desktop-tools

desktop-tools is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful to other people as well:

  • 'dwmstatus' does literally everything my dwm doesn’t but I’d like it to. It includes PulseAudio volume management and hand-written NUT and MPD clients, all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software of course.

  • 'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have.

  • '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

  • 'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb and nmcli that are painfully lacking it

  • '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

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:

Building

Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included)
Runtime dependencies: libpulse, libx11, libgdm (optional)

$ 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
