'desktop-tools' is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful
|
2016-02-14 19:28:22 +01:00
|
|
|
to other people as well:

|
|
|
- 'wmstatus' does literally everything my dwm doesn't but I'd like it to. It
|
2016-01-10 02:22:43 +01:00
|
|
|
includes PulseAudio volume management and hand-written NUT and MPD clients,
|
2016-01-22 08:56:34 +01:00
|
|
|
all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software of course.
|
2016-01-10 02:22:43 +01:00
|
|
|
- 'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have.
|
2017-02-09 20:12:09 +01:00
|
|
|
- 'input-switch' likewise switches the input source of external displays.
|
2016-01-22 08:56:34 +01:00
|
|
|
- 'fancontrol-ng' is a clone of fancontrol that can handle errors on resume
|
|
|
|
|
from suspend instead of setting fans to maximum speed and quitting;
|
|
|
|
|
in general it doesn't handle everything the original does
|
2016-01-22 08:59:58 +01:00
|
|
|
- 'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb
|
|
|
|
|
and nmcli that are painfully lacking it
|
2016-01-27 20:22:49 +01:00
|
|
|
- 'gdm-switch-user' tells the running GDM daemon, if any, to show the switch
|
|
|
|
|
user screen
|
2016-02-14 19:28:22 +01:00
|
|
|
- 'siprandom' uses the SipHash 2-4 algorithm to produce a stream of
|
|
|
|
|
pseudo-random data; it should be fast enough to saturate most devices
|
2016-10-12 18:21:36 +02:00
|
|
|
- 'big-brother' tracks the title of the active window and the idle state of
|
|
|
|
|
the user and writes these events to standard output.

Don't expect them to work under any OS that isn't Linux.

Packages
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
|
|
|
|
|
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
|
|
|
|
|
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
|
|
|
|
|
list of repositories and their respective links at:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git

|
2016-03-10 21:55:15 +01:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/desktop-tools.git
|
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir desktop-tools/build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd desktop-tools/build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the applications, you can do either the usual:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ cpack -G DEB
|
|
|
|
|
# dpkg -i desktop-tools-*.deb
