desktop-tools
|
|
=============
|
|
:compact-option:
|
|
|
|
'desktop-tools' is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful
|
|
to other people as well:
|
|
|
|
- 'wmstatus' does literally everything i3/sway don't but I'd like them to.
|
|
It includes PulseAudio volume management and custom-made NUT and MPD clients,
|
|
all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software, of course
|
|
- 'paswitch' displays a list of all PulseAudio sinks and ports and allows
|
|
switching between them, moving all playing inputs
|
|
- 'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have
|
|
- 'input-switch' likewise switches the input source of external displays
|
|
- '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
|
|
- 'priod' sets process CPU, I/O and OOM killer priorities automatically
|
|
according to configuration
|
|
- 'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb
|
|
and nmcli that are painfully lacking it
|
|
- 'iexec' runs a program and attempts to restart it cleanly when the
|
|
executable file is replaced on the disk
|
|
- 'gdm-switch-user' tells the running GDM daemon, if any, to show the switch
|
|
user screen
|
|
- 'siprandom' uses the SipHash 2-4 algorithm to produce a stream of
|
|
pseudo-random data; it should be fast enough to saturate most devices
|
|
- 'big-brother' tracks the title of the active window and the idle state of
|
|
the user and writes these events to standard output.
|
|
|
|
Few of them are useful outside of Linux.

Packages
|
|
--------
|
|
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included) +
|
|
Runtime dependencies: libpulse, libx11, dbus-1, libgdm (optional)
|
|
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/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
