
I've always wanted to try a tiling manager but I don't know if it will be worth it on a laptop screen. I'll check sway out. I was thinking of trying ratpoison at some point too.
